![]() ![]() The track was re-recorded for Mm.Food with a more laidback performance from MF Doom. "Kon Queso" was originally released under the name "Yee Haw" on a 12 inch single in July 2003 with Molemen. Mm.Food features guest appearances from Count Bass D, Angelika, 4ize and Mr. The album is primarily produced by MF Doom, except for the tracks "Potholderz", produced by Count Bass D " One Beer", produced by Madlib and originally intended for the joint Madlib and MF Doom album Madvillainy and "Kon Queso" produced by PNS of Molemen. The album's titles and lyrics contain references to different foods, some with common metaphors and double entendres in the "street world" and the "nutritional realm". Fans looking for his next big statement might be let down at first listen, but Mm.Food is as vital as anything he's done before and entirely untouched or stymied by the hype.MF Doom described Mm.Food as a concept album "about the things you find on a picnic, or at a picnic table". The mostly instrumental middle of the album is a fantastic, playful ride and more fresh evidence the man is never swayed by fads. Fantastik gives fakes a proper whooping on the excellent "Rapp Snitch Knishes." Doom's behind every beat here, whipping up a busy brew of screw-loose samples and late-'90s beats. ![]() Backstabbers get their due on the Whodini-sampling "Deep Fried Frenz" while guest Mr. Food references and a ton of samples and scratches from old Fantastic Four read-along records keep the album light as Doom takes tired hip-hop topics like "keeping your hoes in check" and turncoat friends and screws with them. ![]() It's actually one of Doom's least ambitious releases and a lot more fun than his previous ones, especially anything released under his dark Viktor Vaughn moniker. Part of the reason for this is that Mm.Food is unconcerned with the hype and doesn't try too hard. Still, every bit of Doom output has the underground's tongue wagging, and as usual, the metal-fingered villain doesn't disappoint. You could call the proper follow-up to 1999's heralded Operation: Doomsday highly anticipated if it weren't for the wealth of side projects, pseudonyms, bootlegs, and mixtapes MF Doom unleashed afterward. ![]()
