MM..Food - Exclusive Limited Edition Pink & Green Colored 2x Vinyl LP

I found MF Doom by way of Gorillaz. From there, I moved on to The Mouse and the Mask. Then, I kind of stopped, on account of his schizophrenic cast of monickers. Eventually, I decided to go to the extended efforts required to pick up this record. I'm glad I did. This CD is, in every way, an appropriate companion to The Mouse and the Mask. Doom's flow is conversational and complex, there are very few hook-verse-hook structures on the record, most of the tracks clock in at around two minutes--it's typical Doom (or typical new Doom, if you're in the same school as some of the other reviewers). I like that. If you like it, you'll like this. Simple decision. If you're not so familiar with Doom and looking at this as a first record, that's certainly a decent idea in theory. The fact that you can't find it for less than $50 these days (thanks, Stan Lee) is a bit of a deterrent, but if you can get your hands on it, by all means, this is one of the more user-friendly introductions to MF Doom you can find (Madvillain, while impressive in its own way, REALLY comes off as only so much disjointed noise the first couple of times through--this record, on the other hand, at least splits into discernible tracks). From a purely budgetary perspective, though, I'd have to recommend The Mouse and the Mask as a more affordable starter if you haven't hit it already. If you're already a Doom fan, you probably have this already and I'm not entirely sure why you're reading this. I will say that I don't find much fault with either the production or the skit interlude (which is pretty catchy, in my opinion, and basically just acts like a long instrumental track in the right spot on the album). Dedicated fans need feel no trepidation. Folks who are only familiar with Operation: Doomsday, however, should be aware that this is a very different album. Superior, as far as I'm concerned, but different for sure. The creative production is still there, but the structure on each track is a lot less mundane than what you find on his first album (under this name, anyway). If you're expecting typical verse-chorus-verse, you might be disappointed.

Very good, arrived 5 days early.

It’s a CD. It plays in a CD player.

reviewing the cd, you already know you like the music. one of the best cds i've seen. tons of really cool art they didn't need to put in there, and it comes with a whole dvd i wasn't even expecting, there are 2 discs. definitely worth it for any doom fan.

DOOM is one of the goats of rap and music in general. If you’re a fan of him or any kinda rap this album is an essential. The music is unique and a masterclass in production+it also comes with a DVD that’s over an hour long of concert footage and whatnot. Amazing album and an amazing deal for only $15.

MM..Food? is not an album for everybody. It is weird, quirky, and very tongue in cheek. Half of the album consists of DOOM rapping over, what I consider to be, some of his tightest beats. His sample game is certainly on point on this album with samples ranging from Stetsasonic on the track Kookies to Sade for the track Kon Karne. At this point in his career he seemed to revel in his tracks being both recognizable for their samples and unique for their layers and his cartoonish lyrics. The other half of the album is quite possibly one of the oddest run of tracks on a hip hop album. They are basically beats in the style of the special herbs series with layer on top of layer of oddball television samples ranging from sesame street to infomercials about edible wrappers. It is both hilarious and clever. As someone who likes to fool around with a sampler in his spare time, I can only imagine how long it took to layer all of those samples, let alone find them. Combining these tracks with the vocal cuts makes for an off the wall album that never takes itself too seriously. To me this album stands alongside Madvillainy and Born Like This as one of DOOM's top works. If you like goofy underground hip hop, super heroes, or slick sample driven instrumentals you should check this album out. Favorite Tracks -Beef Rap -Fig Leaf Bi-Carbonate -Vomitspit

The CD case was cracked on both sides when it arrived. Other than that, CD was in perfect condition and played fine.

Even though MM..Food was a re-release, it's still the undisputed greatest album of 2007. What'd you say? What about Kanye's Graduation? Here you have two rapper/producers who's technique is somewhat similar, so naturally I gotta give it up to the more raw of the two, and that my friend is MM..Food (change the letters around, it spells MF..DOOM, lol) DOOM maintains the same comic book themed skits and comes with samples the average listener has probably never thought of making a beat made out of. Looped the intro of Anita Baker's 'Sweet Love' with a human beatbox behind it and of course another loop from my favorite Sade track 'Is It a Crime'. See if you can indentify the rest cuz he really dug through his LP's for this one. Not to mention he's @ his lyrical peak on every track and rarely falls short with the wordplay. Yall might think I'm big'n up this album too much, nope, it's that good. Especially after being drowned in fraud mainstream dopeboys who throw tracks together just for a damn paycheck. This is about as potent as raw hip hop can get. MM..Food For Thought, make yourself a plate.

Awesome find and a great collectors item

Excellent album- arrived fast

The vinyl it self is amazing but there is only one thing that is so annoying is that hoe cakes skips for most of the song and I’ve tried to see if there are any scratches and there are not and I’ve gave it a deep clean

Todo en excelente calidad, una pieza que no podía faltar en mi colección.
