Members Kool Keith, Ced Gee, TR Love and Moe Love released their debut album Critical Beatdown in 1988 and inspired the world of hip hop with their original sound of unorthodox sampling, polysyllabic rhymes, and bizarre lyrical imagery. Produced by the now-legendary producer Paul C, Critical Beatdown ushered in a revolution in hip-hop which has unfortunately been obscured by the pop rap trend.
Kool Keith went on to work with many other groups and solo projects including The Cenobites, Dr. Octagon, Masters of Illusion and Dr. Dooom
Their work has been often sampled, most notably in the Prodigy song “Smack My Bitch Up” |
