Free Music Notes for Return to the 36 Chambers: The Dirty Version
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
Free Music Review: Awesome
Hit: 5 Stars
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.Free Music Review: Yeah baby he likes its raaaaawwww!
Hit: 5 Stars
ODB is one those people who is the life of the party, the only one with personality out of the group. Even though he is not the best MC out of the Wutang Clan he is not the worst(hello Ugod anybody). Standout Tracks: SHIMMY SHIMMY YA, BROOKLYN ZOO, HIPPA TO DA HOPPA, RAWHIDE, DAMAGE, THE STOMP, SNAKES, PROTECT YA NECKII THE ZOO, CUTTIN HEADZ and HARLEM WORLD. I'll admit that I still laugh my a** off when I hear Drunk Game(Sweet Sugar Pie). Filler: Brooklyn ZooII(Tiger Crane)(Ghostface verse was fire but the rest of the song is...... and Dirty Dancin(sounds like it was poorly mixed). Bottom Line: This Is ODB's best effort and unfortunately the best album he ever made(check every album after this one if you have doubt). Rza and company werent slacking on the production and Ol' Dirty and the guest appearances were exceptional on this album. REST IN PEACE RUSSELL JONES AKA ODB AKA DIRT MCGIRT AKA you know the rest!Free Music Review: I don't even like your profile!
Hit: 5 Stars
Like common perceptions of ODB, I thought he was a clown. After listening to this whole album, I think ODB is a modern day Screamin' Jay Hawkins. When ODB rhymes welfare with.....welfare, not only is it hilarious, but incredibly heady as well, considering the shame associated with that word and the powerful and ironic way he rhymes it twice in a couplet. Forget all the serious hip hop heads. What's genius about ODB is that he's oblivious to pretension. He's pure. Free Music Review: Solid Wu Tang Solo by a very dope yet very wierd mc...ODB
Hit: 4 Stars
I'm not a huge fan of ODB but I love Wu Tang So I eventually gave this album a try. First let me start off by saying there were only 2 or 3 tracks I was feeling, I donno it was pretty hard to get adjusted too for some reason. The sound was wierd especially just hearing O.D.B without any back most of the time. But Time went on and some day I just finally started getting into this album, so to make it sure unlike most wu albums it may take awhile for some maybe few to get into. I was many people who at once though the rzarecta wasted some very precious beats on O.D.B(Like I was saying b4 i really wasnt diggin most of the album but as time went by i really started to appreciate it and started getting adjusted more to O.D.B crazy yet very profound lyrics). Its not the best wu solo out there but it still deffenitley is a must have. O.D.B rips the mic in some pretty dope songs and RZA backs it up with his usual crazy style of Kun Fu crazy wu tang banger beats.
