Rewind: DOOM 'Born Like This' (Part 2)

Welcome to part 2 of our look at MF Doom's latest album 'Born Like This' as DOOM.

Sure it's been used and abused to death since its release, but no amount of freestyles can diminish J Dilla's original 'Lightworks' from his 'Donuts' album. DOOM uses the beat on 'Born Like This' for his own take on 'Lightworks'. The beat is made up of Raymond Scott's early electronic music works 'Bendix 1: The Tomorrow People' and 'Lightworks' compiled on the album 'Manhattan Research, Inc.' in the year 2000. DOOM's track with Empress Stahrr titled 'Still Dope' reuses Doom's previous Metal Fingers beat 'Passion Flower' which samples Brazilian artist Arthur Verocai's 'Seriado' from his self titled 1972 album. Finally, the track 'That's That' also reuses a Metal Fingers instrumental: 'Hyssop' from 2003's 'Special Herbs vol. 4'. The song samples Galt MacDermot's song 'Princess Gika' from his highly sought after 1969 album 'Woman is Sweeter'. More MacDermot on this blog is inevitable!
