Wolstenholme concluded the inquest with a narrative verdict that touched on a number of issues highlighted by Thompson’s wife and her legal team. Afterwards, the Leeds teaching hospitals NHS trust issued an apology. Dr Hamish McLure, its chief medical officer, said: “I would like to offer our sincere condolences to Daniel’s family, friends and fans at this difficult time. I apologise that the care he received was not to the standard we would expect. In a tribute to the hip-hop legend MF DOOM, streetwear titan Supreme is gearing up to release a specially-curated collection. This collaboration with the late rapper's estate forms part of the brand's Fall/Winter 2023 Week 3 drop and is set to release on September 7. For those familiar with the unparalleled creativity and mystique that defined MF DOOM’s life and career, the Supreme x MF DOOM Collection serves as both an homage and a collector's must-have.

The musician, who had several medical conditions including kidney failure, type 2 diabetes, heart failure and hepatitis B, underwent kidney dialysis in Leeds in July 2020. In 2004, under the name MF DOOM, he released MM.. FOOD—an anagram of M.F. DOOM. His next solo album, Born Like This, mostly fell under the radar, but is still beloved by fans. It spawned multiple classic songs, such as “Gazzillion Ear,” “Ballskin, ” and the lyrically-inclined “That’s That.” DOOM then received critical acclaim for his 2004 collaboration with producer Madlib, titled Madvillainy. With a 93/100 score on Metacritic and praise from hip-hop legends, Madvillainy is known as one of the best rap albums of all time. DOOM told an interviewer why he likes collaborations: The London-born rapper, one of hip-hop’s most distinctive MCs and producers, who was part of the American hip-hop duo Madvillain alongside Madlib, died at St James’s hospital in Leeds.The idea of having different characters is really to get the storyline across. The idea of having one different character all the time, to me, makes – to me – the story boring… So the more, the better with me. This way I could come from one point of view, another point of view. They might even disagree on certain things. I think a lot of times, especially in hip-hop, artists get pigeonholed into being, ‘You’re the guy.’ It’s kind of limiting in a way. I look at it like I’m the writer. Same way with the skits. Have the record tell the story But the collection isn’t merely a rehashing of old designs; it’s a finely tuned fusion of streetwear and rap culture. The beanie, for instance, showcases a co-branded Supreme and MF DOOM logo, encapsulating the synergy between the rapper's indelible legacy and Supreme's streetwear aesthetic. Yeah and for the record I didn’t get the idea from [Doctor Doom]… [laughs]. I been Doom ever since I was born, my momma call me Doom so…

The assistant coroner Janine Wolstenholme said a care plan drawn up in hospital was not sufficiently detailed and that doctors were given a “false reassurance” about the musician’s condition when his health appeared to improve.Using his JJ DOOM collaboration album as an example, DOOM explained the process behind his iconic, obscure TV dialogue samples and skits: The inquest heard he had registered with a new GP in the city and doctors had been unable to access his previous medical notes because of concerns about data protection. The collaboration is much more than apparel; it’s a cultural moment. With Supreme's commitment to quality and MF DOOM's timeless influence on music, the collection promises to be a tangible link to a legend who left us far too soon. The drop is highly anticipated as a fashion statement and a salute to one of rap’s most virtuoso authors and mysterious figures. What I usually do when I’m producing a record, I’ll come up with the beat first, and then the beat will inspire the lyrics, you know what I’m sayin'? […] I heard the loop first, cut the loop, put the drums to it, polish it up with the 808s, but I don’t really over-do it too much. I like to try to keep it as close to the original as possible. Leave something for the imagination, but enough to get the translation across. Then just write to it, keep it simple. His condition appeared to improve but then suddenly deteriorated and he collapsed. Thompson, who had six children, was put on a ventilator and died on 31 October.
