Dr. Octagon Fanatik-J Washington Post Article Screenshot
"The concert was billed as an appearance of Dr. Octagon, one of Keith's many alter egos, but he didn't plug his new album, "The Return of Dr. Octagon," giving credence to Internet rumors that the 2006 OCD Records disc is not an "authorized" release but a knockoff of an upcoming project that teams Keith with producer Fanatik-J."

SERGIO TACCHINI NOTEBOOK - IN STUDIO!
I received a brilliant gift from a very rare individual at the studio today; a perfect condition, vintage 19-bloody-80's, Sergio Tacchini notebook. Welly, welly, welly, Hooli-fash history on the warehouse wall! Loving this bit of acceso-clobber.
And can somebody tell Nick Nevern to make another Hooligan Factory...NOW!
EASTBAY EXPRESS DR. OCTAGON FANATIK-J ARTICLE
"The day after OCD released its album, however, a parallel story emerged quietly on an Internet usergroup. A disgruntled small-time Los Angeles producer by the name of Fanatik J said he and Kool Keith had worked on a similar album four years before. He claimed the disc OCD released wasn't their creation, but an evil sibling. "I guess OCD is sowing lies everywhere, huh?" he wrote.
The true story serves as a cautionary tale. Fanatik J says he and Keith shopped around some Return of Doc Oc demos in 2002, and Keith subsequently signed a recording contract with country label CMH Records of Los Angeles without fully understanding what he was doing — its catalogue is full of hokey bluegrass and country covers of pop songs. Keith's contract, furthermore, gave CMH the right to remix his new album.
Fanatik wrote that he balked at the possibility of losing artistic control over remixes, and got into a two-year legal battle with the label to halt the record's release. Keith, meanwhile, gave them "some old vocal material" to fulfill his contract obligations, Fanatik wrote, whereupon CMH farmed out production to people who made "the fruity stuff they are using to run their scam."
