King Geedorah was an MF DOOM side project. A concept album drawing on samples from sources as obvious as Godzilla movies (specifically "Kaijū Daisensō," titled "Invasion of Astro-Monster" for English release) to those as obscure as the closing theme from the original Gatchaman anime. Other notable samples include one from Just-Ice's song "This Girl Is A Slut" which appears in the song "The Fine Print" and the original Dark Shadows theme song (which appears in two tracks)

Of course, DOOM himself raps but very little on this disc, but the "rap-by-committee" approach works so well that you'll hardly notice the variety of styles, flows, and voices.
