Sex Style is an album by the American rapper Kool Keith.[1] It was released in 1997 via Funky Ass Records and was produced by KutMasta Kurt and Keith's Ultramagnetic MCs' bandmate T.R. Love.

Although the album did not chart, it was reissued in 2006 with a bonus track "Get Off My Elevator", which was featured in 1999 film Office Space soundtrack.

Lyrics and music

[edit]

Sex Style has been described as polarizing[2] due to its lyrical style, which Kool Keith described as pornocore.[2] The music was primarily written by producer Kutmasta Kurt. The production is noted for its deep, funky beats.[2] Sex Style is described as a loose concept album.[2]

The lyrics make frequent reference to sexual intercourse, with Kool Keith variously portraying himself as characters ranging from pimps to perverts.[2] Keith also uses sexual metaphors to diss other rappers, many of which involve urolagnia.[3]

AllMusic reviewer Steve Huey wrote that Sex Style "is borderline necessary for Keith fans [...] it is a chance to hear one of the freakiest rappers of all time at his freakiest."[2]
