iTunes Review
Beyond his outrageous antics, his erratic career decisions, and even his association with the mighty Wu-Tang Clan, the most crucial thing to remember about Ol’ Dirty Bastard is that he was a natural-born rapper. He didn’t need a concept; he didn’t even need a pad and paper. Rhymes flowed out of him like water from a spigot. As time goes on it becomes easier to recognize Return to the 36 Chambers for the masterpiece that it is. Simply put, there is no other album in hip-hop that sounds like this. It is full of hunchbacked rhythm and startling sonic turns. Equally important to ODB’s rhymes is his delivery — the grunts and groans and shrieks are what make his flow so singular, and so thrilling. Because ODB had the most extraordinary style of any Wu-Tang member, the RZA gave him beats that are equally extraordinary. Claustrophobic, disjointed, dizzy — nothing about “Shimmy Shimmy Ya,” or “Baby C’mon” or “Raw Hide” adheres to a normative POV. Force yourself to read between the lines of Return to the 36 Chambers, and you will be rewarded with one of rap’s most imaginative and deeply personal statements.

A Masterpiece.....
One of the best Wu Tang rappers. Only GZA's Liquid Swords rivals it in the competition of best rap album in 1990....R.I.P to ODB, one of tha best in tha game for all time
Amazing!!!
This is the amazing debut album by the late Ol' Dirty Bastard (R.I.P.). Ason Jones comes with such a unique and original lyrical style that will never be heard again in this lifetime. This insane lyrical genius or madman, paired with the well thought out production skills that are handled by the RZA & 4th Disciple makes this a true Hip Hop classic. The production is a masterpiece unto itself. Carefully crafted production with classic soulful samples by the likes of Joe Tex, Booker T & the MG'S, Richard Pryor, The Emotions, Sly and the Family Stone, and Jim Croce. Now pair this with the lyrical antics of Ol Dirty Bastard and just like that you get this amazing jewell that is looked over because of today's un-soulful, un-skillfull crap.
If you like Wu Tang and this is missing from your collection, obtain this album now and be ready for a unique experience. "Snakes" is my favorite track on the album and features Killah Priest, RZA, Masta Killa & Buddha Monk. The kung fu samples sprinkled throughout this track are not overdone and damn near perfect to my ears. Rest In Power Ason Jones! A toast to man who has no father to his style!!!
A Masterpiece
How this has so few ratings and reviews is beyond me. Behind "The Chronic" this is the second greatest rap album of the 90's IMO and that puts it in the top 10 for greatest of all time. The Itunes reviewer gets it right; the grunts, groans and odd other vocalizations combine with the other parts to simply make it work. There was never anyone like ODB and there will never be another like him. He was born to do what he did and he did it as well as anyone ever has. Brooklyn Zoo has some of the tightest verses ever put down. Do yourself a favor if you're a rap or hip/hop fan and download it, you won't be sorry.
