MF Doom "Ballskin"



A couple two, tree years ago. Maybe four? it seemed like MF Doom couldn't be stopped. He was rockin aliases that put out a massive amount of tunes that turned the underground urban music world upside down. Guest spots. Special Herbs instrumentals in volumes. Dude was (I cringe typing this)a hip hop juggernaut. Then things got weird. He was accused of both lip-synching his live shows and even sending impostors in the Doom mask to lip-synch his live shows. Pitchfork says he cleared all that up. Either way, somewhere in the mix, I sort of lost interest.

But dudes back with a new track, so I'm listening. It's called 'Ballsack'. I know what that is. The song doesn't remind me of mine, but maybe MF Doom's is different. It's a 90 second diddy that sounds like classic Doom. Which still isn't boring. You can find it on his MySpace Music Player. This will be on his upcoming record 'Born Like This' due out this year on Lex Records. This reminds me - I need to revisit Madvillian + remixes.
