It’s tough to imagine Danger Doom’s core audience. Is it the hip-hop junkies that went crazy for Madvillainy and The Grey Album? Or is it the Adult Swim fans who think that Sealab is God’s gift to television? Truth be told, it’s probably a little of both. I’m not sure where the two groups intersect, but regardless, DangerDoom blow the division wide open. Marked by guest spots from Talib Kweli and Ghostface Killah, The Mouse and the Mask is a consistent album filled with clever rhymes, smooth beats and surprisingly funny sketches (courtesy of the Aqua Teen Hunger Force). Don’t let Shake get to you, Doom.
