Return to the 36 Chambers: The Dirty Version
Elektra
First off, RIP to tha ODB. How much is this guy missed?
Return to the 36 Chambers: The Dirty Version may be the greatest rap album of all time. Like all Wu-Tang solo albums, the rest of the Clan shows up as guests so it’s basically just another Wu-Tang album. What makes this one special is the singular, collaborative vision of Ol Dirty Bastard (lyrics) and the RZA (music). These two, away from the full Wu-Tang effort, produced magnificent results. Return to the 36 Chambers: The Dirty Version is similar to Straight Outta Compton, in that both were written like rock album, with a heavy concentration on the musicianship, yet both are unmistakably hip-hop in aesthetics. I wish all hip-hop was like this.
You can’t have a discussion about rap’s all-time greats without mentioning Ol Dirty Bastard. Return to the 36 Chambers: The Dirty Version is up there with Ridin’ Dirty, Ready to Die and the other elite hip-hop albums. Highly recommended.
