Operation: Doomsday has gone down in the annals of hip-hop history as an oddity, and an essential underground rap album. Doomsday introduced the world to Doom's style of stream-of-consciousness rhyming, abstract wordplay, and refined delivery, coupled with bizarre and off-kilter production and beats, (Courtesy of Doom himself) that were unlike anything hip-hop had ever heard before. Through heavy bootlegging, Doomsday would over time emerge as a true classic. Since its release, Doom would go on to massive critical acclaim and success, working alongside hip-hop visionaries as Madlib and Danger Mouse, (Under the banners of Madvillain and DANGERDOOM, respectively) and celebrated contemporaries like Ghostface Killah, Masta Ace, Talib Kweli, and many more.
