Here, hip-hop pioneer Kool Keith dons his alter ego, teams with Dan "Automator" Nakamura (most recently of Handsome Boy Modeling School fame), and offers up some of the wildest rhymes heard before or since. Instead of rapping about girls, guns, and gangsta life, the good doctor throws down raps about space travel, surgery, and mental illness. If you're tough enough to appreciate the hard-edged lyrics, the doctor is definitely in.
