It eventually spawned 10 volumes, collecting beats from DOOM’s various pre-2005 projects (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.mom\/search?type=product\u0026amp;q=King+Gheedorah+Take+Me+To+Your+Leader\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eTake Me To Your Leader\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.mom\/search?type=product\u0026amp;q=Mm..Food\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eMm..Food\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.mom\/search?type=product\u0026amp;q=Operation+Doomsday\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eOperation Doomsday\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e and more). The influence of these tracks is ubiquitous in 2021 but it’s worth noting that at the time, a lot of the types of records DOOM was flipping in his beats were generally considered persona non grata in sampling culture… the likes of \u003cstrong\u003eHall \u0026amp; Oates\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003ePhil Collins\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eSade\u003c\/strong\u003e (yes… insane, I know) were considered too corny, too smooth, or too 80s to deserve a place on SP-12 memory disks; DOOM recognized this gap in the market and amassed a catalog of undeniably potent and highly-listenable beats. Fast forward to 2021 and this rulebook has been torn up several times over, but DOOM’s influence still looms large over the viral lo-fi beats and vaporwave trends of the past few years, almost as far-reaching as his influence as a rapper. We don’t stock many CDs at the Lab these days but the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.mom\/search?type=product\u0026amp;q=Special+Herbs+mf+doom\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eSpecial Herbs\u003c\/em\u003e series\u003c\/a\u003e has been a cherished CD vibe for us for a long time… something about the overall mood and sequencing of these beats really lends itself to the compact disc format. R.I.P. to a legend, we'll be wearing the shit out of these CDs and wiping them clean with our t-shirt for decades to come.
