  • Summary: Rapper Kool Keith's ninth album (second as Dr. Dooom) was produced with KutMasta Kurt.
Score distribution:
  1. Positive: 2 out of 7
  2. Negative: 1 out of 7
  1. 80
    While almost as good as that first Dooom album, only time will tell if this sequel can become another timeless classic in the Kool Keith catalog.
  2. It's counter-productive to analyze Keith's verses too carefully, because at some point they're just well constructed and well delivered jabberwocky.
  3. Even the most open-minded hip-hop heads might dismiss it simply based on Keith’s age and inconsistency over the past few years. But there are still shades of brilliance throughout, both in the raps and Kurt’s spacey production, so this one deserves at least a couple of spins before you look elsewhere.
  4. The record’s terminal mission aside, Keith’s latest exploit is one more chance to befuddle insipid rappers and flex his uncalculated argot.

    Keith's industry gripes are implicit from his two decade career as the Absurd Outside Rapper--so it's a shame he feels the need to come so blunt. [Dec 2008, p.74]
  6. Alternative Press

    Maybe if Keith had spent more time on his lyrics and less time watching reality TV, this would be a better album. [Dec 2008, p.152]
  7. Dr. Dooom 2 isn't Keith's worst album, but it doesn't do a whole lot to break recent trends.
