Special Herbs 9 & 0

A killer boxset. I have to fault it for some subpar packaging, mine is coming apart. You'd think a box set would put together a little nicer. I didn't realize this came with a 7" until about a year after I purchased it and out popped a little 7" that was wedged way in the back. Very cool! The download sucks because all the tracks are numbered in the title it is a huge pain to go through and rename them all. And when will labels finally realize that people who buy vinyls are interested in higher quality recordings than MP3?? I want to start getting some FLAC or other lossless options with my vinyl purchases! Maybe one day they will start to introduce that. Otherwise, I am happy. The vinyl is quiet and pops and clicks are at a minimum here plus the high quality heavyweight pressings make for a nice quality feel.

Literally a Masterpiece of chilled out beats. This little 3 cd box set is straight fire. Any Metal Fingers fan, this is a must have. If you're like me, love instrumental beats/hip hop, support Doom and purchase the album. All you need to do is insert cd, take a toke or two, and press shuffle. Let them chill vibes hit. Don't forget to turn it up 🤙

My most expensive purchase and thankfully a purchase I made that I did not regret. It came in a box bubble wrapped with care. It also arrived early than expected which was a nice treat. This is the compilation of instrumental tracks MF DOOM realised over a series until 2006 when this came out in limited printing. You even have instrumentals as bonus tracks from the album Black Bastards. This is worth what I paid for since I got to enjoy almost 5 hours of music in a 3 disc set. Check this out when you have time to kill.

I got this and I have loved all these tracks from him and it was awesome man, I stayed outside for a long time with this on a nice summer day, just chilling and bumping these beats. I should say it's a 3 Cd set, no 9 cd's, it's gathers though all of them for a nice mix, and the album art is dope. This cd is FRESH! Jus remember ALL CAPS when you spell the man's name!

This box set delivers on every level. It's just an amazing collection of wicked DOOM beats, all of which have that mellow feel to them like you could listen to them forever. You'll recognize a lot of the beats from his work but there is also a lot of "new" stuff on this box set. All of the tracks are amazing and each disc flows well giving off a real cool vibe. A real must have for any fan of DOOM or hip-hop

Why are all the tracks out of order/misnamed? Very frustrating. MF DOOM killed these beats though so it's all good. It's just annoying to reference a beat by one name and then to see the box set you just bought references it by another. Plus I want to be able to look tracks up on whosampled, which is nearly impossible with this box set.I want to know if MF DOOM did this on purpose? Or is it a colossal screw up? My theory is that he did it on purpose in order to keep us from looking up what he sampled for each track. Or he was twisted when he signed off on the whole box set thing and messed up the track names and order.

You simply can't go wrong with MF Doom instrumentals. Whether cleaning house, lounging, reading a book, or entertaining guests, his beats hit all the right notes. The Jazzy boom bap style is mellow, but not too much so, and the lack of lyrics make it perfect for concentration (or possibly for someone who doesn't care for rapping). Quality vinyl with a bonus 7 inch. What's not to love? Long live instrumental hip-hop!

Not so good recording. Example Coffin Nails has the guitar cutting in and out. Did they just capture one speaker and pump it through both speakers? I wouldn't buy the CD. BUY THE VINYL! It will blow your mind and worth every extra cent. 2 stars because MF Doom is awesome, but I wasn't a fan of the CDs.

This instrumental album shows Doom at his consistent creative best, there's nothing featured for a Doom fan to dislike. No raps from the man himself, but you will find some sampled speech on the tracks "Vervain" & "Peach Extract", the track "Coca Leaf" samples women singing. It takes some working out because some of the tracks appear on different Doom albums under different names. Great production and a marked difference especially when compared to a lot of the so called Hip Hop that's around today. A "must have" for an avid collector, don't sleep on this.

This compilation CD is honestly epic, think I got a new favourite here... Gonna have this on for weeks! Timeless. If you've even heard of MF DOOM before, or you're a fan of his or of hip hop or jazz in general, you'll love it. Bought it on a whim after hearing the previews of Vol. 1 on iTunes and thought screw paying £7 just for Vol. 1 when I can get them all for £15, and with a bonus CD too, not part of the Special Herbs compilation.Seriously good. Would recommend you buy it, if you're on this page already, you'll love it.

This collection of instrumentals is essential for any fans of DOOM and producers who want inspiration. There are many familiar beats on this while others are not so recognisible, but DOOMS genius sampling and drums make it an enjoyable and fascinating experience throughout. A must have for anyone interested in making beats or just people who love the super villain.

MF Doom ha fatto di meglio. Queste basi strumentali dopo un po' diventano un po' troppo ossessive, considerato che manca la parte vocale.Anche perché non stiamo parlando certo delle basi multilayer di Pete Rock o produttori del genere raffinatissimo. Sono basi piuttosto scarne e ripetitive. Certo, possono essere interessanti in piccole dosi. Più interessanti erano le versioni uscite nei volumi originali delle Special Herbs. Questo cofanetto le raccoglie tutte ma in versione abbreviata e le poche che si distinguevano qui vengono tagliate brutalmente per fare entrare 9 volumi in 2 CD.Il terzo CD comprende basi strumentali prese dall'album dal vecchio album dei KMD "Black Bastards".Un po' noiosetto. Utile per chi cerchi dei beats o cerchi di capire come farli. Non certo un disco da ascolto.

Also wer hier nicht zuschlägt, ist selber schuld. Für den Preis kann man fast nicht mehr bekommen. Insgesamt 3 CD's voll von feinstem Instrumental - Hip Hop. MF Doom zeigt, dass er nicht nur ein richtig guter MC ist, sondern präsentiert uns hier ausschließlich Beats. Einen Vorwurf kann man vielleicht machen: Alle die sich die Special Herbs Reihe bisher einzeln gekauft haben werden wohl etwas verärgert sein. Denn nun bekommt man 1-9 in einer Box präsentiert. Für alle anderen, die auf den Sound von Doom stehen, ist dies eine dringende Kaufempfehlung.
