Our Take
Our Take
Ol' Dirty Bastard's return to the 36 Chambers is a wild and wonderful ride through the mind of one of hip hop's most eccentric and unpredictable characters. From the moment the album kicks off with the classic "Shimmy Shimmy Ya," it's clear that ODB is back with a vengeance.
His offbeat flow and larger-than-life personality are on full display throughout the album, as he spits rhymes that veer from hilarious to profound in the blink of an eye. Tracks like "Brooklyn Zoo" and "Raw Hide" showcase ODB's raw and unfiltered approach to hip hop, while more introspective songs like "Damage" and "Don't U Know" reveal a softer side to the enigmatic rapper.
The production on Return to the 36 Chambers is equally impressive, with gritty beats and funky samples that perfectly complement ODB's unique style. Tracks like "Snakes" and "Cuttin' Headz" are filled with abrasive loops and jarring percussion, creating a chaotic and exhilarating backdrop for ODB's unhinged vocals.
Overall, Ol' Dirty Bastard's Return to the 36 Chambers is a must-listen for any fan of old school hip hop. With its bold lyrics, infectious energy, and boundary-pushing production, this album is a testament to ODB's enduring legacy as one of the genre's most colourful and captivating characters. So throw on your best pair of Timberlands, crank up the volume, and let Ol' Dirty Bastard take you on a journey through the wildest corners of hip hop.

About the artist
Ol' Dirty Bastard
Ah, Ol' Dirty Bastard, the enigma wrapped in a puzzle wrapped in a tracksuit. The late rap legend, known for his wild antics and raw lyricism, burst onto the scene as a founding member of the iconic Wu-Tang Clan. With a voice as gravelly as a construction site and a flow as unpredictable as British weather, ODB's impact on the hip-hop world is undeniable. Born Russell Tyrone Jones in Brooklyn, New York, ODB quickly established himself as the resident wild child of the Wu-Tang Clan. From his iconic stage shows, where he would often show up in his pyjamas, to his off-the-cuff interviews that left even seasoned journalists scratching their heads, ODB was a force to be reckoned with both on and off the mic. His debut solo album, "Return to the 36 Chambers: The Dirty Version," is an unapologetically raw and raucous journey through the mind of a true eccentric. Tracks like "Shimmy Shimmy Ya" and "Brooklyn Zoo" showcase ODB's unfiltered approach to music-making, as he effortlessly blends street grit with a unique sense of humour. While ODB's tumultuous personal life often overshadowed his musical achievements, there's no denying the lasting impact he has had on the rap landscape. His untimely passing in 2004 was a tragic loss for the industry, but his legacy lives on in the countless artists he has inspired. So here's to you, Ol' Dirty Bastard - the one-of-a-kind rapper who never failed to keep us on our toes. Rest in peace, you beautiful, crazy diamond.
