- From the early days of Hip Hop in his native Bronx, to his pioneering work with UltraMagnetic Mc's, to re- defining underground Hip Hop with his Dr. Octagon album, Hip Hop's most illusive Icon tells his life story. Filmed in the Bronx and Delaware (complete with rare performance footage, and new music) Keep It Kool The Kool Keith story, is a unique view into the mind of Hip Hop's original mad genius.

Saw Kool Keith perform 20 years ago and instead of throwing out CDs and T-shirt’s to the crowd he threw out juice boxes, chicken wings (in plastic sandwich bags) and porno mags. I’ll never forget that.
ATLbench I was there bro!
He used to do that at all his shows in like 1998/99
I might have been at the Masquerade in ATL. I got the wings and not the juice box...lol
Daaam wish I could have been there. The chicken, LoL not surprising from kook kieth.
Hahahahahahhaahha!!!!!
Keith is doing a high wire act on that fine line between genius and insanity. The most brilliant MC to ever spit. To this day, everyone still coppin his style.
100%
"The Kundalini experience: transcendence or psychosis? " by Lee Sannella. Book. Genius and sanity struggle. If you've gone a lil insane b4 in this world, that's most likely a normal thing, despite statistics and expert figures. United States of America ... anagramming... Nu Diet tastes of camera i. Edinut. Eden nut. Nu Diet . Nude die yet.
keith spindel thanks for keepin it real
S Walters igg.me/at/koolkeith/x/10612188 yeaah man, keith destroys this album, we need get this campaign like de la
Correct sir!
Kool Keith is criminally underrated.
no he’s not
Definitely. Huge influence for me.
The most original mc in HIP HOP!
INDEED!!!!!!!!!!!!!
yep
Him and El-producto.
No shit!
MFDOOM is NO1 orig. keith isdope too tho...
I don't know who did this documentary. I appreciate the documentation of putting together a body of work that presents to us one of the best under appreciated MCs, and unique social personalities of all time. Before there was a DOOM or before there were OUTKASTs there was KOOL KEITH. For me he ranks as one of the TOP 10 MCs of ALL TIME!!! Ahead of his TIME a true ORIGINATOR.. Never DUPLICATOR!!
Kidd Wee word is bond! Keith’s music is always been super refreshing to me. I agree 100 percent!! Salute
Facts
Well said bud
Originality doesn't always get you paid, that's why alot rappers are not original, kool keith is not all about the money but he's about originality.
He's a true artist.
He's on sum next level ,higher frequency, all those other MC's are simply playing catch up... 💯 fax
Keith rules. I remember seeing him in NY around 1999-2000. He came out in his black Elvis hair and a cape, and he and his crew tossed little sandwich bags with chicken wings into the crowd. I got lucky and caught one. Most original show ever. Long live KK.
The eclectic genius of hip hop.Making records from 1984 til 2021,and still going strong.
"I'm poppa large big shot on the east coast!"
Ven De Van a staple in 90's hip hop
+Buck Jones That track was too damn good. I used to break dance to that joint back in da days.
I feel like this dude is so underappreciated too many so called hiphop fans don't know who he is
KK is not for everyone. but it is superb for many.
Ken Smith Genius Ears appreciate his sound.
Facts 👏🏽
Damn right
KOOL KEITH is to RAP as SUN RA is to JAZZ!!!
Exactly!!
Maybe like a canker soar in Sonny's mouth.
Damn that's probably the best damn comparison I have ever read!
+Kidd Wee Word!...and i'll add George "Dr. Funkenstein" Clinton to that comparison...Kool Keith is a true innovator. Maybe Aceyalone or Del Tha Funky Homosapien can compare...as far as wordsmithmanship....but Keith can literally blow your mind in three verses.
Freddie Foxxx - Charles Mingus
"They use the simple back and forth, the same old rhythm, that a baby can pick up and join right with them"... Describes today's commercial Rap perfectly.
People talk about Pac and Big, but this man right here is in the same league. Pure genius!
I would say he's leagues ahead of those dudes. Another galaxy. Biggie's got some sick tracks but they don't touch what this man has done (in my opinion)
He is better than both...
@@mamamia6925 Yeah those dudes seriously couldn't hold a flame to Keith. Dude is top shelf.
Rakim, Big Daddy, Slick Rick, Kool G and Kool Keith. Four Rappers and an MC.
'the longjeopardy of my career' He's a bloody genius.
Kool Keith is fucking cool. Also seems like a humble, chill down to earth person too.
Before I leave this Planet - seeing this Legend live is on my Bucket List ❤️✌🏻🔥
I love this dude
Keith gives good metaphorical comparisons when making his point
***** Sunny Bubble Berry Beats!!!
This man is a genius. I wish I could meet him. Some day. Some day. Love you Keith. Where ever you may be. Beautiful soul, Sir.
"You might live in Sunny Bubble Berry" CLASSIC Kool Keith awesomeness. The God.
"Sunny Bubble Berry" 😆 That bit cracks me up.
KK is a Don. Got to speak with him an Ced once when they came to london to perform way back in the 90s.
Peace, KEITH IS UNTOUCHABLE PERIOD!!! HE GOT HIS OWN LANE.
Light Years Ahead....
I have followed hip hop for 25 years plus and Keith is one of the only true mc's left on hip hop scene. Does what he wants when he wants ,True talent.
Don't forget Busdriver
The Frank Zappa of rappin
The Frank Rapper of Zapper!!
This is as lucid an interview as I've ever seen of Keith - impressive. It's amazing how many rappers are eloquent on the mic but get tongue tied and have a hard time expressing themselves in interviews.
good advice!!!
@@CC-jy4gr observation
@@serenity2655 you ever observe my boy sparky_1981 on twitch?
Ummm... You should see him in Something From Nothing. Ice-T makes it clear that Keith is everybody's favorite MCs' favorite MC.
For some of them it’s a tactic so they’re not constantly getting hassled to give interviews. Bob Dylan tried to do the same thing but he got too famous.
you can tell he's a really great guy.
longertrax He really is a good guy. I hung out with him in apartment 223! We drank Tampico orange drink.
It was dope!
@@Keithisill very hungry
It was an honor to work with you guys back in the day. We were a tight unit. I still remember how warm and welcoming Cedric's mom was and how much Patrick cared about our group. The South Bronx was no joke. You guys gave us the opportunity to create a demo and perform with you and for that, I am forever grateful.
word
This cat is way too underrated
Van Gogh was underrated too
A humble and honest, intelligent man, i'm from Manchester, England i remember when i first heard four horseman it blew me away, god that was 20 yrs ago and it still sound fresh
🏴🇬🇧
Much love from North Texas! music crosses all boundaries! I've never been to your country but I've seen pictures and videos and it looks beautiful, I would love to see it one day. And when I was in school I had a friend from England and he was a cool dude, much love from Texas!
My favorite Alien MC...
digital level standing on the terminal..
Genuinely one of the most talented rappers of all time. Absolutely incredible.
I'm a Rapper and this cat has been my hero for ever no body knows him I want to thank you bro for rapping with out shit talking with out reason thanks Kool!
Priceless wisdom from a true creative genius.
The Original Black Elvis.
I feel privileged to get and appreciate KKs style and flow.
One of my all time favourite artists ever.
Hip hops comedian for sure.
One of his better interviews, he actually appears motivated to explain things.
Kool Keith singing Orphan Annie is gold!
Living legend,and rap originator
Much more humble than KRS-one.
Talking about KRS is tricky. You have to admit that he's one of the orginators of hip hop. With that, and where the scene was at the time, being humble wasn't the goal. "The Bridge is Over" might not be the first dis rap ever, but it's certainly one of the best of the time.
Add into that what Kris has done for hip hop and consciousness of the form since then and you can see how he might have the ego he does.
But I agree, Kool Keith is a much more down to earth dude. And once you lock into what he's doing and understand it, you see how he elevated the artform to another level.
Both have their place. And both of their ways of viewing the world and describing it are equally fucking perfect.
KRS proved himself to be a pseudo-intellectual fraud
More humble than krs 1 is like saying he's less fat than biggie
@@kinetikx well said...esp the ego and era
@@steveeyers5963 lmao dude
SUNNY BUBBLEBERRY... LMFAO! "The person doin' the beat is like.. I'm plantin' garden seeds... mowin' my lawn"
Kool Keith in my top 5 MCs, nobody like him or ever will be peace from Sheffield England ✌️🇬🇧
Words can't contain this Mans creativity. Or his style. One, of a kind.
The best kind.
For all them" Earth people".
Thanks Keith, I'm a fan of 100% of your art. Priceless, BS aside. 💪🏻❤💯%
#1 MC in the world…. #1 producer and modern Artist… #1
Keith is a legend hands down
My favorite rapper. He kept his cake and ate it too. Parodying hip hop while being his true hip hop. He's the one I keep coming back to over time.
Known Keith since 86. Dude was straight futuristic with his style. Cats still trying to catch up with what he was saying 30 plus years ago.
Kool Keith is a true inspiration to any creative mind... It's like he's allergic to conformity.
Sunnybubbleberry, TX represent!
I listened to this while planting seeds in my garden.
A true genius
One of the most innovative Mc’’s of all time! From Critical Beatdown to Dr Octagon! A legend! “We are the Horsemen”......
Saw this some years ago, and revisiting; what a good interview. Kool Kieth is one of the top lyricists. 🏆
Harder than diamonds. Realer than ultra real. Nobody comes close. Magnetic
this is fucking legendary dude i watch this at least once a week.
kool keith music was the soundtrack of my teenage life
KEITH IS A RAP GOD, THE REAL LARGEST VOCAB IN HIP HOP IF YOU TAKE ALL HIS ALLIAS' INTO ACCOUNT. MOST UNDERRATED/UNDEREXPOSED RAPPER OF ALL TIME
100%
No he isnt. He has only 3 Clicks.
Aes has the biggest vocab.
that study didnt takeinto account keith numerous alias'. keith would be 1st by a looong way, check his wikipedia page, he's been in the rap game for like 35 years+
Sean DiRocco good readin Cracked.com ..and, you're right. But Keith is no slouch. He has been at it forever and he just flows... or, I am just a grubby backpacker and I don't care lol
Love Keith's voice. Its sooo Koool 😎
From my hometown! KK is legendary. He was light years ahead of his time! Many People think they understand the history of Hip-hop.....listen to this documentary. You'll learn things.
Kool Keith will always be an 11 year old boy. Creativity at maximum... The God of Rap
2021 still blue flowers!
kool keith is a emcees emcee for the real heads DOPE
"I'm Treacherous fire!" part on this. Lol! Keith has always been the dopest and very original! One sharp dude w a impressive rap history!
KK is always on top of my playlist!! Original and fresh everytime he drops anything!! #1 to me. :::=^)
Back in the day when I was a kid I used to think that Kool Keith and LL Cool J were secretly the same person. Lol
The Ultramagnetic era was impeccable. Great hip hop vibe!
Kool Keith one of the greatest rappers easily most original
This is really cool! I love Kool Keith and he's got an interesting perspective cause he's always done things differently. He deserves more credit for being such a pioneer and making great music
He is awesome 😎😍
KOOL KEITH is the man! He and Ced Gee made UltraMagnetic MC's become worldwide to this day. Most Definitely influenced many MCs. His style is legendary. Me and Premier were like dope fiends when it came to Ultra. He even sought out the studio where they recorded the first Ultra album and made his first Gang Starr album there as well.
he made an album with G>U>R>U???
@@growmiezhomiez8760 I think he is talking about DJ Premiers album with Guru
Salute to Kool Keith for discovering one of the most talented producers in hiphop in God father Don.
Gf Don does not get the props he deserves and its ashame but don just did nome new bangers wit #RahDeluxe joints are true 💎 💯
I love you Kool Keith, thank you for all you do
The pen is powerful
Ben Nash It is indeed. Mightier than the sword.
I was in Santa Barbara Ca. mid 90’s, and Tim Dog was supposed to perform and the money wasn’t right or some shit, so Tim dog didn’t go on… So Kieth showed up with a Cholo, and Got on stage and Rhymed to a beat for about 5 minutes. Well worth the ticket price.
Nothing kooler than Kool Keith wearing a Detroit Red Wings hat….shout out and respect from Detroit
Shoutout and respect from Muskegon!
There's a cabaret singer I love. Her name is Blossom Dearie. I read in her liner notes that she is an artist that doesn't inspire much middle ground opinion. I believe this about KK. You either love him or you hate him....I subscribe to the former.
IMHO, and it is only my opinion, Kool Keith is up there as one of the greatest rappers/producers of all time. Ultramagnetics blew the competition away, and what he went on to do after that was pioneering to say the least.
Sailing followtheboat "Number 1 Producer..."
Artistic,hip-hop Genius!!
"Going crazy & kooky as Kool Keith but, i'm actually weirder than-you-think, cause i'm".....
a living legend Eminem was heavily influenced by kool Keith
Enjoyed seeing Keith and Ultra live in Leeds a few months back in the UK after i missed his tour a few years back, when he was ripping up Scotland.
A big THANKS for this video and big respect for Kool Keith !
-‘it’s over now’ a stone cold classic rhyme ¥¥¥¥¥
Love this whole joint but the last 10 minutes is scientific, jewel droppin, authentic wisdom from a true artist...appreciated much.
Kool Keith 🔥 🔥 his verse on secret fantasy with Tim Dog is classic.. Im a day one Fan ..I still remember the adrenaline rush when I heard Popa large on radio for the first time .Very unique can't touch him Facts!!
Kool.Keith...You.Are.A..LIVING..Hip.HoP....God... God.Blessed.. The. Mc... Thanks.BigggBrother.. Never Stop..
I've known Keith aka Poppa Large for nearly 30 yrs... promoted & dist. many of his solo joints like "Sex Styles" & I was in San Fran. working for City Hall Dist. and met w/Kut Kurt, Q-Bert & Automator during the "Dr. Octagon" sessions... EPIC Recording (easily TOP 10 lyrics for ANY RAP concept album... Keith INVENTED so many styles; Abstract Funk w/Ultra Mags, Pornorap "Sex Styles", Impersario Flow ala Black Elvis) and he wrote ALL those lyrics like "BLUE FLOWERS" in a couple days. ILL Freestyler... and freak for the P! When I visited him w/Kut @ his Hollywood condo... he had 33 boxes of cereal, gallons of milk & his bathroom shower had dozens of used condoms stuck to walls, like gum under school desks! Dude is crazy, but like Johnny the Fox! RESPECT Dr. DOOM...Love you Mr. THORNTON aka Horseman #1. BET
The man the myth the legend!! Originator of a thousand faces and characters. But mostly of millions of damn good lyrix!! I was blessed to see him in Berlin with all three main characters. In a row of pure insanity and genius! Brilliant!! Much Love from Germoney
I used to hang with kool Keith when he lived in Hollywood apartment 223
Great times!!!
Fan since 2000 . Still on top his game
Truly the black Elvis. His lyrical forms are clouds on my brainstorm.
This documentary was funny, yet engaging at the same time. Those quick cuts to commercials was hilarious.
Dude is dope! Super futuristic ahead of the times & stayed... Still original.
Great interview and he said a lot of real hip hop culture honesty
Hip hop & rap legend 👏
I bumped into him on 34th Street Macy’s, very humble dude 😎
thank you for this. dude is no joke,,, on his own level. i hope he's still putting shit out when he's old and grey bc he is a trip
Matthew is my favorite album every track is dope
God father an creative mind that inspired a whole heap of generation emcees
Yup, and they include RZA, Ghostface, Redman and Keith Murray to name a few, you can hear Kool Kieth in all of them
+DJaySplitSecond and Eminem
