dr octagon - dr octagynaecologist

so every couple years i refind this gem, yes, refind.
find it a second or third time, you know. re-find.
yuck, what a fuck show this write up is already.
anyways, i love kool keith, spankmaster is on the mount rushmore of rap for me. no he isn't. jesus, fucking god what is this? its been 3 weeks since i've done this and the wheels are falling off and fucking each other on the ground. anyways for those of you who don't know keith then i guess you're not white and not pretending to like rap. keith to me has 3 great releases, this

so yeah, keith has an alter ego on this release, dr octagon, which is ironic because this is probably his best selling release and then he changed his name back to kool keith after, previously being known for a rap groupWHOGIVESASHIT

anyways it'd be like a guy from a band leaving a group releasing his best effort under a different name then changing their name to avoid success. i'm trying really really hard to think of a floor/torche joke here but i pass, i guess i'm really out of it if i can't make a torchefloor joke... odd

keith on this album, becomes dr octagon a "extraterrestrial time traveling gynecologist and surgeon" one who doesn't rhyme or make any real attempt to string together coherent thoughts. i guess this is one of those hybrid albums that connects triphop and alt rap and all other sorts of horse shit music i hate individually but like in this album. the producer of said album is dan the automator, which means nothing to me, ps at this point you might have more luck reading the wikipedia then read my shit interpretation of it. think of it like deltron 3030 version 1.0, as it had the same producer and the whole future science fiction rap concept. and i guess it comes down to a matter of opinion. 99% of the world prefers deltron and i like octagon.

oooooof... a lot of people have heard of this album, i'd say it was polarizing if i knew anyone else's opinion of it, but to be honest like with most rap and with having nelly in my top 10 rappers of all time list i don't really give a shit about other people's opinions about rap, and i refuse to call it hiphop.

so if you like psychedelic music, science fiction, porn, drugs,(jacis wet) and rap then i would get this, i love this fucking album and its been top 5 for me all time rap cds.


2 things:

1 i'm selling my ocean - precambrian lp, i never listen to it and i'd rather have $ over it
2 i need a copy of calexico - convict pool, in mp3 form,

the second is a request and the first is just an announcement, i wouldn't expect any of you to buy it, i'm just bored and talking myself into it. its getting to the point where i have too many records i never listen to, which is upsetting in its definition. sometimes i feel like the bands can't release enough records (except for torche who can't fucking stop)


ahhh... there it is.
