Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Little things like mental illness, drug addiction, or criminal behaviour are hardly deterrents if you wanna be a star. In fact, if utilized properly, such defects can become major career boosters. Take Ol' Dirty Bastard. No stranger to the halls of justice, ODB hasn't let minor scuffles with the boys in blue impede his crossover dreams. No, our man Bastard knows that everyone loves to watch a train wreck, and a train wreck is what he will give the fans. Luckily for all concerned, ODB's sophomore solo CD is more than just an exercise in poor mental health and bad chemical combos: it's funny as all get out and one of the most outrageous rap records... ever. Sure, ODB's drugged-out, insane-in-the-membrane rantings and delusional ravings can wear a bit thin, but not before tracks like the string laden "I Can't Wait"--in which Dirty offers shout outs to the Eskimos, the Marines, and himself--and a careening cover of Rick James's "Cold Blooded" have you holding your sides. Titles like "I Want P***y" and "You Don't Wanna F**k With Me" pretty much sum up the vibe. But if you check your PC concerns at the door (Dirty insults and offends everyone with equal precision) and allow the beats of such masters as the Neptunes (who also handled the boards for Kelis), Irv Gotti, and Wu-mate RZA waft over you, you will find yourself loving Nigga Please. In an age of cleaned-up thugs and radio-ready party anthems, ODB has made a record that should give parents nightmares and hip-hop fans sweet dreams. --Amy Linden

5.0 out of 5 stars
Wonderfully crazy and crazily wonderful,
By
This review is from: Nigga Please (Audio CD)
Russell Jones aka ODB has always been a loose cannon. But it was the period around this release where the ODB train totally derailed, with Jones ending up in prison (not before leading the FBI a merry dance around the entire United States). I guess we shouldn’t have been too surprised, while his peers in the Wu took on gangster or superhero personas, ODB declared in 1999 that he had renamed himself Big Baby Jesus. Somewhere between insanity and incarceration ODB released this, his second solo long player. The album opener, ‘Recognize’, features Chris Rock serving as a master of ceremonies by announcing that, “This ain’t the young DB / this the old DB / this ain’t the embryo DB.” This is followed by the first of many unintelligible verses from ODB himself. ‘I Can’t Wait’ continues this trend, ODB has never been exactly coherent, but here he is totally crazed, one can only imagine what the recording sessions must have been like. It initially appears that the track will succumb to hip hop cliché as ODB offers shout outs to Dr Dre and Snoop Dogg as well as other rappers, but the fantastic climax actually has ODB offering shout outs to the army, air force, submarines and Eskimos and thanks them for (and this is not a joke), “playing my music in the submarines and the boats.” Any doubts as to whether or not ODB has lost the plot are answered on this track. The album’s best known track is undoubtedly ‘Got Your Money’ this is the song that finally brought The Neptunes a mainstream hit. ODB offers a lovely sentiment at the beginning of the track, “This goes out to all the pretty girls in the world and all the ugly girls too / cos to me you’re pretty anyway.” Before going on to slur one of my favourite ever lines, “I don’t have no trouble with you f***ing me / but I’ve got a little problem with you not f***ing me.” It’s a great song, and the best hip hop top ten entry this country has ever had. Elsewhere, ‘You Don’t Want To F**k With Me’ is as uncompromising as the title suggests. One can’t help but think that if any other artist performed this song it would be utterly dire. Somehow, ODB makes this a really enjoyable track. The lyrics are disgusting, and at times, you get the impression that ODB is just making the stuff up as he goes along, but nevertheless, he is never anything else than entirely entertaining. The track ends, fittingly, with a belch and some screaming. Elsewhere, ODB offers a garbled cover of Rick James’ ‘Cold Blooded’ and he croaks and murmurs through the Billie Holliday standard, ‘Good Morning Heartache’. ODB is a man wrought with conflicts, the chorus of ‘Rollin Wit You’; “Jesus, I’m rolling wit you” is sandwiched between more profanities than nearly any track I’ve ever heard. Meanwhile, on ‘I Want P***y’, ODB denounces prostitutes claiming somewhat unbelievably, “I want p***y for free / I don’t want none of y’all having my money.” Confusingly, on the finale ‘Cracker Jack’, ODB exclaims that, “Girls ain’t pretty to me anymore / cos you ain’t being a real wh**e.” The album closes with ODB offering some salient advise to the listener, “If you wanna die, you gotta drink my sperm / the other way to die, is eat a can of worms.” I guess the sensible thing to do is not to analyse what Jones is saying too closely. This is unlike any album I have ever heard. It seems increasingly likely that ODB won’t step back into the studio and record another proper long player (his recent release, ‘The Trials & Tribulations of Russell Jones’ was little more than a series of recycled verses and shoddy guest raps). If he doesn’t make another album it will be a real shame, because on ‘N***a Please’, ODB is never anything less than 100% entertaining. But if he doesn’t at least he has left us with one wonderfully crazy album.

Big up Bastard,
By A Customer
This review is from: Nigga Please (Audio CD)
This album amplifies the bizzare side of ODB. It has many humorous lyrics and in many parts is slightly racist, but what the hell we won't hold it against him after all it is the origin of hip hop. To sum up in 3 words this album is OFF IT'S FACE.
