Danger Doom - The Mouse And The Mask Vinyl 2LP

DangerDOOM’s The Mouse and the Mask remains one of the most inventive hip-hop collaborations of the 2000s, pairing MF DOOM’s surreal wit with Danger Mouse’s adventurous production. Released in 2005 to critical acclaim, the album debuted at No. 2 on Billboard’s Independent Albums chart and has since become a cult favorite, celebrated for its blend of underground rap and Cartoon Network-inspired absurdism. With guest spots from Talib Kweli, Cee Lo Green, and Ghostface Killah, the record showcased DOOM’s lyrical dexterity against a backdrop that was both playful and sonically daring. It also marked an early high point in Danger Mouse’s career, foreshadowing his later work with Gnarls Barkley, Gorillaz, Broken Bells, and production credits for artists like Beck, A$AP Rocky, and The Black Keys.
