 You fooled us all

| I remember buying this C.D in in April 1995 and upon my initial listen, thinking to myself,"What the hell did I just waste my money on?" But flashforward 14 years and I still play it regularly, much more so than some recently purchased albums. There is something here that sticks with you. Seldom has an artist imprinted his whole personality on a record as O.D.B has here. This is an amazing record with some slammin' jams, but his whole f'd up personality takes center stage. Someone once described him as the Richard Pryor of rap. They might not have been too far off as he was definately, dare I say it, a troubled genius. For the sake of his 13 children, I wish he was still here. However, I recognize someone with demons when I see them and I believe this cat is better off at peace. Rest in peace and thanks for the 2 great solo albums and all the Wu Tang jams. You've earned your rest, Ol' Dirty Great One. |

 ODB Wu-Tang Psycho

| All I can say this album is creative freedom to it's fullest. There is nowhere I mean nowhere on this album that his raw talents was completely surpressed. He was all over the place, this one of the first artists I have listened to and you can actually tell that he was high as hell. My fav track is Brooklyn Zoo. Just gotta love ODB |

Ol Dirty Bastard may be the rawest, dirtiest member of Wu-Tang, but his self-titled album may be the most offbeat of all the albums.
There are plenty of dirty lyrics to spare, such as ODB's vivid description of oral sex in "Don't You Know" and a bloody rap in "Raw Hide" where he raps, "I wanna see blood! Whether its period blood/or bustin your ****in' face, I just wanna see blood!" But his rawness is so genuine, with anger at society and a need for dirty pleasure.
There are plenty of other crazy lines, where ODB raps about making a "young ***** wanna drop your drawers" and then sings "Somewhere over the rainbow." The RZA adds his off-kilter beats as well to make this one of the nastiest albums in rap history. Whether he's making weird orgy sounds in "Drunk Game (Sweet Sugar Pie)" or imitating Slick Rick, ODB really shines in the "Return to the 36 Chambers."
ODB may have died, but he sure went out with a bang. ODB really pushed the envelope with this album, making his own voice a unique social commentary on racial poverty. |

One of the greatest in the "Original Line" of Wu Tang albums.

This album, apart from its nostalgic value that it holds with many fans of the early 90's NYC-come-east-coast-hip-hop sound is a pure classic thrown on the scene from the wu dynasty.
lyrically, the playful, carefree and crude ODB slices it up on his first album, serving an array of harsh, honest lyrics with almost a battle theme to them, and yet at the same time maintaining the essential crude raw style that defined him. If he was to play a character in a old school kung fu movie, he would be the drunken, self indulgent and womanising master, seemingly harmless unless provoked.
production on this album was, naturally, done by the RZA. Providing the similar eery and melodic beats of previous solo wu work, with samples ranging from Kung Fu Movies to old jazz and blues records.
The guest appearences are of a stellar selection: Method Man, Raekwon, Killa Priest, Masta Killa, Zu Keeper, Buddha Monk and Prodigal Sunn, making this album an all star cast and representing brooklyn on the grandest of scales.
make no mistake, "Return of the 36 Chambers" is an all time wu tang classic, in the tradition of Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers),Liquid Swords,Only Built 4 Cuban Linx and Tical |

| Ol Dirty is my favorite rapper of time. His style is all his own and I love the way he raps. Im not ashamed to admit that I cried when ODB died. Even though I never met the guy, he really inspired me thru his songs. This album is a mix of great rap tracks like Cuttin Headz, Brooklyn Zoo, The Stomp, and Raw Hide. I love his take on Somewhere Over The Rainbow as well, cant explain just listen and you'll know. I'll just say that there is not a weak track on this whole cd. Anther thing I like is there isnt skits on this cd. ODB speaks on his first track but the rest of the cd, its mixed in with songs. Besides Enter the 36 Chambers by Wu Tang CLan, there isnt a finer rap cd out there. I really miss ODB but his music will live on forever. |
