I have a very difficult time understanding people who say they don't like MF DOOM. Are they serious? There are very few, if any MC's as clever and consistent as Daniel Dumile. His word-play and flow is virtually unmatched. I defy anyone to kick back, smoke one, and listen to these three fat-ass albums below, then come back and tell me they don't dig Doom. The cat's got it. Some of my all time favorite lines have been uttered by this bad mutha.
First up is 'Black Bastards', KMD's second release that was unfortunately held back by Elektra and not released untill 2001 (7 Years after it's creation). It's a damn shame, because this gem is a straight up Golden Age Classic. I am positive that if this beast was released when it was suppossed to be back in '94, 'Black Bastards' would've recieved proper recognition and status. This bad boy deserves to be mentioned along with 'Hard To Earn', 'Street Level', 'The Sun Rises In The East', 'Return Of The Boom Bap', and other 93-95 Classic Golden Age joints.
Following the nearly flawless 'Black Bastards' is 'VaudeVille Villian', Doom's first and definitely finest release under his Viktor Vaughn moniker. Like it's predecessor, this album is nearly perfect. There are very few Artists in any genre that pump out albums in which I don't need to skip any tracks. Especially in the Hip Hop World. I think between these two albums there is a total of 3 or 4 tracks that I skip. If for some reason you have avoided Doom, or perhaps didn't hear these jams under the right conditions, do yourself a favor and cop these gems.
Finally, it's my favorite MF DOOM mix. There are like millions of these various 'Best of MF DOOM' mixes floating around in cyberspace. However, this one is definitely tops. DJ Foodstamp's got mad skills, and this mega-watt fresh 'Best of MF DOOM' mix courtesy of UndergroundHipHop.Com is the unimpeachable gangster shit, Smoothly blended for your listening pleasure. This is a perfect Doom sampler for the uneducated.
If you have yet to hear this hot butter, I commandeth- GRAB IT NOW! I mean Damn! Examine the track list. You just can't fuck with mix. Peace out...
