Ol' Dirty Bastard (WR Discussion Gang #16 ft. Buddha Monk, Skiz Fernando)

Author: Extraordinary Rap May 27, 2021 Duration: 2:30:51

The gang discusses Ol' Dirty Bastard's debut album, Return To The 36 Chambers, with...

Buddha Monk, ODB's childhood friend & closest comrade throughout his career, was in the studio behind the mixing board for almost the entirety of the album's creation, & certainly has the deepest insights into its production & ODB as both a person & artist. He co-authored the book On Stage, In The Studio, And In The Streets With Ol' Dirty Bastard, & as a recording artist & label owner, he continues the legacy of ODB's crew, Brooklyn Zu, to this day.

Skiz Fernando (AKA Spectre, CEO of Wordsound Recordings) has done dozens of interviews with all of the Wu-Tang since the 90s, for The Source, Vibe, Rolling Stone, etc. His definitive Wu biography, From the Streets of Shaolin, comes out July 6.

Tokyo Cigar produced the latest album by Wu-affiliate & Sunz Of Man member Hell Razah (Heaven Razah: Spiritual Kung-Fu).
