The long-awaited reissue of \u003cem\u003eOperation: Doomsday\u003c\/em\u003e by \u003cstrong\u003eMF Doom\u003c\/strong\u003e. Remastered from the original Fondle 'Em 1999 issue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSide A is listed as \"\u003cem\u003eSide Zero\u003c\/em\u003e\".

After KMD (his first group)'s 1994 sophomore album \u003cem\u003eBl_ck B_st_rds\u003c\/em\u003e was shelved by Elektra in 1994 and his blood brother Subroc (one half of the sibling rap duo) passed away, surviving frontman Zev Love X mutated into the MC Avenger known as \u003cstrong\u003eMF Doom\u003c\/strong\u003e, and the rap world is better for it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis 19-cut deep album is ridiculously dope, in a bizarro Ol' Dirty Bastard kind of way. \u003cstrong\u003eDoom\u003c\/strong\u003e sounds either high or drunk on most of the tracks, his self-produced beats are gritty, and his rhyme styles are almost indecipherable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn arguably the best track, \"\u003cem\u003eRhymes Like Dimes\u003c\/em\u003e,\" \u003cstrong\u003eDoom\u003c\/strong\u003e weaves some pointed lyrics through his abstract wordplay, spitting 'only in America could you find a way to earn a healthy buck \/ And still keep your attitude on self-destruct.'\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\"\u003cem\u003eWho You Think I Am?\u003c\/em\u003e\" features \u003cstrong\u003eDoom\u003c\/strong\u003e's crew M.onster I.sland C.zars, while on \"?\" he trades hot verses with former Columbia artist Kurious Jorge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoom\u003c\/strong\u003e's avant-garde ghetto-rhyme philosophies take even more intentionally weird twists on \"\u003cem\u003eTick, Tick...\u003c\/em\u003e\" where he and guest MC MF Grimm's flows warble over a rhythm track whose tempo speeds up and slows down continually.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe comic-book themed skits will help take you deep into the mind of an MC who is as otherworldly as they come. And in today's bland commercial rap universe, \u003cem\u003eOperation Doomsday\u003c\/em\u003e's left-of-center beats and rhymes are the perfect remedy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Metal Face Records","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":50545753260363,"sku":"1119625","price":37.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/89dc7efe-b33d-4524-bf94-a879575a14db_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1728358196","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/products\/operation-doomsday-silver-sleeve-2012-version","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
