MF DOOM, born Daniel Dumile, was a British-American rapper and producer celebrated for his intricate wordplay, masked persona, and innovative approach to hip-hop. Emerging in the late 1990s, he built a devoted following through underground classics like *Operation: Doomsday* and *Madvillainy* (with Madlib as Madvillain). His comic book-inspired alter egos, complex rhymes, and sample-rich production reshaped alternative rap. MF DOOM’s legacy endures as one of hip-hop’s most imaginative and influential artists, revered for turning mystery and craftsmanship into art.
