Nehruviandoom

"This latest hook-up between rising New York MC Bishop Nehru and legendary metal-masked producer and rapper MF DOOM neatly illustrates the potential pitfalls of collaboration ... Its best moment is the wobbly 'Om', and with the exception of Nehru's sing-song chorus on 'Mean The Most', DOOM would have been better off keeping these songs for himself. Interesting but inessential".

"Although MF DOOM is no stranger to collaborations, this is the first where he really takes the opportunity to showcase young talent - the Madvillain releases were a coupling of two greats, where this sees DOOM pair up with a relative unknown. The synergy between the two is jaw-dropping ... This relationship is a constant throughout - DOOM allows Nehru's rapping talent to shine abreast to his idiosyncratic production style. There is a real sense that DOOM has complete trust in Nehru's ability, dipping in vocally only on a couple of tracks. It is this relationship that makes the record such a success".
