After single-handedly redefining גwarpedג as the mind and mouth behind the Bronx-based Ultramagnetic MCגs, גKoolג Keith Thornton, aka Rhythm X, aka Dr. Octagon, aka Dr. Dooom, headed for the outer reaches of the stratosphere with a variety of solo projects. A onetime psychiatric patient at Bellevue, Keithגs lyrical thematics remained as free-flowing here as they ever were with the N.Y. trio, connecting up complex meters with fierce, layers-deep metaphors and veiled criticisms of those who גwater down the sound that comes from the ghetto.ג
2008 will see the return of Dr Dooom, produced by KutMasta Kurt. This album will be huge! One of the more underrated producers and DJs in the West Coast underground, KutMasta Kurt initially made his name working with Kool Keith, during which time he first donned his trademark Mexican wrestling mask. Kurt began DJing in the Bay Area. As his reputation grew, local MCs began to approach him about producing tracks. Kurt bought some basic studio equipment and taught himself to use it. After a few remixes for the likes of Tim Dog, Buju Banton and Mic Geronimo, Kurtגs friendship with the groundbreaking, underappreciated Ultramagnetic MCגs paid off when, in 1994, ex-leader Kool Keith tapped Kurt to handle DJ and production duties for his new solo career. Kurt produced a couple of tracks on Keithגs landmark Dr. Octagon album, but their first full project together was 1997גs גSex Styleג, the first album released under Keithגs own name. Kurt also helmed Keithגs album as Dr. Dooom, 1999גs גFirst Come, First Servedג, and 2000גs גMatthewג.
By the time גMatthewג was released, Kurt had begun to build his own career apart from Keith. He provided remixes for the likes of the Beastie Boys, Planet Asia, Rasco, Luscious Jackson and Blackalicious, among others. He also formed his own label, Threshold, and in 2000 released the full-length album גKutMasta Kurt Presents: Masters of Illusionג, a collaborative project that featured Kool Keith and underground MC Motion Man.
Skip ahead to 2008 and the Dr. Dooom comeback. The album is titled גDr. Dooom 2″ and itגs the type of release that everybody will be talking about.

Album is as good as Ill Bill's Hour Of Reprisal.

this is a solid album. it's not quite on par with past material - imo (e.g. call the cops, though the album does have its shining moments) , but i've only given it one listen. hopefully repeated listens will allow this to grow on me.
"how does the rest compare?"
if you're feelin' the out your ass joint, you'll appreciate the rest of the album.
"has this leaked?"
yes.
