Rae’s tribute to Ol Dirty Bastard goes through the visual treatment mill. Although essentially a compilation of ODB footage and images it’s still always welcome to remember a true legend of the hip-hop world and important that today’s generation of hip-hoppers never forget the pioneering work he achieved with the Wu. It’s ODB’s birthday today. #RIPODB
The Wu-Tang have released the third volume in their Swarm series: Pollen: The Swarm Part 3. As you would expect, it features all the regulars so be sure to pick that up if possible. Anyway, onto the track in question. With ODB you know what’s on offer; zany, abstract rhymes. His son also provides some vocals over this one. R.I.P. Ol’ Dirty Bastard
This number features an Ol’ Dirty Bastard verse I’ve never heard before (If you know where it’s from I would love to know) and an artist named Badluck who fits the Wu Tang ‘bill’ pretty nicely. Mathematics does a top job on the beat too. Dramatic horns and some nice soulful sampling combined with tasteful drum work. Good job.
Ever since joining the OTU team I’ve been looking forward to doing this review. Why? Not only is 8 Mile an awesome insight into the hip-hop world back in the mid nineties, but also because it showcases an array of hip-hop talent throughout the picture. You cannot get these on the OST released with the film, these are the tracks from the 90′s when the film was set. 7 years on from the film’s UK release date, I’ve got eleven absolute gems (the other two are essential to cover, but don’t achieve the minimum standard 4 BDK rating) to share with you over the next few minutes of your life and I guarantee they are going to make you feel more complete because of it… |
