In celebration of the albumâs 20th anniversary, MM..FOOD has been repackaged with all new artwork by Sam Rodriguez!
Originally released in 2004, MF DOOM's MM..FOOD is hailed as a classic hip-hop album full of inventive production, remarkable wordplay, and unique themes. Celebrated for its seamless blend of humor, wit, and social commentary, the album ushers listeners into a bizarre world of food-related metaphors, painting a bitterly comedic portrait of a life tainted by vice, violence, and jealousy. It was a brilliant and novel concept that gave DOOM plenty of room to explore the albumâs subjects.
Throughout MM..FOOD, DOOM embeds complex ideas within seemingly simple narratives. Album opener âBeef Rappâ is a multi-pronged metaphor reminding listeners of the dangers involved in the glorification of conflict, especially within the rap game. âHoe Cakesâ borrows its name from the sweet, hot water cornmeal patties, which he uses as a symbol to rhyme about indulgence and excess. Continuing the motif, DOOM uses the Madlib-produced âOne Beerâ to fold layers of depth about escapism and ego, while the popular âRapp Snitch Knishesâ critiques the self-incrimination and contradictory behaviors of some rappers. Overall, MM..FOOD is both a social commentary and a piece of social satire, showcasing MF DOOMâs ability to blend serious themes with his unique, playful lyrical style.
