All of these components are put together and like nearly every Doom album it somehow works. Monsta Island incorporates boom bap beats, extravagant wordplay, serious topics, an array of unique personalities, humorous anecdotes, and even R&B performances towards the tail end of the LP. This first album from New York group Monsta Island Czars but the absence of the group's leader MF Grimm makes the album even more unpredictable which is truly the best word to describe the project. Monsta Island Czars Escape from Monsta Island! Nothing less was expected as the original collaboration between MF Doom and MF Grimm, "Tick Tick," was nothing short of a masterpiece from Doom classic debut album Doomsday.ĥ. There's no reason to complain with this project as it serves good lyrics, outstanding beats, and crucial individuality. 1, while lacking the Doom presence in the MC standpoint, is a very surprising musical experience in which Grimm nicely fills the pocket of Dumile with his own style that Doom fans will find familiar but also refreshing. "Rain Blood Pt.2" delivers more of the rugged rhymes we are accustomed to as Grimm speaks on the troubles of police brutality against African Americans as Grimm refers to himself as Huey P. Grimm provides surprising subject matter due to the fact he spent such little time on his verses, but on songs like "Stress Box," Grimm speaks on the downfalls of fame and how it is getting in the way from keeping up with past friends/acquaintances. but when it comes to rappers y'all just little whipper snappers." This approach can be compared to the style Doom's himself brought to the Mask and the Mouse LP as one of the main themes was calling out subpar rappers who gain fame despite their lackluster rhymes. Grimm freestyled or wrote every verse right before getting in the booth as he tried to capture the essence of his early battle rapping days and the abundance of lyrics depicting hatred towards other MC's proves why he was so successful early in his career, "I'm bigger than both of the dippers. The gritty delivery is there, the off-kilter flows are there, and the hard-hitting lyrics are there which is a necessity as Doom's presence throughout the album is very limited despite the beats that the listener is already familiar with. MF Grimm is most likely the closest MC that can pull off a flow similar to that of Doom's and not sound foolish on the mic. This project included MF Grimm, one of MF Doom's close friends from the '90's, rapping over Doom's first collection of Special Herbs beats. MF Doom/MF Grimm Special Herbs+Spices Volume 1 In Nehruviandoom MF Doom is the highlight providing fans with a set of sounds that could be added to his brilliant Special Herbs Collection.Ħ. But you begin to wonder if Doom could have approached this idea differently with other young rappers who have similar style to Doom due to his influence including Milo, Earl Sweatshirt, and even Vince Staples. I congratulate Doom for collaborating with a young rapper who shows potential in flow and even shows signs of lyrical skill. The main weakness for Nehru would be his hook game which in songs like "So Alone," "Darkness (HBU)." "Mean the Most" and even "Great Things." You can't help but cringe at the chorus while still bobbing your head at Doom's instrumental. I wouldn't fully call this an MC drowning in the production as Bishop Nehru does keep an interesting flow throughout the project and provides an interesting subject matter that keeps you engaged as you listen. Doom's production is solid as always and the standout aspect of the project, Nehru does display interesting patterns about his rapping style but the main reason for listening to the album is for Doom's beats. This collaboration includes Doom producing the beats for young and upcoming rapper Bishop Nehru. Here's a list depicting all of Doom's collaborative albums ranked from worst to best taking in all the ideas, impact, and overall fan impression of each project.ĮD NOTE: Doom's Czarface Meets Metal Face collab just came out now and it's a good one too. From young rappers to other legends that have been in the game for decades, Doom grew as both a person and MC to create a diverse catalogue of experimental music mixed with daring rhymes.
Looking at the list of artists Doom has worked with, you can't help but admire the abundance of ideas he has created and ventured to. Perfect Sound Forever: MF Doom collaborations
