DOOM, now with 100% less MF, is a strange fellow; of that there is no doubt. So, when the masked rapper announces a new project, you might want to reconsider holding your breath.
In a recent interview with Hip Hop DX, DOOM spoke on his new album BORN LIKE THIS., (TMT Review), including updates on “new” projects that we have been hearing about for the past 400 years. Most importantly for this news story, DOOM says that the Madvillain, Ghostface Killah/DOOM, and possibly even King Ghidra (a.k.a. King Geedorah) projects are still alive and well.
So, what can you expect? Probably nothing right away, but DOOM claims the Ghostface Killah/DOOM album is somewhere between 40-42% done, and Madvillain is “a little closer.” Meanwhile, King Ghidra may or may not be recording a new album for Adult Swim’s Williams Street Records, which might be done by the end of the year. There also might be a new KMD album, but it sounds like it won't contain any of the original members other than DOOM, so it doesn’t actually really sound like a KMD record at all.
Obviously there are a lot of “ifs” and “maybes” going on here, but nice to hear DOOM still at least plans on being productive. Either way, you should read the full interview, because it's funny.
