Mf Doom - Special Herbs 9 & 0 (2 LP)

Double vinyl LP pressing. MF Doom is the man in the iron mask. The most mysterious figure in hip-hop has also become one of the most popular, supplying beats and rhymes for Gorillaz, de la Soul, Madlib, Danger Mouse, and WuTang Clan, and drawing praise from heavyweights like Just Blaze, Nas, and Mos Def. Since 2002, Doom has released numerous volumes of Special Herbs, one of the longest-running instrumental series in hiphop history. With obscure loops and dusty samples galore, Special Herbs Vol. 9 & 0 is a must-have for any Doom fan or hip-hop head. The villainous one returns with another set of instrumentals and backing tracks used previously on his proper releases. While it's a great way to study the groovy loops and the perfect edits MF Doom creates, newcomers should know that tracks are untouched for the most part, not mind-blowing turntable workouts or grand remixes. That's cool for Doom fans, since his lyric-filled albums require mucho attention to really work their magic. In
