However, disappointed fans aren't the only ones frustrated by Insomniac's slacking attention. Vaughn only gets THREE tracks to himself. Out of the eight actually songs, five are cluttered up with Insomniac up-starts that barely leave V a verse. To make matters worse, his record label, Insomniac, decided to dog pile every rapper on their roaster into the already stubby track list for promotion purposes leaving Vik barely any elbow room to rhyme. Out of a measly twelve tracks, four are skits! Making VV2 more of an expansion album than a real release. There is one huge problem circumscribing the Vik-ster's sophomore release, THERE IS BARLEY ANY VIK ON IT. Her nails were more faker than the letters on her purse Not a bad loss if your sure to suck her titty Used to come see me in the hood on the train "I had this one bitty, she gave good brain "Doper Skiller" features a waning Kool Keith who trades verses off Vaughn, who is sick "like mad cow kickin' in." Next, the Vik-ster cruises over the sullen melody of "Ode To Road Rage" like a sleep deprived truck driver. G.A.M.E." and "Dope Skill" are lighthearted, vintage rap ballads with a Madlib quaintness. It is an incessant progression that keeps the album constantly moving forward and gives its spectrum of producers a strange sense of cohesion. No beat seems to sticks around the whole song, no matter how good it is. This sort of intenerate beat shifting is something you should get used to on VV2.
These guys asking what your shell toe size isīut the hard, marching beat flips three times. Keep the mic sterilized - terrorize your eloquence "You on the battlefield with lyrical militants DiViNCi delivers a militant beat on "Fall Back/ Titty Fat" that Vik lyrically embellishes. The intro, "Viktormizer," starts off with a few-of-the-usual samples and some scratching before loosely mixing into "Back End." Right when the Vik-ster breaks in the beat shoots off on a spaced-out, drum crazy rhythm that sounds authentic to Vaughn's electronic panache. What you get is another estranged ensemble of neo-technoish beats that surprisingly mix together quite cohesively. A handful of producers were chosen, apparently by their ability to recreate the uncanny electronic sound that enigmatically marked Vik's first album. Production for VV2 was raffled off via a contest where the unrecognized record spinners of the underground could submit their best beats for a spot on the album. That is why Viktor Vaughn isn't a super hero, here to save the day for commercially coerced consumers, he's a villain.

These mischievous alter egos free the burden of having to be somebody. Men like the RZA and MF Doom are jaded of the mundane mainstream but get even more tired of having to be so damn political all the time as independents. In Doom's own words, "that's you if you want a dude who wear masks all day."īut being serious and proverbial all the time gets old, even to the artists. He is a parody of the artists who are pressured into acting a certain role, looking the image, and who basically wear a mask. By wearing a mask, and bantering to a cartoon image, he satirizes the record industry gimmicks. MF Doom is a political statement, almost a pun to the industry. Viktor Vaughn is to MF DOOM what Bobby Digital is to the RZA their teenage manifested Tyler Durden: the mischief-maker created to counter acts the serious, cynical Edward Norton-ness of being a independent artists. His younger alter ego, Viktor Vaughn, championed fans, rappers, and critics alike with his laconic, nonchalant flow and whimsical witticisms in "Vaudeville Villain." But it wasn't the Metal Faced Doom who laid claim to the crown. But he is just recently emerging as a fan favorite from his two latest releases: "Madvillainy," a coo-coo combo album with the cartoon producing Madlib and his alias album as Viktor Vaughn, "Vaudeville Villain." The former inched its way into the indie mainstream to sit proudly price-gouged around college campuses and even managed to win some serious stars in a feature review by Rolling Stone (surely out of its pure strangeness). Doom has been surmounting street credit from way back in his boyhood, beat breaking days on his "Special Herbs" mixes. If you don't concur at least agree he's the closest…maybe Royce Da 5'9" but he's really in-between leagues. If there was one acceptable underground king right now, it would be MF Doom. MF Doom is Viktor Vaughn :: Venomous Villain (VV2) :: Insomniac Records
