special herbs: MF DOOM is one of the best mc/producers in hip hop right now, the man is consistantly dropping fresh material which is rare in this genre these days. So it was really no suprise that this CD quickly became one of my favorite instrumental albums from the 1st listen. There aren't any beats on this disc I wasn't feelin. Pick this up if you like good instrumentals. Also to you DOOM fans that don't know, Viktor Vaughn 2 Venomous Villian is supposed to drop August of this year.
Metal Fingers (MF Doom) Masterpiece: MF Doom has done it again as his production alter-ego Metal Fingers. This album rates at the top of my list with instrumental albums, along with Pete Rock's Petestrumentals and Jay Dee's Vintage. It has a extremely 70's feel throughout the whole album and leaves you with sort of a retro Herbie Hancock-esque (circa Headhunters) feel. You can clearly see on the song 'Dragon's Blood' Metal Fingers favors the comic book world with his sample from the 1960's Spiderman cartoon. 'Myrtle Leaf' is one of the best tracks on this album easily leaving your head bobbing and repeatedly pressing the Back button on your CD player. MF Doom is one of underground Hip-Hop's hardest working producers/MC's and geniusly exhibits his talent on Special Herbs Vol. 5&6.
