Mm..Food
Album Summary

This album has been submitted by a user and is not included in any edition of the book.

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.

Equal parts dumb skits and the best production you’ve ever heard on a hip hop album. I get why the inserts are there but man sometimes I just wanna hear the good shit. Guinnessez and rapp snitch knishes are my favs.

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.

Yet another glaring omission from the OG list. MF Doom is one of the best to ever do it, and one of the weirdos who make the genre wonderful. Favorite tracks: "Potholderz", "Rap Snitches Knishes"

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.

Some nice tunes but a little too heavy on the samples.
