Is MF Doom using lip-syncing imposters?

You know, if this had been anyone else I would be pissed, but from Doom I'm not all that shocked

Has masked hip-hop renegade MF Doom been dispatching lip-syncing look-alikes to cover his shows? The controversy came to light after a disastrous August 15th performance at San Francisco's live music venue the Independent that featured a noticeably skinnier and particularly furtive Doom rapping for twenty minutes – into a dead mic. According to opening act DJ Enki, Doom’s abrupt departure provoked an already frustrated audience: fans booed, threw bottles, called for a refund (no such luck), and left convinced that Doom, or whoever performed, never rapped a word.

“The only thing that was live about the show was the hype man’s mic,” DJ Enki says

And check out the video that Wired got from Rock The Bells (pay close attention to when the timer gets to around 1:20

I can't speak for the show in San Francisco where MF DOOM was alleged to have sent an imposter in his place to perform, however, I will let it be known that MF DOOM was not in the building at MJQ last Thursday. Instead he sent an imposter in his place and the imposter has a name to! His name is DJ Wesu! My best guess is that Doom pocketed the $5000 I wired him a month before the show in Atlanta while the rest of the loot must have went to those shady ass - fuckers Mobonix, Killa K and Wesu who took the entire door and split with Doom out the back door.

Look at the links to the photos provided below and compare each other and tell me what you really think! It's so obvious! The last 2 images are the most compelling since Wesu and the alleged MF DOOM imposter share the same scar on the right hand.

DOOMbots

His most frequently-used robots are his "Doombots," exact mechanical replicas of the real MF DOOM. They look like him, talk like him, and even act like him.

Individually, Doombots have an advanced A.I. program that causes them to believe themselves to be the real MF DOOM. In order to prevent his duplicates from harming or out-performing him, MF DOOM installs each Doombot with a dampener program that reduces all of its abilities when activated. This program is triggered whenever a Doombot enters MF DOOM's presence or the presence of other Doombots. These imitation Dooms have been created to impersonate MF DOOM when he either cannot be present or is unwilling to risk his own life (such as when confronting powerful foes)

The man is a genius and lives his persona even in real life. . . . . basically he's fukking mental

MF DOOM, the single most interesting character to ever be involved in Hip Hop. Hate it or love it.
