Heytth vagay dariyya-o-bhala jhoolay laal-un Sindhrri da, sevan da sakhee, shahbaz qalandar Laal meri pathh, rakhio bala jhoolay lalan Thumak thumak jani aan maen maaye de naal (The lyrics below were changed to be sung from the groom’s side, not the bride’s side like the original song.) Kandhay pe sar rakh ke ab mujhko tum sonay do Ghar valay ab hum ko khud leynay aein gay Rastay mein ham donon, ghar kaisay jaein gay Sar pe zameen paoon ke neechay hai asaman Mohe suhagan keeni re, moh se naina milayke
Matwari kar deeni re, moh se naina milayke Gori gori baiyan, hari hari churiyan īahiyan pakarh har leeni re moh se naina milaykeīahiyan pakarh har leeni re, moh se naina milayke Īpni si rang deeni re, moh se naina milaykeĪpni si rang deeni re, moh se naina milayke It’s one of DOOM’s most earnest verses, all the more powerful for its plainspoken humanity: “Remember when you went and got the dark blue Ballys / I had all the different color Cazals and Gazelles,” DOOM recalls fondly, ending with a particularly poignant couplet: “I keep a flick of you with the machete sword in your hand / Everything is going according to plan, man.Ballay ballay bai je toon meri tor vekhniĬhhap tilak sab chheen ni re moh se naina milayke īat adham keh dee ni re moh se naina milayke Ĭhhap tilak sab chheen ni re moh se naina milayke DOOM shows us the man behind the mask, so to speak, looking back on life with his brother and fellow KMD member, Dingilizwe “DJ Subroc” Dumile, whose accidental death at age 19 forever altered his older brother’s life. The then-fledgling villain spends his first verse forging his roguish persona (“He cleans his metal mask with gasoline, they after ‘em / Last seen pulling chicks like a fiend pull a fast one”), but it’s the second verse that makes this song so special. No selection of DOOM tracks will ever feel like a sufficient microcosm of his inimitable output, but that won’t stop us from celebrating 25 of the supervillain’s best songs, from Madvillainy hits to his vast assortment of features and deep cuts.ĭOOM self-produced this standout from his debut album Operation: Doomsday, incorporating an Isaac Hayes sample and a verse from his frequent collaborator Kurious. He was one of the funniest, most inventive MCs to ever pick up a microphone, a true original who essentially created a mythology all his own. The masked rapper allowed himself to be subsumed by his art, committing wholly to his villainous persona(s), and crafting a narrative that made his music all the more vivid and engrossing. Ultimately, DOOM will echo through the decades because he was larger than life. And his solo career was just as kaleidoscopic, as he released solo albums not only as MF DOOM, but also under pseudonyms Viktor Vaughn and King Geedorah. It’s one of the many acclaimed collabs of DOOM’s career, from his early days with trio KMD (as Zev Love X) to team-ups with Danger Mouse, Czarface, Bishop Nehru and many more. He earned it, in part, by releasing one of the most beloved albums of the 21st century: Madvillainy, his 2004 collaboration with DJ/producer Madlib, which the duo released as Madvillain. Artists from Busta Rhymes to Thom Yorke have paid tribute to DOOM, whose influence and artistry transcend the genre in which he operated.ĭOOM is perhaps best summed up as “your favorite rapper’s favorite rapper,” another accolade affirmed by those who have mourned his loss. Though he had made himself relatively scarce in recent years, the enigmatic MC and producer’s death provoked an outpouring that has made his towering legacy plain. The rap landscape was irrevocably altered last week when it was revealed that MF DOOM, born Daniel Dumile (pronounced doom-ee-lay), died of undisclosed causes at age 49 on Halloween of 2020.
