But not as good as first album. If you want his best album, pick up Return to the 36 Chambers. Classic. His other album, Nigga Please, is also rock solid. So if you have both of them, there is no need to get this cd, because its pretty much just a mix of the two. Nevertheless, his greatest hits is very good, but some of the songs shouldnt be on here. My favorite songs here are the classics Shimmy Shimmy Ya and Got Your Money, Brooklyn Zoo, and Cold Blooded. If you want ODB at his best, pick up Return of the 36 Chambers. If you want more ODB after listening to that, pick up Nigga Please. This should be the last ODB cd you pick up.

R.I.P. ODB --- 1969 - 11/13/2004

We gotta clear up some of the other reviews. EVERY track on this CD is more than worth listening to. "Cold Blooded" and "I Can't Wait" are no doubt two culminating points in American music, and if aliens or, in the words of Russel Jones himself, "crazy *****s from parts of the world I ain't never been," were to discover our world in some post-apocalyptic scenario, or an ice age, or something like that, I'd really hope that this would be the first CD they picked up. Anyone with a full appreciation of ODB - mind you, it is aquired and must be developed and honed in the same way a sommelier learns his wine - will most certainly find this to be a centerpiece of any record collection.

they must not be fans of odb at all. the only real flaw is that sussudio and some other good songs werent put on, but overall it gives you a pretty good idea of ol dirty. if you just heard "baby i got your money" and liked it, maybe you should try listening to his more rza-ish tracks from the early days like brooklyn zoo and stuff, before you get this to see if your into his more common slurred funny yelling style.

Regardless of what these other people have said, this cd does not ... ODB is a great rapper and RZA is a tight producer. Not to mention the fact that ODB also produces a lot of his own tracks. This cd of his greatest hits has some of the best songs by tha great dirty one. Recaps Return to the 36 Chambers and Nigga Please.

ODB's unique style is highly underestimated. Sure, he's not a role model, but how fans appreciate him is indescribable. He is simply an addiction. Fans, this is a must have collection of the ODB's greatest, all hot joints. Expect something big for when he is out of jail.

2 albums wasnt enough to have a greatest hits out, buy return to the 36 chambers its much better ,this shouldve been put out after more albums which wont hapen now, rip ol dirty

The loss of yet another great rapper has come and gone but I would like to give my thanks for releasing a greatest hits, even though he only had 2 or 3 albums that came out. Though it's not enough to complete a greatest hits, at least it came out so fans and rap fans can remember just how great Ol Dirty [...] was. I was shocked to hear his death and very sad, seeing that he did not participate much with the Wu-Tang cds (though he was one of the best members of the 36 Disicples). I don't think that the Wu-Tang can ever be the Wu-Tang or even how they use to sound without ODB as he was the heart of the Wu-Tang Clan. Many say that the Genius or Method Man were the leaders of the Wu-Tang but to me, ODB will always be the leader and its sad to see that he's gone.

R.I.P. OL DIRTY [...] THE "ASON", YOUR PRESENCE IS AND ALWAYS WILL BE ONE OF A KIND

Finally, all of ODB's hits on one album. As opposed to two albums. Which is how many he'd released up till now.

We appreciate that the ODB has increasingly mounting legal costs to cover. We appreciate that he must pay more in annual child support than most of us make in a year. We appreciate that four of his teeth have yet to be capped with gold.

But we don't appreciate him trying to pawn off a greatest hits album on his devoted fans. At the very least, his cover of "Sussudio" -- otherwise only available on a ... German import -- could have been included.

I'm playing this as we speak, and I must say that it is nice to have all the hits on one cd. Of course, if you are a wutang fan, you have all them already, except for the new version of "Recognize", but there are spoken interludes between some tracks that are new. I do think that the new ODB song "Last Call" with Masta Fuol would have spiced this up a bit.
