From Take Me To Your Leader : Big Dada : BDCD051
MF Doom has got to be the most prolific hip-hop artist out there. Ever since he dropped Operation Doomsday on the unsuspecting public in 1998, he hasn’t stopped for a breath since. In 2004 he put out something like four full length albums, and that’s not including singles and guest appearances. You’d think that there’d be some drop in quality with all those releases, but somehow he keeps the quality high and the filler low.
King Geedorah is one of his many alter-egos - who just happens to be a three-headed lizard from outer space.
“This whole album is Geedorah’s alien perspective on humans,” he explains. “This is done intentionally to show the listener a mirror image of his/herself and the way we see each other. On the album we cover different subjects ranging from race issues to the neglect of children. Some might find the word “Nigger” offensive, or the line about the young girl not being able to read maybe considered a “bad taste” joke. All these insecurities are within us.”
(from the Press release)
This album is totally a one man, er, one lizard show, with MF Doom doing everything (aside from the guest vocals) on this album. Take Me To Your Leader has got all of your trademark MF Doom elements. Old sci-fi movie samples, lo-fi production, incredible raps and off-kilter beats. It’s a remarkable document and really gives us an incredible glimpse into one of the many minds of MF Doom.
