The Kool Keith thread

Toilet & Bowels · 11.16.2009, 10:57 AM

I've been fairly out of touch with Kool Keith for the last 7 or so years, has anyone been keeping up with him in that time?

Are any of the any good?

i heard the claybourne family CD is pretty crap, noiseredux says Thee Undatakerz is good, I heard some of KHM on youtube and it sounded pretty decent.... what has everyone else heard?

noisereductions · 11.16.2009, 11:34 AM

of the ones you mentioned I have these:

KHM - Game (actually pretty great)
Lost Masters (meh)
Thee Undatakerz (I absolutely love it)
White Label Vol 1 (absolutely horrible)
Clayborne Family (basically KHM vol 2, but not nearly as good production)
Diesel Truckers (quite good, Kutmaster Kurt produced)
Personal Album (awful)
Execution One (pretty bad)
Dr Octagon Part II (released without his approval, but it's actually a pretty good compilation that cherry picks better songs from some of the crappier albums like Clayborne Family, etc)
Project Polaroid (actually pretty damn good)
Mr Nogatco (pretty damn good also)
Return Of Dr Octagon (it's okay, but nothing like the original)
Ultramagnetic - Best Kept Secret (this is horrendous. Awful. Worst reunion)
UltraOctoDoom (just an okay live album.)
Dr Doom 2 (maybe his best in years!!)

havent bought any of the 2009 releases. But as you can see, I still keep up pretty thoroughly, if not as obsessively as I once did.

narlus · 11.16.2009, 02:50 PM

the only one i've got is _Diesel Truckers_ and i like it. damn i had no idea he'd put out that much stuff.

even when you make an effort, it's easy to let something slip by you. I never heard of Idea Of Masterpiece for instance. And it looks like even though Earl compiled a very good list, I think he forgot 7th Veil's album.

ricechex · 11.16.2009, 03:50 PM

I have the Elvis one(?), didn't see it listed. The only one i have. Not a big hip hop guy, but that's a good one. "Lost in Space" may be a song title.

noisereductions · 11.16.2009, 04:02 PM

It's called BLACK ELVIS/LOST IN SPACE. It's from 1996 or so, which is why it's not included. The ones he listed are from the last 5 years or so. Basically, he was asking about more recent albums that were put out since he lost track.

wellcharge · 11.16.2009, 04:11 PM

i've heard that diesel truckers and prject polaroid are very good

Sex Style was 2001.

If those are the only 2 you have, you need to get:

Dr. Dooom - First Come, First Served

and

Dr. Octagon - Octagonicologist (I spelled that wrong)

those 2 combined with Black Elvis should pretty much hook you.

I know what he's asking, lol. But wow, didn't know it was that old.

nah, i said VERY good yr ratings were lower

i heard them from some guy who cares about nothing but rap and tells me how good every single album is. he'll often review a rappers discography for me at shows while i'm struggling to actually listen to that rapper

and he'll go up to every rapper after shows and start being like "who's doper,geto boys or NWA" "do you like kool g rap better than ice-t?" "who's doper pete rock or large proffessor"

repeat ad infinitium for years and you're sick of hearing about rap

jimbrim · 11.16.2009, 05:35 PM

Sex Style is older than Black Elvis, isn't it? I thought it was released around 96/97 and Black Elvis a couple of years later.

It seems like a tough job keeping up to date with the guys output. I've only really heard those two and The Return of Dr. Octagon (which I thought was alright), and my mate told me Dr. Doom 2 is a really solid album.

SpectralJulianIsNotDead · 11.16.2009, 06:43 PM

Doc Oc is my favorite rap album of all time.

I've only heard a bit of his newer stuff. Nogatco Rd is all right.
