In the Clever Rap Lyrics thread, **TLDRIDKJKLOLFTW** offered the opinion that MF Doom fits the bill. I only recently discovered MF Doom and fell in love. In my opinion most current mainstream hip hop/rap is toilet. My home catalog is pretty outdated and was hoping you Dopers could point me in the direction of some more “Doom-type” music (or other Doom albums I don’t yet own). Owned favorites include **Digable Planets** , **De La Soul** , **Cypress Hill** , **Wyclef Jean** , **Camp Lo** , **Outkast** , **Common** (went to school with him here in Chicago /namedrop) blah blah blah. I have room for expansion. The Doom I’ve got is: **Dangerdoom** _The Mouse and the Mask_ **King Geedorah** _Take me to your Leader_ **Madvillain** _Madvillainy_ You may enlighten me. ---

Just… go to amazon and type in MF Doom. It’ll bring up every album he’s ever been a part of, and also a list of albums purchased by people who purchased his. My favorite so far is Operation: Doomsday, and the best song on it, “Doomsday”. Unfortunately, it’s out of print. ---

Yeah, you’re really missing out if you don’t have _Operation: Doomsday_. There was an expanded/remastered re-release of it…wow, I just looked it up and I guess it is strangely out of print. Weird! It’s his best album, so I suggest doing what you can to get mp3’s of it or something. Like maybe dropping me a PM… If you like him, you’d probably really dig Madlib. I think the best two things he’s been involved with are the albums [The Unseen](http://www.amazon.com/Unseen-Quasimoto/dp/B000A2H79A/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1201827408&sr=8-1) by Quasimoto (Madlib trading off rhymes with…himself, through a pitch-shifter) and the Lootpack’s [Soundpieces: Da Antidote](http://www.amazon.com/Soundpieces-Da-Antidote-Lootpack/dp/B00000JHFO/ref=pd_sim_m_title_2). You can always go back and listen to the KMD records - that’s the group that Doom was in under the name “Zev Love X” in the early nineties. ---

Get all of it if you can, **Mooch**. I like MM Food to start. Victor Vaughn is my man, for real. Peach Fuzz was my joint when I was a kid! Much respect, TLDRIDKJKLOLFTW, for knowing that KMD is MF Doom. You know your stuff! Lots of hip hop fans don’t know that! Also, **Mooch** , I recommend Sean Price (Sean P). If you love Doom, you will like him. ---
