MF DOOM - MM..FOOD (20th Anniversary) [2LP] (Sweet Tart 3-Color Marbled Vinyl. new cover art, gatefold)
CAT:RSE400lp-C1
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 album’s subjects.
One of the Top 100 Selling LPs of 2023, MM..FOOD has remained an enduring cultural and commercial success in the two decades since its original release. In celebration, Rhymesayers announces the 20 Year Anniversary Edition of MM..FOOD.
Throughout MM..FOOD, DOOM embeds complex ideas within seemingly simple narratives. Album opener ''Beef Rapp'' is a multi-pronged metaphor reminding listeners of the dangers involved in the glorification of conflict, especially within the rap game. ''Hoe Cakes'' 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, he uses the Madlib-produced ''One Beer'' to fold layers of depth about escapism and ego, while the popular ''Rapp Snitch Knishes'' 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 DOOM’s ability to blend serious themes with his unique, playful lyrical style.
The 20 Year Anniversary Edition of MM..FOOD has completely new artwork by Sam Rodriguez and is pressed on 3-color sweetart marble effect double vinyl. The package includes case wrapped tip-on gatefold jacket and a QR code that takes listeners to a one-of-a-kind AR diner.
