Doomposter

I thought we had gotten past this. Middle of last year, we heard reports of Doom sending body doubles to lip synch shows in San Francisco (and skipping Rock the Bells altogether).
So, figuring he'd know he was caught and would finally return to stage, I bought a ticket to his new years' eve show in Los Angeles---BIG mistake.
This guy -- NOT Doom -- came out, lip synched a weak 20-minute set, then bounced. Anyone who's seen a live Doom performance knows the experience; it couldn't be mistaken for any other.
Now, I've come to find out he did the same thing in Atlanta a few weeks earlier, only in a much smaller venue, which killed the illusion.

Case in point, check out this photo from the Atlanta show:


Now, in case you forgot, Doom doesn't look like this. He looks like this:



Here's the guy in the first picture (note the scar on his hand)


His name's DJ Wesu, a close associate of MF Doom.
We come to find out from interviews with the likes of C Rayz Walz and John Robinson (on 1/4/08 with UGHH) that Doom is doing all this in promotion of his new project, "Doompostor." If you recall, Dumile once remarked that whoever's in the mask is Doom.

Now, is this a fair trick for the sake of viral promotion, or is he just screwing everyone who pays 30 bucks to see him?
