According to a press release, the City Council of Long Beach approved the dedication on July 6 after a successful petition and presentation from MF DOOM’s longtime friend/KMD dancer Jason “J-Quest the Boogieman” Massey, who represented the KMD – MF DOOM Way Committee.
“The honoring of Daniel Dumile, the artist known as MF DOOM, is part of a tradition that must include the Hip Hop generation,” committee member and petition author Dr. Patrick Graham tells
HipHopDX. “His Hip Hop lyricism represents some of the culture’s best linguistic metaphors, garnering intergenerational and interracial admiration.
“His life and art symbolize the resilience we need in our present context.”
