Grandmaster Caz, The Sugarhill Gang (Caz and TSG wrote Hip Hop’s first hit record) & Rakim are the most important MC’s and the 90’s was the best decade for Hip Hop…
He’s my favourite rapper and embodies everything I love about hip-hop: that creativity, humour, braggadocio, wordplay, flow and he can do it all while feeling so natural. A true legend.

I remember reading an interview with Kutmasta Kurt where he said Dr. Octagon started as a satirical take on Keith's Ultramagnetic style, which is why there's so many scat references. Edit: Found it: www.culturecreature.com/kutmasta-kurt-interview-kool-keith-legacy/
Despite all the many aliases, there was only one Kool Keith, and there is no use in comparing him to anybody else since there is no one like him and there will never be another one like him.
I envision Kool Keith as a dude existing in different multiverses and dropping different rhymes at the same time. Hence: the off-beat style that he originated. THAT'S MY DUDE!!!
Love Kool Keith. The Ultramagnetics were such a massive part of my Hip Hop journey through the late 80's. Pretty sure that acapella freestyle from that Marley Show was used by Jurassic 5 as the intro to one of their tracks.
I always listened to chuck chillout n red alert but I remember flipn the dial to catch ultramag. Still got the show on maxell casette somewhere. Ooooold skol yeah man. Rip tim dog
Here's the 'K' combined the double 'O', swing in the 'L' Keith. This guy is sooooo iLL it's unnatural. "...you better stop off and walk, you're pure roach." Nutzzz!!
Rap general chief, executive,, plus exquisitive ,, mandatory,, capital statement,, I am a teacher , preaching what makes sense , class,, you weren’t able to pass , for any roach or lice that come last , I’m boric, , high computing acid, , get off the mic & won’t cha please pass it to me ,, for a one, two check , give me a pound , & lots of re-spect, no hands ,, your disappointing my fans
SuperOldschool1994, I wasn't talking about the great Legend Kool G Rap, I was giving Kool Keith his props lyrical wise COOL G RAPP and COOL G RAPP is just something that I say when something sounds good.
Now I gotta go listen to Ego Trippin' Kool Keith has always been one of the illest, the first time I ever heard a cat rock without rhyming the words but the shit still hit hard was Kool Keith and Ultra Magnetic! " But their rhymes are pathetic,they think their copestetic using nursery terms at least not poetic"......the dude was looking into the fucking future like he knew 30 years later rappers would come off like they do today.
is keith ok here man .. looks like hes shaking.. fuck i hope hes ok. that guy is the most original artist i ever seen.. and im into weird shit too like doomcore , darkcore, schranz lol.. keith u will never know how deep your roots go into true originality .. they say success is walking in the direction of what you fear and failing your way to success.. i think fear runs when he comes towards it.. like fuck this guy isnt afraid of anything.. reminds me something DAVID CHOE said in "The Last Dinosaur of the Congo with David Choe" ( heres the link ) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jWMi6WOa56k.html ( as i was saying ) DAVID was saying he has some sorta thing where he doesnt experience that thing were most peoples brain say this isnt a good idea or something .. meaning thats why he got so successful most of us get in our own way and never accomplish our goals or dreams thank god for KOOL KEITH( esp dr octagon first album ) to help us forget our troubles when we are afraid ( looking up to them and celebrating at other times.. idk man. i just think in hip hop things are aways supposed to be new and fresh and "dont bite my style n be original"and it ends up being 400 guys name lil , or baby, or young etc.. cookie cutter.. kool keith could be shown to any fan or non fan of music and they would not be able to place the era, and see new shit like real art everytime they saw it..or heard it..but what do i know im just a polish boy from CT who when he made it in the rave scene enough to afford nyc rent got stuck in far rockaway for 6 years and can only count to potato.. mic check , uh 1 , 2, mic check 1 , 2 potato .....( ok ill be over here not doing more aderall . are u still reading? go get in a time machine go to year whatever. .. find kool keiths new hit of that time...and still be like .. HOW DOES IT DO IT........
