[ID] Two photos. In the first, MF Doom, real name Daniel Dumile, a dark-skinned black man with a silver, geometric mask that reveals only his eyes and mouth, and a pair of glasses over the top, holds a pan of golden-coloured mac n' cheese in a small white baking dish.
The second photo is a recipe.
'MF Doom's Villainous Mac & Cheeze
We wish there were more rappers like Daniel Dumile. Back when he went by the name of Zev Love X, Dumile and his twin brother Sub Roc Made records as KMD, a near-perfect fusion of early 90's hip-hop. Their music was as wacky and open as a tongue-waggling gas face, and as militant and aggravated as the blows rained on jumping-up punks. They were signed by Elektra, but the label refused to release their masterpiece, Bl_ck b_st_rds. In 1993, with a career-defining piece of music stuck in limbo, Sub Roc died in a car accident. With his life seemingly in the shitter, Dumile did what most of us would've: He went to the park and got drunk for a few years.
In 1998, he re-emerged as MF Doom, a black, bastardized version of Marvel Comics arch-villain Dr. Doom. He dropped a beautiful album of painfully sincere,complex and sometimes hilarious stories laid overweird 80's R&B and "Scooby Doo" samples called Operation: Doomsday. Since then Doom's done great work with heavily blunted L.A. hip-hop producer Madlib, released several hazy instrumental albums in the Special Herbs series. His new full-length on Rhymesayers is the finger-licking Mm..Food. Arthur asked for one of the MF Doom house specials. Here's what we got...
5 cups cooked macaroni (approx. 4 cups uncooked)
1 minced fresh garlic clove
1 8 oz package Colby/Monterey Jack cheddar cheese
4 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Cook the macaroni until done as usual. Add sugar and garlic to water. Do not overcook it. Drain macaroni in strainer.
Place macaroni, butter, salt, pepper, milk, Colby/jack cheese, and three cups of cheddar cheese in a pot boil slow add bread crumbs.
Cover everything with aluminum foil and cook for 45 minutes at 350 degrees.
Uncover and add extra cup of cheddar cheese across the top. Bake uncovered for another 15 minutes.'
