I'll be the one to come out and say it. I sense that MF DOOM's legacy is being pimped by many people. As a fact, the same culture that supported MF DOOM supports Supreme. But DOOM wasn't fashion forward. In fact, he was rarely seen. And if you know a thing or two about what he did, seeing him meant BUSINESS.
Supreme is dropping a line of DOOM wear soon. There's already DOOM clothing being sold on his website, but now there's a brand involved. DOOM was anti-establishment, not to mention anti-brands.
Now I understand that, as great as DOOM was, he didn't make a ton of money. So his wife and children need the money. But no one knows much about his estate. And, from what I'm seeing, no one cares. NO ONE has made a proper song to a DOOM beat since his passing. Granted people want the instrumentals to live, but DOOM was all about collaboration and checkin' the mic on HIS instrumentals.
Get to know that man THROUGH THE MUSIC before you try to get rich off his legacy.
