Dangerdoom, Mouse and the Mask

Emma Warren: TV-inspired hip hop pair do it strictly for the kids.
  
  


Dangerdoom are two men. One, Dangermouse, comes fresh from producing Gorillaz's Demon Days and bothering laywers with his Beatles/Jay-Z mash-up, The Grey Album. The other, MF Doom, a New York MC and producer, is an all-round indie-hip hop fave. Their colourful rap gem is inspired by cult shows about third-rate superhero lawyers and giant insects on Cartoon Network's late-night programming. There are kaleidoscopic musical splashes and acres of clever samples, plus vocal touches from guests including soul singer Cee-Lo, ex-Wu rapper Ghostface and Talib Kweli on the brilliant single 'Old School Rules'. So who said TV was bad for the imagination?
