King Geedorah is an MF Doom side project. A drawing on samples from sources as obvious as Godzilla movies (specifically “Kaijū Daisensō,” titled “Invasion of Astro-Monster” for English release) to those as obscure as the closing theme from the original Gatchaman anime. Other notable samples include one from Just-Ice’s song “This Girl Is A Slut” which appears in the song “The Fine Print” and the original Dark Shadows theme song (which appears in two tracks), to say nothing of an inspired use of a Hall & Oates song opening, “Take Me to Your Leader” offers a diverse and yet strikingly coherent pastiche of cultural artifacts.

Of course, Doom himself raps but very little on this disc, but the “rap-by-committee” approach works so well that you’ll hardly notice the variety of styles, flows, and voices.

    @peppermintingum: Which one of the Ghidorah movies? They rebooted the series in the 90's. Man, I gotta find those old ones.

    i'm currently watching the godzilla movies, and my mind is blown every time I hear something that was sampled from it. Recently, I heard "food at last (mm..food)," "young man," and "time warp," in the first hour of the king ghidorah godzilla movie.
