ODB on Da Mystery of Chessboxin'

[Nokturnal Mortum]

In the beginning when ODB raps, he mentions Jacques Clouseau. Is this the same Jacques Clouseau from the Pink Panther movies (old and new w/ Steve Martin)? Or is he referring to some other guy?

"Here I go, deep type flow
Jacques Clouseau could never get this low"

The only reason I mention this is because I love the old Pink Panther movies, and it really surprises me that ODB reference it in one of the songs. Does ODB watch the Pink Panther series?

Also, is it just me or did ODB peak in performance on 36 chambers? His flow, delivery, and lyrics are top-notch in Protect Ya Neck, Shame on a Nigga, 7th Chamber, and Da Mystery of Chessboxin. None of the songs on his solo Return... album can compare to his works here. Does anyone else agree?

[WeMadeIt]

He means the famous deep-sea diver who hosted a national television show in the '70s.

[Nokturnal Mortum]

Damn! I knew it couldn't be Clouseau. Anyways, now the lyrics make perfect sense.

^^ Yeah, never noticed that bit. He was great on 36, but I'd say equally as good on Return. That's one of my favourite albums, possibly the most unique hip-hop record I own.

I must co-sign this too....The Return is just...wow, something interly different and yet raw raw raw

[TSA]

return gives me a headache if i listen to it from beginning to end and that's why i love the shit out of it.

one of my favorite wu albums ever, Damage, Brooklyn Zoo, Shimmy Shimmy Ya, Snakes, Protect Ya Neck II Brookyln Zoo II(probably the most aggressive rapping ever done by wu) and the masterpiece of all master pieces Harlem World...once you GET that song, you respect and understand of ODB will quadruple.

Everybody.....

Here it is
Where's it at?
In the back
Got a stack
The Dirty Bastard
Yo you Bastard flip the phat track
Here I go, here I go, whether friend whether foe
Let them know that I flow over the rainbow
Hit the deck
Aw, yep, (ch-ch plow) from the Tek, takin heads, takin necks
What the fuck they expect?
I don't know
I don't care
I won't fall
I won't stare at a ho, less I know that I'm going to the mo-
T-t-tel, cause I'm lousy, technique is drowsy
Stop tryin to foul me
Sayin that we're lousy
But I'm a tyrant, defiant, walkin New York Giant
President of the Wu
But I'm also a client
It's the Wu, what, you knew what, you do what, what, who, what, what
I don't give a flying fuck
About a chump, cause this heart only pumps Kool-Aid
Snatch a kid by the braids, and cut his head off

Rhymes is rugged like burnt buildings in Harlem
The Ol Dirty Bastard from the Temple of Shaolin
Dirty to the brain like drops of acid rain
Clang, clang, clang, rhymes pluckin at your brain
So take a sip from the cup of death
And when you're shaking my right hand, I'll stab you with the left
(Whirr whirr whirrr!) Red alert! Red alert!
Ason comin straight from the dirt
Once I go berzerk, mad brothers got hurt
Nuthin new in ninety-two
It's time to do the work
Trails of vatos scream once I hop on the scene
And fear the return of the fatal flying guillotine
Mr. Milli, that means I'm also militant
Don't wear no suit and tie, I'm no gentleman
Gettin laid, takin heads, that's my hobby
Punch a brother in the face who call me Robbie
I be the RZA, call me that cuz-I
Never liked the name I recieved from my poppa
Dirty deluxe, yo, I'm huntin for ducks
Snatchin devils up by the hair, then cut his head off

I personally thought ODB's verse in this song was terrible. He had some good lines, but a lot of it was wack. It doesn't take much talent to make wierd noises. It just sounds so crackhead-ish.

[Mumm Ra]

best verse of the track
you're a wack ass oreo zebra for thinking otherwise
