DOOM’s most prolific period came during a time when hip-hop was fully integrating into the mainstream, but he remained too weird to ever have a proper crossover moment. But from a bird’s eye view, his vision always comes into focus, like an art house film that dazzles yet requires repeat viewings to fully appreciate its complexity. The narratives in his songs betray this technique, often sounding disjointed and sometimes difficult to follow. A concept album drawing on samples from sources as obvious as Godzilla movies (specifically 'Kaij Daisens,' titled 'Invasion of Astro-Monster' for English release) to those as obscure as the closing theme from the original Gatchaman anime. Ever since 99’s Operation: Doomsday, he has rewritten the criterion. Given how prolific he is, it really is astounding that he has kept his work at such a high level. When writing to a beat, he would pull pieces from its pages, assembling dazzling word collages. King Geedorah was an MF DOOM side project. One could make a compelling argument that MF Doom is the best in the world right now. When Ta-Nehisi Coates profiled him for The New Yorker in 2009, he had the privilege of sifting through his rhyme book, finding disjointed couplets and haphazardly recorded sketches, like puzzle pieces still waiting to be conjoined. King Geedorah, of course, drops absurd rhymes on Fazers, he rhymes knee-drop with ZZ Top mere moments before making a Sussudio reference. He approached his work as a producer in a similar way, assembling various sampled loops and clips ripped from VHS tapes into beats, preferring to leave them mostly intact, offering a roadmap into the influences that formed his psyche.

He was a collage artist of sorts, absorbing pieces of ephemera from his life and youth, collecting them in the form of scattered rhymes in notebooks. 12 rigid-board gatefold sleeve with wide spine (6mm) - cream uncoated board with burgundy foil artwork. A “writer’s writer,” DOOM had a distinctive style defined by wildly inventive single-syllable rhymes that rewrote the rules of rap. But despite the controversy behind his reclusivity and use of proxies, his talent as a lyricist is unquestioned.
