4.0 out of 5 stars Mr. Courageous is back Ya'll betta recognize
I must start by confessing that I am a true follower of this hip-hop cultural phenom known as the Wu-Tang...So bear with me, Old Dirty has proven with this project that he clearly and truly does not care what anybody thinks about him or his music--and yet he manages to shine on this work.

I truly can not capture with words the amount of energy that Ason has brought...

3.0 out of 5 stars Tough to Listen to
I like ODB a lot, but this CD is really hard to listen to. Basically, I think the guy might be loosing it. I'm embarrassed to admit it, but its sort of weirdly fascinating to listen to him scream like a loon on some of his tracks like 'Big Baby Jesus'. That being said, I can really only take about two or three songs in a row, before I have to switch to something...

I must start by confessing that I am a true follower of this hip-hop cultural phenom known as the Wu-Tang...So bear with me, Old Dirty has proven with this project that he clearly and truly does not care what anybody thinks about him or his music--and yet he manages to shine on this work.

I truly can not capture with words the amount of energy that Ason has brought to this album. With the track "You Don't Want a F#*k With Me" he sets the record straight about where his head is and where allegiances lie.

This is not an album for the kiddies to hear until they are grown--with very misogynistic themes, it will be a tough sell for the ladies, but the true Dirty fans will not be mad...

The remake of rick james "Cold Blooded" is inspiring--except for Dirty's singing--accompanying him on this track are the neptunes. The new sensation that has aided in boosting norega...(They contribute a lion's share of titles totaling 4 out of 13 tracks)

What else can I say? Big Baby Jesus has saved me from the hum drum and monotonous hard-core materialism that has been force fed by the industry over the past few months. Stayed tuned to your local hip-hop radio station to give "Got Your Money" airplay...

If humor is what you are looking for, then this is also your cup of tea, antics literally abound in this work.....Especially the ballad he has that is reminiscent of some billie holliday gib from years past(with horrible singing on Dirty's part)

Now you know as a critique I have to hit you with some rather disappointing news: No collaborative efforts from anyone else in the Wu-Tang except in the way of production credits by Rza(of course) and dat n^@@a reb(Rebel INS--stayed tuned for his release)

But in tru Wu form and fashion, track 6 on the cd introduces us to 12 O'clock and Shorty S*$t Stain Pa...with a cameo by La the Darkman Overall...Dirty came with what I expected: beat heavy, foolhardy antics with no father to the style....I can't even imagine to know what goes on in that drug-induced haze of his.....but i like it

word

(definitely aint one for the squeamish) but you ain't hear that from me gannsberg

I'm embarrassed to admit it, but its sort of weirdly fascinating to listen to him scream like a loon on some of his tracks like 'Big Baby Jesus'. That being said, I can really only take about two or three songs in a row, before I have to switch to something else.

Still, his sound is certainly unique, the 'Hey Dirt-ey, Baby I got your Money' song is worth the price of the album, and I do actually listen to little snips of this more about once a week or so.

If you don't like weird, sort of crazy, foul mouthed shrieking, you won't like this. If you find that sort of thing kind of funny, or interesting, or both, then, like me, you might enjoy this album.

5.0 out of 5 stars Masterpiece, December 11, 2005
By 
Locke the Thief "Locke" (Santa Cruz, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Nigga Please (Audio CD)
First off, I need to comment on that first line under Amazon's best of 1999 header, 'how did ODB start hanging out with the wutang anyway?' ODB is the cousin of both the RZA and GZA, furthermore, the three were involved in a battle based crew in NY called All in Together Now in like 84, so he never 'started' hanging out with wutang, he is wutang. Anyhow, on this album, Dirty reshapes what is traditionally acceptable as a hip hop verse, laughing and belching over his lines, leaving half-bars of empty space here and there, breaking out into singing and screaming, smashing a 16-bar verse convention, launching into a hook whenever he's ready. Dirty's willingness to follow his feeling over any pre-established conceptual foundation results in the introduction of a 'freejazz' type attitude in hiphop, stretching the possibilities of the genre. One of the most inventive albums recorded.

4.0 out of 5 stars Dirty, Dirty, Dirty, August 18, 2005
By 
This review is from: Nigga Please (Audio CD)
Ol' Dirty Bastard is insane.

Nigga Please is the most original, crazy, completely out there album in rap music.
ODB makes previous 'crazy-rap' artists sound tame in comparison.
ODB's 1st cousin The RZA, once said 'There's only one ODB, the world couldn't handle anymore'. No kidding! This album has great beats mixed with singing, rapping, and a variety of ridiculous sounds and sqeeks coming out of nowhere.
This album is almost too weird to be offensive.
Although sad, Ol' Dirty's death recently shouldnt've come as a big surprise to anyone. Givin his reckless, drug-addled lifestyle for many years it's a wonder he made as far as 2005!
Nigga Please is the blueprint album for everything ODB!
The fact that ANY song on this album got airplay, especially a theme song for Californian pimps (Got You Money), is a testament to what an obvious force and presence the artist was.
Nothing out there like it, never will be. Sure to become a classic in later years.

4.0 out of 5 stars Simply Hilarious, hahah...., October 26, 1999
This review is from: Nigga Please (Audio CD)
Yeah yeah, I know this isn't really an acceptable follow-up to ODB's debut. However, if you look at it as a comedy album, it is so unbelievably ridiculous and hilarious. The first time I listened to it I was laughing so intensley...both at the vocals, and the outright audacity of the lyrics. You guys have to understand that ODB is a crack head (for real). I am convinced he was smoking rocks all throughout the vocal sessions. Soooooooo hilarious. I mean, it IS a disappointment, but I still dig it, cuz it's something new, refreshing, and funnier than mortal words could ever decribe. Aside from the vocals/lyrics, I personally think the music is absolutely top quality. I'd say buy this for the hell of it...you'll never know if you'll think it's deranged enough to keep, or so horrible that you want to smash it with your boot heel. But hey, you can always return it ;) Bottom Line: THE most CRACK-OUT album (in the "TRUE" sense of the term) I have *ever* heard period. Don't expect another 36 Chambers, but you might as well give it a try.

5.0 out of 5 stars Big Baby Jesus...., April 3, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Nigga Please (Audio CD)
I love this album. While I listen mostly to indie rock, this album is just way too damn outrageous to ignore. The Neptunes gave ODB some nice beats to ply his trade on. And as far as his lyrics go.....well damn, how do you not listen to what this cat has to say next? "I stay away from ninjas; they should stay away from me" "If I got a problem, a problem's got a problem till it's gone" and these are only some of the tamer lyrics that separate ODB from your usual rank-and-file rappers. All I can say is, "Free Dirty."

ODB is the best, if you are a fan or you seen kung fu movies, you can match up the wu-tang members rap stlyes up with the kung fu fighting stlyes. ODB is the drunken fist of hip hop music and everything dirt dog say is real, but raw at the same time with an on point flow.If you are weak minded, this is not for you to listen to. stick with your nellys and missys

3.0 out of 5 stars aight, October 17, 2000
This review is from: Nigga Please (Audio CD)
odb mmakes a bizarre performance on this album. got yourmoney is the best track by far. this track got the cd 5out of 5 stars but some of odb's bizarre rhymes bring it down. odb was probably smokin while makin this album so it sounds good for how high he probly was. i think he should be allowed outta prison. he couldn't have commited all of those crimes. anyway the cd is funny but odb is not a lyrical genius. peace out
