A lot of folks mentioning Madvillain here but he went by a couple of other monikers too, also producing incredible albums:

King Geedorah - Take me to your leader [2003] https://open.spotify.com/album/1mrhahrlJu5JfzgeV6Cy8t?si=KqY...

Viktor Vaughn - Vaudeville Villain [also 2003] https://open.spotify.com/album/7HPjcPD2cr8E5oHvVAmBp7?si=sJM...

If you haven't heard these yet I highly recommend checking them out.

His music was a huge part of my early adult years and this news was a surprising and sad way to end the year :(

Just to add to this list -

Dangerdoom - MF DOOM and DJ Danger Mouse https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjyAiNZYWkGYdV_OWY3n9...

KMD - Zeb Love X (MF DOOM) and DJ Subroc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ckprPLMXj5Y

Thank you DOOM for your unique and creative views on life and your perseverance through unforeseeable tragedy. Listening to Black Bastards and then Operation Doomsday is like watching a person's sanity snap in a moment before your eyes - but from the ashes emerged the Metal Faced master. We all wear our masks, some are just shiner than others.

Some personal favorites-

Gorillaz - November Has Come https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EGc9mgpvtxU

MF DOOM - Microwave Mayonnaise https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rHmiQvNzLdc

OMEGAH RED ft. MF DOOM and RZA - Books of War https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pTCp0kJYF30

Vaudeville Villain is possibly my favourite work by him and i didn't like it on release. It was very much an album ahead of it's time and has grown on me massively with time.
It also has the only unmasked music video DOOM appearance I'm aware of (and on a total banger) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WyiB-lkQBFY

The extremely distinctive MARTA train sample in 'Lickupon' actually makes me cri evrytiem as a native Georgian who misses Atlanta a lot https://youtu.be/gupcleKD5dw?t=144

Huh, I always thought that sample was from the BART in the Bay Area. The two sound really familiar. Thanks for sharing, that’s my favorite track of his.
DOOM lived in Atlanta from the time of Operation Doomsday until he got deported to UK in 2010. Cheers :)
