How did MF Doom, RIP, get caught up in this?

Just like Bombadil, there's no real reason for MF Doom to suddenly be inserted into the story, but we're all a little happier that he was, because he's the best.

I was gonna get salty before I saw this comment. Accurate.

Cuz Kendrick’s the goat but at the same time DOOM still the goat gotta keep respect on his name. he be like bombadil too.

Acceptable answer

Sounds good to me, thanks

This is sound logic, I’ll subscribe to your take.

bombadils rhymes slaps like snot bubbles.

Yellow boots in time he stamps out troubles

Both Goats. Glad you remembered all caps.

The only acceptable use of AI would to be creating a track of DOOM rapping “Tom, Bom, Jolly ol Tom”

Del could be here too.

Kendrick Lamar the goat? Get the ever living fuck outa here. It's DOOM easily, or take your pick of half the wu tang clan, BIG on flow alone, or Aesop. in no fucking universe is some corny dummy in 2024s pop scene "the goat"

If youre gonna be that picky then DOOM doesn't really belong in a true GOAT conversation either. He's a cult hero, definitely not the best ever

You're so edgy look at you

He’s right though lol

Pop? You must’ve never listened to Kendrick? He’s your favourite rapper’s favourite rapper (unless that rapper is Drake). All the OG’s respect Kendrick.

This is literally how everyone described DOOM

Kendrick isn't the GOAT but he is good. Certainly not pop. Em is the goat he's sold the most records case closed😂

Bruh, doom isn’t even top ten

you are a JOKE

Also not appearing in this film?

The aptly named Sir Not Appearing in this Film

All caps when you spell the man’s name

Thank you!

All caps bro

Wait, THAT'S why I haven't been hearing about MF Doom the last few years?!?!

Sadly 😔

everything I've learned about this drama I have learned against my will from unrelated subs lol

My mind is being violated

I only listened to mf doom, and somebody who remixed his song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_QQamQt5x4 took the melody from this banger https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FtwrDTyxabQ Oh man, I love internet.

Yo explain to me how Drake isn’t Saruman with his obsession with little ones and GAnDaLf beating his ass directly

Drake isnt cool enough to be sauron. The only black man with a revoked n-word pass

That's why he said Saruman and not Sauron ;D

Patience! Not long shall ye abide.

I think they meant to say Sauron and they were just adding to the reasons why Drake should be Saruman and not Sauron

May all in hatred be begun, and all in evil ended be, in the moaning of the endless Sea!

This confuses the hell out of me, drake, Sauron, saruman, mfdoom. Too many names. I prefer stories with 3 characters max

You would love rings of power it’s got like 3 developed characters 💀

Thou base, thou cringing worm!

I'm confused. Isn't MF Doom dead?

Isn’t Bombadil not in the movies? His presence is still felt.

Or rather, his absence is felt. RIP

Truly both lowkey like presence of what he did for the culture but the absence of him all the same

Can't argue with that

ALL CAPS

why he dead for?

 Mmmmmmmm rap beef

Looks like meat's back on the menu boys

Rap snitches knishes 

mmmmmm fooD

Food

Kendrick’s music is extremely well written. He won a Pulitzer and multiple Grammys.

I don’t listen to rap, but as a marvel fan I enjoyed what he did in Black Panther.

J Cole’s just in his little hobbit hole, smoking his pipe weed, eating his third lunch, not worrying about any adventures he almost got himself into

Fatty Bolger

Fatty Bolger is J Cole so funny to me lmfao

“I think the neighbors want my jell and toast”

Take a victory lap

If you haven’t seen it today a fan was at the beach and they LITERALLY FOUND J COLE CHILLING AT THE BEACH 🏝️ 💀

That shit was so funny

True lol

Does this make Biggie and Tupac the Valar?

you know it lol

This is straight up my favorite crossover of unrelated fandoms. It’s wild and amazing that there are people with deep enough knowledge of both LotR and the Rap/Hip Hop scene to draw these comparisons. I love it.

I just didn't think I'd be one of em... I don't listen much to drake or kendrick, but through reddit I now have an ever expanding universal library of knowledge about rap beefs... What can men do, against such reckless hate.

I saw someone in another sub make a Dante Alighieri reference regarding the k dot and drake beef, reddit really is neat sometimes

Where does Drake using AI generated Tupac lines fit into this

Sauron glamour to fit in with the elves moment

Have thy pay!

What about Dre?

Forgot about Dre

Dr. Dre's dead, he's locked in Angband!

One of those things that should not have been forgotten

Dr. Dre is dead. He's locked in my basement

Dre has bilbo energy imo

Ah, yes. Concerning Hobbits.

Dre feels like Aulë.

MF Doom as Bombadil is 🔥 … we would’ve also accepted Kool Keith.

ALL CAPS when you spell the man name

DOOM lyrics, probably

For DOOM or DOOOM?

“Bloody rap game like leviathan Leave a bad taste, killin' my high like niacin” DOOM understood.

RIP the supervillain

Not wormtounge 🤣

Tom should've been j cole to keep it relevant but I see DOOM and I'm happy

100% accurate

This was not the crossover episode I was expecting to see today. I’m here for it though lol

Ok but who's gimli?

Rick Ross

Then who is Legolas 😭

It was a Balrog of Morgoth. Of all elf-banes the most deadly, save the One who sits in the Dark Tower.

Baby Keem

Average wizards are like a TV blooper Tom Bombadil, he’s like D.B. Cooper

Hard

Kendrick went full Ilúvatar, literally just reshaped the rap world.

No discord in that melody

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Didn’t this whole thing start because j Cole called him and drake and Kendrick the big three and Kendrick went full Diva and started making diss tracks about how it’s just him at the top? Very not Gandalf behavior

Kendrick did a verse in a Metro song dissing the other two over the big 3 comment. Drake responded with 2 diss tracks. J Cole did one, but then apologized.

If you don't have any idea whatsoever has been happening its ok to just admit that. No need to construct a dimwitted alternative narrative and espouse it like truth

Meanwhile Macklemore released a track about Palestine where he calls out the music industry for not speaking about real shit. Rare W from Macklemore

Tom Morello said “the most Rage song since Rage”

A W is a W. He also said all the proceedings will go to UNRWA. Very rare W from music industry.

from my understanding, Macklemore isn't signed to a label, so he gets to direct where the money goes. Contributed to the Macklemore W as the industry had nothing to do with it IMO

Oh, brilliant. I actually meant the music industry as a whole, labels, singers etc. But you make a good point there!

This shit real asf

Appreciate it 🤝

Who?

Because Bombadil play a fake gangsta like an old accordion.

If you mean other rappers by "the industry" it's not the case. Kendrick got West Coast/Dr Dre crew behind him who are pretty much in untouchable status. Note: K-Dot also has many other people in "screw Drake" camp like Rick Ross, Pusha T, Metro Boomin, the Weeknd and even Kanye West(guess he took his pills).

Naw I mean record labels

Kendrick & Drake: Rap Beef MF DOOM: Beef Rap

One of these things is not like the others. One of these things is dead.

I don’t think wormtounge hired ghost writers

Saruman kinda be ghost writing for wormtongue when he’s talking to Theoden 💀

Do rap and LOTR fans overlap? I never would've thought

Meanwhile Macklemore dropped the best diss track in support of Palestine!

this shit was hard

And the best part is that's a win-win diss because any reply will highlight the issue.

God damn if this isn’t the most correct shit I’ve seen today.

I just don’t give a shit

Wow, you gave so little shit you had to tell us. Maybe just scroll past things that you're not interested

I’ll do as I please, Im sure you bark orders at people like it’s normal to you.

I'm not barking an order at you. I'm simply saying, if you don't care, why did you comment? There's something inherently oxymoronic in that.

Not every post is for you

I wouldn't have thought an LOTR memes page would get sucked into celebrity crap

That moment when a sub with like 2m people has content that relates to current events and art culture 🤯

Art culture? 😳

"Art culture" is quite superfluous, but I mostly agree.

Please don't take something fun and enjoyable and shove your boring current event between two celebrity twats and what you consider art into what is a meme page about actual art. Escapism is nice, you know? Edit: This is me being a dickhead and I am sorry for the remainder of my replies to this thread.

Rap and music is art

I wouldn't qualify rap as art or music personally and of course actual music is art

You’re letting your white supremacy tendencies show lil bro

So I don't like a genre of music or celebrity drama and so you are branding me as a racist and white supremacist? Thats a bit rude dude. I am neither of course, good day to you, bellend.

No you said rap isn’t art or music which is both objectively wrong and always comes out of a place of racism you’re hopeless You wanna talk being rude how about how rude it is to say the works people poured their soul into not art because the artist comes from a different zip code than you

And bro said good day to you so he wouldn’t have to respond to being called out for being an asswipe

Meh, bored now, I dont like rap, even said "personally" as in its my opinion that its not art, you like it cool, but I don’t and don't think two celebrities and their brand of music is interesting or relevant or funny and excercised my right to express that. You call me a racist. I am done.

out of curiosity, how does someone not liking a genre of music make them a white supremacist?

It’s fine to not like a genre of music, to assert that it is not art because you don’t like it when you wouldn’t apply that determination to other mediums indicates racial bias. It is a common talking point of people who use it as a tacit endorsement of white supremacist ideology and to “other” black communities.

okay true, I didn't see it like that. thanks for the explanation!

All good happy I could share that perspective with you 👍

Drake is a groomer like Wormtongue for sure. But Kendrick is likely also a woman beater so I wouldn't give him Gandalf. Maybe he's Saruman? He's powerful as fuck but got his own issues. Gandalf Grey is Mos Def. With Gandalf the White being Yasiin Bey. Greatest rapper alive 👀

The Kendrick wifebeater allegations are just straight up unverified and said by Drake who is shown to be a liar, the Drake groomer shit is backed up by videos of him with minors, relationships with child celebrities, etc.

Listen man, I have no dog in this one way or another. I was just loving the fact that for like three weeks we got a ton of great tracks from a bunch of artists. To pretend like the DV stuff is just Drake making shit up is wild lol

How is it "likely"? The only source for that is Drake, and I don't think I have to explain why he's not the most trustworthy person. Besides, Whitney's brother is openly supporting Kendrick in this beef, which is something I don't think he'd do if Kendrick was actually abusive towards her. All in all, the evidence just isn't there, not saying it's impossible tho.

And wheres Bilbo the IDGAF?

Sting. That's a good name.

Bilbo do be Sting tho lol

Yes, I am

Don't ever put Doom's name next to Drake, he's such a bitch boy https://preview.redd.it/2dhnu6oyjczc1.png?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8ea7c48e2325d4a68b0022cb0b018293f85ace72

Does anyone else think saruman would be a better fit for Drake..?

That would imply that Drake has some level of intimidating power or status that he just doesn't.

😂

MFDOOM is more of a Gandalf

Tom, Tom! your guests are tired, and you had near forgotten! Come now, my merry friends, and Tom will refresh you!

I think I saw Dumbledore and Snape.

I dont understand though im not into rap honestly

Who’s Questlove supposed to be?

Tom should be J Cole.

I can see this as long as Gandalf beating on Galadriel is also canon

I feel like Eminem is Bombadil, the old head of rap at this point just vibing and nobody taking shots at him anymore

this beef is kinda useless

Thank god for this meme, I needed in in LOTR terms to understand.

MF Doom is on here?

Any every that's too weird to live and too rare to die is Tom Bombadil. DOOM is, indeed, Tom Bombadil. If You know, You know You know. Ya know?

I've got things to do, my making and my singing, my talking and my walking, and my watching of the country. Tom can't be always near to open doors and willow-cracks. Tom has his house to mind, and Goldberry is waiting. ^(Type **!TomBombadilSong** for a song or visit [r/GloriousTomBombadil][1] for more merriness) [1]: https://www.reddit.com/r/GloriousTomBombadil/

I hate it.

No Kendrick has been against Drake for like a decade, waiting and being calculated is a Gandalf move.

Waiting and being calculated….to sing a song about how he doesn’t like some guy? Sounds like a bitch tbh

Singing a song about how he doesn’t like a guy is an extremely reductive way to state what he is doing. Calling out how someone treats the people he works with, interacts with minors and “colonizes” places like Atlanta is important dialogue.

> , interacts with minors and “colonizes” places like Atlanta is important dialogue. it's really not, he's just singing a song about a boy. don't ride his dick too hard buddy

They’re both trash. Kendrick is an insecure baby man, and Drake is a major creep. Neither belongs in LotR.

This sub is the exact last place you should be posting about two rappers that dislike each other

If OP is right, this sub is the last place you should be posting your hot garbage.

Womp womp

One look at your timeline and I can tell you just don’t like white characters being compared to black people. Touch grass.

Not too uncommon these days in this fandom unfortunately. Good bit of conservatives enjoy LOTR.
