Did ODB ever have a mental condition? Something seemed off.

How the fuck did I miss this, incredible production from RZA, dope track.. R.I.P ODB.

Exactly! Even I did, was kicking myself when I found out it's quite old. RZA shared the links yesterday for ODB's birthday. Incredible track though, production & Justin was perfect.

Did ODB ever have a mental condition? Something seemed off.

Nah, he was just always popping pills and drinking a lot. It made him who he was, and ironically, people said he wasn't the same when he was sober. A legend forever, Wu-Tang Forever.

It's said that he could have had one. But idk, he was on the crack pipe a lot. So who knows.

IMO, the best Wu rappers are in this order: GZA, Ghostface, Method Man, Inspectah Deck, ODB, Raekwon (always hated his rapping style), RZA, Masta Killa, U-God

RZA is on another level when it comes to producing, though.

GZA hands down is the most taleneted Wu-Tang emcee. Ghostface is criminally underrated. ODB was slightly overrated and had a pretty weak solo career.

Even though U-God is the least talented Wu-Tang member, he has a pretty dope track on his first solo album. I like the beat.

Interesting choices there. Definitely RZA's production was the catalyst in the Wu-Tang success.

My favourite Wu-Tang rappers, in order: Ghostface, Raekwon, GZA, Meth, RZA, Deck, Killa, ODB & U-God.

The Brand of Wu-Tang I can't get over. A big supergroup signed to one deal, but separately signed to others. RZA was truly a genius of hip-hop.

Anyone get the feeling Odd Future are trying similar?

Inspectah Deck too underrated! Def. my fav behind GZA

How Kanye's been snubbed from 'Album of the Year' is beyond belief. I see the stupidity of the Grammy's continues

This will probably hurt Kanye too. After all he did once say..

“I pinpoint the Grammys and the VMAs because they have to take responsibility, because they mean something to us. Little kids, 6 years [old], that are singing in front of the mirror. They’re also thinking about their Grammy speech.”

[Thor 2,392]

Probably one of the most underrated rap duos in history in my opinion. CnN were amazing together.

It's unfair to categorize MBDTF as a 'rap album' anyway, it's a universal masterpiece.

The foo fighters album.. now that should be categorised as 'rock', why do they get away with it?

Anyone downloaded ASAP Rocky's 'Live.Love.ASAP' mixtape?

It's decent, to say the least.
