The Ultramagnetic MCs is a hip hop group made up of Kool Keith, Ced Gee, TR Love, and Moe Love. Tim Dog became an unofficial member in 1989. In 1990, DJ Jaycee was added as Roadmanager and backup DJ. A former member, Rooney Roon, was fired following an assault arrest. Beat-boxing legend Rahzel was also involved with the group early in its career. The group's work was associated with unorthodox sampling, polysyllabic rhymes, and bizarre lyrical imagery.
The Ultramagnetic MCs formed in 1984. Their first single was 1985's "To Give You Love" on the Diamond International label. The group's worldwide buzz started with "Ego Trippin'," its first 12-inch single on Next Plateau Records in 1986 that was the first hip hop song to feature the infamous "Synthetic Substitution" drum break sample. The song is still considered a hip hop classic. The group's next single was "Traveling At The Speed of Thought (Original)"/"M.C.'s Ultra (Part Two)" followed by "Funky/Mentally Mad," one of the most sought-after 12-inch singles of its career. Funky was based on a Joe Cocker piano sample later used as the basis for Dr. Dre and Tupac's California Love. It was released in 1987. This led to the release of the group's first album.
The Ultramagnetic MCs released a new school classic in 1988, Critical Beatdown, introducing many new sampling techniques. Many believe that without the group's primary producer, Ced Gee, the golden era of sampling may have looked very different. Ced, while uncredited, also produced the majority of Boogie Down Productions' seminal Criminal Minded. These albums are among the first to use "chopped" samples, rearranged and edited to change context. Both albums also feature many James Brown samples, which became very prominent in Hip Hop in ensuing years. KRS-One has been quoted as saying that he was very close to joining Ultramagnetic MCs early on. Paul C. was also a major contributor to Critical Beatdown, producing "Give The Drummer Some," and engineering most of the album. Paul C. also produced the Hip-House mix of "Traveling At The Speed Of Thought", which was used as the group's first music video, and was their sole release in 1989. The single's b-side, "A Chorus Line", became one of Ultramagnetic's most popular songs and introduced new group affiliate Tim Dog. A variation of the "A Chorus Line" instrumental was used as the basis of Tim Dog's debut single, the Ced Gee-produced "Fuck Compton", which became a modest hit and is credited with helping to spark the East coast/West coast feud of the mid '90s.
The group then disappeared for several years, breaking up temporarily in 1990. They returned on Mercury Records in 1992, with the album Funk Your Head Up. The album received a muted response, in part because many tracks had been given a commercial sheen, having been remixed by outside producers at the label's insistence. Alternate mixes of this album's songs along with unreleased tracks from the sessions have appeared on later compilations. The song Poppa Large, remixed by Da Beatminerz became a hit and remains a staple of Kool Keith's live show. The song's video featured Keith in a straightjacket, his bald head encased in a birdcage.
1993's The Four Horsemen was considered extremely strange though still brilliant, offering a darker, jazzier sound. It featured guest production and vocals by Godfather Don, who produced solo Kool Keith sessions in 1992 during another brief Ultramagnetic breakup. Some of those tracks appear on The Four Horsemen, and also on The Cenobites LP. The former was the last official album the Ultramagnetic MCs released until their 2007 reunion.
There were many semi-legitimate and compilation albums to follow, the most official of which was Next Plateau's The B-Sides Companion, which featured a new song, some unreleased 1989 songs recorded for a second Next Plateau LP and most of the group's classic singles, albeit in newly remixed form. Ced Gee and Moe Love both provided demos and unreleased songs spanning the group's entire career to Tuff City for a series of four albums which were released without Kool Keith's consent. A live album, Brooklyn To Brixton, was announced but abandoned.
As a reaction to Ced and Moe's involvement in the Tuff City releases, Kool Keith and Tim Dog reunited on the album Big Time, released under the name Ultra in 1997. Kool Keith went on to record many solo CDs, including several under aliases such as Dr. Octagon and Dr. Dooom. His abstract rhymes and syncopated, off-beat delivery influenced many rappers, including Pharoahe Monch from Organized Konfusion.
September 2024. One of the dopest records of all time, made by one of the greatest of all time. KOOL KEITH!!!!!
May 2024, still bumpin. Better than most music made these days🤘🏾✊🏾

Word. It's actually still being written as we breathe.
True

“I’m coming like beers...” Futuristic flowwww.
Great quote, my friend!😎👍
One of the most underrated HipHop groups. Legends.
That’s how they became 💯
Everytime I hear this song it gives me chills,this is a masterpiece
Yea man ive been bumping thus for like almost 20 years it still gives goosebumps. Guys a genius
Goosebumps rn bros, he really do communicate with the world
A fcking classic
Absolute timeless Lyric freak love it Till i die and mr funkyman from lord of the underground says i Hope they Makin Records up in Heaven 😂🙈
Hell yes
I keep in shape and do my physical fitness
Your head's numb, so your brains a miss this
Pick 'em up, eat 'em up, pick 'em up, heat 'em up
Pick 'em up picklehead, pick 'em up picky
I roll wit globs and I come real sticky
Grippin' the mic, I plug it up in your ears
Crazed and brewer. I'm coming out like beers
Like Rheingold, Miller, Coors, and Buds
I'm a eat 'em wit popcorn and treat 'em like suds you duds
Coming out the wick wack, wicky, wickable wack
Black jack, that's a fact, writing exact behind your back
The funk rhyme'n master, blaster
Kicking up in a brainstorm, rainstorm
Rap storm, rap form
Rap time, rap rhyme
Rap class, I'm here to fail and to pass
To continue, furthermore on the hype tip
I roll and rock, rock and roll
Jazz and pop, rhythm and Blues
Dance and fusion, brain confusion
Look at the lights, what a night on the town
[Hook]
I'm Poppa Large, big shot on the East coast (4x)
Now I'm back to funk, freak the funk
Hype the funk, swipe the funk and all that junk
I get busy on 'em, communicate wit the world
Man, woman, a baby boy and a girl
Poppa large looking out, the bombs drop
Taking stroud while your face and arms drop
Stop, look, learn to read, learn to write
Learn to talk, learn to walk
And watch your step though, I'm hype and ripe though
Kleptomaniac, a rhyme'n psycho
A Ricky Ricardo, a Guy Lombardo
Sporting a ragtop, an El Dorado
Step into Hollywood, I'm screening the boulevards
The rhymes is gain type, I'm ready to pull a card
Jack'a Ace, King'a Queen
Call me the deuce, I'm pouring out like juice
Hitting the top, feeling the rim
Getting a trim, I never rhyme like them
On and on, on and on, on and on
Until the break of dawn
I go overtime, rock the mic in nighttime
Daytime, switching off to Primetime
Pacific east, strolling back in the west time
Ride the funk wit the mic in the east rhyme
Hype and dope, hype the frame
The mic is smoking, yo I ain't joking
Rhyme to kill, rhyme to murder, rhyme to stomp
Rhyme to ill, rhyme to rock
Rhyme to smack, rhyme to shock, rhyme to roll
Rhyme to destroy any decoy boy
On the microphone
[Hook]
You're dripping sweaty, coming hard on your neck
As I flow and grow from head to toe
Seeking a style like John McEnroe
Dissing 'em all, serving them wit the mic stand
Like Prince and Michael coming out wit a big band
The crowd is live, you can play as the manager
Run wit the money, I pull the trigger and damage ya
Boom, taking life more serious
I may sound lyrical and very mysterious
Rhymes are grip tight, program to kill more
A son of Sam, how could I be Gilmore?
Grabbing the mic, you see the dark and shadows
You're in living hell, without time to battle
The funk ignited, hands are writing, brains dividing
I'm coming out in sighting
Like I'm Blackula, a better man that Dracula
Spectacular and not irregular
In fact you are speaking impopular
Rhymes are moved and you can't be stop wit the
Beat as it goes to the rhyme that flows
Like a coke in a straw burning up in your nose
That's a bad habit, stepping out on stage one
Drop the mic, come and turn to page one
Look at the master, my rank is higher
My lyrical burns, your brain's on fire
[Hook]

Thank you!!!!!!
Thank You, for transcribing that, hopefully bringing more clarity, thus greater appreciation to K.Keith's "Octagon0logical" Abstract Prose - which is what Keith creates rather than "Bustin'" Rhyme. The common object of it is to appeal to the imaginative, sensual "left hand" (Right Brain Hemisphere) in order to express ideas and concepts which are "Lateral" thinking, intuitively abstract, and eccentric to those thought structures which we are used to using everyday, to describe the world at large. To invoke an Emotional response via surreal verse. Relevant, to genius, to those who can get it. Crazy to ridiculous to those who cannot. Same as anything anyone says. Prose WAS popular in Shakespeare's day, but is not so well used today. It is Pure Art. Good Job on the Transcript.
Thank you., wow
@@CyanBlackflower Thank you, great breakdown on Keiths' style
Thanks!
Old Prodigy fans should love this tune
was thinking the same thing
lol I just heard the sample in a poppy house track
Are you referring to slap my bitch up? That's from a different song and not his solo stuff

when hip hop head used to support artists instead of only complaining
@@hiphopheaven hmmm. i dont know what you mean by that ... but i take it that your kinda young... another thing that has become pase'... respect for ones elders... you youth learn how to be men or women from TV instead of your parents... think about that
@@jamesbutnz7904 I mean that good rap never stopped to exist but most old heads I saw always complains about the current state of hip hop but doesn't support any good artists hell they don't even buy new albums for old school artists who still drop new music.
You already know, got this 1 on VHS as well 😊
Yup Larry
That's real shit
Fuckin DOPE!!!
Kool kieth spits fire
Greetings to The Prodigy

Listening to this now you feel like hiphop lost something, its inner spirit or soul.
How am I 43 years old and never heard this song before
Just game over here.
Nice.
Great video, giving me lots of inspiration!
Tasty
Back in the good old days of ACTUAL hip hop
That was yesterday for any actual hip hop fan lmao ask Kook Keith who’s put out what a dozen albums in the last decade? I never get if y’all think the rappers in these videos think it’s somehow a compliment that you just ignore their modern music and just pretend it doesn’t exist 💀 not to mention all the dope going underground lyrical artists, many of which Keith has worked with. That dude is how old and he gets it lmao what’s your excuse? I swear if everyone had your attitude hip hop would’ve died in like the 90s If that
@@byHexted man, stop! I’m a DJ & only play underground, old school & “alternative” hip-hop. You need to speak that to the other folks & not me. 🤣🤣 FOH ( cues up Kool Keith’s “Blue Flowers”)
just unstoppable.
how was this lost!?!?!?!?
