Ol’ Dirty Bastard Brooklyn Zoo

Long live Ol’ Dirty Bastard, one of the many legendary emcees to represent the Wu-Tang movement. And around this very day in 1995, ODB came through to deliver his debut solo single “Brooklyn Zoo,” a track that has been widely immortalized as a classic. Stemming from his acclaimed album Return To The 36 Chambers: The Dirty Version (the second solo album to emerge from the Wu-Tang camp after Method Man’s Tical), the grimy and gritty single featured Ol’ Dirty at his most unrestrained, highlighting his truly unique style as an emcee.

“I’m the one-man army, Ason, I never been tooken out, I keep MC’s looking out,” he raps, his feral energy exploding over the boom-bap production. “I drop science like Cosby dropping babies / Enough to make a ni*ga go crazy.” Structurally, ODB opts to simply let fly bar after bar, an approach that should please any longtime hip-hop-head. Especially those already familiar with Ol’ Dirty, those that still consider the New York rapper to stand among the most original lost ones the game has ever seen. Show some love to “Brooklyn Zoo,” released twenty-six years ago and still going strong.

Lyrics

[Produced by True Master & Ol’ Dirty Bastard]

[Intro]
Shit. Word. I bust that nigga ass right now
Ain’t no–none of them niggas can’t fuck with me
What? Nigga you could never fuck with me, my nigga
I’ll fuck you up right now! What?! What?! What?!
Bust your motherfucking ass boy!
I ain’t no motherfucking joke, you know who you talking to?
(Word up, bust that nigga ass, word up)
Ol’ Dirty Bastard, you know what I’m sayin’?
I fuck you up right now
Yeah! What?! What?! What?!

[Verse]
I’m the one-man army, Ason
I never been tooken out, I keep MC’s looking out
I drop science like Cosby dropping babies
Enough to make a nigga go crazy
In the G-Building, taking all types of medicines
Your ass thought you were better than
A-son, I keep planets in orbit
While I be coming with deeper and more shit
Enough to make you break and shake your ass
As I create rhymes good as a Tastykake makes
This style, I’m mastered in
Niggas catching headaches, what? What? You need Aspirin?
This type of pain, you couldn’t even kill with Midol
Fuck around, get sprayed with Lysol
In your face like a can of mace, baby
Is it burning? Well, fuck it, now you’re learning
How I don’t even like your motherfucking profile
Give me my fucking shit: CH-CH-BLAOW!
Last seen and heard, no-one knows
You forget: niggas be quiet as kept
Now you know nothing
Before you knew a whole fucking lot
Your ass don’t wanna get shot
A lot of MC’s came to my showdown
And watched me put your fucking ass low down
As you can go, below zero
Without a doubt I never been tooken out
By a nigga, who couldn’t figure
Yo by a nigga, who couldn’t figure
Yo by a nigga, who couldn’t figure (Brooklyn Zoo)
How to pull a fucking gun trigger
I said “Get the fuck outta here!”
Nigga wanna get too close, to the utmost
But I got stacks that’ll attack any wack host
Introducing – yo fuck that nigga’s name
My Hip Hop drops on your head like rain
And when it rains it pours, cause my rhymes hardcore
That’s why I give you more of the raw
Talent that I got will r-iz-ock the spot
MCs I’ll be burning, burning hot
Whoa-hoa-hoa! Let me like slow up with the flow
If I move too quick, oh, you just won’t know
I’m homicidal when you enter the target
Nigga get up, act like a pig trying to hog shit
So I take yo ass out quick
The mics, I’ve had it my nigga, you can suck my dick
If you wanna step to my motherfucking rep
CH-CH-BLOAW! BLOAW! BLOAW! Blown to death
You got shot ’cause you knock knock knock
“Who’s there?” Another motherfucking hardrock
Slacking on your macking ’cause raw’s what you lack
You wanna react? Bring it on back

[Hook]
