I only really got into DOOM a few years ago but I’m with you, MM… FOOD is definitely my favourite. There’s always something to recommend in any of his records though.
I actually think I saw DOOM at a festival but, like an idiot, I didn’t even know who he was so I didn’t really engage and now can’t remember a thing about the performance. More fool me.
Just to highlight his versatility, I also love this collaboration with BADBADNOTGOOD. Not many MCs can make rapping over live jazz sound this good, and even fewer would toss a track like this away as a cut from a Grand Theft Auto soundtrack https://open.spotify.com/track/6HOLZtVDh5EgvPnW4z23n2?si=NU4upEs4SvSCQSgxt89TCA
I hadn't heard that track until after I saw BADBADNOTGOOD with you at Primavera! It really is amazing, although you can hear the wear on his voice by that stage in his career. I think he played Bestival in 2012 - were you at that one? Craig Stevens covered the festival for No Ripcord but didn't mention DOOM in his write-up. I really wish I'd seen him. He played Manchester several times between 2010 and 2014 so I had the chance.
It will not surprise you to learn there are several Reddit threads debating the correct case to use when writing this song title (and Madvillain…and many things DOOM). I took my cue from Stone’s Throw on this one, but all versions welcome. MF DOOM is always MF DOOM and never MF Doom though.

I cannot decide personally I just love the song
It’s just amazing. Everything about it is perfectly executed. I’m going to write a piece about the sampling soon.
