The Minions of Death are the main antagonists of the late hip-hop legend MF DOOM's music video for his iconic song, ALL CAPS. They are a malevolent group of gangsters who pursue a pair of scientists after the latter are involved in a freak lab accident that gives the two extraordinary strength, presumably to gain the powers for themselves.
Biography[]
The video for "All Caps", directed and animated by James Reitano for TFU Studios, is in the form of an animated Silver Age comic book. It begins with two scientists in a lab experimenting with chemicals. Their work goes awry when a mixture fills the lab with gas, and the scientists, locked in by a supposed security guard, begin to mutate. One grows into a huge man-monster called "Madvillain" and dons an MF Doom mask while the other shrinks into a purple alien-like creature with telepathic powers, which represents the artist Madlib. He is encased in a golden casket-like case, and they both manage to escape the lab. The "title page" then appears, along with a seal bearing Stan Lee's and Jack Kirby's names, and Madvillain, now wearing a suit with a green trenchcoat and brown hat, carries the golden case until he is confronted by a gang of men in suits called "The Minions of Death." They seem to be after the golden case, but the man-monster doesn't surrender it without a fight. Using a laser rifle, the Minions manage to capture the golden case and subdue Madvillain. Back at their hideout, the Minions demand Madvillain to open the case by force. The alien scientist awakens, and the man-monster hears his thoughts, giving him a boost of energy to let them both escape the hideout. The video ends with a high-speed chase in the mountains with the Minions pursuing the mutated scientists. After they fire a few shots, the alien tells the man-monster to speed up. In a cliffhanger ending, the last "page" reads, "WILL MADVILLAIN SURVIVE THE MINIONS OF DEATH? CHECK BACK NEXT TIME, PILGRIMS!"
