Deep Listening: Beef Rapp by MF DOOM

Our third Deep Listening video focuses on the late hip-hop legend.

Deep Listening is a new series in which The Vinyl Factory spins monumental albums and songs, both contemporary and classic, in the Devon Turnbull Listening Room at The Vinyl Factory: Reverb Exhibition in 180 Studios.

A meditative listening room created by New York artist Devon Turnbull and programmed by The Vinyl Factory, the space allows visitors to listen to music on a handmade, high-fidelity sound system. Its plush, minimalist interiors have enthralled visitors to The Vinyl Factory: Reverb exhibition and played host to events with The Blessed Madonna, Stephen O’Malley, and many more.

Four our latest Deep Listening session, we’ve been listening to “Beef Rapp” – the opening track from hip-hop legend MF DOOM’s fifth album Mm..Food.

Released in 2004 via Rhymesayers, the universally beloved Mm..Food is a food-focused concept album that showcases the legendary producer’s phenomenal sampling – influencing a generation of bedroom producers and hip-hop artists.

Listen to “Beef Rapp”, played on the Devon Turnbull sound system, above.

The Vinyl Factory: Reverb runs until February 2 at 180 Studios. Book tickets online.
