Free Music Notes for Return to the 36 Chambers

Free Music Review: One of the greatest in the "Original Line" of Wu Tang albums.
Hit: 4 Stars

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

Return to the 36 Chambers Poster

Return's title and various lyrics acknowledge Wu-Tang's self-built mythology, but Ol' Dirty Bastard's solo debut, like the man himself, runs on its own idiosyncratic power. Rapping forcefully and on point--mumbling, singing, allowing weird wordless sounds to escape his throat in an assertion of his right to make random noise--ODB slips from mode to mode like Marvin Gaye juxtaposing the gruff and the smooth in the same song. The production, mostly by the RZA, sets the man down in the middle of funky, shape-shifting tracks to scream for blood, shout out to the Temptations and "you other grooops!" and threaten "any MC in any 52 states." "I love that guy," ODB secret identity Russell Jones declares of his alter ego at the outset; after a listen to this disc, it's likely at least part of you will, too. --Rickey Wright
