Been listening a lot to the new Danger Doom album, a collaboration between MF Doom and Danger Mouse, with guest appearances from Cartoon Network characters. It’s as bizarre as it sounds, believe me.
The thing that strikes me the most with it, and there’s a lot to love, is how completely off the hook Danger Mouse’s beats are—there’s some serious crunk in the trunk—and it was the same, actually even more so, with the Gorillaz album. These are songs that force me to dance wherever I hear them, in the car, on the couch, in the headphones. There’s one specifically, Benzie Box, that almost makes me sick. Just crazy, listen to it. Jesus.
Including his (easily top 5 album of the 2000s) Grey Album, now we’re talking three over-the-top albums in a single year. How fantastic is that? Is Danger the next Timbaland?
I agree. Completely rad album. My favorite track musically is Old School with Talib Kweli.
My favorite cartoon network appearance is Carl and Meatwad in the ATHF song.
I agree that Benzie Box song is pretty awesome, one of my favs as well.
