Apparently, MF Doom has imposters who have been performing under his name.

Jay-Z will become a producer for the Broadway musical Fela!

Canibus is back and has released "Air Strike," a diss track directed at Eminem. Doesn't he remember the last feud?

Canibus has got it comin. A diss track where he tricked D12 and mentioned Proof. Yeah he's in for it.

That Timbaland video is horrible...really wtf!?

Hahaha @ Cannibus thinking he will be a somebody. Didn't happen back in the 90s, most definitely won't happen in this century.

I hope Em doesn't even respond to that prick.

And MJ is rolling in his grave knowing that someone tried to avenge him alongside Mariah.

Canibus is so dumb. Didn't he already get squashed by Em years ago?
