Ol Dirty Bastard – Nigga Please

Ol Dirty Bastard
Nigga Please
Elektra




When compared to Return to the 36 Chambers: The Dirty Version, Nigga Please is a decidedly more commercial affair. On this one, Ol Dirty Bastard took the modern hip-hop route, complete with “hot producers” and a keyboard-overdose. That said, only Ol Dirty Bastard could turn the major label process upside-down. Let me also say that this is the greatest album cover, ever. Ever.

The album’s most famous producers The Neptunes created Ol Dirty Bastard’s biggest commercial hit, “Got Yo’ Money.” By all rights, this guy should have had zero commercial hits. Yet, here we are. I don’t think Elektra quite knew what they were getting themselves into with the ODB. Ol Dirty Bastard is the black GG Allin (and vice-versa). If you get that, then you’ll get why this album rocks so much. You will never see an entertainer like this ever again.
