My only problem with the song is the slowing down/speeding up of the beat can get annoying, but Doom’s clever lyrics save the track. He isn’t exactly rapping 100 words a minute like Twista but his slower raps get the job done. Tick, Tick’s beat features a fairly sinister wouldn’t be out of place in an late 20’s movie string sample and a drum part that changes tempo every once in a while. One good part about similarities between some tracks is the other tracks sound so refreshing Tick, Tick is a great example of this. The first few songs that fit this mold, Doomsday, Go With the Flow, etc are refreshing and awesome but the formula gets a little annoying when you are listening to the entire record. A good portion of the album the beats in these songs always consists of bass, a Fender Rhoades style organ riff and a fairly standard drum beat. One of my biggest problems with Operation Doomsday is the similarities between some tracks. If you can overlook that (or like it) then this is a great song. The vocal production sounds like Doom is a DJ on a radio, this seems cool at first but soon begins to get quite annoying. Joker rhymes, like the "Is you just happy to see me?" trick/Classical slap-stick rappers need Chap stick/A lot of 'em sound like they in a talent show/So I give 'em something to remember, like the Alamo. Rhymes like Dimes features some great lyrics. A soft psychedelic organ sample is looped throughout the song over a fairly standard drum beat. Second track Rhymes Like Dimes is a perfect example of this. His voice soothes the soul while it blasts rhymes at about 100 words a minute. That is one of the main goals of this review.ĭoom’s voice is one of the best parts about his sound. Unfortunately a large of fraction of the world has not been properly introduced to Doom. Operation introduced a fraction of the world to MF Doom’s clever lyricism and classic sounding beats. Needless to say I went out and picked up his debut, Operation Doomsday and you are now reading what I think of it. Well, I listened to a couple tracks and was instantly in love with Doom’s mellow, fast raps and relaxing beats and samples. You see, he wears a Doctor Doom mask, fellow comic book subscribers (or people who went to the movie to see Jessica Alba in a skintight super hero outfit) will know that Doctor Doom is the main villain in the Fantastic Four series. It was MF Doom’s face or rather lack of a face. Rhapsody claimed his sound included elements of Ghostface and RJD2, two of my favorites in the Hip Hop genre, but that wasn’t what appealed to me most. Well one day I was browsing for some new emcees to check out and I came across a man named MF Doom. I started out with more electronic stuff like DJ Shadow and RJD2 and then moved into stuff like the Roots and Common. With Music it started out as Pop-Punk then Indie and finally I grew quite a liking for a genre I never would have thought of myself to like in my days as an Indie Fanatic: Hip-Hop. Well, I eventually moved on from Comic Books and Skateboarding into music. There was Spiderman, X-Men and an early favorite the Fantastic Four. I started out with the Power Ranger phases then moved on to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles after a few years I moved to the next logical step: Comic Books.
