ODB is one of my favorite artists, that man was pure art. To me he embodies what a genuine honest artist is, just pure raw expression on what he feels like. No rules, no boxes to check, nothing to preceed, no structure to follow, just a flow of his gut instincts and feelings.
"Hey Anthony, what are you listening to?" "Oh, just this ODB record". Wow! I love the Wu-Tang Clan, and the ODB. What album are you listening to? "The second ODB record".
@@JakeAllen3 Shimmy shimmy ya is his most famous single, but Brooklyn Zoo, Nigga Please, Hippa To Da Hoppa, or anything off of his first album Return To The 36 Chambers, good luck bro hope you find ODB to be as great as I do.
I've been saying this for years. ODB easily had the most original sound and flow of any Wu-Tang member. I've been on the fence about subscribing to your channels, but this won me over. Well done sir.
Anthony, feeling the need to explain why he has a physical cd laying aroundMe- suddenly questioning whether or not i should feel ashamed of the giant stacks of cds in my room
CDs serve a great archival purpose, and if you get original pressings, then it kind of makes them collectible. But yeah. Nobody but my close friends and family know that I've got a CD collection. If I'm talking to somebody I'm just acquainted with, I'll only mention my record collection. CDs aren't "retro" enough to be considered cool, and they hold none of the convenience of modern portable tech, so they're just kind of caught in an awkward limbo.
Mostly I keep them around because if the digital rips of get corrupted, that's my backup. Stuff I've bought digital to begin with I can always redownload, but that old cd hardcopy of an obscure bluegrass or punk album probably isn't gonna be so easy to replace.
I agree it was ahead of it's time. It's my favorite record of his. It's also a slow descent into madness. He had Chris Rock open the record up before Talib had Chappelle. He was also the first to rush the stage after not winning an award and pulling what is now referred to as a "Kanye" "Y'all give me all this money of course I'm gonna smoke crack” -ODB
Yeah having music in physical is just so satisfying and relieving. It's like how people don't like reading from tablets, like you gotta run the record or play on a cd player or it isn't the same
Really sad he's gone, I've been listening to odb and thinking that a lot of artists today are just continuing what he started and never finished and what could have been
Im the O-D-B as you can see FBI don’t you watching me I don’t want to no problems cuz I’ll put u down In the ground where you cannot be found I’m just DIRT DOG trying to make some money So give me ma my streaks and give ma honeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaayyyyyyy Still remember it respect the OG ODB
ODB had many dope verses on Wu-Tang Clan's albums. His own Return to the 36 Chambers, Nigga Please, Osirus, & A Son Unique are all worth a listen, especially his debut for its gritty dark beats, erratic flows, and clever unpredictable rhymes.
Let's be honest: anyone who cares about music and considers themselves "collectors" should never have to apologize or explain owning CD's. Unless a person has the loot to buy an audiophile-grade record player & system (& put in the hours to fine-tune & maintain said set-up) let's admit the reality that compact discs sound good on even inexpensive players. I for one sometimes purposefully choose the CD format; especially for ambient / drone / modern classical albums. When I'm drifting off to sleep I really dislike having to get outta bed to flip an LP (Stars of the Lid are a perfect example.. hard to lose yourself in the ambient bliss if you gotta flip sides & even change platters mid-session). Just my two cents. And regarding ODB (or Dirt McGirt): "Cocaine is a hellava drug," indeed. What a character! The important take-a-way from ODB's death: Never take shitty tramadol to come down from a binge. Wu Tang Forever Edit: Quotation marks added
ODB's freakishness transcends into artful absurdism. None can match the level of character with technical ability. Raps on some of my favorite beats of all time as icing on the cake 🎂
I personally believe that ODB was "better" than Pac and Big. Guy was on another level and mentality. Psh, and being a Master of that raw Brooklyn Shaolin Style flow? Na, you can't fuck with him when it comes to freestyles or even written. "My Tiger style is better than your Kung Fu, admit it..Hahaha" - Pai Mei
I was just listening to this album a few days ago. It's easier to digest now because I've heard so much weird shit since I first heard the album years ago. Definitely ahead of it's time.
FINALLY A GOOD OPINION. I feel like ODB is MASSIVELY underrated. he was ahead of his time, if you think about his crazy style and flows, ad libs, and general antics, even his hairstyle seems reminiscent of modern "sound cloud" niggas and shit 🤔🤔he better than "sound cloud" niggas of course, but just think about what I'm saying
Return to 36 Chambers: The Dirty Version is one of my favorite Wu solo albums. Raw Hide, Dirty Dancin', Goin' Down, Shimmy Shimmy Ya, Brooklyn Zoo, all amazing songs. Gonna go listen to Nigga Please after watching this, thanks for the recommendation. Dude was so fucking undefined. A lot of rappers are trapped in a box, ODB smashed the box.
ODB was ahead of his time through his entire career. Way before dudes without talent tried to act like theyre all crazy and silly and shit ODB was doing it while bring genuine and actually spitting.
I feel like this album is a prime example of going all the way in. And also if your gonna sing and you aren’t really that good of a singer... make it entertaining, make it interesting. Shoutout to Wale.
Excellent album, I completely agree. The first time i listened to this album I thought it was one of the most experimental rap albums that I've ever heard, and that most conventional rap fans would hate it, but for me 10/10. YOUAINTIMMITATINMEONTHISFUCKINTAPE
I really loved this album and it surprised me to hear that many people thought this album was trash. Imo it's the best album from any Wu member, it's so weird and amazing
it seems like this album is significantly louder compared to other pop & rap records at the time. i wonder if thats entirely attributed to the Neptunes' production creds
Bro, you hit all the right points of this record to a T! The only other rapper who comes remotely close to the insane genius of this is Bizarre from D12. Just a little bit! But N Please will always be a one of one! And Baby I Got Your Money was the first of many songs with Neptunes on the track, Kelis on the hook! Like you said, well ahead of the curve, as that was a hot as hell combination throughout the early 2000s!
for some reason the playlist link in the dbox doesn't work, so try it here: ua-cam.com/video/AmSLen4xjhk/v-deo.html&ab_channel=JTizzle
Damn Anthony your opinions are just so good wow damn like whew... fr tho nice work
This doesn't work either,
Why you no link the explicit version, though?
fantano im very inspired by odb he’s a godfater
Talk about your glasses... melon eyes
this comment is so ahead of its time that I haven't even finished the video yet
A+++
Comment inspired by Big L?
osvaldo hernandez so far ahead of my time, my parents haven’t met yet-what!
Aggressive Banana I told your ass never to show up around these parts again
ODB was insane while trying to be sane, while the underground soundcloud game is sane rappers trying to be insane.
Brandon DiMichele very nicely put 👏
I wouldn't say that sound cloud rappers are sane but ill agree that they're try hards.
Very well put!
lotta these soundcloud guys are very mentally ill lol not that it’s a good thing tho
Same as Superman and Clark Kent Theory from Kill bill
ODB is one of my favorite artists, that man was pure art. To me he embodies what a genuine honest artist is, just pure raw expression on what he feels like. No rules, no boxes to check, nothing to preceed, no structure to follow, just a flow of his gut instincts and feelings.
he was special and very humble, i even used to run into him at the weed spots in bklyn...lol
"Hey Anthony, what are you listening to?"
"Oh, just this ODB record".
Wow! I love the Wu-Tang Clan, and the ODB. What album are you listening to?
"The second ODB record".
ODB is my all time favorite MC. He's so slurred and grungy it makes me wanna take a shower after listening to the album.
Hoober Mcgoober Sonic Grime.
Hoober Mcgoober Saaaaayme.
Hmu with best songs to start getting into his solo stuff 🙏🏻
@@JakeAllen3 Shimmy shimmy ya is his most famous single, but Brooklyn Zoo, Nigga Please, Hippa To Da Hoppa, or anything off of his first album Return To The 36 Chambers, good luck bro hope you find ODB to be as great as I do.
ODB was one of the most innovative rappers of all time he was singing before it was cool
Santi Barrios Mos Def been on it but yeah ODB was nice with it
Jason Harvey ODB goes back before Mos Def tho
Also he was purposely singing off tone and or beat before it was cool
Biz markie tho
AQGOAT24 good point. I never even put that influence together, and I feel ashamed.
I've been saying this for years. ODB easily had the most original sound and flow of any Wu-Tang member. I've been on the fence about subscribing to your channels, but this won me over. Well done sir.
P.S. His first album was just as bombastic and experimental.
His previous record “Return To The 36 Chambers” was another one that’s ahead of its time as well.
People talk so much ODB but don't give Busta Rhymes enough credit when it comes to crazy ass 90's MC's
When I read the title I thought he was gonna go with a busta project
Oscar Francis because ODB died we only respect people and give credit when they die get with the program
facts bro I feel like most people only know busta for his pop rap features in the 2000s but sonically and visually he was definitely ahead of the wave
MIKE MILLIONS Busta Rhymes first album is dope.
Extinction Level Event is fucking amazing.
Anthony, feeling the need to explain why he has a physical cd laying aroundMe- suddenly questioning whether or not i should feel ashamed of the giant stacks of cds in my room
CDs are great !
I still have a CD player in my car so I just use it. This car was made in 2012. 😐

BingeThinner I’m glad someone pointed out that grammatical error, it was killing me.
Thanks for staying hydrated fam. Keep it up.
What's the album title, Anthony? Why didn't you name the album?
LOL He just can't say the word. I was half expecting him to call it "Real ones" Please.
It’s against his religion
can you dont
I'm no surprised he doesn't say it.. can you imagine all the memes that would appear with just one clip of him saying it
Nigga please
"This aint something new thats just gonna come outta nowhere. No, this is something old.... And diirrttyyyy"
And dirrrttyyyyy.... yeahhh

I still collect CD'S, something about having the physical copy and booklets/collectibles man 😤
i prefer Vinyl
Yeah having music in physical is just so satisfying and relieving. It's like how people don't like reading from tablets, like you gotta run the record or play on a cd player or it isn't the same
I still buy cds too man.
It would be awesome if you did a segment where you reccomend some older albums like this
J. Hooton well
he has starter pack
Jesus, I'm rollin' wit you!

Mxm, right???
I’m so disappointed in you, melon.
@@nj8245 6 years and im yo only like get yo motion up
Really sad he's gone, I've been listening to odb and thinking that a lot of artists today are just continuing what he started and never finished and what could have been
And all this time we thought ODB was a brilliant rapper, when he was actually a really brilliant rapper.
Im the O-D-B as you can see
FBI don’t you watching me
I don’t want to no problems cuz I’ll put u down
In the ground where you cannot be found
I’m just DIRT DOG trying to make some money
So give me ma my streaks and give ma honeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaayyyyyyy
Still remember it respect the OG ODB
The funny thing is the FBI actually did have a file on him, which makes that bar even crazier.
BIG BABY JESUS I CANT WAIT!!!
BIG BABY JESUS I CAN'T WAIT
RIP to a real one, hip-hop owes a lot to ODB
Review crazy frog all of it
Gavin McWhirter LOL crazy frog review!!

Recently revisited this album and the entire time all I could think was "ahead of its time"
I love how melon felt like he had to explain to us why he still owns CDs
Let's be honest: anyone who cares about music and considers themselves "collectors" should never have to apologize or explain owning CD's.

1:52 i love how he is just saying some deep shit and then just suddenly cuts the sentence and starts drinking water
I personally believe that ODB was "better" than Pac and Big. Guy was on another level and mentality. Psh, and being a Master of that raw Brooklyn Shaolin Style flow? Na, you can't fuck with him when it comes to freestyles or even written.
"My Tiger style is better than your Kung Fu, admit it..Hahaha" - Pai Mei
Right on the money. I always felt this album was brilliant chaos that holds up to this day.
I loved that album used to play it all the time, miss his style for real!
ODB was always my fav Wu Tang member. Return to the 36 Chambers was always his most loved project, but this album was cool too.
BIG BABY JESUS

ODB is my dad
i miss him so much, i used to run into him everywhere, he was very humble, very special guy
idk how got your money became a hit because his verses and vocals all over that song was so insane lmaooo
6:30 I think the words you were looking for are "Danny" and "Brown".
tamalito I kept waiting for him to mention Danny, too. Surprised he didn't.

ODB's verse on Show n Prove from Big Daddy Kanes album is hilarious and dope
Good morning heartache is one of the best love songs ever

Excellent analysis, I wasn’t expecting this video.
His cover of good morning heartbreak where he's yelling in the background still makes me laugh

OBD was weird not because of the “clout” but actually insane.
*i was really waiting for Fantano to say the name of this ALBUM lmao*
I really loved this album and it surprised me to hear that many people thought this album was trash. Imo it's the best album from any Wu member, it's so weird and amazing
The video is so ahead of its time I couldn't finish it
Thank you, the bastard needs recognition
Dope that Peggy has people revisiting ODB. I was returning to return to the 36 chambers again and again the past couple weeks. cool vid!
Wish Fantano shouted out more underrated old albums like this
ODB’s second album, ‘Real One Please’
Seriously insightful review for an under-appreciated record... This is why you're the king of music nerds. Respect.
Fuck yes. ODB forever.
Great album but ODB was seriously on drugs during the recording of this
MrChrisStingray really i couldn't tell
Drugs AND mental illness AND stress from his mountain of legal troubles
even though he's beloved, he's kind of underrated. There's a good amount of unreleased and demo stuff that reveal his greatness
Got Your Money was a massive hit in the UK too, where I grew up.
This was an unintentional and super early in-the-year 'classics review'
Facts honestly. It would have been great to see what a 3rd album would have matured into had he been able to get himself together. RIP O.D.B
great to see some love for this album
100 percent 1 of a kind record. Nothing else like it. A definite work of raw art.
Good Morning Heartache was my Jam on this album. Dirt Dog forever!
1:50 melon drinking out of a jar what a hipster
it seems like this album is significantly louder compared to other pop & rap records at the time. i wonder if thats entirely attributed to the Neptunes' production creds
Mystic Styles comes across way ahead of its time too
An album so ahead of its time, it shouldn’t speak in the right tenses.
Hey isn't this guy howtobasic
I remeber how diferent this album was from the rest of the other wu projects, but is was enjoyable, great video
pls make the beatles: worst to best

This is top 10 albums of all time, no arguments
