MF DOOM

"Gas Drawls" (video)

BY Gregory AdamsPublished Jul 25, 2016

Seventeen years after introducing himself as the Metal Face Villain, MF DOOM has just announced another repress of his landmark debut, Operation: Doomsday. To celebrate this latest re-release, an animated video has been put together for album classic "Gas Drawls."

Prepped by Dustooned, the video finds a cartoon DOOM cavorting through city streets, either smoking stogies or linking up with identical twins. The vid also includes some smiley anthropomorphic beat-appreciators, a visual nod to DOOM's old KMD project, and the swaying, three-headed building first found on the cover of DOOM's King Geedorah LP, Take Me to Your Leader.

You can watch the Monster Island street scene for the Steely Dan-sampling piece via the player below.

The latest Operation: Doomsday repress is available now via Rappcats, while supplies last. The collection has been pressed onto red and black vinyl. You'll find more info on the release over here.
