Lupe Fiasco also reacted to the news on Twitter last night (31 December), writing, "To whom it may concern: I ask and propose that from this point forward all rappers from everywhere and from every style and every level in the craft refer to "Similes" as "Dumiles" Pronounced "Doom-ah-lays". A small gesture for a fallen master. MF DOOM. Can I get a 2nd?"
