This is a superb collection of MF DOOM beats, probably my favorite out of all the special herbs CD's. 2 of the beats are off of King Geedorah, the rest I believe are new joints. Perfect for freestyling, or just lounging around the house to. C'mon dog it's MF F***ing DOOM, pick this up ASAP.

I've gradually gotten into the work of London-born MF Doom. This album, "Madvillainy" and his work with DJ Danger Mouse, "Dangerdoom" have been my introductions to his vast discography. So far, I've found his work to be both creative and innovative.

In "Special Herbs, Vols. 7 & 8" he puts together a groovy blend of hip-hop beats and soul with a fun touch of chillout that remains timeless. It's an album you will probably be able to listen to without any problem 20 or 30 years from now.

A definite five stars production, this album left me wanting to go back to hear more of the amazing music works by this hip-hop artist.

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.

Here is my Song by Song review of this new MF Doom album.The whole album is just beats by MF Doom."Safed Musli" has a sick beat as does the next track."Licorice" is a smooth track I forget who it was done by First."Sasparilla" is almost as good as the Previous one."Fo Ti" has some what of a Grimey beat.I have to ask why didnt MF do his own beats on Madvilliany.Every beat on here is Great for Freestyling or a joy for driving around the streets on a nice day. If your an MC get this

I recently purchased this cd from Amazon. The packaging and artwork are correct on the case and the actual cd. When I put the cd in it had 10 tracks and was actually a John Denver cd. A very odd anomaly hopefully, but just be aware that when these are pressed they are normally done in thousands at a time. There could be a bad batch of these that are filtering through.
