Ol' Dirty Bastard

The Dirty Story: The Best of ODB (Elektra) Some might quarrel with the logic of ODB releasing a best-of after only two proper albums, but don't forget who we're dealing with here. The only Wu-Tanger capable of verbally upstaging Method Man, Dirty's finer moments are indeed on display: the ruffneck "Brooklyn Zoo," dirty-sweet "Got Your Money," skanktified "Cold Blooded," even the hilariously profane between-song commentary. It doesn't get any better than "I Can't Wait," when he proclaims, "I'd like to give a shout-out to ... um ... myself!"
