DOS - PR5U1V3A40-2MM-829357009012 Brand New! Factory Sealed! ----- from New York's Largest Selection of Entertainment Media Since 1976!
This 2xLP package comes housed in an all new exclusive
jacket featuring DOOM's infamous metal mask icon embossed out of a
metallic silver foil. An absolute must have for the DOOM completist. The
long awaited reissue of DOOM's first solo gem, Operation: Doomsday.
Remastered from the original Fondle 'Em 1999 issue. Side A is listed as
''Side Zero''. Side B is ''Side One''. And so forth. Underneath his
mysterious metal mask, MF DOOM hides the cachet underground legends are
made of. After KMD (his first group)'s 1994 sophomore album Bl_ck
B_st_rds was shelved by Elektra in 1994 and his blood brother Subroc
(one half of the sibling rap duo) passed away, surviving frontman Zev
Love X mutated into the MC Avenger known as MF DOOM and the Rap world is
better for it. This 19-cut deep album is ridiculously dope, in a
bizarro Ol' Dirty Bastard kind of way. Doom sounds either high or drunk
on most of the tracks, his self-produced beats are gritty, and his rhyme
styles are almost indecipherable. On arguably the best track, ''Rhymes
Like Dimes,'' Doom weaves some pointed lyrics through his abstract
wordplay, spitting 'only in America could you find a way to earn a
healthy buck / And still keep your attitude on self-destruct.' Who You
Think I Am? features DOOM's crew M.onster I.sland C.zars, while on ''?''
he trades hot verses with former Columbia artist Kurious Jorge. Doom's
avant-garde ghetto-rhyme philosophies take even more intentionally weird
twists on ''Tick, Tick...'' where he and guest MC MF Grimm's flows
warble over a rhythm track whose tempo speeds up and slows down
continually. The comic-book themed skits, will help take you deep into
the mind of an MC who is as otherworldly as they come. And in today's
bland commercial Rap universe, Operation Doomsday's left-of-center beats
and rhymes are the perfect remedy.
