DOOM,
His metal mask signature like sfumato. Speaking on sfumato,
The Last Supper has it. The Last Supper is Born Like This. Leonardo da Vinci for DOOM, the Last Supper was born like this. Born perfect, the mural begins to deteriorate soon after, a corrosion attributed to the unconventional painting technique of Leonardo which is so like Born Like This, a perfectly villainous album which quickly became flawed because of the unconventional way DOOM released it (i.e releasing it as DOOM and not MF DOOM) as well as comparisons to his other solo releases like Mm..Food and Operation Doomsday. Speaking of Operation Doomsday, it's Virgin of the Rocks, simple as that. Okay, maybe not so simple cause they is the whole two versions thing to explain. Explanation: Louvre and London are versions for Virgin of the Rocks whilst Operation Doomsday's got its Fondle'Em Records and MetalFace Records too. 1486 and 1508 for Virgin of the Rocks, Operation Doomsday matches it with 1999 and 2011. As for the differences, 2011 Operation Doomsday got more songs than the 1999 version just like the 1486 Virgin of the Rocks' figures are compositionally larger than the 1508 version. All in all, Operation Doomsday is Virgin of the Rocks. Continuing on with the religious leanings, Saint John the Baptist points up to salvation. Who else he pointing to if not Salvador Mundi? That's Vaudeville Villain who is being pointed to by King Gheedorah of Take Me To Your Leader. The King will take you to the Leader if you but ask like a Q&A.
Q: Who's the Lady and Ermine? Mona Lisa too.
A: Underground and on-ground masterclasses, that's 2004's Madvillainy and Mm..Food. Genius and madness like The Lady and Ermine, they MF DOOM and Madlib, the duo that combine for the fine line. Fine wine, that's Mona Lisa who aged from ordinary to most famous and Mm…Food from mere raps to a seminal solo masterpiece, an art piece like Giuseppe's Vertumnus, all Emperor. Imperial decree is an angel's words if God was a king but leaving aside what God is, the angel Gabriel speaking to Mary is The Annunciation. A collaborative effort between Andrea del Verrocchio and Leonardo da Vinci, they are The Mouse and The Mask respectively. Angel tells Mary he will conceive miraculously and give birth to a son to be named Jesus. Note: A son IS born. His name is DOOM and he was born miraculously. Born Like This and will die like this. After all, Born Like is the Last Supper, there's nothing after. Portrait of a Musician? Metal Fingers' Special Herbs Box Set, that's what. Got to be. Undeniably, unquestionably so.

Leonardo and Collaborator made The Triumph of Aemilius Paulus, that's the Keys to the Cuff. Add another face and its The Virgin and Child with Saint Anne. 1,2,3 like The Virgin, the Child and Saint Anne. That Trinity is like KMD, Kausing much Damage even when incomplete. They both share those fates. The Child don't care, he busy grappling with the lamb that symbolises his Passion. So is Zev Love X, a Passion that involves a death underground, a rebirth above ground as a villain, that villain's first operation, that villain's first collaboration and that villain's death so no, the Child has no time to look at the mountains. Pity, they are truly incredible. Less so is The Madonna and Child with the Infant Saint John the Baptist but that's only because its a lost composition. So is Crack in Time by KMD. It was just an announcement. Madonna of the Yarnwinder or rather, Czarface and MF DOOM was announced and they delivered. Then delivered again some years later, call it Virgin of the Rocks-esque. Not Operation Doomsday quality, no way, but the versions are true, its got two. The Bucclech Madonna and Lansdowne Madonna are it. The former Madonna is Czarface Meets Metal Face and the latter Madonna is Super What? Super What? Lowkey, that's what, call that A Miracle of Saint Donates of Arezzo which is NehruviaDOOM. The Virgin and Child with Two Angels is WestSideDOOM's 2-track EP. All know who the Child is so I dare not speak on the Virgin. Catholics might really gun me down. Or the Anglicans, the Oriental Orthodox and never forget the Lutherans, they can get villainous like Luther. As for Eastern Orthodox…
In other news, Christ has been baptised, call that Venomous Villain. Go into a desert and you'll find a lion with with its mouth open, its not roaring but astonished at how aged the hermit looks. A shadow of his former self, hermit's like a ghost, Ghostface Killah. Of course the lion is MF Doom. Of course the unfinished painting is an unreleased album. Of course, Saint Jerome in the Wilderness is Swift & Changeable. Swift & Changeable,
That's DOOM in a nutshell.
