At first I was a bit unsure as this is the follow up to the now legendary Dr Octagon LP. However, since playing this LP through again recently, I really cannot say enough good things about it! Kool Keith's rhymes are really funny, the production is absolutely spot on, this is raw unadulterated, proper "Hip Hop"; this is the kind of LP which goes to show just how totally off target a lot of mainstream hip hop is nowadays.
At the time i also remeber being a litte unmoved by the LP when i picked it up back in '99 .Whilst thinking it was alright still back then -i was bit underwhelmed by it . Maybe ppl like myself were wrongly expecting an Octagon MK 2 album or something , especially as this album seemed to have a "Dr" persona again.
Having said that - over time it has probably become one of my fave things Keith put out .
Lyrically darker than Octagon , less sex obsessed than Sex Styles ( ..er..of course) .
The production of the LP (kutmaster kurt) is great -dead simple - bare bone beats really - yet very fresh and punchy .. still today.
Keiths rhymes are really top notch here -Keith and whole Dr Oct thing did verge on gimmicky rhymes -here you still have some of the twisted humour of Oct but with some added darker weight with pissed off disses more reminicesnt of latter Ultramags.
Anyhow top LP
