Ol Dirty
Basterd MESSAGE TO THE OTHER SIDE (OSIRUS
PART 1) w/Bonus DVD Russell Tyrone Jones AKA Ol' Dirty Bastard simultaneously brought a measure of humor and a touch of the absurd to the Wu-Tang Clan. Often noted for his unusual microphone technique, Jones' stage name came from a 1980 kung fu film entitled Ol' Dirty & The Bastard, the relevance of which was articulated by Method Man's assertion that there was "no father" to Jones' style. After establishing the Wu-Tang Clan, Ol' Dirty Bastard went on to a successful solo career. However, his professional success was hampered by his erratic personal behavior and frequent legal troubles, including incarceration He died in late 2004 of an accidental drug overdose only two days before his 36th birthday. ODB's solo career began in
1995, making him the third member of the Wu-Tang Clan to release a solo
album, following GZA’s 1991 debut, Words from the Genius, and Method
Man's 1994 effort, Tical Released on March 28, 1995, Return
to Chambers: The Dirty Version spawned the hit singles "Brooklyn
Zoo" and "Shimmy Shimmy Ya", which helped propel the
album to gold status. The album's sound was as raw and gritty as
36 Chambers, producer RZA creating beats even more minimalist and
stripped-down than on the group's debut. About the album: When ODB died in 2004 he left
behind a growing fan base and a legacy as the most talented and unique
of the entire Wu-Tang Clan. This record recently uncovered deep in the
vaults of the wu-tang chambers is a record that will satisfy his fans
and is an official ODB album and not a tribute album. This is
ODB's music raw and to the point. “Message to the other side
Osiris” part 1 has twenty one-tracks. Executive-produced by Allah
and featuring Wu Tang Clan's ODB, The RZA, and affiliates, 4th Disciple,
Brooklyn Zu, Allah, Masta Killah, Free Murder and others. This record
