MF Doom - MM..Food?

$17.98 (list price), Hip-Hop, Rhymesayers

Basic Story: Hip-Hop’s most prolific masked rapper gets the reissue treatment for his acclaimed 2004 release, ‘MM..Food?’ now packaged with a DVD of live performances.

Sample: “Doom was always known to keep the best girls backs bent/ some say it’s the eyes/ some say the accent/ a lot of guys wonder where they stacks went.”

Verdict: Today, MF Doom has proven himself as a top hip-hop contender. This reissue, however, takes us back to a man still trying (and succeeding) to make a name for himself. The appropriately titled album’s track list reads like a deranged restaurant menu where even the most disgusting items (‘Vomitspit’) go down easy. In a genre that seems to have fallen short lately in originality, there is no better time for this album to have been made available again. Super.
