yeah that's that is great. I like the lack of autotune in the terrible singing bit at the end too
that singing bit's like my favourite. not terrible at all.
is ghost only on one track on the lp? something i read a while ago made it sound like he'd thrown in some of the sessions they did, kinda abandoning the plans for a full record

has he used the 'rectal hysterectomy' line before?

ya I mean his singing voice is terrible but it fits nicely with the vibe of the whole thing.

the thom yorke remix sounds better on paper.
― Yellow Carded (titchyschneiderMk2), Friday, 13 March 2009 10:43 (fifteen years ago) link
it sounds like a thom yorke remix. the four tet mixes put the vocals on a different bed of sounds but it still sounded good, this sounds a little jarring

how many tracks from the ghost/doom album made it out last year or whenever that was still being mooted? cos i think the one on here is from those 'sessions'.
― Yellow Carded (titchyschneiderMk2), Monday, 16 March 2009 10:48 (fifteen years ago) link
"Absolutely" and the Raekwon track kill.

album is too hi-fi. dude works best on shitty king geedorah beats.
― Whiney G. Weingarten, Sunday, 29 March 2009 19:16 (fifteen years ago) link
i ADORE this album. it should be on everyones best of 2009 list.

It's good and enjoyable, but not anywhere near what he's capable of.
― Whitney Hoosteen (The Reverend), Tuesday, 31 March 2009 05:23 (fifteen years ago) link
i like him a good bit, but i can't seem to connect with him at all. his songs end up sounding the same to me :/ they sound good, but the same

i haven't really liked anything he's done since Operation:Doomsday (which was my favourite shit in the world in 99/00) cos it all sounds too hi-fi compared to that. guess this new one isn't gonna change that? :(
― jesus is the man (jabba hands), Tuesday, 31 March 2009 06:00 (fifteen years ago) link
king geedorah and mmm food were mostly self produced and therefore also his best albums.
― Yellow Carded (titchyschneiderMk2), Tuesday, 31 March 2009 09:05 (fifteen years ago) link
mmm food peters out towards the end though, but yeah, side 1 is killer. i think king geedorah is my favourite doom, overall.
― A bacon desert? Anything is possible. (stevie), Tuesday, 31 March 2009 10:08 (fifteen years ago) link
i never liked the vv albums cos the beats were boring/too standard underground rap. madvillainy worked cos madlibs beats are kinda undernourished/crumbling too though doom just has an altogether more dilapidated approach to beats which is why his own self produced material works best.
ive a feeling anyone expecting BLT to be like the first taste of a whole new wave of new doom projects is gonna be let down. i dont think doom is really coming back, hes just getting a bit of pocket money.
― Yellow Carded (titchyschneiderMk2), Tuesday, 31 March 2009 10:15 (fifteen years ago) link
Unfortunately I think ^^^ is totally OTM. The Doom of 2002, 2003 is gone for good it seems. I'm halfway through my first listen of Born Like This and liking it pretty well so far. My only complaint, and a very minor one at that, is that there seems to be more vocal samples of him talking in silly voices than direct rips from TV shows and comics. I mean, those are still there too, but in less amounts than I really like. His flow on "Gazillion Ear" is crazy good though.

um, his debut?
― autogucci cru (deej), Tuesday, 31 March 2009 23:55 (fifteen years ago) link
Well, Vic Vaughan is by far my favorite. Dark and inventive. Normally I have a lot of time for Doom, but (esp. following lip syncing debacle) it's clear he's struggling for scraps. Some of these are 3 years old, the Rae beat has been used...5 times? Vaughan is mixed too high over old beats (suggesting he was barely in the studio) and there's no concept. 4/10.
― paulhw, Wednesday, 1 April 2009 00:02 (fifteen years ago) link
c'mon that lip syncing thing was classic.
― The Lost Boys Buff Guy Playing Sax (rockapads), Wednesday, 1 April 2009 01:31 (fifteen years ago) link
Yeah, but this recovered piece of shit is not.

― corps of discovery (schlump), Wednesday, 1 April 2009 03:18 (fifteen years ago) link
the Rae beat has been used...5 times?
Eh, "UFO" is almost as much of a stock breakbeat as "Funky Drummer" or "Apache" or "Impeach the President". At that point, it's so much a part of the fabric of rap production that any "recycling" criticisms seem beyond the pale.
― Whitney Hoosteen (The Reverend), Wednesday, 1 April 2009 05:00 (fifteen years ago) link
Rev otm criticizing that for being overused misses the point - u can bet he is plenty familiar w it & was using that break intentionally
― autogucci cru (deej), Wednesday, 1 April 2009 05:09 (fifteen years ago) link
the rae/ufo track is great. youd think it would sound tired, but it doesnt.
"do you even know what the words you are typing mean?"
you obviously dont.
"um, his debut?"
and his debut yeah. i forgot that one.
"Operation Doomsday > King Geedorah > MMM Food > Madvilliany > Born Like This > Danger Doom > Viktor Vaughn > VV2"
totally otm.
― Yellow Carded (titchyschneiderMk2), Wednesday, 1 April 2009 07:25 (fifteen years ago) link
surprised at the hate for the first VV, up there with Geedorah & Madvillainy for me. the second one really is a stinker though, ugh.
― zappi, Wednesday, 1 April 2009 08:19 (fifteen years ago) link
It's always good to hear ESG's UFO. I never get tired of hearing it on hip hop records but the fact that it makes up one of the few outstanding tracks on BLT speaks volumes. The sample should just be there to throw newer shit into sharp relief. But the newer shit is just that . . . shit.
Also that Batty Boy track is piss poor. I can't work out what's worse, the suggestion that gay men should be battered with baseball bats or the will-this-do? delivery.
― Doran, Wednesday, 1 April 2009 10:20 (fifteen years ago) link
from what ive read doom just did this album cos the label was on his back. and cos he needed a bit of money. but even in spite of that, its still a good album. even when hes maybe not trying super hard, dooms still a really great writer.

Pretty much everything up until Madvillainy is a classic in his career though, while DD/BLT are still good.

so many mysteries surrounded his death - like, wasn't he supposed to have died some time before his family made it public?

he was born in the uk, grew up and lived in the us and then was deported later in life iirc

knew he was born in london, didn't know about the deportation though. any idea why?
― NickB, Thursday, 6 July 2023 21:13 (nine months ago) link
seems complicated but partially because paperwork was too expensive/never filed when he was a kid, and then a buncha stuff never went through as it should've when he was an adult, plus he kept getting arrested, seems pretty kafkaesque
