"I am going to do it my old way where I will do it song by song but with a little Twist. I will have the Lyrics-Production and X Factor for each song on this album. Rest in Peace O.D.B.

1.Pop Shots L-9 P-9 X-10 Replay-10 Flow-10 Total=96

2.Dirty Dirty 10/9.5/10/9/10=97 This one is a little Grimey.

3.Go Go Go 8/8/8/8/7=79 This one is a experimental club song with the members of Blazah Blazah and it is not really bad.

4.Who can make it high like Dirty-9/8/9/9/10=91 Dope one folks

5.High in the clouds-10/9/10/10/10=99 this one features Black Rob and of course O.D.B. makes it nice and weird.

7.Dirty Run-9/8/10/9/10=96 yes this is yet another sick one

8.Stand up-8/6/7/5/7=67 This one features Cappadona but is a little to wild for my taste and probally most people

9.Don't stop Ma-8/8/9/8/6=79 I think it features 8Ball are at least it sounds like them at least Dirty South feel to it.

10.If yall want war-9/9/8/8/10=88 well this one has Royal Flush on it. The Beat was almost a 10 on it thought very close.

11.P**** Keep Calling-7/7/7/7/9=75 well it is strange

12.Down South-8/6/6/6/9=70 Well this one feels like Down South

14.Caked up-7/9/8/6/8=78 This one is a little street style.

15.F*** Yall-10/9/10/10/10=99 Well not the best beat but ODB does some freestyling on this track and that makes it worthwhile

16.Move Back-8/9/8/7/8=80 This one is street style to.

17.Fire-10/9/10/10/10=98 This one is crazy and he yells out Fire a bunch of times ODB also does good lyrically on this one.



Total Lyrics-132 out of 150 or a 8.8 on the lyrics

Total Beats- 115 out of 150 or a 7.7 on the Production side

Total XFactor137 out of 150 or a 9.1 on what you cant see

Total Replay-124 out of 150 or a 8.3 on the Total replay value

Total Flow -136 out of 150 or a 9.1 on the Rappers Flows

Total -644 out of 750 or a 8.5866



Strenghts-well every thing by O.D.B is right on point it also has a great feel to the entire album which makes it good



Weeknesses-The Beats are a little generic at times and plus there is some lost replay value and the guest hurt.



What it should score-3.5 to 4.5 Mics it is in the middle there"

"this is by far the best ODB cd of all time in my opinion. from the first to the last of it he rips it lyrically. you can really see how he evolved by leaps and bounds. his mature and deep lyrics are accompanied by a flow that i certainly wasn't to expect. i was expecting more of the "warriorrrrrr come out and playayayayay" type flow but to my own pleasent surprise he rips every song from pop shots to the sparks remix as a mature and more evolved emcee. something that upset me at first but then grew on me was the production of this album. im more into the underground scheme of production (rza, nu mark, etc). a majority of the beats on this cd are more along the lines of "crunk" and mainstream. i didnt really appreciate that at first cause i feel like it faded the originality of odb's skill. but i grew to really enjoy how the beats perfectly incorporated dirty's more gangsta approach towards the album. even the skits are ill, since when have skits been worth listening to? even tho i would have wanted more collaborations with wu members on the album, his work with cappadonna, rhymefest, jae millz, and blayzay blayzay were definitely masterpieces. which is where im going to end it. this album is a MASTERPIECE in every sense of the word. when it comes to the credibility of dirty as an emcee, nothing changed. this albums amazing. R.I.P. Russel Jones. the osirus will forever live in the hearts of those who felt wut he was about"

ODB Rises From the Dead to Hit Us Up Wit His Genius

"As if Return to the 36, N*gga Please, and Trials & Tribulations hadn't already solidified ODB as one of the GREATEST M.C's of ALL time...he hits us up with one of his most genius works yet...Osirus. This album brings so many elements of everything ancient and modern in the rap game. You will hear everything from kung fu clips, reminiscent of the Wu-Tang's classic albums, to Mozart's Requiem bein' mixed with a crazy ass beat in "Fire." He vocalizes like a pro, like the one and only original President MC, his dirtiness..Ol' Dirty Bastard at the top of his game (sadly pulled from us too early). This album caps off an incredible career of brutally honest lyricist who kept it too real for most, but not too real for his true Wu Bangin' fans! After all, we are all truly "Buck naked in the Wu-Tang clothes"...OOooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. R.I.P. ODB..Keep it Real in Death."
