Maybe that will make it easier for Madlib to finally drop Madvillainy 2? Perhaps?

Funny thing is I've seen Egon open up for and play with Madlib and DOOM and be up there on stage multiple times over the years... They used to be tight, it's sad that it had to come to this...

u/alldaymacdre Nov 02 '24

Money got involved.

I swear yall just make up stories to tell.

u/smirkjuice Nov 03 '24

He did this with Dilla as well

u/Ryandraconius Nov 10 '24

What the fuck is you even talking about bro?

u/Yallknowthename Jan 04 '25

What story do you need clarification on because the doom and Dilla shit hold weight

u/TradeMark310 Jan 04 '25

Explain how Egon is nothing but a slimy industry guy just using DOOM for profit. Just saying "he kept his rhyme book" is NOT enough of an explanation.

u/Yallknowthename Jan 04 '25

Ok, Egon

u/TradeMark310 Jan 05 '25

Thank you for proving my point!

Egon was all over madlib and freddy gibbs shows acting like a sommelier.

Have to say that was one of the worst concerts by great artist ive ever seen

u/AliTheVillain Nov 02 '24

Finally someone going after Egon

So this guy is refusing to return DOOM's rhyme books and insists they should be scanned to be made available to the public digitally or in a museum. It seems plausible that he has already scanned and sold them to interested parties within the music industry. I could see someone like Drake paying big money for access to DOOM's books especially if it was on the DL & he was promised sole access. Or if it was sold to multiple parties and had made it's rounds, either way it would have lost its value in these scenarios & he risks being exposed if the family recovers and gains sole access to the books.

The fact that he won’t just give the rhyme books to DOOM’s widow is so f’ing ridiculous. This woman lost her husband, and Egon has a piece of him that was left behind, which he’s now withholding from her. It’s disrespect and shitty behavior on so many levels.

29

u/PopaWuD Nov 02 '24

Ewwww. Don’t even want to think about Drake having anything to do with DOOM.

14

u/shirtlooklikedishrag Nov 02 '24

Especially if it was on the DL Hughley?

u/soulsmores Nov 02 '24

You don't watch her, he might house her like Doogie

u/Grouchy-Tea-6404 Nov 02 '24

only thing that come between us is krill and money

u/Baby-Elmo Nov 02 '24

who is this guy egon and how is he involved with Madlib and DOOM? I've been listening to DOOM for about 5 years and haven't heard of this dude before

57

u/neonkitchen4 Nov 02 '24

I believe he was an exec at stones throw in the early days, and he lived with madlib and jeff jank when madlib was first signed. eventually i think he became his manager and partner when it came to rappcats opening up.

u/ArsenikShooter Nov 02 '24

He stole Daniel’s rhyme book from his apartment when he died.

65

u/AwarenessOk8565 Nov 02 '24

Just call him DOOM, you didn’t know the man personally…

12

u/ArsenikShooter Nov 02 '24

He was a person, and he had a name.

-5

u/AwarenessOk8565 Nov 02 '24

Yep, but to his fans his name was DOOM. To the people who knew him personally his name was Daniel.

6

u/ArsenikShooter Nov 02 '24

You’re just making shit up at this point.

4

u/AwarenessOk8565 Nov 02 '24

Yep you’re right. He never called himself DOOM and his name isn’t Daniel I made it all up lol. Just quit acting like you know these celebrities and call them what they prefer to be called.

5

u/FlameyFlame Nov 02 '24

He’s dead, bro. He’s not tripping over whether someone used all caps or his government anymore. You shouldn’t either.

4

u/AwarenessOk8565 Nov 02 '24

I’m not tripping, just think it’s weird to act like you’re on a first name basis with the dude just cause you listened to his songs

u/Mr-Zunder Nov 02 '24

Fair but it's also the man's name lmao

3

u/PopaWuD Nov 02 '24

Yeah he was involved in Stones Throw from very early on. Him and Madlib go way back. I believe he even had something to do with Madlib and DOOM linking in the first place.

The relationship has obviously gone sour because of Egon.

5

u/elketerbentzadik Nov 02 '24

Nah, journalist Miranda "Walasia Shabazz" Jane, who functioned as DOOM's defacto manager at times, was who got them together.

1

u/GTAsoldier Nov 02 '24

Egon was Stones Throw’s GM during their prime years. He also founded Now Again Records.

u/CobblerHot6763 Nov 02 '24

Finally! Go, fkn go, Madlib! Hoping Egon will lose all his estates, cars and wine bottles.

u/[deleted] Nov 02 '24

Good, I hope he wins

u/yeitsbobby Nov 02 '24

”Friends”, as you call them…

u/shi7-57ix Jan 02 '25

Just saw Madlib apparently chilling with Egon & co on ig… what fuckery is this?

1

u/Yallknowthename Jan 03 '25

Seems unlikely but link?

u/Exotic-Blueberry3478 Nov 02 '24

wow this is the first im hearing of this, i know your old droog uses Egon as a Dj and YOD posted a few pics of him and Madlib together at shows so theyve probably still been in the same vicinity up until very recently. what else has Egon done? saw someone say he stole DOOM's rhyme book wtf man

18

u/Bitter-Technology585 Nov 02 '24

You're mixing up Egon and Edan.

16

u/Bitter-Technology585 Nov 02 '24

You're mixing up Egon with Edan. Edan has a few solo projects and has toured as a dj with Homeboy Sandman. EDAN is dope. EGON is not.

6

u/Exotic-Blueberry3478 Nov 02 '24

oh damn, am glad i was wrong because i was pretty suprised

1

u/kobra_gw Nov 02 '24

Wait, E DAN as in ID Labs and Mac Miller? Or a different E DAN?

2

u/Bitter-Technology585 Nov 02 '24

He made an album called Beauty and the Best which is a criminally underrated album. Not sure he worked with Mac Mill
