Labtekwon Speaks on Mos Def Biting & Performing MF DOOM song @ Paris Fashion Week, Rupert Murdoch Jr & Rawkus Records & More ; Lord Jamar Agrees

[New Jeruzalem Journalist]

The thought or idea that this is somehow "biting" is one of the dumbest things I've ever heard.

I refuse to believe people legitimately feel Mos is biting DOOM's music and artistry when they say that. It's impossible for a person to be that dense.

I watched it once I don't even remember his facial expression.
Music is music. When you equate to something else like shopping it's an insult. Now, people who are fans of the person you insulted are going to take shots at you. See the original post if this thread.

i guess it's all a matter of a person's point view or perception rather

i didn't take it as a diss

i took it as a great observation and calling it for what it is.

music is music, but there is genres/subgenres and categories so when people call it something that it is or what they perceive it as, it's just that.

Is he using Doom's music to virtue signal for himself? Maybe biting is the wrong word but this is a weird occurrence. Did people do full Tupac, Biggie concerts when they passed? I don't remember that.

It's only "a great observation" because you agree with it. It was an unnecessary slam to me.

This is another thing he does on the show. He talks about his relationship with Doom, and he raps his bars often on there. I think it's just a Mos thing. If Kweli died, Mos would probably rap his songs on stage too.

OK, other deceased MCs left behind friend MCs in the physical. They didn't feel a need to perform an entire show of their songs.
De La put him on, when is the Trugou/Dave concert?

It'll be a long night if you try to box in Mos' actions with other MC's. I don't know if he's done anything for Dave or not. Maybe it's happened. Maybe he did something for him at this same show.

Whether it's weird, unconventional, or whatever is a separate discussion.

No person familiar with hip-hop, Mos Def, DOOM, stage shows, etc. can say with a straight face that a person doing tribute shows and cover songs is biting.

So I guess all the artists that did covers at the VH1 Hip-Hop Honors when they were still having them were all biters too?




This is just people on the internet grasping at straws to shyt on somebody they have an issue with.

He hasn't done anything like this for Dave, that's fact.

Unnecessary criticism creates unnecessary criticism I guess.

De La, 2pac and Biggie are not massively underated/unsung MC's like Doom is, that's the difference.

The remainder of De La Soul is still here to do that.

On topic, he's doing too much, and the LAST thing we need is another podcsast.

And he's a rapper from here Been around for decades

He's BEEN showing love for YEARS now
