    Kool KEITH is the right spelling...

    ummmm try Ultramagnetic MCs - Critical Beatdown.... Dr Octagon is good... Matthew had a couple of great tracks on it from memory...

    Everything post Octogon is caca. Project Polaroid was halfway good, tho.

  • i like some tracks off Diesel Truckers.. and also Black Elvis was pretty good IMO

    matthew is straight up crap and everything after that is worse

    black elvis had some moments when I was 8 years dumber

    dr doom also had some fun parts but I haven't given that a spin since drunk house parties in 1999

    for sure cop critical beatdown though

    cenobites and the 4 horsemen era stuff with godfather don is def my favorite

    post octagon stuff has some tiny moments here and there. oh yeah, his global enlightenment DVD is pretty amusing. worth a netflix rental

  • Sex Style, Octagon, Cenobites, Masters of Illusion are the sure shots...

    I remember hearing an album a couple of years ago that he did with a sample based producer that I had never heard before that sounded pretty tight, anyone have an idea what that was?

    Sounds like project polaroid he did with producer tomc3.


    Tom3c just did Saga of the simian samurai with prince po. its pretty nice too.

    imo "big willie smith" ep
    was dope but you allready know that

  • Sounds like project polaroid he did with producer tomc3.

    yeah, that's it...that sounded surprisingly dope from what I heard. How's that Prince Po joint?

    Dr.DOOOM is my favorite joint from the Post-Octagon era.

    Masters Of Illusion is incredible. Kutmasta Kurt's production and Motion Man's skills =

    Matthew got some shit on there but its weird overall.

    KHM - is really good

    SpankMaster is a really really really good.

    ClayBorne Family is real good.

    Stay away from the Lost Masters stuff unless your a Head like me.

    I havent heard The Commishioner stuff and Project Polaroid is alright.

    The "bronx baybridge" (not sure that's the right title?) is pure ultras worth getting the lp for that track alone. Although it did come out on a 12" too...



    Like other people have mentioned the cenobites is essential.


  • SIRUSSIRUS 2,554 Posts
    yeah,i forgot to put the cenobites on that list of stuff i'd heard,but everything else is new to me.

    "You Live at Home With Your Mom"

    "Apartment 223"

    "Welfare Love"

    "Neighbors Next Door"

    That album is hilarious. If you are looking for
    slamming beats and insightful rhyming, then, no,
    this album won't do it for you - but if you want
    the twisted KK humor and wordplay at it's best,
    then Dr. DOOOM is worth owning.

    Now it's time to hurt your feelings as I upsets music industry fan
    Hey yo my man look at my hand they look human right?
    You think I'm a monster ill circus clown
    Not a specimen don't look at me funny when I come around
    A&R been tryin to figure me out for years
    Tryin to re duplicate me but they can't so they hate me
    While white boys run the head of black music with a Japanese assistant
    What does a Chinese kid know about the rap game? That's a shame
    As I see and watch on BET
    There's a million uncreative rappers tryin to be me
    I'm startin to feel like Jimi Hendrix
    when they covered the story who started rock
    Magazines put blankets over my interviews
    They don't wanna see me on channel 7 news, tellin the truth
    off the project roof, they always have secret spies with eyes
    Watchin me recordin my album, send in producers with wack tracks
    and DAT's, messin up my whole format
    Can you imagine somethin on the kneeboard with Con-Funk-Shun?
    With an alternative hippie kid from the record label watchin your back
    Talkin about, "Mariah Carey's funky,"
    Makin the average group buckdance like a barrel full of monkies
    While I break out to shoppin mall he's makin a quick phone call
    about my sound is too new and different
    I need to be regular like Dru Hill and a little more ill
    (Hey Keith, we want you to be ill) [/b]

    I don't know what I did with that record but I know I need to find a new copy.

    insightful rhyming, no

    yeah, I didn't mean to say that because it's
    hilarious, it's devoid of content. It's probably
    more heavy on social content than most of his stuff
    from that era, but in a way that's making you laugh
    too hard to really have a C&C Music Factory moment.

    Girl we been through a lot
    Every season I used to bug you out on the couch
    For different reasons, you thought I was crazy
    Catchin a Greyhound bus down South
    Collectin lightning bugs and bring a dead mouse in the house
    Holdin a fortune with a jar of termites
    I used to blast the Delphonics in a glowing room with black lights
    Colt 45 had me sportin a wig like Billy Dee
    I was a Melle Mel fan, always bumpin Run-D.M.C.
    We stuck together when one of my parakeets died
    You broke down and cried, for the love of animals
    I used to always cut the legs off a roach
    See if he'll stay there on a piece of tissue
    and give him a piece of toast
    That morning, he would wake up and be gone
    What, the insect had a ambulance?
    As a little boy eatin ice cream in the cold project apartment
    I used to see rats dance, my aunt used to lay down the poison
    and say, "Y'all makin too much nois[/b]
