mf doom question
Just curious what the mass appeal is about doom, i haven't listened to a whole lot from him aside from gas drawls and a couple other tracks off of operation doomsday, but for some reason i guess his shit just hasn't gotten my attention like it does most of you. So what is it exactly that i should check out from him? Is doomsday his best offering or is there some other stuff to check out? Any suggestions would be much appreciated
Re: mf doom question

I guess the appeal for a lot of heads is the fact that KMD were so good. Then he made a comeback which, rather than being some wack shit which is too often the case, was actually better (OK, equally dope).
His diversity in his projects is good too - like Kool Keith with quality control. I like the fact that he's working with other producers now. Vik Vaughn was so sick.

Nobody on here sounds like DOOM now.
Im confused. Did he just totally change his voice?

Not sure if this is really the right forum but...
One of the things I dig about Doom's work is the sense that he really enjoys what he's doing. It's like he just can't help but make music, he just wants to get that shit onto wax, fuck if it sounds polished or professional. If you listen to his beats, particularly the drums, it's like he's playing the sampler, rather than programming it, getting everything lined up perfect. Everything he does has a love of everything that's good about hip hop running through it. His music heavily references the 'golden age', but doesn't sound stuck there. His everyman approach makes him easy to identify with.
And on the voice change, it's not that different between Black Bastards and a lot of the Doomsday tracks, but there's a big difference between Gas Face/Mr Hood, when he sounded a little like Trugoy did at the time, and Madvillain, where his voice is really deep and rough. I do think it's a least a little bit affected, though. I bet he doesn't talk that differently off wax now.
