Album Description The industry has churned out many rap stars during the last few decades, but it has delivered very few Hip Hop super heroes and only one Super Villain. MF DOOM, is definitely underground Hip Hop?s most mysterious entity, and his alter ego, VIKTOR VAUGHN, is even more shadowy. The faceless rhyme scoundrel has returned to bring a new era of cyber rap with "VV:2" aka "VENOMOUS VILLAIN." "VV:2" is a different kind of Hip Hop record; it?s engulfed in cryptic messages and stellar production that delivers both a classic Hip Hop vibe and a cutting edge one. Vaughn is also accompanied by some underground contenders including KOOL KEITH (aka Dr. Dooom, aka Dr. Octagon, etc.). The synthesized, beat-burned "Doper Skiller" delivers Hip Hop?s two cult favorites bringing lyrical carnage like only they can. VIKTOR is in prime lyrical form, continually bringing verbal onslaught and dark dramatic tales of blight from outside the space-time continuum. Personality #1, DOOM, also makes appearances on tracks including the high energy, electro-hyped, "Pop Quiz" (Extra Credit Remix). What is "VV:2"? Among other things, it?s a dramatic, progressively thugged-out, future-rap, classic soundtrack for fans of a genre without boundaries. Similar CDs

CD ReviewsThe Van Gogh of Hip Hop cut his ear off! Marcelle D. Ward | Kirkland, WA | 09/06/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "Whether Zev, MF Doom, or Viktor, Dumile slams it on the mat when it comes to lyrics. I don't care what I've heard him on, what beat he rhymed to, he came off as the Boss. Kool Keith is my favorite, but Keith is not the beat miner that MF Doom continues to be. Even though he did not produce this album, it's still amazing. All I can say is "Bloody Chain"! Dope, no question. Not only is the beat nice, but Doom rhymes like Dr. Suess on acid, creating such an absolutely real scene that it makes me think it really happened. How his girl "studdered" and told him to "pppull out before you bbbbust" made me laugh with the glee of a 6 year-old. Not only that, Poison Pen steps in to tell the story of the guy who Viktor robbed, as well as the one who stabbed his girl. A beautiful beat that works like a Danny Elfman soundtrack to bring atmosphere to the song. Throughout the album, though a little less than 40 minutes long, you realize brilliance. It is well worth the money. Every track is a bomb of lyrics, energy and beats that explode through woofers and tweeters to shake the foundation of hip-hop. Let me say that this is a definitive work, not only for Doom, but for the genre itself. It's another step in the right direction." Good 2nd effort, Great guests, Doom coulda rhymed more J. McQueen | 08/20/2004 (4 out of 5 stars) "Good second album from MF Doom's alias Viktor Vaughn. Strange lyrics, strange beats. (What you already expect from the Metal Face Villain.) (Samples come from everywhere.) Like the first V.Vaughn album. All of the tracks are produced by other underground and up-and-coming producers and has guest appearances by other rappers on the Insomniac label. (But don't be fooled -- Manchild on the album is a different MC from the Manchild in Swollen Members.) *Also, finally the mad villain meets the insane MC - Kool Keith (Dr. Dooom, Dr. Octagon, etc.) Probably the best track. Great rhymes, kick @ss beat (using an old KRS-1 sample "you've got to have style"), and great scratches. The album's excutive producer is IZ-Real (who also rhymes on a track), who also brought the world - MIC PLANET SESSIONS and DRASTIC JUNGLE (hiphop meets drum and bass album). And the album, as many of Doom's releases is enhanced *The only thing that I hated (and why I didn't give it 5 stars) was that the album was short and like the King Geedorah album, Doom doesn't rhyme enough. The album is 32 minutes and 53 seconds, and Doom only rhymes for 9 minutes and 30 seconds on the whole thing! (Damn.)" VV2: The Future OverTheMoon | overthemoonreview@hotmail.com | 05/04/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "This is just as good as Vaudeville Villain. As we already know MF DOOM as Viktor Vaughn in Vaudeville Villain is well worth having in your MF DOOM collection... heck any collection. Everyone listens to MF DOOM after a bit of hip-hop, and as was Vaudeville Villain, Venomous Villain is like some sort of a freakstyle DOOM with live sections recorded at various gigs mixed in with some of the most original hip-hop heard this 21st century. Not only can DOOM rap with some awesome lyrics but his backbeat mixes is like he has hijacked the brain of Aphex Twin and plugged it into his beat box and pumped it through some DTS and then ripped everything up a number of notches with Dolby Digital 5:1 while MCing with some serious grooves that make you think you are in downtown neo-Tokyo. It is all very far out spacey wisdom. This is the future of hip-hop."
