Viktor Vaughn - Vaudeville Villain (Gold Edition)

Legendary MC MF Doom opened up a lyrical wormhole on this classic 2004 LP, long out of print but now avauilable again in a limited edition, hand numbered, triple gold vinyl pressing, with an extra bonus disc of instrumentals and accapellas, including the very rare ‘Saliva’ instrumental produced by RJD2, and previous CD-only tracks ‘Open Mic Night’ and ‘Change the Beat’. The original artwork is updated with gold tinted lettering, and the whole thing comes packaged in a thick clear plastic jacket. This concept album evokes plenty of high comedy and street technology. Next-school beats by King Honey, Heat Sensor, Max Bill and RJD2 move freely in the spaces between electronica and hip hop. Take a trip back to the origin of the Super Villain. An unanticipated time travel-machine breakdown left him stuck in the early 90’s where he has no choice but to battle sucka MCs and carry out side-hustles so he can repair the time machine and go back to the future. King Honey rips rock and roll as much as repping Philly Soul. Heat Sensor’s bastard beat style borrows equally from electro, jungle, and modern composition. Max Bill’s eyes are always linked to his ears so his beats are like drawings. Riduculously limited so get your order in now.
