Kool Keith

This guy is all over the place. IMO one of the most entertaining hip-hop figures. I'm mostly familiar with his Dr. Octagon material, but I've recently been listening to his other stuff too.

Here's a couple of his songs:

I really love the scratching at the end of this song.

I've only heard the Dr. Octagon album, but it's pretty great.

for a good laugh check out "Lost Masters, Vol 1"

kool keith will always be my favorite mc... totally unique for the majority of his career

Keith wins on so many different levels. He is indeed one of the best mc's to ever live. Most hip hop/rap fails to do anything for me because of my love for this man's music. Thanks for ruining almost a whole genre for me Keith, it has been worth it. PUMPERNICKEL BREAD, Keith runs rap!

dr dooom

Nobody ever wants your pumpernickel bread.

I love me some good old fashioned non-sequitur.

My love for Kool Keith was reinvigorated some months ago when that 'fridgerator vid was posted.

I like his tech references. Even when he was in Ultramagnetic MCs you can hear him clearly say "figuring out midi channels" on the track "When I Burn" way back in 1988.

The only motherfucker good enough for Goz.

I'm not a huge fan TBH...I only have his Dr. Octagonecologyst tho..maybe gotta check out his other shit

One of the best of all time.

Definitely check out Dr. Dooom 1 + 2

Black Elvis is another classic. Damn.

And it might be cheesy, but I love this remix of Poppa Large

Kool Keith is the Aphex Twin of rap and modern day Shakespeare

First come, first served is a goddamn classic. If I wasn't on my phone I would post so many links.

Yes, I love them too.

yeah dr. dooom, sex style, octagynecologist. such good stuff, great mc.

SPACE DOODOO PISTOLS!

does anybody have links to him freestyling? i think my favorite song of his is still 'no chorus' from 'first come first served'

"the mixdown ain't right, shit don't sound right, the vocals are too low"

or 'rockets on the battlefield' from 'black elvis'

Give me them passes to the James Brown concert

Front row seats at least, please don’t bother me I need peace

nice nasty off of total orgasm 1 is just so fucking funny awesome
