Spitting mercilessly across the board is the figure of the masked villain once again. Once again, we find ourselves in the world of crisp yet dusty beats. The problem here is that nearly all of DOOM’s top albums truly check all the boxes. If you put this album at #3, you are guaranteed to catch a few tomatoes on your way off the stage. There’s plenty to unpack, but if you sit down and shut up, Viktor Vaughn will lay it all out for you in his own time. Offering up a more dangerous side of the artist, this trip of an album deserves a solid listen. Appearing under his moniker Viktor Vaughn to deliver this particular project, we are introduced to a character who is less concerned with the listener, and more focused on what he has to say. Featuring some of the rapper’s hardest verses, the instrumentals are frantic and engaging at the same time. Coming in years and years after some of his more timeless works, DOOM came to remind the game and everyone in it that his talent and cunning wordplay were here to stay.Ĭheck out That’s That for a true classic MF DOOMīeginning with the signature oldies audio clip intro, we are once again sucked into the story of a villain out to prove himself- and destroy anyone who dares get in his way. While hardcore fans may recognize re-used instrumentals in parts or may find themselves slightly turned off by questionable lyrics (looking at you, “Batty Boyz”), this album was once again a solid release by the masked artist. Unconventional but well-engineered, you won’t find boring moments anywhere during the 46 minutes run time. This installment in the discography may not land itself in anyone’s top 3, but for what it is, this album deserves a shout for the color and variety that it brought to DOOM’s discography. Plenty of other members join the cast of this show-turned-album like Talib Kweli, Ghostface, and even Cee-Lo himself. Zany raps, numerous Adult Swim interludes, and catchy production. When Dangerous Mouse and MF DOOM combined forces, the result was about what you would expect. While not quite iconic in its own right, this treat of a project was an incredible surprise from a group of artists reaching their creative apex. Having combined their strengths, this album showcases a few weaknesses. It may not sound exactly like a MF DOOM record, but his influence is apparent throughout. Stretching his legs next to Czarface (the underground group consisting of Boston mainstays, 7L and Esoteric, alongside Wu Tang’s Inspectah Deck), 2018 brought this quality collaboration onto everyone’s radar. While his list of solo albums may not be incredibly long, his actual output over the years has been solid. Funky, loose beats lay a soundscape for the cast of the album, and it’s a listen worthy of your time! #9: Keys to the Kuffs (2012) While feeling a little less cohesive as compared to other projects under his belt, when it works it works well. Offloading plenty of verses to other vocalists on the album, the process that these tracks went through to be compiled and dropped may have taken a toll. In some spots throughout this 2004 release, you hear what might be his soul spread a little too thin. MF DOOM has such a wide-ranging catalog that you can truly find his soul scattered throughout it. Painted by CP WON #10: Venomous Villain (2004) Let’s dive right, into the world of America’s Most Blunted. There won’t be another like him, but his mark on music will be here forever in the DNA of hip hop as we know it. A figure shrouded in mystery but defined by his talent, Daniel Dumile left a void in the game when he left. With the tragic announcement of MF DOOM’s passing, it was only fitting that we look back at his iconic albums, the records that he will forever be remembered for.
