Thornton's early career and lyrics with the Ultramagnetic MC's often referenced his time as a patient of Bellevue, a psychiatric hospital, where he was treated for depression. With Ultramagnetic MC's, his abstract style developed, maturing in songs like Poppa Large. He was probably the first rapper to create an alter ego, and then create an alter ego for that alter ego (Kool Keith v. Moe Luv). After the Ultramagnetic MC's broke up, he expanded his resume, experimenting with new styles, including his self-described pornocore, known for pornographic imagery and brutal, abstract lyrics. Sex Style released in 1997, was the showcase for this genre.
Teaming up with Dan the Automator Nakamura under the name Dr. Octagon, Thornton again reinvented his image, recording the self-titled Dr. Octagon album (later reissued under the title Dr. Octagonecologyst) which was released by the English trip hop label Mo Wax. The album received critical acclaim, though mainly from sources outside the mainstream hip-hop community. The critical success of the album helped to open the accessibility of the underground hip hop scene to an appreciative audience. For Dan the Automator, this album laid the foundation for a burgeoning career and accolades as a producer; for Thornton, the success of Dr. Octagonecologyst seemed to put him in danger of being typecast as a "space and Mars" rapper, or an industry tool, which he throughout his career has looked down upon.
His style as a whole is characterized by non sequiturs and bizarre commentary, particularly anal, fecal and genital references. For example, "Chief administrator suck my oil," "Dr. Ludicrous I turn into an octopus," "All this jealousy shit is mayonnaise and celery shit," "Two drinks minimum, don't worry, we're maximum," etc. An instrumental version of the album, Instrumentalyst, showcased the production, became a rising success with most of the credit given to Dan the Automator and other collaborators, even though Thornton is credited on the LP with some production duties.

Gina Called
Kool Keith Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Angie called, she naked over here
Monica called, she naked over here
Evelyn called, she naked over here
Terry called, she naked over here
Tina called, she naked over here
Barbara called, she naked over here
Everybody called, they naked over here
Rated X, standin? naked behind yo' couch
S&S gear men, put the fruit in your lady's mouth
Pull the thong to the side, butt-licker, take it down south
She won't be mad if you rub her hair with a condom bag
1-900 sex talker, cops can't stop the window peeker
Sex stalker, black, Chinese, security have fire extinguisher
Baby, I'll hit yo' butt crack
Walk to the kitchen grab a Trojan pack, I'll be back
Double team, tag team
Your wife want me and Jack, dude
See dude, we come rude
Leave the room smellin? like seafood
Tina called, she naked over here
Angie called, she naked over here
Monica called, she naked over here
Evelyn called, she naked over here
Terry called, she naked over here
Tina called, she naked over here
Barbara called, she naked over here
Cindy called, she naked over here
Everybody called, they naked over here
Towels in bath and beyond
My aunt Jemimah pancake syrup is all gone
For the crushed cherry
I get off when your hotbox is super wet
Trimmed and a little hairier
No restaurants, stores are closed
Suffocate me like Nelly said take off ?All Yo? Clothes?
Under the hood mechanics
I check the engine when they sit on my nose
With the leather mask, I'm professional, starin? at thongs
Dark shades, I see through them dresses real fast
New outfits make you dance under my strobe light
And pay me cash
Girls with the Escalades, pullin? out them mall applications
Conceited with the perfect ass
30 miles, the camera's ready, put on your booty shorts
You need gas
Tina called, she naked over here
Angie called, she naked over here
Monica called, she naked over here
Evelyn called, she naked over here
Terry called, she naked over here
Tina called, she naked over here
Barbara called, she naked over here
Cindy called, she naked over here
Everybody called, they naked over here
Ladies in the mirror, starin? at the butt it's gettin? big
Trust I freak, hop in the rig
You sport the high heels with the red wig
Sexually, I bet you be chargin? up a dollar to holler
A dog stuck in the booty, your face mad Rudy
Mr. Goonie with looney
You know you get down with Reggie, it's our duty
I'll come down to sound
