Description
"Dr. Octagonecologyst is the 1996 underground hip-hop, concept album by Dr. Octagon, an alter ego of hip-hop legend Kool Keith (Ultramagnetic MCs, Dr. Dooom, Black Elvis, Dr. Ultra). Widely regarded as one of the best and most collectable underground hip-hop albums of the ‘90s, Dr. Octagonecologyst introduces the character of Dr. Octagon, a homicidal, extraterrestrial, time-traveling gynecologist, and surgeon. Kool Keith’s abstract lyricism explores themes of medicine, space travel, and more setting it apart from mainstream hip-hop while redefining underground hip-hop.
The outrageously offbeat humor and psychedelic storytelling gives the album a cinematic quality which is perfectly complimented by complex and moody trip-hop inspired beats produced by Dan the Automator (Handsome Boy Modeling School, Gorillaz, Deltron 3030). The Boom Bap beats are further enhanced by the legendary DJ Q-Bertwhose remarkable scratching gives the album its turntablism edge.
It's hard to exaggerate the role that Dr. Octagon played in revitalizing underground hip-hop. Dr. Octagonrepresented the first truly new, genuine alternative to commercial hip-hop and continues to gain popularity as a true hip-hop cult classic."
