DOOM! In our day and age I feel like MF Doom is most comparable to Socrates. Through Dooms' raps such as Strange Ways he conveys messages such as who the real villains are in society. He makes a reference to how a father is killed by the police for trying to get food for his daughter just because of appearance or byassness. He explains that society is caught up in rules that we didn't even know that we needed. MF Doom is philosophical in many senses and shows it through the lyrics in his music. In almost all of his songs its always about a 3rd person character facing society with an issue that is generally accepted by all but could be potentially be wrong in terms of individuals. MF doom goes against the majority and that is why I feel he is like Socrates.
i understand the concept but he is just not a good rapper this man has no flow
