Ol' Dirty Bastard: A Tale of Two Dirtys provides an intimate portrait of ODB and delves into the legacy of the Grammy-nominated, platinum recording artist who co-founded the Wu-Tang Clan, which first rose to mainstream prominence with their 1993 debut album, Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers), now considered one of the greatest hip-hop groups of all time. With a raw style, ODB's "outrageous talent" made him the Wu-Tang Clan's wildest icon and most inventive performer, quickly leading him to pursue a solo career just two years later--hitting the charts with such albums as 36 Chambers: The Dirty Version and N***a Please--and to work with such musicians such as Mariah Carey, Kelis, Pras, Mya and Wyclef Jean. Born Russell Jones in 1968 in the projects of Brooklyn, NY, ODB developed a unique persona and rhyme style that set him apart from his contemporaries at an early age. With a huge heart, ODB also led a self-sabotaging life lived dangerously. But in his short 35 years and long after his passing, ODB has had a momentous influence on an entire generation of performers and fans, leaving a lasting impact on music and culture.

Come for the expected stuff if you’re a fan of ODB the rapper, and you’ll leave having heard some incredible testimonials of his heroic and compassionate side, but you’ll be especially moved by the interview with his widow, Iceline Jones. I got chills. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
