Metal Fingers Presents: Special Herbs Vol. 7 & 8 - Vinyle Bleu

Description

One of hip-hop's most extensive instrumental series, MF DOOM's Special Herbs compiles a monumental collection of beats signed under the alias Metal Fingers. Featuring exclusives and reworked versions of iconic productions – both for himself and others – this anthology perfectly embodies the Super-Villain's sonic universe, blending free experimentation with respect for codes… only to subvert them. With Special Herbs, DOOM establishes his signature: a vision of beatmaking where everything is fodder for sampling. 70s soul/funk classics, 80s R&B, rap nostalgia, excerpts from children's records or TV shows… No genre is excluded from the Metal Fingers laboratory, which transforms eclecticism into raw gold. Far more than a simple compilation of instrumentals, this cult series testifies to DOOM's major impact on independent rap. It reveals another facet of the masked character: that of a sonic alchemist, capable of making past and future converse in an aesthetic as strange as it is familiar.
