by British-American MC/producer MF Doom, released under the alias King Geedorah via Big Dada on 17 June 2003. King Geedorah is the alias MF Doom used as part of the underground super group Monsta Island Czars. The album features guest appearances from MF Grimm (as Jet-Jaguar) as well as other MIC members
Me, an elder millennial, reading that plethora of aliases I’ve never heard of:
MF DOOM had an entire mythos going with several aliases including: MF DOOM (sometimes credited as just “DOOM” like on Born Like This), King Geedorah, Vicktor Vaughn (clever play on “Victor Von Doom,” aka Dr. Doom), Metal Face, and Metal Fingers (used for production credits only, I believe). Also, can’t forget his original moniker, Zev Luv X (with his late brother in the group KMD).
Then you have his collabs like: Madvillian (DOOM + Madlib, and probably the best hip hop album ever produced - Madvilliany),
DangerDOOM (DOOM + Danger Mouse),
DOOMStarks (DOOM + Ghostface Killah. Honestly wish there was more of this),
Aquaman’s pops can’t water check me\
Disrespect me (Yo), indirectly (Yo)\
I seen his feet and they both lefty, he steppin’ half correctly\
As I stroll the globe and terrorize the planet\
With a Bill Clinton mask and them Playskool hammers\
Me and DOOM, always be the best on the landing\
Superheroes for life until our souls vanish
That bolded line is one of my favorite lines ever.
I am gonna be that guy though and point out that it’s Viktor Vaughn (looking at my copy of Vaudeville Villain right now)
and probably the best hip hop album ever produced - Madvilliany
I’m the oldest millennial possible and it breaks my heart that you aren’t aware of the madvillainy. He got caught sending a body-double to shows, and his defense was “I’m a villain.”
I first heard him on The Herbaliser’s “Something Wicked Yhis Way Comes” on the track “It Ain’t Nuttin’”
Now I’m wondering how you would play DOOM in a manner which is polite towards the demons 😄
You’re gonna want to go with the King Geedorah album if you want DOOM being polite to demons

And all of it is top notch.
We lost a literal genius when he passed. RIP.
Ghostface being the Tony Stark to MF DOOM’s Viktor von Doom was always the sickest shit.
One of my favorite tracks with them together was on The Mouse and The Mask by DangerDOOM.

EDIT: Hot Guacamole
Ugh shit I knew that.
The Mask is such a good track. GFK’s verse is so sick (and the beat is amazing).
Edit: thanks for the link, it’s been years since I’ve listened to anything off Mm… Leftovers.
The line about how he “almost caught a case off that same shit the other day” made me lol.
The song made me think of that song Eminem did with Dre, Guilty Conscience

Set the game to the lowest difficulty, then gently ask all the bad guys to please go home, it’s time for tea.
Nice try, but demons only drink Mountain Dew Code Red and Bud Light Lime 😉
