ODB: Renegade of his time and age
Radio play this all day everyday
Recognize I'm a fool
And you loooove me
--ODB

Slate shows some love for man who said there was "no father to my style", by giving a little respect for ODB's Definitive Ol' Dirty Bastard Story
Russell Jones released just two albums before drugs killed him last November, so this retrospective has more commemorative significance than service value. It does, however, highlight how different producers approached ODB's paranoid, bilious, bluesy, funky, scatological, and, yes, brilliant microphone antics

Yes. Brilliant.
