what is actually wrong with Kool Keith?

[boogers]

i got into Ultra extremely late.. i think someone uploaded the poppa large remix on youtube back in like 06 and i thought that shyt was amazing (always wondered if he was throwing a shot at Rakim with that mic/joking bar)



anyways. for every great song hes got like 2-3 that make no sense, like him and Ghostface had the same drug dealer or something

and the skits... dear lord he has some of the most disturbing skits ive ever heard



like what the actual fukk is wrong with this dude? i know he told interviewers back in the day that he did time in Bellevue, but he also said that was a joke. but he is weird as hell. that last video above is just...

also... i hear about dr octagon and critical beatdown all the time, but no one ever talks about the four horsemen or the stuff with godfather don really. this was my fav on that album.. the beat is retardedly good, and the lyrics are phenomenal



is it schizophrenia? drugs? eccentricity? he seems cool but kinda dangerous, like if you let him sleep on the couch he'd eat all the crunchy peanut butter and cut his toenails on the carpet

this in particular makes me feel uncomfortable. "sex style, --- want it free.. they dogs drink my piss" like i am NOT trying to have this on at a red light

i didnt know they made a video for this one

man Ultra were some weirdoes lol

He’s thrived longer at being the weird rapper than an actual good rapper

All that said, Critical Beatdown is a classic

Breh is not scared to be himself lol. He’s just a funny eccentric guy.

yeah he has some amazing highs and some REALLY bad lows

but when hes on point theres no one like him

always loved the contrast in his and ced gee's deep ass voice... their voices remind me of toejam and earl lol

Keith is just out there creatively, and he seems like a funny dude. He's probably relatively normal person outside of music. Some of his concepts are a little strange but so are a lot of mc's when you think about it.





One of his most slept on projects was his shyt with Tim Dog, the Ultra album. He was just shytting on the industry and it was funny as fukk and then there's other joints like this where he's on his bugged out shyt

The back if the album has a bunch of wild aliases and shyt too, Keith is crazy but he's GOATED

lol i think that was the second video i saw of him. after poppa large. i was basically hooked immediately

The thing with him is, he is talented but he also just don’t give a fukk and he knows when he’s making the dumbest and wackiest shyt, hip hop nerds eat it up just because it’s bizarre and weird and “underground”

i noticed a lot of late 90s/early 00s backpacker stuff borrows heavily from or samples dr octagon in particular. you can hear kool keith samples all over funcrusher plus.

i know he did those dr octagon sequels for the money... they were awful lol

i really want this on vinyl but its not worth $1200 or whatever it was going for last time i checked

always thought the most random thing was when he did the Always Sunny dikktowel song (NSFW):

I own that vinyl. The Cenobites.

Fun fact. The first original pressing it's labeled as Cenobites with a U.

I see your posting his more outlandish work that could turn off new fans, but his fans like me love.

Have you heard this joint? One of the best New York Jazz rap records of all time



I'm grateful I got the chance to your with him in 2006.

Here's my joint with him

CLASSIX
