The former Crack Magazine cover star has passed away.
MF DOOM has died at age 49. His family confirmed in a statement online that the pioneering artist died on 31 October. His wife Jasmine wrote, “The greatest husband, father, teacher, student, business partner, lover and friend I could ever ask for.”
“Thank you for all the things you have shown, taught and given to me, our children and our family. Thank you for teaching me how to forgive beings and give another chance, not to be so quick to judge and write off. Thank you for showing how not to be afraid to love and be the best person I could ever be. My world will never be the same without you. Words will never express what you and Malachi mean to me, I love both and adore you always. May THE ALL continue to bless you, our family and the planet.”
His cause of death has not been disclosed.

I heard that some authors rewrote entire novels by the greats just to see how it felt
Denzel and I made UNLOCKED talking about DOOM every single day just trying to channel an ounce of the feeling
RIP MF DOOM
