Review

Now this is a very strange hip-hop album. If you take the concept behind it for starters you can see what I mean: A gynecologist comes from the year 3000 to face medical problems of today. And fuck.

That being said, the album is pretty good. The music is at the same time chilled and pretty innovative. The beats make this a really great album to have in the background while paying attention to the music will make you blush.

Still great to see truly innovative and fresh sounding hip-hop albums coming out. It is a real pity that not much more was heard from Dr. Octagon, barring a couple of vastly inferior albums. This is, however, a true classic.

Trivia

From Wikipedia:

In Dr. Octagonecologyst, Dr. Octagon is described as having yellow eyes, green skin, and a pink-and-white Afro. Further tracks detail a list of services offered by Octagon, who claims to treat chimpanzee acne and moosebumps, and relocate saliva glands. Octagon is described as being incompetent, as many of his surgery patients die as he conducts his rounds. Octagon also pretends to be a female gynecologist and often engages in sexual intercourse with female patients and nurses. Octagon's uncle, Mr. Gerbik, is described as being half shark, having the skin of an alligator, and is 208 years old.
