DR. OCTAGON Dr.
Octagonecologyst IVC Edition hails from 2025 and is a SEALED limited
edition and numbered 2LP pressed on Bone w/Red Splatter/Bone w/Black Splatter
Vinyl and includes a limited edition turntable slipmat.
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)”.
