One of my favorite albums ever is Ol' Dirty Bastard's 1999 smash N***a Please. Something about this album is so classic. Though a lot of people slept on this album, it peaked at #2 and #10 on Billboard's Top R&B/Hip Hop Albums chart and the Billboard 200. But that's not what makes it classic. What makes N***Please so classic is at times it seems so unscripted that many have called it nontraditional hip hop. What i enjoy most about the album is that Dirty finds random moments to laugh and belch over his lines, leaving half-bars of empty space here and there, breaking out singing and screaming, smashing a 16-bar verse to launch into a hook whenever he's ready. While many only focused on the materialistic side of the album. I didn't, i appreciated his openness to be himself! It is a masterpiece, but not an album not for the kids. Honestly in many cases the album may leave you believing that ODB was mentally ill! LOL, but I still to this day play the album in heavy rotation! RIP ODB
