"is KMD's Mr. Hood a classic?" Thu Apr-12-12 05:04 PM by ABROCK33
I know its relativley obscure and rarely gets brought up along w the heavyweights of the era
its hardly even mentioned in the context of Dooms own discography; almost as if his career started w Op Doomsday
for those that have followed Doom since the begining you can see how his style developed over the course of years of practice
his ear for the eccentric began here
the way the Mr Hood charachter dialogue was chopped up to resemble actual conversation and was interwoven as a sequway into the songs was genuis IMHO
Mr Hood wasnt just a skit for skits sake he actually tied the album together
a slightly ignorant man who wandered into KMD's LI world and interacts w the black youth
he was actually makeing a statement while being entertaining
the rhymes were thoughtfull and intelligent
its a lyricaly "dense" lp
to those whove heard it and digested it and realy analyzed it what do u think?
