Born Like This is the sixth and final solo studio album by British-American rapper/producer MF Doom.

[1] In addition to tracks produced by MF Doom, the album includes production by frequent collaborator Madlib, as well as J Dilla.

The album title is borrowed from Charles Bukowski's poem "Dinosauria, We", which employs it as a cadence.

The track "Cellz" opens with a sampled recording of Bukowski reading the poem.

[15] Sample credits and additional notes The album cover shows a MF DOOM mask looking at a stone with text that decodes to “Doom born like this, dying because of this” in the English language.
