As if producing for the Gorillaz wasn't enough animated mayhem for one lifetime, Danger Mouse is currently working with fellow cartoon aficionado MF Doom and Adult Swim on the latest in the Doom-plus-other-dude series, Dangerdoom. Doom is no stranger to extensive
backstories for his records (e.g. time-traveling Viktor Vaughn and intergalactic King Geedorah), but this is on some other, other shit. Apparently the protagonists of this concept record are two masked mice (Dangerdoom) who live in the same neighborhood as certain Adult Swim characters, some of whom will contribute to the record. It has not been disclosed if Meatwad gives some shout outs or MC Peepants drops a hot verse about candy, but this record is already guaranteed to be the strangest crossover since the Kid 'N' Play animated series. Adult Swim is fully behind this project (which we guess means they won't sue for samples), though how the record will be utilized on their program is unclear. What is clear is that Schoolly D, the man behind the Aqua Teen Hunger Force theme song, must spit a hot bar or two. It is so necessary.

All I ask is the Tom Goes To The Mayor and Family Guy fuckwads be kept far away from it.

great song, sounds a lot like Viktor Vaughn

The Mask with Ghostface just makes me wanna hear the forthcoming Ghostface/Doom album thats due out on Lex so much ..

this is pathetic... a tie-in with some cartoon shows is "some other, other shit"??

somebody do a GREY ALBUM of THIS where the "mash-up" is just that they TAKE OUT THE CARTOON STUFF.

i dunno.

i like cartoons. i like hip hop. i like this album.

the lightweight fun aspect is a pleasant change from the usual kinda lyrical content.

the collabs are all on very good. oh, and, of course this is a major profile release. Danger Mouse is big news these days, labels involved are gonna milk this for all its worth. which is great for MF is you ask me.

And why's everyone shitting their pants about all the cartoon voiceovers? This is like bitching about the whpsssh-clang swordfighting sounds and martial arts dialogue on a Wu-Tang album being from Kill Bill or Hero instead of a Shaw Brothers flick. The only thing distracting about the cartoon skits is that they're from cartoons I've seen; it's just Adult Swim stuff instead of Toho Studios dialogue or Fantastic Four voiceovers. It ain't a real dealbreaker for me. If Carl griping about wanting to hear some REO Speedwagon ruins this album for you, I can't do nothin' for ya, man.

And is anyone else's copy censored? I got sent a retail-looking freebie from Epitaph and I was crushed to find out that Space Ghost saying "are you out of your fucking mind?" was bleeped.

Anyway, the beats and rhymes on DangerDoom are really good but I too would love to hear an Adult Swim-less version.

I've heard all of them. This is the only one where the samples have bugged me.

ditto

big diff between "king geedorah" scattershot peculiarity and weirdo-voice nerd-monster thing saying "hyuck hyuck hyuck" and doing fifty seconds of nonner-nonner nonsense.

and i've only ever watched any adult swim once, four years ago, so it isn't that.

I think the problem here is the samples aren't *samples*; they're skits proper. Some work, some don't (like on most MF Doom projects), but the feeling is completely different - dialogue designed and properly recorded instead of stolen and awkwardly reconstituted.

OTM. samples don't bother me here at all -- if anything, i feel like they're mercifully brief. again, i have almost no familiarity with adult swim, other than Space Ghost.

i couldn't take Mm...Food? for more than 10 minutes at a time. i love this one on the same level as the Viktor Vaughn records -- which is to say, a lot.

Half of 'em are! The Harvey Birdman thing, "Black Debbie," the intro to "Space Hos," the robotic hymn of doom, etc. I do kinda wish Brak didn't show up on "The Mask" but his rendition of "Turn the Beat Around" makes me lose my shit without fail.

Shows what i know.

Grey Album was great
Ghetto Pop Life was great
The New Gorillaz was great
Danger Doom is great
Pelican City are great

He's 4 for 4, and thats not even including the production he's done for Prince Po and Sage Francis. Seriously, listen to those albums then tell me you'd rather listen to Scott Storch.

uhhhhh

The copy I just bought has got bleeps on it too. There was no advisory on the front cover stating that the version I bought was a clean version. Do all versions have the bleeps? If not how can tell which is the uncensored version?

Many thanks for any advice!

Lex censored, too? Wow. I wonder if the censoring is to mimic the bleeping on the Adult.Swim cartoons. It does seem a bit weird. I don't recall any censoring on Madvillainy, but I haven't listened to that in a long while - I'll have to check.

only thing i don't really dig about this album is old school; beyond that, it's dope.

i bought this CD for $1 at a friends moving sale.

anyway, i've been in a Doom mood again for the first time in ages.

This is mostly pretty good stuff.

but jesus christ these fucking cartoon guys are the most annoying shit ever?

AdultSwim can basically suck my dick I get so sick of ppl telling me to check out Metalocalpyse and all that other bullshit fuck it.

thanks for bumping this thread now I have an excuse to post this

haha ^^ was JUST watching that which i why i bumped this thread and dialed up dangerdoom

looking forward to "Drinky Crow Show" samples in future installments.

I would also bet a million dollars on DOOM over Lil Wayne (even tho Weezy is a fucking inspiration)...
