Broken up into two acts, complete with intermission, Act 1 draws mainly from 2004’s MM..FOOD and Madvillainy, the latter of which Pitchfork called “one of the most anticipated releases in underground rap history” and “inexhaustibly brilliant.” DOOM breathes new life into tracks like Food’s “Kon Karne” and Madvillainy’s “Accordion”, constantly working the crowd while never letting his intricate, tongue-tying rhymes get the best of him live. After a “Star Trek”-themed intermission (don’t ask. Just listen), the man behind Vaudeville Villain, Born Like This and Unexpected Guests revisits his 1999 debut solo album Operation: Doomsday on Act 2. “Hey!”, which deftly flips the theme song from “Scooby Doo” and has become one of the rapper’s best-known tracks, dovetails right into the smooth “Rhymes Like Dimes” for a balance of the absurd and soulful. Listen closely at times and you’ll hear the audience recite every lyric along with the emcee. Also included on Act 2 are the 2003 single “Change the Beat” and an appearance by DOOM’s alter ego King Geedorah on “The Fine Print”.
