Amazon.com The problem with being recognized as a creative genius is that you've got to live up to it 24/7. Kool Keith was given such a mantle upon the release of the Dr. Octagonecologist album, and it's not something he seems happy about: on the first track of First Come, First Served, he--as Dr. Dooom--kills Octagon. It's the perfect move for Keith, and it sets the tone for the album, which is a mix of humorous tracks ("Neighbors Next Door," which asks you to imagine having Keith and Jacky Jasper living in the next apartment, and "You Live at Home with Your Mom") and songs on which Keith lays down the law ("No Chorus" and "Leave Me Alone"). Few MCs could hope to match Keith, but here--rapping over knocked-off Octagon grooves (produced with Kutmaster Kurt, they're still more innovative than most) and settling lots of personal scores--he sounds like he's just trying to get a bunch of ideas out of his head as quickly as possible. Still, there's an amazing EP's worth of material here, but it's spread over a full album. Minus the filler, Dooom might just be Octagon's better. --Randy Silver Similar CDs

CD ReviewsHere are some sample lines. Elliot Blake | Pittsburgh, PA | 10/25/2006 (4 out of 5 stars) ""Bound to eat a german shepard in the Mojave desert." "I'll penetrate your Gap jeans with Black & Decker machines." "We stuck together when one of my parakeets died."" Doooooooom! JustBeing | 10/21/2007 (5 out of 5 stars) "If you like Keith this is a no brainer. Buy it. On this album his beats and lyrics fit together better than most of his other cds." Classic! George | 02/14/2008 (5 out of 5 stars) "I've prolly listened to this CD more than all my others combined. It never gets old - just gets better and better. No other CD I've owned is like that. You get tired of them over time. Not this one. Here it is, seven or eight years after its release and it's STILL in my changer. One of the magazines, I think it was Spin, said that Keith is to Hip-Hop what Sun Ra is to jazz. It's a fitting description. That said, it's an acquired taste that isn't for everyone."
