Madvillainy is often cited as his best album, but once the discussion gets going there's always someone who names every record as his best.

Essential albums:

MF DOOM - OPERATION DOOMSDAY (1999)
doom had worked as zev love x in the 90s with the group kmd with his brother. brother died, group was dropped, and doom went indie and reinvented himself as mf doom. this was his debut release.

MADVILLAIN - MADVILLAINY (2004)
doom with the raps, madlib on the beats. arguably the best "underground" rap album of the past ten years. this album does the opposite of every rap formula: no hooks, no stupid 'obvious' lyrics about typical themes, no clean big radio beats, etc.

other key albums:
KING GEEDORAH - TAKE ME TO YOUR LEADER (2003)
VICTOR VAUGHN - VAUDVILLE VILLAIN (2003)
MF DOOM - MM FOOD (2005)
DANGERDOOM - MASK & THE MOUSE (2006)
MF DOOM - BORN LIKE THIS (2009)

He wasn't asking for that...

Deltron 3030 is p. much his best album, his solo work doesn't quite match up but I Wish My Brother George Was Here is considered a good album

deltron 3030 is the best rapper known to man kind fuck trying to find anything better.

yeah Deltron 3030 is great
Both Sides of the Brain is pretty cool too

>>21688472
do you actually say that in real life? i don't think i'd be able to respect someone as a person if i heard them actually shorten pretty much to "p. much"

>>21688498
No, I don't and it want me who said p. much either, I just saw my opportunity while scanning the front page. Sorry.

I Wish My Brother George Was Here is a great Del record. One of the funkiest hip hop records ever.

Everyone will tell you Deltron 3030...and there's a reason for that..pick it up.
