Format:Audio CD
Ol' Dirty is not the best MC but one of the funniest. Most of the beats are by RZA and they doesn't disappoint here, some of his best basslines are scattered amongs this enjoyable CD which is enjoyable from start to finish.
Many core clan members show up to drop verses - GZA, Raekwon, RZA, Meth, Ghostface, Masta Killa. Killah Priest and more show up on the posse cut Proteck Ya Neck II The Zoo.
All of the above makes this one of the best Wu albums, Shimmy Shimmy Ya & Brooklyn Zoo are hip hop classics making this into a monumental hip hop album. If you haven't heard it give a try.

RZA went crazy here on the beats and loops. If it had have been a Ghostface joint it probably would have been one of the best albums ever made. As it is, with ODB, it's original and brilliant. Im a big fan of 95 hip-hop albums and this is no exception. I come back to this album from time to time and love it. This is certainly in the bunch of top five WU albums.

1995 in Hip-Hop was one of the hardest yearz for Gangsta Rap, with albums like Mobb Deep's The Infamous, Big L's Lifestylez ov da Poor & Dangerous and Raekwon's Only Built For Cuban Linx... ODB took rap to a strange place here. With the confidence from the Wu-Tang debut, and RZA using a similar production formula, the album was always gonna be a critical success
The best thing about ODB as a lyricist is not only the humour he brings to his tracks but also the flow he possesses, he can flow easily over any beat, and this is aspect is framed and hung up on the wall over the mantle on this album. It's not a naturally easy flow, but think of the way Enter the Wu-Tang was formatted, his flow is similar.
Ol' Dirty isn't the best rhymer to grab a mic, so if you're looking for deep lyricism and hardcore rhymes, don't try this album just yet. When you feel you've explored real lyrics thoroughly, r just want to hear some mentally damaged lyrics and some crazy RZA beatz, get this album into collection.
