Sweet Tart Marbled Vinyl in Gatefold Jacket w/New Cover Art
Originally released in 2004, MF DOOMs MMFood is hailed as a classic hip-hop album full of inventive production, remarkable wordplay and unique themes. Celebrated for its seamless blend of humor, wit and social commentary, the album ushers listeners into a bizarre world of food-related metaphors, painting a bitterly comedic portrait of a life tainted by vice, violence and jealousy. It was a brilliant and novel concept that gave DOOM plenty of room to explore the albums subjects.
Throughout MMFood, DOOM embeds complex ideas within seemingly simple narratives. Album opener Beef Rapp is a multi-pronged metaphor reminding listeners of the dangers involved in the glorification of conflict, especially within the rap game. Hoe Cakes borrows its name from the sweet, hot water cornmeal patties, which he uses as a symbol to rhyme about indulgence and excess. Continuing the motif, he uses the Madlib-produced One Beer to fold layers of depth about escapism and ego, while the popular Rapp Snitch Knishes critiques the self-incrimination and contradictory behaviors of some rappers. Overall, MMFood is both a social commentary and a piece of social satire, showcasing MF DOOMs ability to blend serious themes with his unique, playful lyrical style.
One of the Top 100 Selling LPs of 2023, MMFood has remained an enduring cultural and commercial success in the two decades since its original release. This 20th Anniversary Edition features completely new artwork by Sam Rodriguez and is pressed on 3-color Sweet Tart Marble effect double vinyl. The package includes case wrapped tip-on gatefold jacket and a QR code that takes listeners to a one-of-a-kind AR diner.
