Kookies – Unwrapping the Layers Behind the Mask
In the cosmos of hip-hop, enigmatic characters are as common as 16 bars, but none quite captivate like the late MF DOOM. With his glutton for gastronomical wordplay, DOOM’s ‘Kookies’ off his 2004 album ‘Mm.. Food’ is a track that serves up a buffet of double entendres and clever references that go far deeper than a casual listener might chew. The song is a textbook example of DOOM’s prowess in blending abstract ideas with real experience – all while wearing his signature metal mask.
