MF DOOM’s estate has released a limited edition line of merchandise – and the line is drawing a mixed reaction from fans. It’s called The Note Books Collection, and features photos of and a reproduction of a page of the legendary rapper’s notebooks — which were at the center of a legal fight between DOOM’s widow Jasmine Thompson and his former Stones Throw manager Eothen “Egon” Alapatt.
The collection features hoodies and shirts with a photo of some of the notebooks surrounded by a DOOM mask on the front, and on the back there are handwritten lyrics from the rapper’s 2004 track “Deep Fried Frenz.” Under the announcement on the official MF DOOM Instagram page, fans voiced their criticisms.
“[W]eird to have this whole thing about how personal and important these books are to his legacy,” wrote one fan. “Then immediately after getting them, making a merch drop.”
