M.I.C. - Run The Sphere
Doom's on it with a bunch of other mcs. It's just a single that i have heard -is there an album that goes with this? Has a kind of rugged battling for the mic before the take is over feel to it. Best thing I have heard Doom on. Doomsday was alright, ended up selling my og lp for a tonne though.... i didnt like it enough obviously.

remember the jackalope
^ the Monster Island Czars stuff is a mixed bag
my favorite doom spinoff thing is the King Geedorah record
i rate it alongside Madvillain and the first Doom album

Yeah, there was, but like EM says, it was mixed - the album had 3 or 4 good tracks
saw M.I.C. open up for Doom in spring 2001 at Knitting Factory (IIRC) and that was excatly what they were like live... a bunch of dudes whilin out on stage...

I'd rather masturbate than fuck with Vik Vaughn (volume 2, that is)
"run the sphere" isn't on the MIC album actually, one of those random standalone singles that came and went. european producer pays big bucks for his favourite emcees to jump on a track and nothing else comes of it... used to happen a fair bit at the height of the indie hip hop days. think that aforementioned second viktor vaughn came about in a similar way. doom is notorious for doing anything for anyone as long as they pay him.
haven't listened to the MIC album for years but i remember it having a shitload of classic doom beats from the early 'special herbs' volumes, a few of which got reused by ghostface et al on 'fishscale.'

ah excellent. this brings a smile to my face... it so sounded like that
i find the pop culture references / affected folksy stylings tiresome, & unfortunately that increasingly seems to be what he's about (i suspect this has something to do with adult swim / stoners but i'm not sure). on the other hand, he is a fantastic storyteller -- vik vaughn 1 is one of my favourite hip-hop albums ever, mainly for that reason.
his new one is ok, the bit with raekwon is engaging, otherwise no strong feelings really.

yeh Doom's much better when he just raps in a lyrically lyrical fashion, he really is a great rapper when he wants to be - this I think I was the reason why Madvillainy was so great (also about the only Madlib I can stomach), all Doom had to do was rap. also I dunno man the novelty of flipping 70s/80s easy listening & schlock pop for beats kinda wears off too. tho tbf I stopped paying attention a couple yrs ago & have no intention of spending any time on his new material.
the KMD stuff is, as mentioned by others, worth checking out - I dunno about all of it, both LPs certainly have some filler but there are some great singles, "Plumskinnz" foremost among them I reckon. & "The Gas Face" is a stone cold classic of course, with a verse from a young Zev Love X (great video too).
for some reason this all makes me think of the Juggaknots & "Clear Blue Skies"...

its interesting, and kind of nice i reckon, that mf doom is almost universally appreciated and loved but still brings out the inner critic in even his most ardent fans
