Stocktown episode 006: Kool Keith

Kool Keith and Xzibit Freestyle

Prepare when I come with no underwear

Unreleased from the Sex Style Archives

Hood Tuesday...Godfather Don?

That dude who fucked with Keith (Cenobites) and Ultramag (he did most of The Four Horsemen album for Ultra)? That is true. Kiji put it on me when he sent me this Godfather Don and Keith joint called slaves, which is apparently where The Cenobites got their start (for The Cenobites version of this joint that got cut from the album click here). After Ultramag time Godfather released a handfull of material some of which is still getting released super limited style, here is the album he made after The Cenobites, Diabolique. Since the whole album couldn't fit into one download I made a second that has some of his other stuff, ep's and such. Enjoy.

Masters of Illusion: Let me talk to you

yeah pretty much...happy memorial day.

Do not ring the bell, there is nobody home...a formal intro

Where to begin. Do we start with the fact that he spent all of the money from Dr.Octagon in one week on a hotel room with a rotating roster of prostitutes, thus creating the album Sex Styles? That he was a porno star? That the song Bow To The Master is a direct indictment of RZA and Mental Side Effects is a direct indictment of Andre 3000? According to the man himself he only drinks seltzer and brand x corn flakes because mad niggas come and eat your food on some freeloader shit. Oh you're hungry? Sorry, I only have seltzer and corn flakes, better go to the store man (a snippet from this interview). From the man who invented (literally) "underground rap" (he calls it just naturally being street. Back then everyone was on some different shit. Now theres just too many fish in the pond) here is approximatley one song from each of the albums he has been involved in (I didn't put anything on here from The Cenobites and I don't have The Big Willie Smith EP). I am missing some stuff, (on keith mix 1 I added two songs from Dr.Dooom, the album that comes after Dr. Octagon where he kills Doc Octo in the intro) but this is a pretty good start. The song Bow To The Master was the first part of Keiths paranoid anti-RZA jumpoff. Part two was an entire Album titled the Analog Brothers with none other than Ice - T. The songs from the Personal Album (every copy of the cd was hand autographed by Keith) are all slow love songs. We can be here forever. Without further yammerings, heres the best to ever do it.
