Way Gone Wednesdays: MF Doom

MF Doom (now known simply as, DOOM) is Way Gone.  Anyone who's heard the masked one knows this already.  Back in 2008, he collaborated with The Mighty Underdogs - a supergroup consisting of Gift of Gab (from Blackalicious), Lateef the Truth Speaker (from Laytrx) and producer Headnodic (of Crown City Rockers).   Oddly enough, this single was put out by New York underground label Def Jux.   The wild west themed video (directed by Ben Stokes) itself is 100% certified Way Gone.
