MF Doom: MM.. Food?

My enjoyment of rap and hip-hop increased ever since I found the DangerDoom album The Mouse & the Mask. Between Doom's rhymes and Danger's mixing, they are a perfect mix. So what kind of stuff does MF Doom come up with on his on? Some damn good work, actually.

Mm..Food? maintains two themes through out the album: On one level, we have a food theme (all songs are food titled, some deal majorly with food-related lyrics), and on the other level, We have a mixed/edited episode of an old Fantastic Four episode featuring Dr. Doom as background filler. The album runs fifteen tracks, coming in just under 50 minutes. And it's a lot of fun.

Hoe Cakes is the tune that brought this album to my attention, and it just has a great beat; Bonus points for a reference to King Koopa. Guinnesses is a great tune, just for the title alone; it's a slower track featuring Angelika, and it just makes you want to lean back into pimp pose. Rapp Snitch Knishes, keeping with the Dr. Doom theme, has Mr. Fantastik as a guest, and has a great sampled guitar riff running in the back.

In the End: This isn't going to appeal to everyone, I know it. But if you want to hear some good rap / hip-hop that isn't offensive but just GOOD, I would strongly suggest this album.
