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. 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 , 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. Album: Miscellaneous. Yo wassup this Slim, uh oh you don't know me now? So what, I, oh it's like that, oh okay, okay I see that I never thought that honey would be playin' I ain't wid it Forget it, it really don't mean much for me to hit it Check the resume, baby they don't call me slim for nothin' Somethin' in her nature had me thinkin' she be frontin' But last time I checked I had status But she thinks she's the baddest black And I ain't havin' that, dig it Baby what's ya function 'Cause I know you be watchin' me from a far When I was coolin' at the bar I am who I are but I ain't a superstar It's like I wasn't born yesterday, why you tryin' play Now maybe if I kicked the dummy roll then You won't be so cold on the shoulder But now you best move over 'Cause I'm older then you think, think about it But now you be the one that's lookin' dumb So Keith give 'em some Honey, tell me wassup, now girl why you frontin'?

Yo Keith, let me tell you I was cold swingin' it with baby girl in the club right, But don't you know here comes Charles Barkley Messin' my groove all up She runnin' over to Chuck because is Benz is silver And my Mazda's green But that's all cool though because I wasn't givin' a five cent For cheese on a Big Mack, it's all good, yo check this out here Man, I was pulled up man with my black rag-top In my orange Volkswagen Man, with my little mag rims Man, nobody looked at me.
