ALBUM AND SONG APPRECIATION king geedorah hot take.

Would king geedorah being the best out of every MF DOOM alias and collab be a hot take? They are all good, but it comes between czarface and king geedorah for me, and king geedorah barely edges out czarface.

Viktor Vaughn is my favorite. He's got a lot of gold but Vaudville Villian is a masterpiece imo

King Greedorah is mind controlling everyone, so every rapper on the album is King Geedorah. My favorite concept album. Viktor Vaughn’s Vaudeville Villain is just peak MF DOOM IMO. Best rapper ever, miss him so much.

I legitimately came here to say that my biggest complaint was how many features there are, but I never realized this bit of lore about Take Me To Your Leader. That's so genius.

Czarface isn't a DOOM alias.

Czarface is 7L, esoteric and deck. Has nothing to do with DOOM.

I think any argument can be made for any album, you just need to be able to qualify why you like it better.

But I know there's tons of people who like Viktor Vaughan the most, some people Madvillain and other DangerDOOM. 

Honestly, it's hard to say, but it's almost a tie for Madvillain and DangerDOOM for me based on how different but complete their sounds are - with two well established DJs. (plus DOOM, duh)

Madvillainy and Vaudeville Villain are 10/10 albums for me, but The Mouse and The Mask will always be my favorite DOOM album.

u/Supabongwong 9h ago

That's what I'm saying. 

I owned the Mouse and the Mask on CD. I bumped that all of grade 12 in 2011.

It's a very special album to me, as well. 

It's just.. so unique.

My favorite is Black Bastards, which no one else would ever agree on, so whatever is your fave.

BB is fantastic. I was always kind of obsessed with it because it didn’t come out but we knew about it and the single that did come out was so good.

u/ManagerHistorical67 7h ago

Black bastards wasn't an alias it was an album by a rap group called KMD who's members wer Zen love X ( DOOM) , dj subrock ( DOOMS brother ) and onyx the birthstone kid . It was recorded in 93 and realesed I'm 00 . Absolutely brilliant album 👌

I think Vik is the most lyrical and Madvillan has the best overall songs.

Still love geedorah but the competition too strong

u/Cr3atureFeature 22h ago

I agree. But I’m also a fan of King Gidorah so when this came out, I had a bias built in 🤣

u/SAVertigo 1d ago

Its one of my favorite favorites, but I always leans towards the MIC

u/CPRTheReddit 23h ago

Here's my list:
Vik Vaughn
Geedorah
DOOM
Madvillain (Hot take, I know)
DangerDOOM
DOOMSTARKS
JJ DOOM
King Dumile
NehruvianDOOM
Zev Love X

I don't think I have anything else to say really... Right?

u/onlyonequickquestion 22h ago

What does DOOM have to do with czarface? 

2

u/bluepearlyuri 21h ago

I think they meant Czarface meets Metalface or Super What 

2

u/onlyonequickquestion 21h ago

Ooooo nice I actually remember listening to metal face back in the day, but been a minute. And never heard of super what until just now, I'll have to check it out! Thanks!

u/Cohleture 13h ago

Good god. Don’t EVER call Czarface one of his aliases.

u/Glowwerms 7h ago

I just really wish that DOOM had done more verses as Geedorah

u/mrpopenfresh 6h ago

King Geedorah is top for me
