droctagonAny fan of rap or hip-hop–even just plain ole’ music fans who dig innovation and experimentation–will love Kool Keith in all his incarnations, whether it be as a member of seminal rap duo the Ultramagentic MCs, the trippy Dr. Octagon or the homicidal Dr. Dooom. Kool Keith’s lyrical innovations really make him akin to a Beat poet in his willingness to chop up language like a chef at Benihana, flipping around bits of language, slicing & dicing words apart to draw in all sorts of flavor.

Wanna go to the show? Tell me your favorite line from a Kool Keith track in the comments. We’ll randomly pick a few winners to get a pair of tix to the show.

    I believe it is Doctor Octagon who is responsible for "Half Shark Alligator Half Man," perhaps the most brilliant hip hop song of all time. The title is the best lyric.

    "Now my helmet’s on, you can’t tell me I’m not in space…. "

    from Earth People on the freaky Dr. Octagonecologyst album.

    I’m gonna have to stick with 80s Kool Keith:
    "Your head is triangle / Like a mango"

    Although the spoken intro for Black Elvis is spectacular:
    "Why are you smirking up your face, making obnoxious facial scenes like I supposed to be scared"

    Best Kool Keith lyric – "Hold upright, I burn your anus with the purple light".

    REALLY hate to say this, but "Dogs drink my piss" from sex style is stuck in my head fairly frequently. GD i hate admitting that.
