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.

Kool Keith Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
[Kool Keith]
I know this girl with her own crib in isolation
She's from Puerto Rico half black on vacation
Fine freak with thongs on whup me every week
Panties in service the big two's make her nervous
Bang you nice back doors I'm a scrape the floors
Look at your personal silk on the camcorder
Then hit bed springs my thumb's on the tape recorder
With big cups of Cristal, I'm a spank her well
If I lick you there, my girlfriend, I'm a tell
Rock your boots, and leave my style written on your cooch
With rubber demands, condoms in your soft hands
I got plans for booty work to catch a lap dance
That skirt is workin', and by myself, I be jerkin..
... on to the chorus
I want that purple Cadillac with the lime green rag top, yeah
Lovely lady, girl you drive me crazy [Repeat: x3]
She got me open, like two big scoops of Raisin Bran
Watchin' adult films, I'm part time her freak man
Thinkin' how she's cute, I got my mask on my eye
Lickin' splits that switch and change her whole voice pitch
"Ayyy papi, why you go so low?"
I got scuba divin' skills, the pros, stay below
Authorizin' a sign, she reflects with panty lines
She got her hair done, apartment two the girl is mines
Trippin' down the pants, she's wearin' spandex
And flower dresses, the booty to the max apex
I'm on my way, with Guinness Stout everyday
Jodeci tapes, H-Town, not bring 4Play
Couches are plush, no quickies ladies don't rush
You know my flavor, lubricated bareback
Stroke to get live, you melt down, when I tap the sack
Like Kojak, detective, I got your contraceptive
I know your perspective, if you get picked, I'm selective
Rubbin' you down, in baths, Calgon bound
You lookin' sexy smilin', in that soft nightgown
Baby love it when I blow bubbles, kiss her stomach
She's a dime piece, I popped up, on the East
The lady is ready, tell Duke I'm a rock her steady
Lovely lady, girl you drive me crazy [Repeat: x3]
Tight BM, she want to give me her W
Take me shoppin', do what I want to, do it when I want to do
I play the game right, work out that back tonight
Disco lights beam, dancin' at South side
She got her lingerie on, sippin' on ?
Emotional status, I'm puttin' tongues to the baddest
Bitin' the peaches, cherries open on the beaches
I got her turned out, screamin' in the bleachers
Eatin, her friends are mad gettin' jealous
Blockin' my great view, some knucklehead's down too
Who is it Wizard? I got the address I'm a visit
Go down solo, she workin' night, at the GoGo
New York City Ampex, she pays for my reels
She's admire me, her pockets with tons of bills
She lookin' good comin' from work
I hope she bought me a pair of them expensive ? reels
Lovely lady, girl you drive me crazy [Repeat: x3]
