MF DOOM — DOOM talks about the message of the mask

[Verse: MF DOOM] Yea the whole mask thing Really ight Things in my point of view Starting going to How things looked like Opposed what things sound like Ya know what i mean Before you didn't know what emcees looked like When you see em at party rocking You know so Most times you em rock at a show Before you even knew Know what I'm saying Before videos pre videos You know so You were going off the sound of the record Straight skills See once it started getting more publicized And you know Once hip hop started getting money making thing Then you start getting these corporate ideas Where you want to put what it looks like To sell what to sounds what it looks like We dealing with music So what I did I came with the angle of It don't matter what I look like It don't matter what the artist look like It's more bout what the artist sound like Mask really represents the whole rebel On trying sell a whole human being More of a sound At the same time it's something different You know what I'm saying It fits with the theme Of the theme of the rebel of a villain Where to him He doesn't care bout the fame none of that shit That shit has no consequence You know what i mean It's more on the message On what's being said So it helps people focus more On what's being said It's still entertaining it's still like the theater It has the appeal of you know Something it can be considered entertaining That message is still there That villain represents anybody Anybody can where the mask Can be the villain Male or female any race So call race It's about where you coming from From your heart What's the message What you got to say You know what i mean That's why i mainly chose to bring the mask Into the fold
