Like his sometimes collaborator Madlib, MF Doom is a beatmaker and MC who always seems to have his (metal) fingers in several different pies at once. SPECIAL HERBS: VOL. 0-9 is a collection of hip-hop instrumentals drawn from various corners of Doom's laboratory, and while the artist's gruff, distinctive vocals and associative rhyming technique are missed, the beats and sounds included here should give hip-hop heads plenty to appreciate.
<p>Like much of Doom's work, the tracks on SPECIAL HERBS: VOL. 0-9 ride mellow, deeply grooved beats adorned with samples that are melodic yet slightly off-kilter. The tracks are generally short, but there are 80 of them spread across two discs, plus a 10-track bonus disc, making for a veritable treasure trove of MF Doom beats. In addition to its value as background chill music, SPECIAL HERBS will also prove useful to DJs and budding MCs who are seeking fresh tracks to mix and flow over.

- Burning the Herbs of Instrumental Greatness
MF Dooms super collection of beats is finally upon us. First the bad: the names are all messed up. All the track titles are wrong. SO, if you are just going to bump this masterpiece in your car or home stereo, no problem but if you are looking on iTunes for your favorite herb/beat, you'll come up with the wrong track. However, the good must be brought to all of ya'lls attention: It is the sickest instrumental CD in history. It is perfect for some freestyle sessions with the homies or with your lady (specificlly track 13, disk one). That's my two cents, and it'll be worth it to gather a couple to purchase the sickness that is the Special Herbs Box Set. CCow Out. 5 of 6 people found the following review helpful:
- Songs Mix but so do the titles
More than 80 songs! That was the first reason why I bought this wicked collection of MF Doom tracks! Instrumentals all come from special herbs 0 - 9 which I think is unreal since it all fits into 2 cds and plus you got a bonus cd with 10 hidden tracks. The only major flaw in this album is that the songs dont go according to the titles displayed in the inner flap of the cd case. For example, it says the song is played on the first track but it is really played on the 8th track. Really confusing but other than that...4 stars! 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful:
- For Beat heads!
This set is pure instrumentals. Most of the beats are chill, some stand out more than others. They are easily recognizable as MF DOOM beats, they use samples from diverse sources, a notable beat is Humrush with a funky kermit the frog sample! The songs are shorter than their counterparts in the other cds, but thats reasonable. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful:
- good, but not what I expected
This album is pretty good, as you would expect from any madlib, metal fingerz, ect but falls short on the length of the individual tracks. All of the beats are only about half to a third of their original length. But if you do not own any metal fingerz and like hip-hop beats I would highly suggest this cd set. Also you might want to checkout rjd2 or dj shadow. - Metal Fingers!
Just relax to the beats man. Just relax to the beats. This is Jazz for a hip hop head. Perfection! |
