MF Doom – Operation: Doomsday LP Supply

Underneath his mysterious metal mask, MF Doom hides the cachet underground legends are made of. After his first group KMD s sophomore album Black Bastards was shelved by Elektra in 1994, and his blood brother Subroc – one half of the sibling rap duo – passed away, surviving frontman Zev Love X slowly mutated into the supervillain MC known as MF Doom, and the rap world is better for it.

The 1999 release of Operation: Doomsday marked MF Doom s official debut, reintroducing a mysterious figure who would soon become one of underground rap s greatest voices. Within it s 19 tracks, Operation: Doomsday reveals the confluence of DOOM s tragic past, personal interests and daring creativity. His clever rhymes and remarkable schemes stood out against the landscape, and every sound he touched – from cartoon theme songs, to 80s soul, to rap classics and more – got reinterpreted into something brand new and surreal. Decades later, MF Doom is still celebrated for all facets of his work and influence. In the face of tragedy, DOOM re-infiltrated the rap game on his own terms, and crafted an instant cult classic. Operation: Doomsday stands as a testament to the power of betting on yourself against all odds.
