Dr. Octagonecologyst

So goofy but so fun

I'm aware of Dr. Octagon and this album but I've never sat down to listen to this start-to-finish.

I quite enjoyed this and will be adding it to my list of albums to listen to again.

Eh.

ou pior que eh bão também

um climinha mais soturno, umas letra mais besta, sem se levar mto a sério, mas fazendo um trabalho mto pica. beat e flow impecáveis!!

The doctor diagnosed me with bees in my rectum.

It's good, decent beats and great flow. Once you get my head bobbing, it's a good rap album.

Really strange album. Why is this man so obsessed with the gynecologist?

I always try to think of something positive, so ... um, let me think...they referenced Kurt Cobain twice... and I quite like Nirvana.

4.25 had to get past the intro them it was all gravy.

Not even 30 seconds in and I'm just like ughhhhh. Interstitials were annoying as fuck, which docked this to a 1* for me.

Listenable. Not groundbreaking to my ear, but some early trip hop and pretty great Dj breaks. 3.

I think if I’d heard it back in 1996, there’s a strong chance I would have loved it, but in 2026 I thought it was decent if overlong.

Funny concept, but it was a bit too dirty and too long. It might work on a song or two, but a whole album was too much for me.

more crude, less talented version of mf doom. 3.5

Although the premise is a bit out there, the tunes aren’t bad. Interesting to read the lyrics which are quite a bit more science-y than most hip hop, and it’s delivered quite competently. It’s not something I’d be in a rush to listen to again, but probably good if you like that sort of thing

It’s interesting going through this list as a hip hop novice. I’m familiar with stuff played on the radio and a few big names, but can feel totally lost when I encounter something off the beaten path. That was definitely the case with this — had zero knowledge of Kool Keith or any of his many pseudonyms.

Musically, it instantly worked for me… trip hop is the most natural connection between hip hop and the music I like best. Loved the jazz foundation. Loved the spooky sci-fi sounds and samples.

The lyrics were definitely a shock having no idea what I was heading into. I’m used to gangsta rap braggadocio but wasn’t quite sure what to make of dinosaur farts and violating medical exams and Donald Duck giving head amidst the more accessible sci fi and horror tropes.

Honestly I was a little disturbed that I was so into it. I think it all worked for me because once upon a time I was a historian of medicine, so I know that the vast power we give to doctors is pretty contingent. Right below the surface are all the weird mad scientist tropes and the juvenile violence of cutting people open just to see what’s inside. I like that true character of Dr. Octagkn blows all those subtle distinctions apart.

Yeah, asometimes it’s silly or a little sick. And agree with everyone who says most rap albums of this era could be shorter. But I also appreciate that this era allowed for stuff that got sooo weird.

Some beats are not bad but the album is overall disturbing.

Yeee, no... I didn't want to listen to a podcast or an e-book.

Ooh a concept hiphop album?

You know how it is... you plough through 300 albums pining for a song about rectums, then you get an album full of rectal references. He should have called himself Dr. Proctagon!

I found the theme and lyrics a lot more interesting than the usual gangster-hoe-AK47-muthafucker-I'm-so-repressed posing braindead shite (I have Dr. Dre today - oh joy). But I bet a lot of the gynae humour will have upset the Gen Z-ers.

It definitely appealed to my sense of humour though.
Best hiphop i've had album so far.

Why do rappers refuse to release anything that's a solid 40mins?

It's unique, interesting, funny at times but runs too long and I wouldn't be revisiting.

2.5/5. Raising to 3.

3.63
