Vaudeville Villain - Music

Alter Ego Of Rapper Daniel Dumile. Other Alter Egos Include MF DOOM Metal Fingers DOOM And King Geedorah. The Name Viktor Vaughn Comes From Victor Von Doom The Real Name Of Fantastic Four Arch-Enemy Dr. Doom. Doom Stated In The Song 'Doom On Vik' "Vik Is More Cutting Edge Whatever The New Stuff Is Or These New MC's Are Doing. But He Still Appreciates The Old School Art Of Rhyming. So There's Still A Level Of Sincerity To Viktors Stuff But It's Still Younger And Newer You Know What I'm Saying? And He Rhymes Over Whatever Beat It Don't Matter." From Another Interview "Like Viktor He Supposed To Be Like A Younger Cat. Like Maybe A Sophomore In High School Type Shit. So His Whole Attitude Has To Be Different. He's Like More Spontaneous Spunky You Know What I'm Saying? He Got Little Funny Stuff To Say Here And There. It's More From A Younger Guys Perspective. I Had To Really Get Into Character. It Wasn't That Hard Though. It's Just A Matter Of Remembering How It Was Back Then At That Time And Just Capturing That In Lyrics." And Also From Another Interview "Viktor Vaughn Is Like A Bizarro Doom If I Can Use That Expression And Whatnot. He's Like The Doom From Another Dimension. But At The Same Time It's Another Timeline You Know? Doom Is Known To Dabble In Science And Technology Here And There. But Then Vik In His Dimension Technology Might've Been A Little Further Along So He Had Access To Maybe Quantum Mechanics And All That A Little Earlier. He Could Devise A Time Travel Machine So That Now You Got Vik He Ends Up In This Dimension But He's A Little Younger. He's A Nineteen Kinda Eighteen-Year-Old Kinda Hotshot. He's A Know-It-All Kinda Guy. But He's Nice On The Mic Know What I'm Sayin? But He's Still Out Of Place. He's Not Even From Here. But At The Same Time He Got That Vigor That Young Vigor That Makes You Say 'It Don't Matter Like Whatever. Like Well Y'all Rhyme Out Here Too Let's Do It.' Nameen? It's Really Like I Had To Like Make A Vik Just So That I Could Speak For That Other Side. You Know Because That Side Is Valid Too. We All Remember Being Younger And Kinda Wild A Little Rebellious. So I Think That Side Needed A Voice Too." Viktor Vaughn's Debut Album Vaudeville Villain Was Released On Sound-Ink Records September 16 2003.
