FTC: Dr. Octagon
Usually we don’t do a lot of write-ups on hip-hop, but that’s mostly because we don’t know too much about it, but we do know about this guy. Kool Keith has been all over the place for years, sometimes as KK, sometimes as Black Elvis, but his most prominent persona for me is Dr. Octagon. His rhmyes are odd, and quite vulgar, but not in a “I just want to cuss a lot way,” more in a disturbed MC sort of way. I used to listen to the first record, Dr. Octagonecolgyst (the best in my opinion), all the time in college. For some reason, I just felt like travleing down memory lane with this record today. Blue Flowers!
How can you talk about Dr. Octagonecologyst without mentioning Dan the Automator? He was the real brains behind that album, and probably the reason for its success.
Great album, though. Can’t argue with that.
