MF Borat (aka Sacha Baron Cohen and MF Doom)

BY Stephen CarlickPublished May 25, 2010

This one kind of came out of nowhere. Apparently, while comedian Sacha Baron Cohen was on the West coast promoting his film Borat in 2006, he had a chance meeting with enigmatic/infuriating MC DOOM (then going under the moniker MF Doom) and began a working relationship dubbed MF Borat.

After finding some mutual interests, the two got together for an impromptu recording session, during which DOOM rapped a pre-existing verse over a beat Cohen had made in 2005 with Khazak producer Kulki Boolchek. Later in the year, the two got together once again, and Doom unloaded a couple more verses onto three more of Cohen's beats, making for a four-song EP that may not be entirely new, but, hell, when it comes to DOOM, you take what you can get - especially when it sounds this good.
