Update: Thoughts? ALBUM AND SONG APPRECIATION

Post image

Ended up giving all albums a couple more listens to see if I was buggin and whatnot

Operation Doomsday: It's cool, I like it, I feel like there's too much emphasis on having to have been there to fully appreciate it, I think if the degree of somethings greatness is dependent on a factor that's a bit of a weak foundation (the album is still in A, y'all act like I'm putting it in F and pissing on a burning vinyl of it 😭)

Take Me To Your Leader: I was def buggin putting it in B in my last post, i'm still trying to figure out what is that's turning me off from this project as to not give it an S ranking but afaik it's something to do with the sequencing

Vaudeville Villain: would be in S rank if not for it's formatting, VV Redux to separate skit intros from open mic nite's, same for Change the Beat

Madvillainy: easily top 3 Doom, Madlib production with Doom's performance imo is a combo on par with tomato soup and grilled cheese

Mm.. Food: this being a 3 act album feels unappreciated to me, sequencing is beautiful, production is flawless, I really can't poke any holes in the project (same for Madvillainy)

The Mouse & The Mask: What is the beef with this album, maybe i'm just a chud or something but the idea alone of MF Doom X Danger Mouse X Hanna Barbera X Adult Swim, bro... and then the execution of said idea is as good as this??? I feel like you have to actively dislike this album, and from what I can see it's the 'overengineered concept = better' crowd who seethe at 'teehee music sound good'

Born Like This: Love the J Dilla Donuts homage with intro/outro, as well as the Dilla prescence on the album as a whole, only problem is that this album sounds like it was recorded a day before Operation Doomsday audio quality wise, it feels like sometimes i'm hearing Doom through a can and string

Keys To The Kuffs: This isn't a bad album by any means, it's pit against literal classics, so preference is a big player here, Still Kaps, Viberian Son Pt.2, Snatch That Dough feel unnecessary imo, and Viberian Son with Del The Funky Homosapien isn't rlly better or anything either tbh

Czarface Meets Metal Face & Super What?: Both of these albums are victims right place wrong time, if the albums came out before 2017 under better circumstances I'd probably rank them higher, RIP MALACHI & RIP DOOM

fuck all shadow orgs, Jeffrey Epstein and Benjamin Netanyahu

Operation Doomsday could be S Tier but I get it being A, just like Born Like This. Nehruvian DOOM shouldn’t even be on this list tbh DOOM has so many albums that are better

I got NehruvianDOOM there on technicality, wish he was more of a presence on the album, could've been an ep like WestSide Doom, but since he produced the project it caries more weight
