- Previously released as 10 seperate volumes, this box set chronicles the entire series of Special Herbs instrumentals, seemlessly blended together into two 75 minute mixes by DOOM himself.
- MF Doom - Special Herbs Box Set Deal? I was looking through vinyl on urban outfitters website and came across this deal on MF Doom's Special Herb box set for $19.99. According to the description this is the 10xLP collection but the picture seems to be different.
- This is a continuation of the Hidden Herbs Vol. 1-2 bootleg that was uploaded on DatPiff back in 2009. I was hoping to upload it to DatPiff as well, but it looks like there are some technical difficulties with the captcha code that’s preventing me from registering or signing in, so I’ll have to make do with Zippyshare for now.
MF Doom’s series, Special Herbs, began in 2002. Now the series is being made available on vinyl for the first time in long while. Hip hop’s most enigmatic figure, the man in the iron mask, has scattered his seed far and wide, working with the likes of Gorillaz, De La Soul and Wu Tang Clan among others and earned high praise from Mos Def. This limited edition 10-piece vinyl box set compiles the entire 10-volume Special Herbs series, much of which has never before been available on wax packaged in metallic silver jackets.
Limited Black Friday release.
MF DOOM is the man in the iron mask. The most mysterious figure in hip-hop has also become one of the most popular, supplying beats and rhymes for Gorillaz, De La Soul, Madlib, Danger Mouse, and Wu-Tang Clan, and drawing praise from heavyweights like Just Blaze, Nas, and Mos Def. Since 2002, MF DOOM has released numerous volumes of Special Herbs, one of the longest-running instrumental series in hip- hop history. With obscure loops and dusty samples galore, Special Herbs is a must-have for any MF DOOM fan or hip-hop head. MF DOOM’s Special Herbs series now available on cassette for the first time in a limited edition 5xCassette box set!

Hip HopBlack Friday 2017MF Doom may be best known for his buttery flow on the microphone, but he’s also a producer of the highest ability. His versatility on the mike is only matched by the sheer randomness he employs on the boards, a randomness that’s evident on the ten volumes of the all-instrumental Special Herbs series he’s released to date as Metal Fingers. This two-disc “box set,” released by Brooklyn upstart Nature Sounds, is more a sampler than its title may imply; it compiles mostly one- to two-minute snippets of beats featured on each of those ten volumes (which featured many of the productions he’s rhymed over on previous albums). But the story is the same: Whether sampling Fantastic Four cartoons or looping a flute over a chopped-up soul sample, there is an indelible freshness to Doom’s production.

Doom has been finding more notoriety as an emcee, particularly after teaming up with Madlib and Danger Mouse. But he is a master at layering loops and samples, highlighting one instrument over precise and knocking drums. On “Coffin Nails,” Doom channels his inner Rza, ushering a dark piano scale back and forth, neatly matched to bass-guitar riffs and staggered drums. In contrast, Doom gets dirty with his bass line on “Devil’s Shoestring,” delivering a funk track suited for Curtis Mayfield circa 1972.
With eighty-three tracks of material (including a bonus, third disc that includes unmixed, three- to four-minute instrumentals left over from Doom’s days in KMD), the leap Doom has made in terms of quality is evident as the set plays on. For the most part, the KMD beats are dated, conforming to that dusty low-tech mid-’90s sound. But the style he created with KMD is never abandoned; it’s only replaced by a cleaner and almost encyclopedic use of samples. Still, like any instrumental album, these beats are just pieces of a whole. Without Doom’s vocals, the true breadth of his skills can be lost.
With production credits on Ghostface’s upcoming Fishscale and an entire album with Ghost entitled Swift and Changeable near completion, Doom will likely continue to share the wealth among his colleagues in rhyme. In a year so far marred with sub-par hip-hop releases (minus Dilla’s Donuts), The Box Set is one of the best products on the block. Cycling through the three-hour compilation (the first two discs are sixty-minute mixes) can be a daunting task, but it’s well worth it to get high off Doom’s special herbs.
