BBC COLLECTIVE
By anybody's standards, underground hip-hop veteran MF Doom is on
one hell of a roll right now

Album Description
Rhymesayers re-release MM..FOOD, MF DOOM's follow-up to the groundbreaking Operation: Doomsday.

About the Artist
In 1998 Zev Love X of the seminal rap group KMD re-emerged as a masked suoer villain known as MF DOOM. The following year he released the ground-breaking independent classic Operation Doomsday. DOOM only added to the mystery by creating multiple aliases (King Geedorah, Vicotor Vaughn, etc.) and taking a no hold bars approach to his musical career. With collaborative side projects with Madlib (Madvillain) and most recently DANGERDOOM with Danger Mouse, MM..FOOD marks the super villain's long awaited follow up to Operation: Doomsday. Originally released November 2004 MM..FOOD has been out of print for close to two years.

While copies of MM.FOOD have regularly been selling in the $100 range on sites like e-bay, it's now back with a special dual package including a live performance DVD. After its original release DOOM embarked on an 8 city release party tour called the MM..FOOD Drive Tour. The performances doubled as Food Drives for each stop of the tour. Fans were encouraged to bring canned goods to the show. At the end of the tour over 1,000 pounds (in weight) was donated to various local food shelves.

With over an hour of liver performances and behind the scenes footage this special edition of MM..FOOD provides a rare look at the mysterious metal fingers super villain MF DOOM. A must for every MF DOOM fan.

Customer Reviews

MM DOOM
Iv jst bought this album today and i love it every song is good,really pleased with this album and it comes with an extra dvd/poster/and sticker no use in the poster but iv but the sticker straight up on my wardrob but i bought it for the album CLASSIC.

Wow
True Hip Hop! MF Doom gives us some amazing tracks on this LP. The opener, Beef Rapp is a great track, Doom gives us some quality lyrics and i love the beat! Next comes the best song on the album, Hoecakes. The beat is amazing! It's one of my fave instrumentals, and MF kills it with great lyrics! I think the next stand out is One Beer, which is a great track with some witty and intelligent lyrics from Doom.

The whole of the first half of the album is classic material, however i think it slightly, only slightly (Not even enough to lose a star), diminishes in quality in the second half, but still thouroghly enjoyable!

MF Doom, should be much bigger!

And the DVD is quality to!

MF Doom is hip hop
Originally released in 2004 but deleted for the best part of two years, the re-release of Mm... Food is extremely welcome.

Perhaps MF Doom's finest record, it's an album with no pretence that harks back to the days when hip hop artists were interested in earning respect for their skills alone ("It's about the beats / not about the streets and whose food he about to eat").

"Operation Doomsday complete" we hear during the opening sound collage, away from his space quest laser fest as King Geddorah and the dysfunctional gangsta whimsy of Victor Vaughn, here Doom wants nothing more than to score some clever points with quirky one-liners over tight beats: the two foundations that hip hop was originally built upon.

There are only four guests invited to contribute lyrically, Count Bass D, Angelika, 4ize and Mr. Fantastik. The little-known Mr Fantastik delivers some incredible lyircs on Rapp Snitch Knishes ("true to the ski mask, New York's my origin / play a fake gangster like an old accordion"), while Count Bass D's lines on Potholderz are easily the equal of Doom's ("I strive to be humble lest I stumble / Never sold a jumbo or copped chicken wings in mumbo sauce / Tyson is a Fowl holocaust"). Sadly, Angelika and 4ize struggle to match the same standard on the album's one tepid track, Guinnesses.

The four-track intermission - Poo-Putt Platter, Fillet-O-Rapper, Gumbo and Figleaf-Bi-Carbonate - contains clips of TV, radio chopped up over exquisitely sliced beats and samples. It's the classic hip hop collage, but rarely is it done this well. Dumping four sound collage skits back-to-back in the middle of the album is a daring move and only someone as creative as Doom could pull it off. It's clear that Doom learned his proficiency with skit arrangements from Prince Paul, but Doom is now the master.

With the exception of the Madlib-produced Madvillainy left-over, One Beer, and the PNS-produced Yee Haw - here recorded as Kon Queso - and Potholderz, Doom controls all the production on Mm Food. The stuttery Count Bass D production on Potholderz darts back and forth over a phenomenal bass line. The 70s Blue Note funk on Vomitspit is up there with Doom's finest production work, and turning the Whodini sample on Deep Friend Frenz from a feel-good song into a bitter tale of betrayal is inspired ("You could either ignore this advice, or take it from me / Be too nice and people take you for a dummy").

The scratch and sniff packaging, live DVD, stickers and Burlesque Design poster make this an unmissable purchase, even if you picked it up when it was released initially. Doom describes himself as "On his own thrown, the boss like King Koopa." He could have described himself more simply, for MF Doom simply is hip hop.
