MF Doom’s Estate Shares Remixes & Interview Soundbites On 20th Anniversary Edition Of “MM..Food”

by

A rap icon like no other is being celebrated today with a special rerelease of a beloved project. The estate of English born rapper and producer MF DOOM is celebrating and remembering MM..FOOD with a 20th Anniversary Edition out everywhere now. The 2004 album tends to get overlooked a bit by the release of Madvillainy that same year. However, make no mistake, MM..FOOD is a halo release within his decorated discography.

MF DOOM’s team certainly is doing this project right with this special edition with some exclusive remixes and rare soundbites. The latter were taken from the same interview, with him answering questions about his standing in rap, the process of making music, and more. Then, there’s the remixes, and they feature production chops from the likes of frequent collaborators Madlib and Ant, as well as Jake One. “One Beer” and “H*e Cakes” are the tracks receiving such treatment. However, the music isn’t the only thing that DOOM’s estate is offering with this drop. There are multiple variants of the anniversary pressing on vinyl on gasdrawls.com.

MF DOOM’s ‘MM..FOOD’ Is Being Reissued As A 20th Anniversary Special Edition

by

The late MF DOOM may not have been the best known hip-hop artist during his life, but while he was still around, he dropped some undisputed underground classics. One of those classics was 2004’s MM..FOOD, his fifth studio album. A concept album revolving around double entendre references to comestibles, MM..FOOD is widely held as one of rap’s most creative projects of the backpack era, expanding on the idea of what rap could and should be.

On November 15th, Rhymesayers will reissue the album in honor of its 20th anniversary with special-edition apparel, toys (of course), and vinyl records featuring all new artwork by artist Sam Rodriguez. Here’s everything that will be included:

– A limited deluxe edition double LP, which will come with a bonus 7″ featuring the rare original version of “Kookies” and its Just Blaze-produced remix.

– A reissue of the “Hoe Cakes” 12″, which has been out-of-print for some years, pressed on a “bug juice blend” colored vinyl with its original artwork.

– A digital deluxe version of MM..FOOD with rare remixes of “One Beer” and “Hoe Cakes” by Madlib, Jake One, and Ant. The Madlib “One Beer” remix is up top.

– A Super7 action figure inspired by the album cover. It’ll come with a 33 oz. cereal bowl and matching spoon. MMMM, cereal.

– The apparel collection, which has shirts, hoodies, hats, and aprons. Additionally, there’s some cool accessories like tote bags, lighters, and record slipmats.

You can see the full range of the collection below and find more info at gasdrawls.com or rhymesayers.com.

MF DOOM Album Briefly Removed From Spotify

by

MF DOOM fans were shocked to find that one of the rapper’s most acclaimed albums was no longer on Spotify. MM… FOOD, released in 2004, was pulled from the popular music streaming service on the evening of July 23. It returned soon after, but not before fans started mourning their perceived loss. Of course, some fans took it as an opportunity to flex their preferred streaming service as the “superior” one.

Like much of underground hip-hop from the early 2000s, MF DOOM’s music is littered with uncleared samples. DOOM was famous for using movie samples, especially from old superhero shows. He also used obscure jazz, soul, and whatever else he could find in his production process. Many artists from DOOM’s era did not get popular enough for anyone to come after them for not getting their samples cleared. DOOM’s popularity has grown over the years, and in death, he is the most popular he’s ever been. Which is why other fans thought that MM… FOOD‘s removal had to do with the lack of cleared samples. It was more likely a bug, which is why it returned so quickly.

Long considered one of the greatest rappers of all time, MF DOOM passed away on Halloween 2020. DOOM’s wife announced the news on New Year’s Eve of that year, much to the shock of fans. Since then, fans have been keeping his legacy alive by listening to his music. He has nearly eight million monthly listeners on Spotify, at the time of this writing.

In 2023, producer Madlib and Brooklyn rapper Talib Kweli appeared on Hot 97 to talk about Liberation 2, their second collaborative release. Questions about the existence of Madvillainy 2, the long-awaited followup to MF DOOM and Madlib’s seminal work, Madvillainy arose. Madlib confirmed that the album is still being worked on, but it is unclear when it will release, if at all. Hopefully, all parties involved come together to pay tribute to the late legendary rapper if the time comes. Until then, do yourself a favor and stream MM… FOOD today.
