To Dumile
The greatest husband, father, teacher, student, business partner, lover and friend I could ever ask for. Thank you for all the things you have shown, taught and given to me, our children and our family. Thank you for teaching me how to forgive beings and give another chance, not to be so quick to judge and write off. Thank you for showing how not to be afraid to love and be the best person I could ever be. My world will never be the same without you. Words will never express what you and Malachi mean to me, I love both and adore you always. May THE ALL continue to bless you, our family and the planet.
All my Love
Jasmine

MF Doom was one of the pioneers of rap and hip-hop and was blessed with the skills of crafting impossibly delicate rhyming schemes.
In the early 90’s MF Doom fashioned his stage name and persona based on the Marvel Comics character Doctor Doom, a supervillain in the Marvel universe, who also wore a metal mask.
In his solo career, MF Doom recorded six studio albums through 1999 to 2009, all which have been praised by critics. He is most known for his complex and intricately wound rhyming schemes, as shown in the video below.
