4.0 out of 5 stars Decent Greatest Hits, November 13, 2004
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

5.0 out of 5 stars I heart that which is dirty and stinkin, April 1, 2003
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Dont listen to most these reviews..., July 25, 2002
By A Customer
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.
