listening to the intro like: ☹️ I felt a little redeemed on this one as I read the album blurb. "Dr. Octagon is an incompetent, time-traveling, possibly extraterrestrial surgeon who pretends to be a female gynecologist and molests his patients and nurses. The concept makes for some undeniably juvenile (and, arguably, hilarious) moments..." Well, juvenile, sure, let's keep reading - "Keith has since lost his taste for the album, tiring of hearing it compared favorably to his subsequent work, and complaining that the only new audience he gained was white." Honestly there's something very fitting about the idea that this album mostly brought underground hip-hop back to the attention of white people who had mostly moved on to different types of music after they stopped voyeuristically consuming the late 80's gangster rap (if this blurb is to be believed). It feels a lot like how popular Eminem got with his "my dark and twisted mind > : ]]] you can see it through my alter ego!!! it is HIM talking about doing these things" ....thing. Or maybe I'm just really boring and whiny and millenial for being mostly grossed out by this. Every time one song had a good groove and interesting enough lyrics it was like a guarantee the next one would be a creepy skit.
