Description

[Machine Translation] K.M.D.'s debut album, Mr. Hood, is the second release in the <Cold Slammin'> series of hip-hop classic reissues, along with K Solo's Time's Up. K.M.D. was formed in the mid-'80s by group leader Zeb Love X (now MF Doom), his brother Sub Rock, and the Onyx. The single "Peachfuzz," released in 1990, is a dreamy, almost dreamlike love song with beautiful piano and xylophone sounds and a woman's laughter. The song is still a hip-hop classic. On the other hand, the single's cover features their trademark illustration of a man's face with a cross on it, a symbol of black racism, and although it appears friendly at first glance, it actually contains a strong message. K.M.D.'s high level of originality, which blended a unique radicalism with humor, was already clear on this first single. Mr. Hood" was released with much anticipation, and it is a track with a sense of sampling material that is similar to that of Te La Soul, Tribe Called Qwest's Cree, and Native Tongue, as well as an interesting combination of the two, and the overall lighthearted groove that seems to reflect the youthfulness of the group. M.D.'s originality. The skit featuring the fictional Mr. Hood, who was created using a record of conversation materials for travelers, is filled with a sense of humor that is directly related to De La Soul's first album, "3 Feet High And Rlsing," and has an air of what one might call the <New School> in the early 1990s. <The lyrical aspect of this album is not only the humor, but also the sense of humor. Lyrically, the album contains not only humor but also many elements of so-called "black consciousness," and the influence of the Black Moslem philosophy of the Afrocentrism (=Afrocentrism) can be seen. The group has since met a strange fate, but their leader, Seb Love X, has been making noise in the current scene as MF Doom since the late 90's!

Description in Japanese

MR. HOOD / K.M.D.

ヒップホップ・クラシック再発プロジェクト<Cold Slammin'>シリーズの第2弾としてK・ソロ『Time's Up』と共に登場したのが、ロング・アイランド出身のヒップホップ・グループ、K.M.D.のデビュー・アルバム『Mr.Hood』。K.M.D.はグループのリーダー的存在であるゼブ・ラブ・X(現MFドゥーム)、その彼の実弟であるサブロック、そしてオニックスの3人によって'80年代半ばに結成。'90年リリースのシングル"Peachfuzz"は、ピアノや木琴の音色が美しく響く中に女性の笑い声が重なり、まるで夢見心地な雰囲気さえ漂うラブ・ソング。今だにヒップホップ・クラシックとして語り継がれる名曲である。その一方で、このシングルのジャケットには彼らのトレードマークとも言える男性の顔にバツの描かれた黒人差別の象徴とも言えるイラストが使われており、一見親しみ易く見えるものの、実は強烈なメッセージが込められている。独特の過激性とユーモアが混じり合ったK.M.D.の高いオリジナリティが既にこのファースト・シングルの時点で明確に打ち出されていた。万を持してリリースされた『Mr.Hood』は、テ・ラ・ソウルやトライブ・コールド・クウェストらのクリー、ネイティブ・タンとも通ずるサンプリング・ネタのセンスの ヌさや組み合わせの面白さがあり、さらに彼らの若さが反映されたかのような全体的に漂う軽快なグルーブ感がK.M.D.のオリジナリティにもなっている。さらに旅行者用の会話教材レコードを用いて作られたという、架空の人物Mr.フッドが登場するスキットからは、まさらにデ・ラ・ソウルのファースト・アルバム『3 Feet High And Rlsing』とも直結したユーモアのセンスが充満しており、'90年代初期で言うところの<ニュー・スクール>の空気感がダイレクトに感じ取れる。リリック面では、ユーモアだけではなく、いわゆるブラック・コンシャスな要素が多分に含まれており、ブラック・モスリムによるアフリカ会期の思想(=アフトセントリズム)の影響が見られる。その後グループは、しか言いようのない数奇な運命を辿る事になるが、リーダーのセブ・ラブ・Xは、90年代後半よりMFドゥームとして現行シーンを騒がせ続けている!!!
