MF DOOM's first and greatest project. It's the story of a man who lost his brother and was betrayed by an industry returning to wreak havoc upon the world. It's the perfect mix of reality and fiction; from life growing up poor and witnessing tragedy on tracks like The Finest and Red and Gold to a comic book supervillain losing and vowing to get revenge on Hero v.s. Villan. The production, sampling, wordplay and flow are all amazing. Tracks like Gas Drawls are some of DOOM's ... read more
Love the production but what are these vocals man 😭 better lyrics and less repetition would make this great
Not as good as it used to sound. It feels like it's trying a bit too hard to be mysterious and edgy.

My second favorite album of all time. The lyricism and production on this album are so unique and fun; it's a very youthful album. There's not much to say about Vaudeville Villan that I haven't already said about his other albums, but that isn't a bad thing considering the quality of his work.
I love this album. Tracks like Fastlane are some of the most beautiful hip-hop songs I have ever heard. The production is some of DOOM's best, with creative samples and smooth beats. The features here are amazing, with the exception of Krazy World. (Why would you give that amazing beat to someone for a just okay verse?) The song Fazers may be the best album intro of all time, if not top three. All hail King Gheedorah!
One of my first albums I ever got into. MMMM isn't the greatest album of all time based on lyricism, storytelling, or production, but it's the greatest silly album of all time. However, among the silliness you occasionally get something extremely deep like Ruler of Everything that does fit into those categories. Amazing album, but it has its issues. For example, some of the lyrics feel a bit corny, even for an album as silly as this one. Thanks Tally Hall for making my first favorite ... read more
