I’ve written about MF DOOM here in the past, and have made no secret of my love for his rhymes, which is why I was affected when his family made the news of his passing public on New Year’s Eve (they had kept it under wraps since October 31st, 2020, so they’d have time to grieve). The internet has been buzzing with tributes since. Mine will be a self-indulgent one. Akhil Srivatsan writes.
