Editorial Reviews

Project Polaroid is a collaboration of creative minds that can only be described as ‘destiny’. Legendary Bronx rhymer Kool Keith (Ultramagnetic MC’s, Dr. Octagon, etc.) joins Bay Area producer TomC3 (Dopestyle 1231) for a festival of witty wordplay, high-power beats, and an all-around good time. Guest appearances by Prince Po (Organized Konfusion), Motion Man (Masters of Illusion), and Roughneck Jihad (Third Sight) add even more fuel to the fire and help shape the unique sound of an album that’s sure to become a classic. "The music starts out dark, then develops quickly into something much more colorful." -Edwin Land "If rhyming is good, then these guys are great!" -MC Tamara T "It’s funky funky noise. Plus it’s funky fresh. Project Polaroid is as funky as it wants to be. Oh, and did I say funky?" -Slither Roth

This brand new already classic album is great from begining to end. No complaints! This is the true return of the Octagon sound.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Kool Keith Album for Ten Years!, June 14, 2006

This album is great. I disagree that it sounds like Dan the Automator, I think it is totally different. But that was what made the Automator's work stand out and is what makes this album stand out. The Automator's work had a more industrial sound to it, this is more funk and soul influenced and is better for it.

So much clever use of sampling and layering along with the excellent beats make this a classic. Kool Keith's experimental word play and unusual flow really draw your ears in and make you really listen (and wonder!) to what's being said. I always knew Kool Keith could do it again...

5.0 out of 5 stars Picture Perfect, November 16, 2006

Buy this; you will absolutely not regret it. This album is fantastic. After a few missses, Keith found the open lane and Polaroid' is a glass shattering slam dunk. Props also must be given to the other hands present on this album... nobody lags. Keith STILL manages to rap about sharks, diapers and Elvis 10 years later. There's classic lines you will be quoting til Keith's next release.

"I'm Libra" and "Diamond District" are my current favorites, but that can change daily. Keith's left field line from "Talk to the Romans"~"Mike Piazza, I'm poppin' a lotta blaza blaza" almost had me swerve off the highway the first time it played, I was laughing so hard. It's on par with the untouchable "Welfare Love Section 8" from the mighty Dooom album.

This has the potential to take the crown for 2006... it is really that good.
