Space Groove-Ultramagnetic MC's

[djstace63]

No doubt, Kool Keith and Ced Gee (for his innovative use of the SP12- first time a sampler was used ever in hip-hop- not to mention his inimitable creative techniques he created in manipulating his samples) were light years ahead of the competition. The landscape of hip-hop was forever changed when the UltraMagnetics came on the scene.  Period.

[Hump4free]

3:09 Well they call me Kool Keith, the lady's relief/No alias rapper, or Vulcan chief ... if he only knew how many nicknames he would come up with 26 years later.

[marzilyas]

@DJColdhard except Keith wrote his own rhymes, and was (and is) infinitely better

[nem700]

money mike!!

[Didac1111]

So real, it's so real, I love this song!!!! I just can smell the streets of 1985 South Bronx.

[thegroove2000]

Gotta love kool kieth.. A BROTHER FROM ANOTHER GALAXY!!!

[atl2maryland]

@Mohammets apples and oranges is comparing a spaceship to a bike... not two rappers from the same city, same era that both are very lyrical driven MC's with aggressive battle style rapping.

[kers1ecm]

And still light years ahead of his time. The uncrowned king shits all over the standard mc....

[FunkleFesta]

Seriously though... Why so little view's? and why when I forward this to people they don't like it?

[homicidelab]

kool keith is god...hands down...his style has always been ahead of it's time...this song was in 85 and the lyrics are still on some other shit...keith is the greatest...

[undergroundflowin]

This track is incredible for 85', way ahead of its time

[Mohammets]

@atl2maryland And he still got better after Octagon. I'll take Project Polaroid or Diesel Truckers over Octagon any day. Dr. Dooom 2 and the album he did with 54-71 were wild too.

On another note, I thought I was the only guy around putting him up against Rakim and KRS. But then again, they're TOTALLY different, so it's kinda apples-to-oranges.

The truth is that Keith just doesn't get the respect he deserves from the hip hop community. It's bullshit.

word

[marzilyas]

in a three dimension's world, this groove a twirl

[SubRosaStructure]

Keith was cuttin edge from day one. "7:30, Bronx out da hospital."

[MongoSlade84]

his fucking flow is god dammed broken, and this shit is like 1985 and shit.

[meechamaka411]

Ced Gee loved samplin' that Bob James' "Nautilus" joint...LOL...this song, Bait, a joint on the Critical Beatdown album!!! This is HOT...

[LeKs4]

[LeKs4]

This is History...

[cfvasconcellos]

[beefhat1]

ha, keith cracks me up in that picture

[RapSince99Sucx]

haha

[funkhausen]

Best years of hip hop in mine humble opinion, 1982 - 1986 (the neon light years) FRESH! This track was way ahead for it's time (lyrics). I know ,i lived it.

[nemesis700]

they were killin it...i think keith is better then rakim

[Antilluminati]

Possibly, Rakim had more of a badboy image going for him while UMC's did some innovative shit. Unfadable lyrics.

[RapSince99Sucx]

true

[nativemath]

Keith is dead nice lyrically, but I would not say that he is better than R. The R's a rolling stone....who's thought don't break. I'd say R displays a more on-point, stick to the topic flow - based on what I've heard of both MC's. No doubt, they both incredible.

[atl2maryland]

I mean yea Rakim's style was packaged in a way that would appeal to more people. I felt like Kool Keith when he was UMC's always stayed on topic.. the topics were just more abstract.

[Antilluminati]

This is the shit!

[quilope]

Aw, man. This shit has under 1,000 views and no-talent ass-clowns like Little Wayne, T-Pain and Soldier Boy (to name just a few) are selling tons of records? Makes me ashamed of what hip-hop/rap has become. Long live Kool Keith!!!

[RapSince99Sucx]

well put yo

[icedem34]

i feel u g i cant even wach BET with out changin da channel on da first song

[damiencaze]

Oh yeah baby.

[gustaafNL]

Awesome song _O_!!!

[atl2maryland]

KOOL KEITH.. one of the greatest rappers ever.. if not the greatest.

[user81186]

[reflux043]

[jrok1978]
