Favorite Rap Skits #02 Dr. Octagon "General Hospital"

I will admit that I had no idea this was called "General Hospital" until right now, but this is the best 26 seconds on the Dr. Octagon album except maybe the other skit I don't know the name of where he tells you to "get in the water and touch the electric wires; here's some bread." OK, I guess I'm lying--"I'm Destructive" and "Girl Let Me Touch You There" are unstoppable. I mean, he's your orthopedic gynecologist. Kool Keith has very little understanding of how the medical industry, or medicine in general, works.

The skit comes in at track six or seven, and in listening through the album, by then you already don't quite know if he's an evil plastic surgeon, a space alien, or a malpracticing gynecologist, but now he's in a hospital, and people are dying of "cirrhosis of the eye," and I'm pretty sure Kool Keith, paging himself, just said "OH FUCK" on the hospital intercom, and then there's a horse in the hospital. Everything you thought you knew was wrong; Kool Keith is introducing you to his own reality.

I'd link to it on youtube, but the one there is missing that horse line, and what's the point if you can't hear the horse line.
