Metalfingers Presents: Special Herbs, The Box Set Vol. 0-9
$22.99
special herbs: the box set - An excellent collection beats!!! Doom s beat making and sense are impeccable and solidly done! Not a complete collection like the title implies but an excellent intro into Doom s Special Herbs series!
An eclectic mix that s sure to satisfy... - I was introduced to MF DOOM in Art School and have enjoyed his wit and style for years now. This box set is the perfect companion to any collection of his work and is the only affordable way to own all the herbs. Super chill background music, 70 s, 80 s lounge and if you have seen the new film Grindhouse you may recognise a few tracks from the Intermission sections. A scholar, a gentleman, the one and only, MF DOOM.
good, but not what I expected - This album is pretty good, as you would expect from any madlib, metal fingerz, ect but falls short on the length of the individual tracks. All of the beats are only about half to a third of their original length. But if you do not own any metal fingerz and like hip-hop beats I would highly suggest this cd set. Also you might want to checkout rjd2 or dj shadow.
Oh Yeah. This is exactly how Special Herbs should be presented. - The Special Herbs collections are essentially instrumental-only tunes of what you have heard from MF DOOM / VIKTOR VAUGHN before and then some extra stuff that did not make it to the final cut and of course tunes that MF DOOM had being working on but had no place outside of an instrumental offering. Hence the name, Special Herbs! I would suggest that you search out a full MF DOOM collection and then get these supplements unless you are looking for instrumental-only hip-hop. If you are, then you have come to the right place.Special Herbs: The Box Set is Special Herbs vol. 0-9. You get all five double albums for the price of two albums. So it is much better value. MF DOOM has done it again. You can play this album from start to end for a full day in your home and never get bored with any of it. It is a masterwork.
Simple Tracks that are Too Short - Overall the CD is okay. The beats are simple but good. Nothing out of the ordinary. simple baseline with layers. Good for background/lounge music or for freestyling wit yer homies. I just found that alot of the tracks were too short. Also you have the titles not matching up with the tracks on the CD. When I originally bought this CD I was looking for Emblica Officinalis after sampling the CD at the store I thought that it was not on this box set so I purchased both CD s, volume 0-9 and volume 7-8. Only after I got home and played the 0-9 did I realize that the joints don t match up. All-in-all the cd is dope, a little dark due to the organ samples but still dope. If you want a dope instrumental CD try Pete Rock. I have yet to be let down by the Soul Brother #1
