Rewind: Metal Fingers 'Special Herbs Vol. 4, 5, and 6'

It's no secret that MF Doom has a vast catalog of beats, so another look at his beats should not come as a surprise to readers. This post will cover the beats and samples from MF Doom's 'Special Herbs Vol. 4, 5, and 6' as Metal Fingers.

The Metal Fingers track 'Galangal Root' samples the huge breakbeat track 'Walk on By' from Isaac Hayes and the 1987 pop / R&B track 'Always' by Atlantic Starr from their album 'All in the Name of Love'. The beat was previously used by MF Doom on his track 'Gas Drawls' from 1999's 'Operation Doomsday'. 'Spikenard' from the album uses a sample from the Spinners' 1973 album 'Mighty Love': the track 'Ain't No Price on Happiness'. This track also appeared on 'Operation Doomsday' as the song 'Go with the Flow'. Doom samples Galt MacDermot on the track 'Cinquefoil', using the track 'Space' from his sought after 1969 album 'Woman is Sweeter'. The cut 'Valerian Root' samples New Birth's 'Do it Again' from 1974's 'Comin' from All Ends'. Finally, Isaac Hayes is sampled by Doom again for Metal Fingers' 'Patchouly Leaves' which uses Isaac's 'Our Day Will Come'. The instrumental backed 'Operation: Doomsday''s 'Operation: Greenbacks'.
