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 ↴
Keith get straight back to yo' shit
Straight back to yo' shit
A lot of motherfuckin bitches out there rappin
I'ma see ya motherfuckers
You in this motherfuckin game
I'ma treat you like a motherfuckin nigga
When you show me the pussy that's light pink
Make your asshole wink
Ain't no bitch out there rappin
With clean panties on, smell my hand
Motherfucker everything stank
Fuck a table for two, make a ho eat her own doo doo
Can in your rectum mouth bitch I'll blow out your boo boo
Female rapper, what you fuckin cuckoo?
Test your wig out, and pull my dick out
Turn around and spit in your mouth
Way past the buttcrack and fucked up thong
Long distance baby, call me from down South
Fuck a car, I take Amtrak down there and shit in ya mouth
Come to where you work at, and jerk off niggaz at
Your strip club address I know where you work off niggaz at
Your girlfriend kiss my asshole, playin blackjack
Pitty pat, I don't give a fuck about the territory
I adjust to how your city rap
The funk between your buttcrack
I'm guaranteed to piss on your titty rap, with full force
The golden age, on that ass, I'm full force
[Chorus: Kool Keith]
Oh, you think you're sexy baby? You think you're sexy
You think you're sexy, think you're sexy
You think you're sexy baby? You think you sexy
You sexy, sexy
[Kool Keith]
Dom P bottles, full with piss
Bitch look up eat the sperm off the potato chips
Watch the potatoes flip, cover your face with hors d'oeuvres
Fuck a tight ass body, I defecate on your curves
Egomaniac, I rub my cock on your nerves
With organic herbs, peck your pussyhole out like birds
See me on fifth cane, forty-ninth and third
I'm comin at you word, what the fuck?
Anything I hear, anything I heard
[Chorus: Kool Keith]
Sexy baby! You think you're sexy baby
You think you're sexy, upi think you're sexy
You think you're sexy baby? You think you sexy
You think you sexy, you think you sexy
[Kool Keith]
I'm comin at you motherfuckers, just like motherfuckin niggaz
We gon' get down to the grit in this shit
We gon' put some pussy and tits in this shit
We gon' bring the fork, and we gon' lift in this shit
Fuck you motherfuckers
{*moaning and sex sounds*}
The lyrics of Kool Keith's "Think You're Sexy" are explicit and vulgar, to say the least. The song is a rap anthem that challenges female rappers, claiming that there isn't any female rapper who can match his level of raunchy and sexually suggestive rap. The lyrics are laden with sexual innuendos and profanity. Kool Keith boasts of his sexual prowess, and he is not shy about sharing graphic details of his sexual encounters, including defecating on curves, making assholes wink, and making females eat their poop. The lyrics are also characterized by depictions of violent and demeaning sexual acts, including urinating on titties, forcing mouth blowouts, and jerking off niggas.
Overall, "Think You're Sexy" is a controversial song that has been criticized for its misogynistic content. The song objectifies and demeans women, portraying them only as sexual objects to be used and abused for the gratification of male pleasure. While the song can be interpreted as a critique of the hip-hop industry's rampant sexism, it is difficult to ignore the profanity and graphic sexual imagery that permeates the lyrics.
