MF DOOM: A Hero in a Villain's Mask
Season 12 of Dissect celebrates the life and legacy of MF DOOM through a line by line, beat by beat analysis of his art. Most of the season will be spent dissecting DOOM and Madlib’s classic album Madvillainy, but we’ll also be covering his debut Operation Doomsday, MM..FOOD, and Born Like This.
On today’s episode, we explore the legend of DOOM’s origin story, including Daniel Dumile’s childhood in New York, the rise and tragic fall of his rap group KMD, and his reemergence as MF DOOM in the late 90s.

Customer Reviews
I just can’t stop listening
Great podcast. Cole, thanks for all the efforts. I’m listening on Spotify and came here just to say thank you. It was a coincidence to discover Dissect and I’m only on S1 but definitely stuck on it and listening each time I have a free minute to actually concentrate.
BTW I loved the story you’ve told at the end of “How much a dollar cost” when you gave money to the woman. Including this into the episode was definitely the right decision.
Keep up the good stuff) And thanks again, Cole. I’m not that into podcasts but Dissect is definitely the best I’ve found so far. And I like the fact you’re doing all this by yourself.
Best,
Julia
