Watch Yasiin Bey Perform MF DOOM Covers Set In Paris
Earlier this week, Yasiin Bey made headlines after saying Drake’s music is for shopping at Target. Yesterday, Bey — formerly known as Mos Def — performed at Wales Bonner’s FW24 Menswear show during Paris Fashion Week, and tonight, at La Cigale, he did a one-off show of all MF DOOM covers.
Bey is a big MF DOOM fan. A 2009 video of him calling DOOM a better rapper than Lil Wayne is always resurfacing. After DOOM died in 2020, Bey covered “ALL CAPS.”
“If I didn’t do it perfectly, I gave it my college try,” he said toward the end of tonight’s set, joking, “and fuck you, try to do it yourself.” Watch fan-recorded clips of him performing “Microwave Mayo,” “Accordion,” “Rhinestone Cowboy,” and “Fancy Clown,” along with some video from the Wales Bonner runway show, below.
