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). Dr. Octagonecologyst introduces the character of Dr. Octagon, a homicidal, extraterrestrial, time-traveling gynecologist, and surgeon. Kool Keith’s eccentric and often bizarre lyrics explore themes of medicine, space travel, and oddball characters, creating a distinctive sound that redefined underground hip-hop. The abstract and often outrageously comedic storytelling is perfectly complimented by complex, futuristic beats produced by Dan the Automator (Handsome Boy Modeling School, Gorillaz, Deltron 3030) and genius turntablism by the legendary DJ Q-Bert.
It's hard to exaggerate the role that Dr. Octagon played in revitalizing underground hip-hop. Dr. Octagon represented the first truly new, genuine alternative to commercial hip-hop and continues to gain popularity as a true hip-hop cult classic.
Presented as a 2LP with a gatefold jacket for the first time, the vinyl is pressed on bone with red splatter and bone with black splatter vinyl. The album includes the bonus tracks “Bear Witness (Automator's 2 Turntables And A Razor Blade Re-Edit)”, “Blue Flowers (Automator Remix)”, “3000 (Automator 1,2 Remix)”, and “Blue Flowers (Prince Paul’s ‘So Beautiful’ Mix)”.
As a FREE bonus, the album comes with a limited-edition, turntable slipmat featuring the cover art image by the artist, Pushead.
