Mm..Food is the fifth studio album by British-American rapper and producer MF Doom, released through Rhymesayers on 16 November, 2004. The title Mm..Food is an anagram of "MF Doom". MF Doom described Mm..Food as a concept album "about the things you find on a picnic, or at a picnic table". The album's titles and lyrics contain references to different foods, some with common metaphors and double entendres in the "street world" and the "nutritional realm". The album cover's art director was Jeff Jank, and painting by Jason Jagel. The original painting included a blunt that was later edited out. Pitchfork's Nick Sylvester called Mm..Food "an attempt to make good on Doom's almost fascist conceit to restore rap's golden age despite its loss of innocence." In 2012, Stereogum named it the best MF Doom album. In 2015, NME named it "one of the 23 maddest and most memorable concept albums."
2004 was a good year, and this was one of the best things about it.
The appetizers and entrees here are expectedly delicious, but it really is the special recipes that shows off what makes DOOM special not as a rapper, but as a unique producer. God I'm so fucking hungry whenever I listen to this.
Very cool, interesting jazz/funk music. The super heroes/villain inserts work well to bins together the concept into a cohesive whole, but are also a bit annoying! Overall I enjoyed it.
Not listed to much DOOM before, but this was great, will listen some more.
Never going to say anything negative about MFD
Rating: 9/10 Best songs: Beef rap, Hoe cakes, Potholderz, Deep fried frenz, Kon karne, One beer, Rap snitch knishes, Vomitspit
Always down with some St. DOOM. This is pretty much pure fun.
4 Finally some good use of samples in hip-hop. Not just a shit 5 second loop played for 5 minutes
One of DOOM’s most cohesive and catchy efforts, chock full of hypnotic beats and the ever-playful, witty bars the man was known for. Like most MF efforts, this LP gets a bit too caught up in the meta-narrative for my taste and lets audio samples get in the way of its own creative genius, but once the tracks get rolling it’s hard not to lose yourself in the flow. RIP DOOM, man had so many ideas and tracks left to give the world yet still left such a prolific mark while he was here
This isn't too bad. Straddles that fine line between great hip hop and forgettable hip hop. Good flow, but melodies and beats maybe a little lazy. 3/5.
OK, but not his best work in my opinion. 3 stars as the far superior Madvillainy is already on the list.
Only one beer left
rap snitches telling all their business sit in court and be their own star witness
Mmmmmmmm
Fun with a nice story. Rhythmically basic
Quirky, creative and fun. I liked this, thanks for sharing. Fave Songs: Beef Rapp, Deep Fried Frenz, One Beer, Guinnessez, Fillet-O-Rapper
Hip hop alternativo. Ni fu ni fa.
I'm not a big hip hop expert so I usually find any performer generic and this is the case. I wasn't surprised by any beat so I can only rate on that.
Not my thing.
Not my cup of tea
