It was a pretty weird decision at the time of the release, to give the 2nd solo album to the man himself, Ol' Dirty Bastard. !!!! DON'T FEEL BAD ABOUT BEING LATE !!!! Discussion throughout the week is encouraged. How has this album affected hip-hop? WHY do you like this tape? What are the best tracks? Do you think it deserves the praise it gets? Is it the first time you've listened to it? What's your first impression? Have you listened to the artist before? Explain why you like it or why you don't. It's fine for you to drop by just to say you love the album, but let's try and step it up a bit!!! This is your chance to practice being a critic. Avoid vague statements of praise or criticism.


This is an open thread for you to share your thoughts on the album. On November 13, 2004, two days before his 36th birthday, Ol' Dirty Bastard died of a drug overdose while at RZA's recording studio in New York City. One of hip-hop's most eccentric personalities, Return to the 36 Chambers is filled with his half-rapping, half-singing style and takes you into the bizarre world of ODB. The second solo album from the Wu, it was mostly produced by RZA and features his eerie beats like previous Wu albums.
