  • this is great like a manifesto for waking up thanx  keep it comin bro

  • "Apathy Kills" wake up.

  • Search Fanatik-J to hear the real tracks from these sessions. Fanatik and Keith were tight before the record company got involved.

  • this is the shit u guys suck in arent using good drugs because trees are dying

  • makes a very good point makes you wounder y they say hip hop is dead because hiphop is the truth and they cant have children listen to people like this. because they will wounder y governments do this to the earth for money witch means fuck all! its only what we believe it to be !

  • What is this, hmm I like it!

  • Suck As$ Song Stupid As Shit

  • hey at least its better than lil wayne

  • @therealbrooksie AMEN!!!!!

  • @crosbysucksdicks ikr tha carter 3 gets praise and this doesn't wtf

  • this sounds whack, but has keith's lyrics in it... it's a fuckin disgrace

  • Comment removed

  • I hadn't heard any of this album. I feel so terrible for Keith. No wonder he was so mad. It's like they were purposefully insulting him, knowing his previous work. He's always been so anti-industry and mainstream, in almost hurts listening to this.

  • At least keith isnt afraid 2b different...Its not like it aint his voice. Rappers change their mind about shit to do with labels all the time;mostly as a result of things the label changing their mind about how a project will be released- In this case all that matters is there is a kool keith music video with dancing trees, a semi-meaningful ,tangible plot.Its something you can understand which is more than I can say for the majority if his music...

  • KOOLKEITH is the shiznit!

  • I'm curious how many trees were harmed in the making of this.

  • this production seems to turn about twelve seconds of actual rapping into a whole song.

  • Oh, now I can really understand this song better. I'm sorry if any one can expect the reality of the world, but the truth is if we don't make the move to renewable energy the trees will be gone and pollution will rule with a wealthy few at the top. Check out this documentary called Ethos hosted by actor Woody Harrelson. It is free to watch on the website. May be some of you will understand this video that don't seem to.

  • To everyone that thinks this is gay, for one, this video is more creative then all those others right now, instead of a bunch of hoes and shit cars. And for the song itself again at least its about something more then hoes and shit cars. I mean damn people get a grip

  • @51dumbdumb shut the fuck till you know the back story. this is horrible shit because they release it under his permission and its SHIT because of that. stop being a pussy and sucking up cause you like him don't mean you have to like EVERY song. because you know you don't like this..!

  • @dj11sk8 Dude all I said was I like this song, not every song he has every made. (I dont even know all of them all) Even if it was releashed wrongly, it is STILL better then half the "Music" on the radio. No matter the story is behind this song, its still a good song.

  • Wow this is gay.

  • @evilconcarne444 Is that a compliment?

  • FUCK TREEEEEESSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • wow, this song a retarded as hell.... i mean, YAY, go being eco, but the song SUCKS

  • that beat is not hiphop. fucking mark ronson type shit...gay

  • Dumb song for dumb stupid people. No doubt.

  • this shit was surgically created out of binary cell transplants and chicken liver cloning.

  • this song would go in jet set radio.

  • @UncommonSense777 haha made me lol

  • dope video

  • LoL :D

  • younger black Bill Nye?

  • @Xlenia fuckinn billl nye totally forgot about him. BILL BILL BILL BILL

  • I remember buying Octogonecologyst on a whim in '98 or '99...Thought it looked cool and the song titles were pretty warped.

    Blew my f*cking mind.

    Did the same thing a couple years earlier with Clutch's s/t album with an identical result.

    Sometimes you just have to take a chance.

  • i like beat but wtf he saying i thing keith and dan shold have got back too get in do the return of "dr.octagon" insted of one watt sun

  • Go read the interview at The Onion's AV Club.

  • GREAT ¡¡¡¡

  • the song is good but i dont like the video..

  • Yeah, The Return was sort of an industry mutation; Keith had very little control of the project, and I think that this was one of the few songs on the album that he actually recorded vocals for.

    With that said, the song itself isn't that great. The production is just not the kind of shit you should layer Keith over. They should've at least TRIED to emulate the creepy sci-fi sound from the first Dr. Octagon project. It's hard to enjoy any of Keith's verses with that annoying, bubbly dance stuff.

  • The actual video is kind of interesting. I wonder why the label would bother making something so elaborate to promote what was essentially a high-production-value bootleg.

    And for all of you arguing about a deeper meaning, I hate to disappoint but it's just some silly song about trees dying from pollution. I don't think Keith is terribly concerned for the environment, but just wanted to write some lyrics about trees dyin'. Have fun arguing like pretentious babies.

  • dont disrespect dr octagon he will send you to jupiter

  • I love this dudes shit and all but he doesn't do the political rap game very well at all. Keep doin' your thing though.

  • tunne!!!

  • Moi je suis d'accord pour dire que c'est vraiment de la grosse merde.

  • this songs bullshit

    this whole album is bullshit as a matter of fact

    kool keith gave cmh records a bunch of recordings of rapping and goofing off

    to complete his contract even kool keith dislikes this album

  • @crazynukka168 oh yeah. the new cd i don't like at all. the first one i love though

  • can you at least put i heard or i read and not act like you know this nigga

  • and as the rest of you guys who dont get this song please shut up or fuck off seriously

  • the message in this video by Dr. Octagon is really well done and unique. Hes saying how materialistic man aka modern man is aimlessly destroying itself along with nature. To all the peoples that dnt care or have time to care, to hell with you?

  • im glad you clear all this up for all these dumbass people on here. I though I was the only one getting this song. thank you its cool to see someone like you who seems to understand music really well

  • lol duecebug ur dumb air doesnt only come from trees its from plants and underwater plants the relese that shit u dumb fuk

  • @trashmug9978 - THE CLASS OF YOUTUBE STRIKES AGAIN!! thanks captain obvious! we know that.. and im pretty sure that plants are cut down along with all the trees in the rainforests- which is exactly the point he was trying to make, when someone said they dont get the meaning of the song. stop being such an internet toughguy and calling names- it shows how insecure you really are- and you aint no smarty pants kicking knowledge, so stop trying to pretend you are, "u dumb fuk"

  • extinct like the elephant

  • really old shit, hell sometimes creativity gets confused whit senselessnes

  • the dumbest shit iv ever seen

  • At first when he said trees are dying I thought he was talking about smoking pot.

  • TRILL TALK BABY TRILL

  • This album wasn't very good, but this song is awesome. You can feel the octagon in this joint.

  • I love this track so much

  • LOL! man this is wack!

  • when you run out of air to breathe because of all the tree being cut down it will maybe make a little more sense to you (that is if you arent dead already) THIS SONG IS THE TRUTH! NO, ITS NOT ABOUT JEWLRY GUNS OR HOES BUT REAL LIFE ISSUES. GREAT SONG FROM A GREAT MASTERMIND OF HIP HOP

  • what happened to ultramagnetic mcs sex style and masters of illusion shit this is the wakest tune ever! you fell of kieth

  • when you run out of air to breathe because of all the tree being cut down it will maybe make a little more sense to you (that is if you arent dead already) THIS SONG IS THE TRUTH! NO, ITS NOT ABOUT JEWLRY GUNS OR HOES BUT REAL LIFE ISSUES. GREAT SONG FROM A GREAT MASTERMIND OF HIP HOP

  • try listening too some of kool kieths older stuff i think you will find its much better

  • this is some serious crap, also elephants arnt extinct, go die

  • @BentGear - He's talking about Mammoths.

  • I can't believe Keith released this as an actual track... I hope he only did this for the money.

  • This is from the album "The Return of Dr. Octagon". Keith requested that the label not release the record. The recordings were produced very poorly without any involvement with Keith and released without his permission.

  • @bricitybrac Well he still made the song didn't he? If it wasn't for this song I may have never found out about Kool Keith who was from the Undramatic MC's. Its one of the coolest Hip Hop and Rap songs I've ever heard, and a unique one at that. The video couldn't be cooler, and going for a better cause. Some trivia, Keith is the self-proclaimed inventor of Horrorcore and Pornocore. Thats more so what this type of music is. I think the younger crowd just might like it better.

  • @bricitybrac this album is probably keiths worst work, but it looks like they put some work into this video even though the song sucks.. they should have made the video for A gorilla driving a pickup truck lol.. and look how many views this video got.. and almost 800 likes.. this songs is shit lol his worst

  • what the hell is wrong with this song? it's funny and original. Who on the face of the Earth is making music like this? I can't think of anyone else besides Kool Keith.

  • the Doc rulezZz

  • i love this this tune its wicked relevant and whak

  • i hate this..

    keith come on go back to the Dr Octagonshit not this..

  • information is more concealed.

  • still keepin it legit! consciouss wit it atleast!

  • christ.. are they serious?

  • Say What!...Trees are Dying why wasnt we told earlier is what they gonna Say.......

  • Scientific study, chemical action buddy. MacGillicuddy!

    Information has NEVER been more accessible, fer Kreissake this is the Interweb numb nuts...

  • Dr Dooom put an end to this madness.

  • gr8 clip

  • this isnt even keith's good work.

  • Reallllll

  • hahahaha!!!!!

  • wheres the real return?

  • Bollox

  • Once again faggot, Keith has been around longer than Del. Comparing the two is like comparing apples and oranges anyways ya fuck.

  • @youthfatality

    What about DELTRON 3030? They're both on it. Do you have 5th grade PE tomorrow because you sound schooled...

  • FUCK THAT, TREES ARE DYING!!!...

  • So what? Let the trees die. Trees kill people. They fall on lumberjacks and hikers all the time. People are killed all the time when they drive off the road and go head on with trees. Also, birds like to hang out in tree branches and shit on my car. Trees are overrated. MAKE MORE PAPER.

  • LMAO. That was probably the funniest thing i heard today hah.

  • Such foul language. I'm going to have to go to Switzerland and eat some cheese, burn down a chalet and wash your mouth out with some soap. Tsk, Tsk.

  • shut the fuck up.

  • haha

  • haha WTF

  • にせ物!

  • lol oh no... its the original

    evacuate planet earth before its recycled

  • DOpe beat

  • The popular music press of today is worthless and unnecessary. Do people go to clubs and dance to record reviews?

  • If clubs and dance are the reason for the fruitlessness of modern music then maybe these establishments are worthless and unnecessary?

    Music says a lot about the time that it was recorded. Wouldn't it be embarrassing if the people living generations from now only remembered us by volumes and volumes of songs about booty and strippers?

  • Though not as good as the first Dr. Octagon record, I think this record was unfairly stepped on.

  • fake plastic trees

  • what do you mean its fake?

  • Dr. Octagon recorded these raps and phrases many years ago. They were not all part of one cohesive piece. The record label it was recorded on mixed them all together, gave it a beat, and here it is.

  • yup.. and considering Keith wasn't there when this was getting mixed kinda says something. As rapper/wordsmith he's tops but, when it comes to beats that's a different story.

    Case in point, his stuff with Dan the Automater is some of his best.

    Keith still goes down as one of the best ever. One only needs to see 'Global Enlightenment' to figure that shit out.

  • If only he'd just do a full album with Madlib, Pete Rock, or 9th wonder the world might just come to an end.

  • id probably shit myself if that happened....

  • fake.

  • "Back to the lab" are now my four favorite words in the English language.

  • Uhh isnt Dr. Octagon's world set in the future?

  • fake

  • Google East Bay Express Octagon Scam. Read the newspaper article. This stupid song is fake as hell.

  • "Keith has finally resurrected his old persona, albeit without any explanation or mention of the characters previous death and sans Dan the Automator, offering instead the less-memorable production talents of One Watt Sun."

    So this is the origenal track it seems, it was some information of the faked cd aswell

  • I actuly looked in to this stuff and found a page, some of what it said was this "The first real track of the album, Trees, is a definite highlight that gets things going on a strong note. The beat is a catchy, buzzy, even danceable (rare for Keith) combination of guitars and synthesizers, while the doctor drops his trademark off-kilter raps on, surprisingly, environmentalism."

  • yeah yeah ;-) :-)

    peace!

  • woooow damn what a sick track an vid!

  • Alot shit comin out today sounds like this track.. especially out of france.. (Justice, Daft Punk, Surkin, boys noize) way ahead of it's time..

  • Actually,Kool Keith got into electronica collaborating with dj spooky and the prodigy

  • So funny stoned!

  • One Watt Sun is crap. I'm still waiting for the Fanatik J album.

  • This would be good... if One Watt Sun had any integrity.

  • What a great knowledge pushing track. Revolution music!!!

  • sick track... funkyyyyyy

  • damn yeah thats awesome

  • ??????????????

  • "Kool Keith and Fanatik-J will be releasing the original, authentic "Return of Dr. Octagon" materials after the lawsuit is resolved."

    awesome.

  • So what was the lawsuit about? And when will the release be?

  • Fuk OCD Records! I hope Fanatik-J wins in court.

  • this is awesome. I love this song. at least someone writes something good.

  • Its fake and there is a lawsuit.

  • Well its catchy at least

  • this is ridiculous. fuck OCD!

  • Break yo self trees !!

    Match town and we will strike !

  • we kill the planet :(

    Trees are dying !

  • does anyone know where to get actual authentication about all these opinions that state the cd is "fake?" ...before i read too much into this negativity.

  • yeah man, its fake. i mean, it is really him on the track, but it was assimilated by some guys who make beats and then they took some vocal samples that he had recorded and never used and they threw together this song as well as like 4 other songs on this EP. just listen to the song and you'll be able to tell that its not a "vocal take," but more of a somewhat decent cut and paste job. its super sampled and edited. sucks, cause it could have been cool.

  • thanx, i appreciate the response

  • Fanatik-J has filed a million dollar suit in Federal District Court against CMH/OCD/Vitamin Records alleging Copyright Violations, Slander, RICO Violations (Racketeering, Influence, Corrupt Organzation Act-created to take-down the NY Mafia). CMH knowingly used his recordings with no authorization for "The Return of Dr. Octagon". The track for this video is from the rip-off album.

  • thanx, i appreciate the response

  • read this blog for news about the lawsuit:

    harkhiphop.blogspotDOTcom

  • thanks for the url

  • read the post below...

  • We shouldn't cut down trees! just kill off extra people who n eed houses or oxygen

  • I don't know about all this "fake" garbage, but it's a good song.

    I prefer automater to whoever made the beats for this album though.

  • FAKE FAKE FAKE!!!

  • KIETH SPITS THAT FORREST FIRE SON

  • FAKE.

  • BULL SH!T. I READ THE EAST BAY EXPRESS ARTICLE WHERE IT SAYS THAT KEITH AND FANATIK-J WERE RIPPED-OFF BY THE LABEL. It was in many papers.

  • Hahaha

    What ARE you on about? Did you even take any notice of my previous post?

    I'll say it again, the Bootleg album is called "Dr Octagon Part II" which is nothing to do with this.

    What's the matter with you?

    Look it up ;)

  • fake.

  • FAKE! All the proper Keith heads know that this is a scam.

  • funny clip, mates )) And doctor says the truth - trees are dying !((

  • Wow, this is pretty lame.

  • Keith himself hates this garbage. the people that put out the album ripped-off Keith. One star. Sucked.

  • Word.

  • PS: None of the comments I posted make sense unless you click the "View all comments" button and read them in order. Why does YouTube mess all the comments up? Whatever. This is a great song, whether Keith was directly involved or not. The moronic masses will never "get it", but damn, this track just BOUNCES. Great video too.

  • No.

  • Because it's fucking great? Yeah.

  • DARRRRrRrrrrr

    OMG IM GOIN WITH MAINSTREAM FOLKS N SAYING SHIT IS GREAT JSUT CUZ EVERYONE ELZE SAYZ SO DARRRRR.

    Fuck off.

  • Keith is real. Love this song.

  • dr. octagon is a g.

  • but paper is wood right... no.. it's not. paper comes from other things and i'm sure that you could make laminates out of hemp or bamboo which grow like crazy.

    mud works too... it's worked for the Plains Indians.

    so i guess yeah. who fucking needs trees.

  • The people who like to BREATHE.

  • Owned.

  • pothead idiot

  • yeah. u know houses made out of wood work too. or ummmmm it's the 21ST century how about houses made out of plastic. or how about concrete? or what about paper..? it is the twenty-first fucking century.
