Operation: Doomsday

Description

Beneath his mysterious metal mask, MF DOOM conceals the essence that legends of the underground are made of. After the album Black Bastards by his first group, KMD, was shelved by Elektra in 1994, and the death of his blood brother Subroc - half of the rap duo - Zev Love X, the surviving leader, slowly transformed into the supervillain MC known as MF DOOM, and the rap world is all the better for it. The release of Operation: Doomsday in 1999 marks the official debut of MF DOOM, reintroducing a mysterious character who would soon become one of the greatest voices in underground rap. With its 19 tracks, Operation: Doomsday reveals the confluence of DOOM's tragic past, his personal interests, and his bold creativity. His clever rhymes and remarkable schemes stand out from the landscape, and every sound he touches - from cartoon themes to 80s soul, to rap classics and more - is reinterpreted into something entirely new and surreal. Decades later, MF DOOM is still celebrated for all facets of his work and influence. In the face of tragedy, DOOM re-entered the rap game on his own terms and created an instant cult classic. Operation: Doomsday shows how powerful it can be to bet on oneself against all odds. Pressed on double vinyl.
