Why do we like this?

Big Baby Jesus was an experiential artist. You cannot grasp the weight of his influence or the gravity of his legacy through music only, though it is the primary conduit. Ol' Dirty Bastard had to be experienced.

Kanye is commodifying subversion in 2015, but nearly 20 years ago it was ODB who first brought righteous indignation to the ivory towers of the entertainment industry and forever emblazoned "Wu Tang is for the children" into our cultural memory. He took MTV along with him to get food stamps. He performed with the Wu Tang Clan while on the lam. 

LA's Alter pays tribute to the everlasting vibrancy of the Osiris with an updated take on his classic "Shimmy Shimmy Ya." Appropriate for trap parties and house jams, play this after getting iced all night with Buddha Monk.
