Dr. Dooom is a madman serial killing psychopathic rapper with a deep spooky voice stalking wannabe rappers, weak MTV and BET sellouts and dirty-ass ho's and anyone else whose path he crosses. And who better to start his spree with than the hated Dr. Octagon? He promptly plugs Octagon full of lead and jets the hospital for the dark underbelly of America where he visits superficial girls with weaves makin peanut butter sandwiches who are in dire need of some massengil and soap and who borrow tons of sugar for their kool aid.

Then he travels around, cuttin up weak mc's who can't rhyme, whose mixes arent right, whose vocals are too low whose cadence is off whose stage shows are weak who shoulda used better samples and he goes to mcdonalds with guts in his pockets throwin rats with mayonnaise at white women and all others who get in his way.

Dr. Dooom lives in an apartment stinkin with rotten flesh with neighbors askin 'whats that smell down there' and his killer sidekick jackie sayin, 'dont mind the smell from across the hall' and tellin them that he'll be by for a visit at midnight. 'Get that body and bag it, then get outta sight!' is what you hear after Dooom disposes of victim after victim, cuttin and shootin, burnin and eatin. Dr. Dooom stalking the night streets with a Dracula cape cannibalizing and videotaping his victims and feeding the carcasses to unsuspecting people and askin, 'how you like the meat flavor? Mmmm!'

Dooom goes to prison and makes all the hard criminals in there soft, they leave his cell wearin tight pants and lipstick and victoria's secret with skinned up knees. He leaves prison goin back to his killing ways and eatin apple jacks, blueberry pop tarts, drinkin chocolate milk, poppin flintstones vitamins, watching pornos as the cockroaches and mouses bounce to the delphonics and the fifth dimension.

Jackie asks Dooom 'what you want?' and Dooom responds in his maniacal voice, 'I want a kotex with whip cream!' Killin rappers left an right, makin them his b*tches sayin, 'rappers with panty-liners, rent cars with no recliners; I get ill, serve MCs with Massengil.' Body parts fillin his apartment, corpses piling up from coast to coast. 'Workin overtime like a janitor with stamina' he 'buried the last bodies in canada' and he's 'ridin some bronco like oj simpson, nervous smokin a pack a winstons' enterin buildings cuttin elevator cables, drillin people in the butt, burnin down nightclubs, wrappin up eyeballs in aluminum foil, he's goin into apartment lobbies 'pressin bells an bells an bells till you f*ckin let (him) in.'

Spooky music pervades, not scifi like Automator, Kurt is strictly horror soundtrack, spooky with beats an beats fitting the rhymes perfect makin a more interesting and fun album than that b*astard Octagon EVER made, makin tracks staying power and vivid imagery and sinister sounds takin over minds as DOOOM walks the streets, takin out EVERYONE, so watch out cause Dr. Dooom is in the Rooom walkin up the street with bare feet, eatin raw steak meat!

ALL songs great, best include, APT 223, Neighbors Next Door (watch out if you live in Dooom and Jackie's bldg), I Run Rap (prison tale), You live at home w/ yo Mom (you whack loser mc's, Dooom'll kill you!), Body Bags (self explan), Sidelines (Dooom in the projects) and No Chorus (F all the Laws!)

And if you dont like this album, then as Kool Keith says, 'You whack. F*ck you.'

Dr. Octagon RIP 1999.

While that quote may've come from the intro to the Wu's "Wu-Tang Clan Ain't Nuthin' Ta F Wit'," it's the first thing that comes to my mind when I think of Dr. Dooom. Hands down, it's become clear if a rapper was influenced by the arch-nemesis of the superhero group, The Fantastic Four, then that rapper is most likely going to be ill. RZA, MF DOOM, and Dr. Dooom alike have all made numerous mentions to Viktor Von Doom, and all three are avante-garde lyricists, and clearly three of the illest in the game. They're also all mad scientists like the character that inspired them, but at the same time, while RZA and MF DOOM show glimpses of insanity, they appear completely sane in comparison to Kool Keith, and especially his Dr. Dooom alias.

We all know Keith is the definition of dope; at the same time, the Kool Kat's fanbase has come to expect one of two extremes when he releases an album; at best, he'll give us an absolute classic, and at worst, he'll drop some of the most unredeemable crap put on wax. Thankfully for both Keith, and his fanbase, this album is the former. Better than Dr. Octagon? All depends on your personal preference. Just as good? I ensure you, it is. As I said, it all depends where your tastes lie; if you're into alternative hip-hop with spaceage themes, Dr. Octagon's for you, and if you're into alternative hip-hop, that fits the horrorcore sub-genre like a glove, then Dr. Dooom is your poison.

I love both albums equally; I'd rather not choose between the two. Even though I'm a bigger fan of horror flicks than I am science-fiction, both resulted in classic albums of major proportions, making weaker emcees cower in fear. On Dr. Octagon, Keith was born on Jupiter; on FCFS, Keith is the man of the hour watching girls taking showers.

For hip-hop fiends, this is your PCP; it doesn't get any stronger than this. Dr. Dooom's delivery and lyrics are leaps and bounds ahead of inferior emcees, and the production, provided by Kutmasta Kurt, is some of the creepiest music this side of Six Feet Deep. This is a must-have for true hip-hop heads; one of the albums that shows you exactly why Keith's fanbase remains loyal to him throughout the weak releases, because along the way, we know he'll drop a bomb on us that will shake hip-hop's loundscape.

Just when you thought Kool Keith had already created the perfect hip-hop album in Dr. Octagon, he did the unthinkable. Enter Dr. Dooom, First Come First Served.

Unfortunately, every beginning must have an ending. The album begins with an unexpected bombshell of Dr. Dooom inserting a slug or two into his triumphant Dr. Octagon persona, slaying him. However, the loss of Dr. Octagon unleashes an even more promising character. Dr. Dooom isn't your typical emcee. In fact, there's no one in comparison. He's gritty, he's gutter, and if you're an emcee, he's your worst nightmare.

It's damn near impossible to give this album the admiration it surely deserves. The term "classic" would be an understatement for First Come First Served. In all honestly, no word in the English language can do this album justice. Lyrically, Kool Keith takes his music to an entirely new level, while Kutmaster Kurt proves he's one of the most underrated instrumentalist in the music industry.

From the emcee shattering No Chorus, to the space-funked Baldheaded Girl, Kool Keith drops nothing less than sheer astonishment with each and every line from his arsenal of lyrics. I Run Rap further proves why Keith has been the best emcee since day 1. The sinister sounds from Apartment 223 and Neighbors Next Door give you more of a "street" Keith, while lackadaisical and amusing Keith can be found on tracks such as Welfare Love and Mental Case. The album itself is a mixture of a little bit of everything. With Keith, you can be sure to get something new with each and every album, and with Dr. Dooom's First Come First Served, he surely doesn't disappointment.

My favorite Kool Keith project to date; the postitive reviews posted here speak with accuracy for those in any doubt.

If "Dr.Octagon" was an X rated horror movie... then "Dooom" is the B-Movie equivalent playing around the block on the seedier side of town with the wild low budget Kung Fu and X-ploitation flicks. In fact I think fans of Slasher flicks, Troma movies and Schlock culture in general would genuinely get a kick out of this album even if they aren't crazy about the "hip-hop" genre. It's almost the same sub-cultural appeal. The humor here is twisted out of this world and it's also a little eerie, even for those who think they've heard it all. Countless other rappers sound marble mouthed, muddy and creatively dead compared with Kool Keith's diction and creative might. Keith has an amazing entertaining ability to randomize the most bizzarre, unusual assortment of crisp vocabulary... all with the meticulous touch of a lense grinder. Household cleaning products, breakfast foods, juvenile toilet obsessions and Michael jackson references all whirl with deadpan wit that borderlines on sounding pure evil.

With the miraculous success of the Dr. Octagonecologyst project, you'd initially scratch your head and question Kool Keith's scandalous assassination of his paramount character, Dr. Octagon. However, the delivery of the dark and malignant Dr. Dooom, proves Kool Keith is equipped with a bag full of goodies begging to be unleashed.

On Dr. Octagon, the stupefying production from Dan the Automator was credited as equally as Kool Keith's very own stroke of genius on the microphone, but on Dr. Dooom's First Come First Served, Kool Keith's lyrical brilliance is the definite underline. Not to discredit Kutmaster Kurt, in fact, Kutmaster Kurt's best work is actually found on First Come First Served, on classics such as I Run Rap, Apartment 223, Welfare Love, and others. Kurt does his part, believe that, it's just Keith's odd terminology and mind-tingling wordplay that blow this album out of the water. Dr. Dooom's lyrical format, coincides with his flow and concepts perfectly. Tracks such as I Run Rap and Dr. Dooom is in the Room, are just as great lyrically, as any track that can be found on all-time hip-hop classics such as Nas' Illmatic or BDP's By All Means Necessary, just to name a few.

Keith brings along a couple guest allowing each of them (Jacky Jasper & Motion Man) to shine on a track or two, making a great addition to the album.

The majority of the album revolves within a dark and foul setting, with roach infested apartments, malodorous sewers, and the gritty life of the gutter beyond your average ghetto. However, the entire album isn't about mangled body parts in Hefty bags, there's a dash of humor here and there, keeping the listener rolling on the floor, with comedy that only Kool Keith himself could provide.

All in all, Kool Keith accomplished the impossible with Dr. Dooom's First Come First Served, in the fact he created an even more superb album than the untouchable Dr. Octagon. Believe it, or not.

ALL I HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THIS MC IS STRAIGHT SKILLS. EVERYTHING I'VE HEARD MR. KOOL KEITH DO IS SICK. HE HAS SKILLS LIKE RAKIM OR SOMETHING; BUT INSTEAD IT'S DARK HIP HOP THAT NO ONE ELSE CAN EVEN SAMPLE. PLUS, WHAT I LIKE ABOUT THIS MC IS HE KEEPS IT REAL, HE KEEPS IT UNDERGROUND FOR 3000.

"Bound to eat a german shepard in the Mojave desert."

"I'll penetrate your Gap jeans with Black & Decker machines."

"We stuck together when one of my parakeets died."

....so dope! sick beats and rhymes...kool Keith is a maniac.

Kool Keith aka Dr Dooom is nothing less than a masterpiece.
How could you disagree?

The evil Dr Dooom kills of his former persona Dr Octagon. At first I thought this was strange after the success of Octagon. After I heard Dr Dooom, I thought to myself, this is actually better than Octagon.

Dr Octagon is completly different from Dr Dooom. For one, Kurt is the main producer, of course on Octagon it was the work of Automator. Both great producers, and I would give Automator the edge for the production on Octagon, but b/c of Keith's lyrics on Dooom, I have to say Dooom is the better album.

Dr Dooom, is mad with the hip-hop industry, he has good reasons. Look at what hip-hop has become. Almost every track will pretty much diss almost every emcee today. Not just emcees and whack commercial rappers but also the major record labels.

Tracks that are remarkable are "No Chours" "Apartment 223" "I Run Rap" etc.

There are NO weak cuts. NONE. Some of Keith's other albums have weak tracks but this LP is FLAWLESS.

This is my own PERSONAL favorite album. The lyrics are so deep it would take a genius to fully understand the extent of his words. Kool Keith is no Canibus or Chino XL big vocabulary emcee, but his lyrics tell a tale of something deeper than both of those emcees put together.

This album will probably never be platinum or even gold for that matter unless Keith is finally seen as the genius he really is to the world, but this album is better than any other album ever put together, that is a lot coming from someone who sees not just hip-hop music, but all music backgrounds as being of high importance. With albums like this Kool Keith proves he is one of the greatest influences to the music world today, and not just hip-hop.

If you think there is a better album by Keith or any other emcee or music artist of any music background, either IM me or email me and I will prove you other wise. If you haven't heard the Dr Dooom album fully, then don't bother doing so.

Kool Keith, known as tons of other aliases, puts together a pretty tight album. I dig the cover. Crazy. Check out apartment 223, my favorite song on there. If your into that non mainstream rap then this is the cd for you. I recommend it.
