His raps are more forced, seemingly rushed whereas the Doom of my youth penned some of the best lines ever spit. I can't really say he's had a single song that'd be a classic aside from his joint off the new Madvillain album (Victory Laps). Hopefully Madlib can help him regain his form.

How far back are you going back when you say "latest releases"? Back to Born Like This or his collaborations with other artists?

If I recall, anticiP doesn't like Born Like This and I disagree with him on that.
Personally I don't think Doom has fallen off. He has his high and low points but I don't think he's gone steadily downhill.

I thought Born Like This was definitely his worst album but it had its strong points (Gazzillion Ear is right up there for my favourite DOOM tracks).

I do think that DOOM has been influenced by his popularity in the sense that he's almost seems to be trying to overdo that "patented" rhyming scheme he has lately, by rhyming everything with everything over and over (even more so than in the past), but I don't mind it because it just sounds awesome and he still makes it work.

I'm gonna have to check out the leaked MF Doom. I listened to him much more a few years ago, and it's been awhile since I listened to him. He always has killer beats and such a unique flow. Sometimes I think he trades lyrics for rhyme schemes but it's a worthy trade-off. Or more likely I don't understand the lingo sometimes.
