Harlem World By Ol’ Dirty Bastard

This song was a bonus cut of ODB’s debut album and has long been my favorite song from that album. It’s pretty bugged out. Between the RZA’s sloppy, plodding beat and ODB’s dropping the last word of every line in his first verse, it gives you a nice look into the weirdness that was this album.
As an added bonus, here’s an old radio show clip of ODB on NYU radio where he actually raps the missing parts to the verses on this song. He also screams like a banshee and put his lunacy on full display. RIP to ODB cause he was truly one of a kind.
