 Kool Keith - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Thornton's early career and lyrics with the Ultramagnetic MCs often referenced his time as a patient of Bellevue, a psychiatric hospital, where he was treated for depression.
With Ultramagnetic, his abstract style developed, maturing in songs like "Poppa Large." He was probably the first rapper to create an alter ego, and then create an alter ego for that alter ego (Kool Keith v.

The opening verse between the two MC's was really not that great but then the track really picks up after that with Ced and KK continuing to drop verse after verse of great lyrics.
Just when you thought the Ultramagnetic MC's totally outdid themselves on their previous 2 records, they come in with a 12" that's equally as good as "Ego Trippin/Funky Potion" and maybe even better than the "Travelling..." 12".
With the poor sales of this album, the Ultramagnetic MC's pretty much went MIA for a couple of years and I guess everyone went their seperate ways - being the most underrated and slept on MC's has got to take its toll.

The four New Yorkers who composed Ultramagnetic MCs (Kool Keith, Ced Gee, TR Love and Moe Love) met while playing basketball circa 1984.
The album was ahead of its time, breaking new ground in the use of samplers and heavy funk beats; and in the end, the album earned more critical praise than commercial success.
That pattern would continue for Ultramagnetic MCs as they hopped labels for their next few releases.

 tonevendor.com :. Ultramagnetic MCs - Critical Beatdown LP
Besides being an undeniable hip-hop classic, the first album by the cult crew Ultramagnetic MCs introduced to the world the larger-than-life, one-of-a-kind personality of Kool Keith.
That alone would make this some sort of landmark recording, but it also happens to be one of the finest rap albums from the mid- to late-'80s "new school" in hip-hop that numbered among its contributors Run-D.M.C., Public Enemy, and Boogie Down Productions.
Critical Beatdown easily stands with the classic recordings made by those giants, and it is, in some ways, more intriguing because of how short-lived Ultramagnetic turned out to be.

Back in the '80s, the 12" single was the main format for rappers to show their stuff (few rappers were granted full-length albums).
So the Ultramagnetic MC's made the most of the 12", releasing many before their 1988 full-length Critical Beatdown appeared.
You can't go wrong with tracks like "Watch Me Now," "MC's Ultra Part 2," and "Funky," all equally strong old-school rap that deserves to be heard.

After The Prodigy Experience, and the run of singles that accompanied it, the Prodigy moved to distance themselves from the "kiddie rave" reputation that now dogged them.

A founding member of the classic group The Ultramagnetic MCs, Keith was behind some of the most innovative and lyrical music of the late 80s and early 90s.
In fact, in can be argued, and quite convincingly, that every MC with an abstract style owes some form of homage to Kool Keith.
He stole the Ultramagnetic time machine and went to the year 3000, bringing back some innovation to infuse into the stale hip-hop of the time.

In the early ’90s, as the lightning quick verb-man fronting Ultramagnetic MCs, Kool Keith furthered this Bellevue B-boy rep by occasionally performing in a straightjacket.
On the MC’s debut record, 1988’s Critical Beatdown, Keith busted on wack MCs and commercial hip hop, while celebrating his own verbal fluency, a hip-hop rite of passage since Day 1, of course.
His detail-rich imagery resonated, his accent on the off beat and non-rhyming schemes stood out, his metaphors were pungent and his dense flow had the stamp of genius.

Whether as a founding member of the legendary Ultramagnetic MCs, or in the guises of his renegade rap personas that include Dr. Octagon and Dr. Dooom, Keith has established himself as an innovative lyricist whose erudite raps stretch the envelope to the limit while exciting and entertaining the listener.
Combining funk-heavy tracks with jeep-rocking beats and obscure lyrical references, Ultramagnetic MC's have a list of firsts to their credit: the first group to employ a sampler as an instrument, the first to feature extensive use of live instrumentation...the first to feature a former psychiatric patient (Keith) on the mic.
Early singles like "Something Else" and "Space Groove" were block-party staples and created waves in the underground, eventually landing the group on the disco-dominated Next Plateau label, where they released their underappreciated debut.

One of Kool Keith's first projects following the breakup of the Ultramagnetic MCs, Ultra teamed the legendary eccentric with MCs associate Tim Dog (by then the subject of cult adoration for his gonzo near-classic Penicillin on Wax) and up-and-coming producer/DJ Kutmasta Kurt.
Parts are as gleefully vulgar as you'd expect (and, perhaps, hope) from a Tim Dog/Kool Keith collaboration, although it's a little disappointing that the two don't interact all that much; in fact, there's a surprising number of basically solo tracks.
But they actually hang together pretty well, not just because of both MCs' taste for the explicit, but also their mutual frustration with the fakeness of the record business.

 Diesel Truckers's album: Kool Keith And Kutmasta Kurt  (djmixed music review)      (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Ever ahead of the slow to shift gear hip-hopcracy, veteran mic controller “Kool” Keith Thornton (who came to prominence with the Ultramagnetic MCs and later with Dr. Octagon) and his trusty turntable manipulating sidekick “Kutmasta” Kurt Matlin have realized that MTV’s pimped-ride subculture is played out.
As such, the pair have chosen to turn their attention to the true vehicular renegade in a celebration of gas guzzling chrome thrones and their trucker-cap wearing, CB utilizing, bear teasing occupants.
Diesel Truckers is a concept album that is sure to have you rethinking the merits of that Caddy Escalade, not to mention anticipating the rumored Ultramagnetic MCs reunion.
