"MM.. Food" by MF Doom (2004)
CLASSIC ALBUM OF THE WEEK
MF Doom "MM.. Food"  2004 (USA)
Often described as "your favorite rapper's favorite rapper", Metal Face Doom (Daniel Dumille) passed away in late 2020, though the news was just released this week. A resolutely underground oddball with an incredible ear for obscure samples, Doom was never pictured without his trademark metal face mask - for he was a "villain rapper." Villain rap was a satirical take on the "gangsta rap" style that blew up in the early 1990's - those other rappers acted baaad, but villains make plans to rule the world! This style arguably began in 1994 with the little-remembered supergroup Gravediggaz which included Prince Paul (De La Soul) and RZA (Wu-Tang Clan), but the breakout hit from the villain scene was Kool Keith's surrealistic alter ego Dr. Octagon. However, those guys only played cartoon bad guys some of the time, whereas MF Doom was never out of character. My favorite MF Doom record is this 2004 concept album about food (and taking over the world). Before he became Doom, Dumille was in a group called KMD where he used the name Zed Love X - here he is in 1988 without the mask on making a guest appearance with 3rd Bass (2:45 into the video).
