um, unless "doo-doo" recently became a medical term, i wouldn't go around
calling Kool Keith's raps "psudo-science/psudo-medical". true he ponders at
one point over whether h2o is a gas or a liquid, but just about every other
line is about fucking, plain and simple. again, i'm not trying to put him
down, but lack of substance is one of the prime reasons most people don't
view (non-instrumental) hiphop as a viable art form, and with tracks as
utterly amazing as the ones he had to work with, there's no reason to have
done such childish, shallow raps as he did. give those beats to Jeru and
watch some serious science get dropped.
