MF DOOM-MM.. Food

I have always been a huge fan of MF DOOM. I found him while listening to the Gorillaz album, Demon Days, on the track November Has Come. Back then I was still struggling a little bit on how to get around in music but I’ve found new ways.

MF DOOM is resident to the fantastic Stones Throw Label where a lot of good hip hop and funk is being concocted. For those of you who didn’t know him before, DOOM wears a mask that was based of the mask in the movie Gladiator to represent that all races and creed can listen to his music…the all races thing really has nothing to do with Gladiator. He has many names, including King Geedorah and Viktor Vaughn and has collaborated under many other names. This was DOOM’s comeback album after his album Operation: Doomsday. DOOM’s style is unlike anything heard on popular radio. He uses metaphors that stretch across, in this case, his whole album to get across serious points in a humorous manner. For example in one of his songs, Kookies, the whole time through he talks about nothing but jacking off to internet porn while his girlfriend is sleeping in the bed next to him but if you don’t listen carefully all you will hear is a man ordering cookies. Then again, he does not have the most straight forward lyrics so one does have to listen a little harder than most, but that’s ok, his rhymes are just as entertaining on the surface. This was a great album that was rereleased a couple years ago so go out and find it, it shouldn’t be that hard at all.

Suggested Tracks: Deep Fried Frenz, Poo Putt Platter
