Get The Box Set instead.......2006-05-20

Yes this is MF DOOM.

The Special Herbs collections are essentially instrumental-only tunes of what you have heard from MF DOOM / VIKTOR VAUGHN before and then some extra stuff that did not make it to the final cut and of course tunes that MF DOOM had being working on but had no place outside of an instrumental offering. Hence the name, Special Herbs! I would suggest that you search out a full MF DOOM collection and then get these supplements unless you are looking for instrumental-only hip-hop. If you are, then you have come to the right place.

Special Herbs: The Box Set is Special Herbs vol. 0-9. You get all five double albums for the price of two albums. So it is much better value.

so sick, you'll be in bed fo' days.......2006-01-11

This is an instrumental album, if you havent figured that out with the four previous albums. This cd is so good, it never gets old. The beats are very differnet from one another, let alone different from what you'll ever hear. It is also great (actually, its superb) for freestyling. Coltsfoot leaf is the best track, but they are all special (herbs) in their own way. Get this in your CD player now!

The Best Special Herbs yet!.......2005-11-08

It comes as no surprise that Metal Finger's latest addition to his Special Herbs collection is his best. MF Doom has evolved nicely over the years. His rapping and production has always been a step above it's predecessor. Here we have several untouched beats and instrumentals that Doom has backed on several of his proper albums, and some you may have never heard. Volume 9 kicks off with the pure beauty of "Vinca Rosea" and "Burdock Root", then dives into the familiar "Vervain" ("Beef Rap" from MM.. Food). "Bergamont" and "Untitled (Meditation)" are the standouts on volume 9, and "Peach Extract" is probably my favorite throughout. The last half is a little more funked up. This is ultimately the most unique ride Doom has taken us on, through his moody and relaxed production. His style is simply untouched and completely original. Underground hip-hop heads interested in hearing some quality hip-hop instrumentals should definitely check this release out.

Why Volume "0"? Why not "10"?.......2005-09-26

Sweet DOOM beats. Amazon says the artist for this album is Metal Fingers, but the other Special Herbs volumes are credited to MF DOOM. It was for this reason that this album can't be seen on the list of MF DOOM's albums when you look up "MF DOOM". Tee.

The track "Untitled (Meditation)" is phat as hell (it's the instrumental version of "The Fine Print" from Take Me To Your Leader by King Geedorah).
