Kool Keith - Sex Style

I got the strong desire to break out my old Kool Keith records after learning that Keith will be one of the many hip-hop musicians involved with the new Mike Patton project. So I've spent the last few days with a heavy Kool Keith element to my playlist. It's been a fantastic rediscovery. Hearing Keith's darkly sexual and at times even slightly disturbing rhymes is something I haven't indulged in for way too long. What's always drew me to Keith was how incredibly over the top a lot of his lyrics were. "Oh great, another overly horny rapper" you may be thinking. Well, yes, his music does have a running theme of sexual debauchery, like so many rappers out there. But Keith has always been more interesting, humorous and aggressive than the vast majority of hip-hoppers with boners. Perhaps it's his fairly unique, slightly high pitched voice or just the urgency with which he delivers. Either way, he's a thoroughly entertaining rapper and a near impossible man to top when it comes to pure mental sickness. You really do get the feeling that at some point during his life, a psychiatrist gave up on Keith, presented him with a pen, paper and a book on rhyme structure and told him to leave.
