Today on March 28th marks the 23rd anniversary of Ol’ Dirty Bastard‘s seminal debut album “Return to the 36 Chambers“. This was the rapper’s first solo album since his rise to fame as apart of the Wu-Tang Clan. This album hit the Top 10 Billboard’s album’s chart and featured songs “Shimmy Shimmy Ya” and “Brooklyn Zoo“. Anyone who knows real Rap knows that ODB’s rhymes were original and outlandish, yet HARD. A lot of you may know him for his remix of MariahCarey’s 1995 hit “Fantasy” and his collaboration on Ghetto Superstar” with Pras and Mya. It wasn’t until after, that ODB’s life took an unfortunate turn with his addiction to drugs and numerous arrests. After being placed into rehab and then prison, he passed on November 13, 2004 from an overdose. R.I.P. Brooklyn’s very own ODB Aka one of my favorite rappers. Check out some of my favorite records from him. If you’re an old soul like me, maybe you’ll like them too.
