Beautiful. This is beautiful. The Spanish producer, who had already expressed his appreciation for Daniel Dumile by realizing an entire project in Christmas 2018, "DOOM Xmas", makes a tribute after the death of the revered artist.
His tribute-album consists of ten very short tracks, divided between spoken skits extrapolated from interviews with MF DOOM and other artists, such as Mos Def and Madlib, and short tracks composed of some of his famous stanzas inserted over the lean rhythms chosen by the beatmaker. It's a simple tribute of a dozen minutes, Cookin Soul chooses a light and great jazzy boom bap production, with nice samples and robust and hard drums to accompany the dope flow of MF DOOM.
The cover is to be contemplated, fantastic: Cookin Soul pays homage to MF DOOM and some of his best works. The figure of the rapper himself in the center of the image, is a college of tributes, combining the gloves from "Operation: Doomsday" (1999), the mask from "Madvillainy" (2004), with the red gem in the center, I suppose to also pay tribute to "WestSide Doom" (2017), and the green sweatshirt from "MM..FOOD" (2004), an album that is also honored with the milk carton and the bowl of cereals under the painting with the houses, which from the original purple have gone pink. Then, on the right are also honored "Bl_ck B_st_rds" (2000) with KMD, again "Mm.. Food" and "The Mouse and the Mask" (2005).
In summary, unlike other shameful attempts, this is a worthy homage to one of the greatest MCs ever. 8/10.
