#358 MF Doom - Operation Doomsday

I've heard just about everything Doom/VV/KG/etc. has done, but never did hear his debut solo album. Weird no? Heard on the way to drop stuff at the parents' cabin.

The whole blueprint for the MF Doom scene is here, with all the (mostly annoying) fantastic four samples, the supervillian theme and the complex, foldedinupon rhymes. Across the board, it isn't as solid as Vaudville Villian, The Mouse and The Mask, or even Mmm Food, but this album does feature some of Doom's fastest, most incendiary rhymes, exploding off the tape where most of his songs smolder. That alone makes it definitively worth hearing, and yet another essential part of his repertoire 4/5

You might like this if: you like Doom. If you like rhymes that run double time and twist wrist and find fun up in they own bum.
