classic album- no question- RIP to ODB- one of the greatest ever

This album is the quintessential Hip-Hop album, an undeniable and completely unique classic in the annals of not only Hip-Hop but all music and art.
From the introduction, we are told by Mr. Russel Jones that, "you're about to see something that you've never seen before, something that nobody in the history of rap ever set theyself to do", and gottdamn, the man was right
So, when ODB is finally introduced, he goes into a tales of being shot at and being burnt with gonorrhea, again showin his life is an open book to the audience. Whatever is in his life and on his mind goes unfiltered through the mic. "Yeah, the bytch died...I killed the bytch. But the p*ssy was gooooood, the p*ssy was goooooood."
What that just say? They created a new chamber? Yes, this is something new, something never concieved before, a brillant opus to pure performace, the skills of a showman.
"you can't even sing"/"I like the way you talk"...demented pianos and Dirt's incredible raw spit: "my producer slam, my flow is like, BAM, jump on stage, A-DA-DUN-DUN-DAAAAAA" then the verse is flipped BACKWARDS and run again...second takes on an album? yes, you need to be reintroduced to Dirt comin on stage because you don't get it. This is your performer for the evening, this is what he does: hip-hop off the dome and into the mic, from him to you, no composition, no overtly witty triple metaphors and imagery...this is straight hip-hop with it's jazz influence (Dirt scats and often plays his voice off as a horn), soul influence (Dirt croons), blues and rock (hear the guitars throughout) and more..."Shimmy Shimmy Ya, Shimmy Yam, Shimmy Yeah, gimme the mic so I can take ya away"
"Baby C'mon"...just quoting Dirt on anything won't have any true bearing on what he actually says as so much is in the inflection and the beat is incredible with the main loop which plays off the switch to the bass guitar and single scratch, broken glass thrown in, all played with and interwined with more shyt in the mix: one of RZA's best always overlooked
Brooklyn Zoo is well known & classic
a constant bassline and a mix of elements all used in what ccan be best described as insanely...the guitar comes in sparse twangs, piano loop is also used sparingly with a single high note bizzarely out of place in the loop, and much more mixed, and Dirty again providing another incredible performance: "I come old like toe fungus mold, then I ask my grandpop, pop duke gimme soul,then I came with that old Al Green shyt, SAAAADIE taught me the bullistic, I get your eye blurry with the high note now"
then Rawhide is a fukkin gutter ass Wu beast....
"I wanna see blood, whether it's period blood
or bustin your fukkin face, some blood!!
I'm goin out my fukkIN mind! Everytime I get around devils...
lemme calm down, you nikkaz better start runnin
cuz I'm comin, I'm dope like fukkin heroin
Wu-Tang blood kin, a goblin, who come tough like lambskin
imagine, gettin shot up with Ol Dirty insulin
you bound to catch AIDS or somethin
not sayin I got it, but nikka if I got it, you got it!!
WHAT!!!"
Damage- "Suntanama!!" and the beat on this just sounds...wrong...it sounds like 4th took some vintage Bomb Squad master reels, chopped em in a pile and then taped em back together at random
everyone knows Don't U Know is classick
Stomp is prolly the weakest on the album, but still a good cut, and then Goin' Down has one of the funniest moments on the album when ODB's girl gets into him when he talkin about pullin girls and duke belts out 'OVER THE RAINBOW'....CLASSIC
Sweet Suga Pie is a phenominal simultanious soul tribute and parody, and Snakes is just a raw ass posse cut with that crazy vocal sample
and then Dirt on Brooklyn Zoo 2 spittin Damage again (because why not spit GZAs lines again?) w/ Ghost, and then having a muthafukkin ALBUM RETROSPECTIVE not only in the middle of his album, but IN THE MIDDLE OF THE fukkIN SONG....crazy ass shyt...and then the skit after "see, the mic is like my bytch..."
then the everyone and they auntie posse cut, followed by the raw simple Cuttin Headz, then the spaced out cut w/ Meth and the amazing, amazing Harlem World
this album encapsulates everything Hip-Hop was born from, gave birth to and fukked while living...beautiful ass album

Pretty much every time I come close to a booze induced blackout, I wake up disheveled s and the Dirty cd is in my player. Like 90% of the time this is the case.

And, in defense of 'the stomp', THAT'S MY THIRD FAVORITE CUT!!!!!
My favorite track on the album
mbewane
Knicks: 93 til infinity
Just might be...
One of my all-time greats, sounds like RZA was really loose on this one and the Dirt Dog introduced us to his own chamber, stays in rotation
RIP ODB
Pretty much. I'm still blown away by how raw and straight up the whole album is.
And quite possibly one of the biggest IDGAF album covers as well.

oh yeahh
that whole gottdamn track
it starts w/ that, and then he does the Sugar Hilll routine, then addresses the live crowd that ain't there, addressing all boroughs & shouting out both coasts in 95, breaks into his verse, talks about making girls hype, then his girl starts bytching and he breaks into "Somewhere over the Rainbow" and then runs another verse.
