Rappers of the Sabbath


I am pleased to announce Dr. Octagon as the Rapper Of The Sabbath. This album came out in the mid 90s and blew me away. Once again, i was at home, watching BET at midnight, perhaps: RAP CITY or something, can't remember. Anyway, on came the video for Blue Flowers, and i was tripping. The vid was janky, definitly on a 2-bit ghetto tip, but nonetheless, the track was on point and captured my nerves with pungent satisfaction. I had never heard Kool Keith before, so that night my interest was sparked and i immediatley went on a scavenger hunt for the album. Funny thing was, i never found Dr. Octagonecologyst, instead i found Dr. Instramentalist which was only intstramental, so i was without lyrics for years before i found the lyrical alubm. Kool Keith plays Dr. Octagon who is a savage maniacal surgeon who likes to perform more than just operations on his patients. The album features work by Qbert, Dan the Automator, and Kut Master Kurt and has a gang of samples from records i've never heard of! Check out Dr. Octo get down.
