Free Music Notes for Dr. Octagonecologyst
Free Music Review: Kool Keith's Twisted Perspective
Hit: 4 Stars
I'd like to first address that even though Dan The Automator handled the production on this album, that doesn't mean it's going to sound anything like Deltron 3030. That's a whole different league, folks.
"Dr. Octagonecologyst" is an album from one of the many alter egos of Kool Keith, a member of the Ultramagnetic MC's. But this isn't anything like Kool Keith has ever done. This album helped to establish the dark, demented side of rap. Kool Keith was a patient at Bellevue Hospital Center, which he claimed as an inside joke, but nonetheless, this was a great influence on this album.
The lyrics are X-Rated and usually deal with the human anatomy and other abstract and sadistic details. It can be too much for some, but if you dig this style, you'll love what Kool Keith has to offer. The flow isn't super spectacular, but it gets the job done. If there's anything I enjoy most about this album, it's the production. It's a completely different perspective for Dan The Automator, with dark and spacey beats meant for this, along with scratching provided by Q-Bert. DJ Shadow even appears on "Waiting List" for a little surprise.
This isn't an album for the feeble minded, but if you want something that breaks away from your average hip-hop, then by all means check this out.
Dr. Octagonecologyst Poster
Maybe it was that downtime at Creedmoor Mental Hospital, but after he tuned out following the breakup of the hardheaded seminal hip-hop group the Ultramagnetic MCs, something must have flipped Kool Keith's wig like a mescaline pizza. I can think of no other way to explain the mutant birth of Dr. Octagonecologyst. Literally assuming another personality on this record, Dr. Octagon--Kool Keith on the mike, with Dan "The Automater" Nakamura producing--transmits unearthly rhymes like tractor beams to your cranium. Then he squirms around in there, grabs some Vaseline from your medicine cabinet, and does a little dance. The first time you listen to cuts like "Earth People" and "Blue Flowers," you might have to change the way you listen to hip-hop. The standards are the same--verse, chorus, verse, with plenty of nasty skits in the middle--and there are electro-beat shades of his predecessors, such as Afrika Baambaata, but the wordplay and beat compositions are truly light years from most hip-hop. Listening to this album is like trying to read the glyphs from Stargate. --Todd LevinDance & DJ Music CDs
