Album Description Long hailed as the most unpredictable and eccentric member of the Wu Tang Clan ODB (Ol? Dirty Bastard) can also be called unstoppable. Incarcerated since July of this year, ODB has not ceased to continue his illustrious career. Shortly after his sentencing, he signed a record deal with the Los Angeles based independent label D3 Entertainment. The album THE TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS OF RUSSELL JONES will be released March 19th. While ODB?s antics offstage have, in recent times, drawn more publicity than his musical output, he has enjoyed astounding success with the Wu-Tang Clan as well as with his solo efforts. It was almost ten years ago that ODB, along with cousins RZA and the Genius, formed the Staten Island-based hip-hop supergroup Wu-Tang Clan. Along with several other core rappers, they hit the underground with their debut release, Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) to critical acclaim and worldwide success. ODB?s solo effort Return of the 36 Chambers: The Dirty Version was released in 1995, and showcased his unique, maniacal, left of center style. N**** Please, was released in 1999 and achieved him legendary status. Similar CDs

CD ReviewsReview of ODB's third solo effort Crazy Jim | Massachusetts | 07/22/2003 (1 out of 5 stars) "I have always been a fan of Ol' Dirty Bastard. His first two albums were both highly enjoyable. His vocal talent, which is so awful that it's brilliant (i.e. Biz Markie) and his drugged-out flow are truly one of a kind. That being said, D3 has done his fans wrong. Despite what any album summary might tell you, ODB did not record this album while on the run from the law. In fact, none of these songs were even recorded by him. Almost half of the tracks on the album are skits taken from MTV interviews. Of the remaining, more than half are old vocals over awful beats. They actually take a well-known track from his first solo album and put another beat behind it. Even the lead single featuring cult rap group, Insane Clown Posse has recycled ODB lyrics. There are only about three tracks that have unreleased vocals on them and none of them are worth it.This album contains no production or guest appearances from any member of the Wu-Tang Clan and in fact would be better served to call itself a "remix" album than try to pawn itself off as a brand new ODB album, which it is not." Poorly made remix album. 2 1/2 stars Mr. Valentine | Mass | 01/23/2005 (2 out of 5 stars) "I am a huge ODB fan that had to have all of his CDs, even this old thing. If you don't own this CD you're not missing much. For starters ODB and Wu-Tang had no input on this record. Dirty didn't even know it was being made. The whole album except for like three tracks are made from semi-rare B sides, MTV skits and awful unused studio cuts. Now, lets break the tracks down:
1. Intro -Funny as all hell 2. Caught Up -ODB only raps on this track for 20 seconds and it has one of the worse hooks in music history. **stars 3. Dirty & Stinkin' -Some O.K production, but what kills it is the guests Insane Clown Posse. Fourth remake of the song that I know of so far. **stars 4. Dogged Out -Sad remake of the song "Dog Shxt". The beat sounds Arabic and Too $hort sucks on his verse. **stars 5. Free With Money -Boring and thankfully short skit 6. Anybody -This is kinda good and C-Murder steals the show! *** stars 7. Waitress #13 - Skit, Dirty showing off his manners in a Diner. 8. Reunited -O.K remake of "Reunited" B side. *** stars 9. Here Comes the Judge -Wack as hell beat! Sounds like rejected carnival music! ODB goes crazy on this stinker. * 1/2 stars 10. Cute Devils -Skit, ODB showing love to some random fans. 11. I Wanna Fxck -Worse track yet! Who ever is singing that hook needs to stick to his day job. ODBs verse is recycled form "Don't You Know pt 2" and strange enough it seems censored. * star 12. Highjack -Sort of funny skit 13. Lintballs -Very good track even though Dirty has only one short verse. *** 1/2 stars 14. Zoo Two -Remake of "Brooklyn Zoo 2 (Tiger Crane)". Plain slow beats. ** 1/2 stars 15. Anybody (Remix) -Same lyrics crapier beat. ** 1/2 stars 16. Taking a Shxt -Very funny skit 17. C'mon -Remake of "Baby C'mon". Weak beats. ** stars 18. Dirty & Stinkin' (Remix) -Again, same lyrics crapier beat. Fifth remake of the song that I know of so far. * 1/2 stars " |
