Thank You, for transcribing that, hopefully bringing more clarity, thus greater appreciation to K.Keith's "Octagon0logical" Abstract Prose - which is what Keith creates rather than "Bustin'" Rhyme. The common object of it is to appeal to the imaginative, sensual "left hand" (Right Brain Hemisphere) in order to express ideas and concepts which are "Lateral" thinking, intuitively abstract, and eccentric to those thought structures which we are used to using everyday, to describe the world at large. To invoke an Emotional response via surreal verse. Relevant, to genius, to those who can get it. Crazy to ridiculous to those who cannot. Same as anything anyone says. Prose WAS popular in Shakespeare's day, but is not so well used today. It is Pure Art. Good Job on the Transcript.
now that im 44 and showing this to my brethren who are all MCs.......im super convinced that this being on the Box back in the day is partly what made us all rhyme so original and strange. I remember so much of this vid and the rhymes and cant even know how it got stuck in my head. way over my head when I was a kid but it still sounds so perfect now that I understand every measure
Ofcourse there's others like it. Kool G Rap, Big Daddy Kane and Treach from Naughty By Nature have done the exact same flow, and before Kool Keith did it.
(1:14) my favourite bit, used in SO MANY samples... "Now I'm back to funk, freak the funk Hype the funk, swipe the funk and all that junk I get busy on 'em, communicate wit the world Man, woman, a baby boy and a girl"
This was the only Ultramagnetic MC’s video I remember seeing on Yo! MTV Raps and/or Rap City back in ‘92. It really made an impression on me, as it was probably the most unique MCing I’d seen up to that point. Then when Wu came through, this provided some context and precedence.
one of the single nicest beats of this era, without a doubt. Funk Your Head Up could have been an excellent album without interference from their label. this dark, gritty style of production is exactly what that album was lacking .
@@leachjason111 yea the FYHU version of this track is really underwhelming. tbf the Beatminerz remix instrumental is one of the most insane hip hop instrumentals ive ever heard, but the original Poppa Large sounds weak even if you compare it to other tracks off the album.
I've been listening to a lot of The Four Horsemen lately. I have known about Kool Keith for a minute but for some reason was sleeping on Ultra. "Bring It Down To Earth" is my favorite song right now. I gotta check out Funk Your Head Up.
The first time I saw this all my hairs on my neck stood on end. Keith was leading field in originality, wordplay , style, fashion, kids don’t know how much he shook up the game. 🫡
A Ricky Ricardo, a Guy Lombardo, sportn a ragtop and El Dorodo, Gettn d trim, I Never rhyme like dem 🔥, Seekin a Style 😂, people weren't ready for this Silence Of The Lambs type ish in 92
Before this track I remember hearing kool kieth in tracks and in dj mix shows. His rhyming always stood different amongst many rappers like I mean he was in a different level rapping but after seeing this video in 89 I became a huge fan of his.
In the '90s it was these guys Kool Keith and Lords of the underground as my all-time favorites. Rap after that wasn't the same it was like they left out the creativity
I was a Sophomore in High School when I first heard this. REAL HipHop was Blowin Up and in Full Effect. The Industry will never come close to Producing such Talent like that again.
I NEVER SOUND LIKE THEM - on Gawd this video has lived rent free in my head since it dropped. There are lyricist and them there are PREMIUM lyricist…best believe its lonely at the top too. Salute Kool Keith 🫡 !!!!
Diego Chaves Nah. That would be the late,great Rammellzee. Keith,Funkmaster Wizard Wiz,MF Doom,Biz,Volume 10,ODB,Circus,Dose One etc.,are all his sons.
Been listening to to ultramagnetic mc’s and kool Keith since early 90s. Some reason I don’t remember this video of this classic. Thank you for sharing.I’m poppa large big shot on the east coast!
I didn't understand what the fk he was talking about back then but compared to what is out now, he makes perfect sense. Waaaaay ahead of his time salute bruh
They're on my list of favorite hip-hop groups ever. Ultramagnetic MCs Brand Nubian Public Enemy EPMD Wu-Tang Mobb Deep Whodini Run DMC Nice & Smooth Main Source Heavy D and the Boyz MOP Poor Righteous Teachers BDP Jungle Brothers Poison Clan 2LiveKrew X-Clan U.T.F.O Stetsonic Salt N Pepa I could go on and on... I wish it were like this again.
One of the all time favorite rap track for me. I love Ultramagnetic MC’s , they got lot of good tracks… give a drummer some… so on. This is still dope more than any of new trash ” rap”
This was my favorite rap group when I was younger. I use to dress like them to a tee !!! I had the 20-Below Tim's and the 40s, my Ced-G flat top and the whole 9 yards.
"mAAAaahn, Keith mastered rap so early it's unreal & by my uneducated guess, bored by normality, forged a genre to which only he is capable of contributing too. all thanks be t boredom it seems" - Mathew

This will never get old it was made tommorow
Word. It's actually still being written as we breathe.
True

“I’m coming like beers...” Futuristic flowwww.
Great quote, my friend!😎👍
Everytime I hear this song it gives me chills,this is a masterpiece
Yea man ive been bumping thus for like almost 20 years it still gives goosebumps. Guys a genius
Goosebumps rn bros, he really do communicate with the world
A fcking classic
Absolute timeless Lyric freak love it Till i die and mr funkyman from lord of the underground says i Hope they Makin Records up in Heaven 😂🙈
Hell yes
One of the most underrated HipHop groups. Legends.
That’s how they became 💯
I keep in shape and do my physical fitness
Your head's numb, so your brains a miss this
Pick 'em up, eat 'em up, pick 'em up, heat 'em up
Pick 'em up picklehead, pick 'em up picky
I roll wit globs and I come real sticky
Grippin' the mic, I plug it up in your ears
Crazed and brewer. I'm coming out like beers
Like Rheingold, Miller, Coors, and Buds
I'm a eat 'em wit popcorn and treat 'em like suds you duds
Coming out the wick wack, wicky, wickable wack
Black jack, that's a fact, writing exact behind your back
The funk rhyme'n master, blaster
Kicking up in a brainstorm, rainstorm
Rap storm, rap form
Rap time, rap rhyme
Rap class, I'm here to fail and to pass
To continue, furthermore on the hype tip
I roll and rock, rock and roll
Jazz and pop, rhythm and Blues
Dance and fusion, brain confusion
Look at the lights, what a night on the town
[Hook]
I'm Poppa Large, big shot on the East coast (4x)
Now I'm back to funk, freak the funk
Hype the funk, swipe the funk and all that junk
I get busy on 'em, communicate wit the world
Man, woman, a baby boy and a girl
Poppa large looking out, the bombs drop
Taking stroud while your face and arms drop
Stop, look, learn to read, learn to write
Learn to talk, learn to walk
And watch your step though, I'm hype and ripe though
Kleptomaniac, a rhyme'n psycho
A Ricky Ricardo, a Guy Lombardo
Sporting a ragtop, an El Dorado
Step into Hollywood, I'm screening the boulevards
The rhymes is gain type, I'm ready to pull a card
Jack'a Ace, King'a Queen
Call me the deuce, I'm pouring out like juice
Hitting the top, feeling the rim
Getting a trim, I never rhyme like them
On and on, on and on, on and on
Until the break of dawn
I go overtime, rock the mic in nighttime
Daytime, switching off to Primetime
Pacific east, strolling back in the west time
Ride the funk wit the mic in the east rhyme
Hype and dope, hype the frame
The mic is smoking, yo I ain't joking
Rhyme to kill, rhyme to murder, rhyme to stomp
Rhyme to ill, rhyme to rock
Rhyme to smack, rhyme to shock, rhyme to roll
Rhyme to destroy any decoy boy
On the microphone
[Hook]
You're dripping sweaty, coming hard on your neck
As I flow and grow from head to toe
Seeking a style like John McEnroe
Dissing 'em all, serving them wit the mic stand
Like Prince and Michael coming out wit a big band
The crowd is live, you can play as the manager
Run wit the money, I pull the trigger and damage ya
Boom, taking life more serious
I may sound lyrical and very mysterious
Rhymes are grip tight, program to kill more
A son of Sam, how could I be Gilmore?
Grabbing the mic, you see the dark and shadows
You're in living hell, without time to battle
The funk ignited, hands are writing, brains dividing
I'm coming out in sighting
Like I'm Blackula, a better man that Dracula
Spectacular and not irregular
In fact you are speaking impopular
Rhymes are moved and you can't be stop wit the
Beat as it goes to the rhyme that flows
Like a coke in a straw burning up in your nose
That's a bad habit, stepping out on stage one
Drop the mic, come and turn to page one
Look at the master, my rank is higher
My lyrical burns, your brain's on fire
[Hook]

@@CyanBlackflower Thank you, great breakdown on Keiths' style
Thanks!
Kool Keith is one of most lyrically abstract emcees to ever command over a microphone. A Hip-Hop legend and a true emcee straight up
Kool Keith 4 President
Dr Octagon 4 Secretary of Health
Shut your corny ass up
Nope
Aesop Rock has him beat
@@Al_Gore_Rhythmn😂 music is subjective theyre all so insanely talented and influential aesop rock is insanely good
Ridiculous beat and Kool Keith's lyrics were beyond amazing, next level!!!
Big Stacks
"I'm here to fail and pass to continue."
That beat is insane!!
Damn this track hard.
Critical Beatdown or The Four Horsemen....Which one you got?
@@davidlopez1820 Critical Beatdown all day!!!

Old Prodigy fans should love this tune
was thinking the same thing
lol I just heard the sample in a poppy house track
Are you referring to slap my bitch up? That's from a different song and not his solo stuff
Diesel power
This song gets sampled in so many electronic tracks now
It’s 2023 and Poppa Large still goes hard!!!
This dude is going off.. I miss old school hip-hop. Nothing like it.
He kinda reminds me of Flavor Flav
He is going off!
Kool Keith. One the most influential emcees ever.
Ofcourse there's others like it. Kool G Rap, Big Daddy Kane and Treach from Naughty By Nature have done the exact same flow, and before Kool Keith did it.
@@espaciofantazma901 yoke the joker- sick!
This song saved my life twice. Thank you, UMs.
If you ever need or want help feel free to reach out homie. I mean it.
That beat is insane!!
Damn this track hard.
Genius level wordplay and flow.
Keith had that voice...and he was way ahead of his time..
Favorite version hands down 🙌
Yes by far
Interessante o final da série do Mine, muito realista essa textura aí🤘
Absolute cinema
This is the greatest classic and masterpiece at the same time. It's golden era collection was dope!
Kool Keith is an underrated Goat should be in every true heads top 10
the extra long winter coats or keith wearing a straight jacket with ball shorts
& tims I cant decide which is more classic
Kool Keith indeed was "The greatest MC in the world."- Kool Keith in Critical Beatdown. He was Ultra Mag MC's.
(1:14) my favourite bit, used in SO MANY samples...

Raise it up also got a lot of airplay... outside of that I think u may be right
🤔FACTS💯
I used to see Traveling At The Speed of Thought on the box all the time back in the late 80's
Two brothers with checks was the other one I remember, video was bananas.
@@altaariq but the box was only in New York
one of the best lyricial rap songs ever kool keiths rhyme patterns was crazy here.
And at 1992.. dude was always ahead
One of the most gifted and underrated mc
I remember this 1992 , 1993 !!! 👍🗽👍
one of the single nicest beats of this era, without a doubt. Funk Your Head Up could have been an excellent album without interference from their label. this dark, gritty style of production is exactly what that album was lacking .
