British Sea Power - No Lucifer

The Whispers - And The Beat Goes On

Best 3 songs? All Caps, which I posted, maybe Vaudeville Villain, Saliva?

I dunno, I think he has a lot of songs I'd have to sit down and think because I listen to most of the albums in whole.

I really like the albums Madvillainy (under artist: Madvillain) and Vaudeville Villain (under artist: Viktor Vaughn).

For the rest of MF Doom's stuff, I find a lot of it comes down to the subtle production, which often times is really top notch. I also recommend reading along with some of the lyrics, I find that to help me appreciate his rhyming.

Otherwise, I have to agree a lot of his stuff is hard to enjoy...or very subdued.

Anyway.........

Dangerdoom isn't the best, but his work with Ghostface is pretty top notch.
I'm sad he hasn't done much in a while. I've heard rumors of declining health, but I'm not sure, I still haven't seen him live but I'd love to.

All of that said (I don't have too many Doom convos) 3 great songs...

Rock Co.Kane Flow - De La Soul ft. MF Doom (produced by Prince Paul)
This track has too much to like...rhymes by De La Soul and Doom along with an amazing beat by Prince Paul...it transcends any of them, but it perfect..

Doper Skiller (ft. Kool Keith) - This is from the sequel to Vaudeville Villain, "Venemous Villain" which as a whole is pretty weak, but Doom and Keith together? It's unbeatable once again...

3rd song...I was actually going to go with Saliva as well as KG already suggested. I listen to this often on repeat in my car or wherever, just so good.

As for El-P, well, I love his production on the Cannibal Ox album as well as the first Mr. Lif. It took me longer to get into his rapping style, but as a producer I have a lot of respect for him.

I probably have more to say, but I get in a cab for a plane back home in about 4 hours...yikes...I should go to bed.

Danger Mouse and Jemini - Ghetto Pop Life

Wow, my Norwegian idol is slowly turning into a real pop star.

Doing a live duet with Jason Mraz (she's his support act here in Europe).

Also, her latest CD will be released here in Holland. She will do 2 shows (1 Rotterdam, 1 Amsterdam) and I'm visiting the one in R'dam! :D
