My old friend dispatch reminded me just now that its been two years since ODB died. For those of you not in the know thats Ol' Dirty Bastard, my favorite rapper of all time. He died an early death, which tends to happen when you smoke crack and drink forties. You die. But, he lived how he wanted, and most people can't say that. His first album, "Return to the 36 Chambers" really blew up my idea of what rap was and could be. Too bad there isnt anyone around these days that can hold a candle to him. But then again, ODB himself never really regained the form he had on that first record. Best rap album ever.
