Normally his projects will grow on me over time but this one just barely sounds like the DOOM we all knew to love. To be 100% fair, I haven’t listened to this album nearly as many times as I have the other albums in DOOM’s catalog. “Winter Blues” especially is super smooth and it’s one of the few times where DOOM sounds comfortable rapping on the beat. Some other areas that shine on this project are “Winter Blues” and “Guv’nor”. Mad raw filthy fingers stickin’ dirty money in it / It’s like a sex machine that make bacteria / You like the way she shake her back area / One of the few standout tracks to me was “Wash Your Hands” where the rapper is making a bunch of hilarious statements about going to the club and the filth that resides there. There’s only a handful of occurrences where the two sounds like they’re in sync. Although the production is somewhat fitting to DOOM with the weird sounds and huge variety of instruments, it sounds like DOOM is trying to force his raps to fit the beat. Keys to the Kuffs is the most recent release of MF DOOM with Jneiro Jarel handling the production. What aren’t included on this list are albums where there was a joint effort in the rapping department ( sorry Czarface Meets Metal Face) nor am I including albums where DOOM was mostly responsible for only the production ( sorry NehruvianDoom). It includes all of Daniel’s alter egos, MF DOOM, Viktor Vaughn and King Geedorah. This list isn’t limited to just albums released under the primary MF DOOM moniker. What sets DOOM even further apart is the way he creates alter egos and raps in their shoes to give multiple different voices in his catalog, all while keeping the same dense rhyme patterns.
Similar to the supervillain Doctor Doom who Daniel took inspiration from, they both had something tragic happen to them and kind of re-emerge as a masked figure with a chip on their shoulder. He also has some of the best and well-placed skits of any rapper with most of them being cartoon samples and villainous quotes from Doctor Doom or his enemies.
Whether he’s crafting the beats himself or getting help from others, his production is almost always extremely fitting to the aura he wants to give off in that project.
Saying that, I had to make a list of what I thought were the best MF DOOM albums.ĭaniel finds ways to keep the listener engaged with his rare combination of immensely dense rhyming patterns, hilarious concepts, witty sense of humor, and villainy ideas. Daniel Dumile aka MF DOOM aka Viktor Vaughn aka King Geedorah, is one of my personal favorite rappers of all time and probably one of the most creative rappers I’ve ever heard.
