Quite possibly my favourite MC. His album “Serpent” from a few years back was a doozy.
Kool Keith lyrics
Kicking your intestines out like Ric Flair
With a cup of Maxwells coffee I like n****’s that’s bossy
You want freestlye that's right the style is free
n***** suck my dick and they girls drink my pee
Represent what? My nuts
I roll wit globs and I come real sticky
Ripping the mic, I plug it up in your ears
Crazed and brewer. I'm coming out like beers
Like Rheingold, Miller, Coors, and Buds
I'm a eat 'em wit popcorn and treat 'em like suds you duds
Yo take that wig off, yo punk let me see that caesar.
Sound like shit on a Tascam mixer
Penetrate your gap jeans with black and decker machines
I used to masturbate to tapes planet of the apes
He’s in a new movie of biblical proportions:
this looks incredible
Wade T Oberlin wow, written by Joe Carducci as well!
Uptown ruler 666 420 it’s gonna be good
Mystery_Ship yep! Going thru his most recent book of screenplays now too. I think he originally wanted Travis of ONO to be the lead, but Kool Keith stepped in. I’ll take it!
He's playing down the street from me next week. I'm on the fence about going. I saw him once maybe 15 years ago. He deliberately waited until about a half hour before the club closed to come on stage, and showed up with no DJ and no music. He had to borrow one of his own CDs from the audience and then rap along to it. It was super strange, but then again, it's Kool Keith so I don't know what I expected. I'll admit his freestyling was great, but it didn't quite make up for forcing everyone to stand around for three hours waiting for him to perform. The only saving grace was that DJ Qbert opened for him and was incredible. However Qbert only had like an hour set, hence the long break.
Worth adding that the upcoming show has like 8 other acts for some reason, none of whom I'm interested in. But I can kinda picture him doing the same thing - waiting until the last second and then performing for 15 minutes and leaving. Curious if anyone has seen him recently that can say otherwise.
Saw him on the Spankmaster tour in like 2001 and it was great. He threw out fried chicken to the crowd. My parents tore up the Spankmaster poster when I got home.
Most rap shows are terrible and not worth seeing, especially now. They all just lip sync and yell the chorus parts from songs in one big 20 minute medley.
I think the last hip hop show I went to was GZA, maybe a year ago, and he had a live band. ODB's brother was the drummer. It ruled. 100% recommend.
Most of the hip hop shows I've been to were really good. I wouldn't say I go to a lot so maybe I'm cherry picking the good ones to attend. Kool Keith was the major standout as being kinda disappointing. Once he got going it was great - just wish he had performed on time and came actually prepared with a DJ and shit.

Saw him play a few years back and it was garbage. He was 1.5 hours late, rapped liked 1 verse and the chorus to a bunch of his songs for 30 mins, then “freestyled” the same 5 bars with his hype man for another hour plus. He kept going until 90% of the crowd walked out. I couldn’t listen to his music for probably a year after that show. Took me a while but I eventually got back into listening to him again. He still rules and I’d probably go see him again if it was cheap and convenient.
