 Medialunchbox - Music : First Come, First Served
Dr Octagon was classic, and I wasn't expecting this to be as good, but this tops Dr Octagon.
In the Dr. Octagon album, by contrast, Keith took that same abject content, and sublimated it into hyperspace with an update of the Sun Ra/P-Funk black sci-fi tradition, hooked up some sleek alien tracks and scratches by Automator, thereby producing the final classic hip-hop album of the 1990s.
Octagonecologist album, and it's not something he seems happy about: on the first track of First Come, First Served, he--as Dr. Dooom--kills Octagon.

 The CyberKrib
After unspecified difficulties with Dan "Automator" Nakamura, who produced the Dr. Octagon album along with several other of Keith's works, he's abandoned the Dr. Octagon persona and introduced the world to Dr. Dooom.
Gerbick, Reverend Tom, Willie Biggs, Clean Man, Dr. Octagon.
This new album is no different, as Dr. Dooom uses Keith's mastery of abstraction and a lyrical flow that seems to defy sanity to call out all the evils he sees in hip-hop music today.

The madcap porno-horror concept album Dr Octagon (1995) was a groundbreaking collaboration with producer Dan Nakamura and Invisible Skratch Picklz's turntablist Richard "Q-Bert" Quitevis (and, behind the scenes, producer Phillip "Scaramanga" Collington).
Dr Octagon was truly Nakamura's brainchild, as subsequent Thornton releases would prove.
As Kool Keith, he released the hip-hopera Matthew (1996), produced by Kut Masta Kurt, the pornographic concept Sex Style (1997), perhaps his most straightforward hip-hop album, the accessible Black Elvis Lost in Space (1999), entirely composed, produced and performed by him (and his best album after Dr Octagon's), and the mediocre Spankmaster (2001).

 Splendid E-zine reviews: Dr. Dooom
As I quickly cornered the suspect, Dr. Dooom launched into a vicious tirade about body parts with "Apartment 223," made biting personal jabs on "You Live at Home With Your Mom" and spewed succulent self-indulgence with "I Run Rap." This mastermind was indeed a contender for Octagon's coveted position of hip-hop rhymer extraordinaire.
While fierce questioning of Dr. Dooom's lawyer, Funky Ass Records, resulted in vehement denials as to any similarities between Dooom and Octagon, and absolutely no recognition of the name "Kool Keith," my suspicions were firmly sowed.
Dooom's superb handling of all things bizarre (everything from gastric juices and french toast to fat asses and body bags) had a very Octagonesque quality about it.

Kool Keith was unbelievably successful with Dr. Octagon, and this album should enjoy the same success, because it's at least as good.
And while others rest on their laurels, Dr Dooom buries them faster than a squirrel a nutmeg.
While others live on overladen production, Dr. Dooom keeps it minimal and survives on the strenght of his outstanding rhymes.

 Choler Magazine Album Review: Dr. Dooom First Come, First Served
Not that Dr. Octagon hesitated to procure dead bodies; Keith has been hiding dead bodies ever since his first obscure solo effort, the Big Willie Smith EP, on which Keith appears as the Phantom on "Sly We Fly".
This album takes a bit of a darker turn when, presumably tormented by Dr. Octagon; the first track finds Dr. Dooom blasting the Octagonecologyst before he can perform a bad operation.
Dooom doesn't quite bring the same comic relief; Keith has always been eager to put down the rest of the hip-hop world, but he seems particularly frustrated on this album, best exemplified by the track "Leave Me Alone".

Yes, I found myself reciting the fact that Dr. Octagon was indeed born on Jupiter, but it was not because I particularly liked the line.
I had been wondering about Dr. Octagon for a while now- this album is constantly recommended to me by Amazon, and some of my friends that are really into DJing and hip-hop.
In general, Keith never does seem to get really comfortable with the album's setup--the only time he seems to be truly involved in the music is when he gets to talk about how much he'd like to "sex up" some nameless woman.

Octagon House was likely spared only because the Tayloes had leased it temporarily to French Minister Louis Serrurier (Serurier), who flew the Tricolor from it.
Despite its name, Octagon House is actually an irregular hexagon broken by a dominant semicircular bay projecting from the front, or southwest, face.
In 1797 Tayloe purchased a triangular corner lot 2 blocks west of the newly rising President's House (White House), and obtained the architectural services of Dr. William Thornton, original architect of the Capitol.

Dr. Dooom makes this point clear by assassinating his alter-ego Dr. Octagon in the opening skit.
His machismo and loathing of mediocre MC's dominate this album as he livens up songs like "I Run Rap", "You Live at Home With Your Mom" and "Dr. Dooom's in the Room" in classic Ultramagnetic style.
Dooom undoubtedly has no love lost for up-and-coming MC's on "No Chorus" when indie rappers hear lines like, "You never paid no dues like Cold Crush and Afrika Bambaata," and find out that 90% of the people on their guestlist left before the set was over.

The Octagon building, which was part of the hotel, was moved to downtown Aurora.
In the 1860s, colony founder Dr. William Keil approached the Oregon and California Railway Co. and said if it would build a line through Aurora, he would build the hotel and provide a place to eat.
Karen Townsend, owner of the Time After Time antique shop, said Aurora became a destination spot because of the hotel, known for the brass band that played there and the good German food.

Produced by San Francisco-based beat wizard the Automator, and featuring legendary DJ Q-Bert on the cuts, it quickly became a cult favorite, with the twisted gems "Blue Flowers," "Earth People," and "Bear Witness." Keith eventually killed off Octagon on the intro to his Dr. Dooom project.

 Kool Keith @ Soundbug
Too illustrate his point, Keith killed off a substantial portion his fan-base by pulling a bait-and-switch: He made "Dr. Octagonecologyst" under the name Dr. Octagon, which gained a lot of popularity, especially amongst fans of indie rock and underground hip-hop in general.
Under the name Dr. Octagon Keith recorded the album Dr. Octagonecologyst, which was released by the English trip hop label Mo' Wax.
In 1999 Keith recorded the album First Come, First Served as Dr. Dooom, released by Funky Ass Records.

Overall well worth the purchase but not quite as good as Dr. Octagon that's why I couldn't give it 5 stars.
If you liked this album check out Analog Brothers "Pimp to Eat" Kool Keith's own follow up to Dr. Octagon with the legendary Ice-T!, Sir Menelik's stuff, Company Flow "Funcrusher Plus", Anti Pop Consortium "Tragic Epilogue" and some of the Anticon stuff has a tendancy to sound post apocolyptic.
Though it doesn't have the same gritty super surreal vibe of Dr. Octagon, Deltron 3030 has a more coherent version of the future.
