RIP MF Doom (1971 – 2020)

MF Doom was a British-born American rapper. He died two months ago, but news came out only recently.

Like Sun Ra, who he sampled more than once, MF Doom builds his own universe. It is not difficult to see how he influenced Tyler, the Creator, another voice in hip hop I appreciate.

Like Buckethead, MF Doom wore a mask during concerts.

In the public domain as of 2021

First of all, happy new year.

Departure (1935) by Max Beckmann

Second, another year, means another batch of writers and visual artists are in the public domain.

Consider using for your own work, the work of Joseph Schumpeter, George Orwell, Marcel Mauss, Rafael Sabatini, Edgar Rice Burroughs,  Kurt Weill, Eliel Saarinen,  Olaf Stapledon, George Bernard Shaw, Sri Aurobindo,  and Max Beckmann.
