Sex Style
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sex Style is the second studio album by Kool Keith. Released in 1997, it is a dirty rap concept album utilizing a lyrical style Keith referred to as "pornocore". Although the album did not chart, it was reissued in 2006 with a bonus track.
[edit] Lyrics and music
Sex Style has been described as "polarizing"[1] due to its lyrical style, which Kool Keith described as "pornocore".[1] The music was primarily written by producer Kutmasta Kurt. The production is noted for its "deep, funky beats".[1] Sex Style is described as a loose concept album.[1]
The lyrics make frequent reference to sexual intercourse, with Kool Keith variously portraying himself as characters ranging from pimps to perverts.[1] Keith also uses sexual metaphors to diss other rappers, many of which involve urolagnia.[1]

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."[1]
