''F.O.O.D.'', released under Danny!'s 1911 Music/Badenov Records imprint in 2005 (see 2005 in music), is the second full-length studio album from the American rapper/producer. The acronym "F.O.O.D." stands for "''F''inding ''O''ut ''O''ur ''D''estination" and, despite the depiction in the cover art, the album's content has nothing to do with any actual food or food-related themes (unlike MF Doom's second album, ''MM..Food''). The restaurant shown on the cover of ''F.O.O.D.'' is Bobbie's Diner, a 1950s-themed cafe owned by the Savannah College of Art & Design where Danny! was once a student. ==Overview== The album, which was pressed up in limited quantities, was significant for officially introducing the wise-ass/sarcastic and cynical persona of Danny!, now known by the alternative moniker and alter ego "D. Swain". This was largely in part due to the mixed criticism Danny! received for his debut album, ''The College Kicked-Out''. The jaded producer/MC took the feedback personally, openly lashing out on his critics throughout ''F.O.O.D.'' It was this, along with constant usage of self-deprecating lyrics that bordered on autophobia and smacked of depression, that made ''F.O.O.D.'' a far darker and more emotionally charged LP than its predecessor. ''F.O.O.D.'' saw a swift progression from the sound and style predominant on ''The College Kicked-Out''. Though still heavily relying on samples Danny experimented with different methods this time, even going as far as to scratch vocals into his songs with a turntable in a style reminiscent of DJ Premier. Employing new techniques to further disguise his sample usage signaled his maturation as a producer and gave him more acclaim within the hip-hop community. Danny!'s lyrics—which balanced topics from his indecisiveness and pseudoskepticism to social commentary about black America—were seen as an improvement over those found on his previous album. Presumably, the extra insight offered in his rhymes as well as the manner in which they were delivered was an effort to appease critics who deemed his prior efforts as "amateurish" compared to Danny!'s peers. However, many of Danny!'s lyrics on ''F.O.O.D.'' also contained a substantial amount of profanity and even chronicled graphic recounts of Danny!'s sexual exploits, making ''The College Kicked-Out'' relatively inoffensive in comparison. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「F.O.O.D.」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
