Hey josh, I thought you were talking about me and I was all ready to be like "YOU BITCH, I have Operation Doomsday on vinyl and a homemade shirt that says 'I'm at where your sister went'!". And then I realized that I reviewed Viktor Vaughn and not King Geedorah. To be technical, MF Doom raps on, what, five songs on KG? Fazers and The Fine Print are far and away the standouts and Dumile's verse on 'Anti-Matter' is the toughest thing to come out this year, I think. "Doom with the hog's leg, straight up, New Yorkin'"

But the new "Vaudeville Villain" album is his best overall. It has one of the best great:crap lyric ratios in recent memory. Tons of quotables. Best hip-hop album of 2003.

i haven't really liked anything he's done since Operation:Doomsday (which was my favourite shit in the world in 99/00) cos it all sounds too hi-fi compared to that. guess this new one isn't gonna change that? :(

king geedorah and mmm food were mostly self produced and therefore also his best albums.
― Yellow Carded (titchyschneiderMk2), Tuesday, 31 March 2009 09:05 (fifteen years ago) link
mmm food peters out towards the end though, but yeah, side 1 is killer. i think king geedorah is my favourite doom, overall.
― A bacon desert? Anything is possible. (stevie), Tuesday, 31 March 2009 10:08 (fifteen years ago) link
i never liked the vv albums cos the beats were boring/too standard underground rap. madvillainy worked cos madlibs beats are kinda undernourished/crumbling too though doom just has an altogether more dilapidated approach to beats which is why his own self produced material works best.
ive a feeling anyone expecting BLT to be like the first taste of a whole new wave of new doom projects is gonna be let down. i dont think doom is really coming back, hes just getting a bit of pocket money.
― Yellow Carded (titchyschneiderMk2), Tuesday, 31 March 2009 10:15 (fifteen years ago) link
Unfortunately I think ^^^ is totally OTM. The Doom of 2002, 2003 is gone for good it seems. I'm halfway through my first listen of Born Like This and liking it pretty well so far. My only complaint, and a very minor one at that, is that there seems to be more vocal samples of him talking in silly voices than direct rips from TV shows and comics. I mean, those are still there too, but in less amounts than I really like. His flow on "Gazillion Ear" is crazy good though.

I dunno really. If that was the case, wouldn't "The Missing Notebook Rhymes" have been more substantial? One of them was JJ DOOM's "Pause Tape" with JJ's verse lopped off. And the trouble that project caused with people DOOM owed music to.
A lot of people feeling like there's gonna be a Madvillainy sequel but I'd be kinda surprised to see it.

Did he? There was all this noise about how it's "85% done" (which has been the case for like a decade) and something about DOOM's manager giving his blessing. At the moment Stones Throw can sell as much of the original as they print. I have no doubt they'll get around to some new Madvillain product but I think it's more likely to be a collection of mostly already-released stray tracks or an EP of the ones that didn't get an official release yet. It's hard to imagine there's a lot that hasn't gotten any airing at all yet (or doesn't contain verses that ended up on another thing). But then 25 minute albums are a thing now.
― maf you one two (maffew12), Friday, 7 May 2021 14:26 (three years ago) link

yeah my sense is theres probably a lot of unreleased/half-finished music around and not a lot of consensus about who owns it

seems complicated but partially because paperwork was too expensive/never filed when he was a kid, and then a buncha stuff never went through as it should've when he was an adult, plus he kept getting arrested, seems pretty kafkaesque
