Producer extraordinaire Danger Mouse and rapper/villain MF Doom joined forces in 2005 to form the unstoppable hip-hop beast Danger Doom and pay homage to the Cartoon Network's late night absurdity of Adult Swim. A Hip-Hop oddity if there ever was one, this beat friendly and lyrically mesmerizing creation is a masterful answer to all that is popular Hip-Hop/rap these days. Does Kanye West give you unending douche chills? Tired of P-Diddy MTV reality shows? Does an endless use of Auto Tune voice pitch changing shit make you bang your head against the wall?
It is unquestionable that pop hip-hop is a wasteland of lowest common denominator marketing and mind numbingly repetitive sampling. But there are still shining points of creativity within the world of Hip-Hop, Danger Doom is the combination of two of those forces. Guest appearances by the likes of rap emissaries Ghostface, Talib Kweli, and Cee-Lo Green are met by Adult Swim personalities Brak, Harvey Birdman, Master Shake and the rest of ATHF, the cast of Sea Lab 2021 and more. The songs wander freely around cartoon inspired plot lines and animated landscapes. Sound surreal? It is.
I really need you to have this.
