Dr. Octagon
Under the alias Dr. Octagon, Kool Keith dropped the groundbreaking solo project Dr. Octagon on May, 7 1996, on Bulk Recordings. The album was reissued the next year with an alternate track listing on Dreamworks, and was renamed Dr. Octagonecologyst.
Produced by Dan The Automator, Dr. Octagon was a mash up of Hip-Hop beats complete with cuts and scratches (by Q Bert and KutMasta Kurt), porno movie clips, odd samples and some of the most bizarre concepts and lyrics Keith's demented mind could conjure up. Dr. Octagon's home is Jupiter, and he is described as an extraterrestrial gynecologist.
Dr. Octagon produced the singles "Earth People," "3000," and "Blue Flowers." The song "Bear Witness" is an impressive instrumental show of turntable skills by Q Bert and "Halfsharkalligatorhalfman" was a hidden track on the original pressing, which featured Keith flexing over the "You're A Customer" drums from EPMD's debut single.
