Wu-Tang's Russell Tyrone Jones. ODB. Big Baby Jesus. Dirt McGirt. 'Return to the 36 Chambers: The Dirty Version' (1995) was a one-of-a-kind moment in 90s hip-hop — the most genuinely unhinged and unpredictable rapper-singer who ever made it to major-label distribution. 'Got Your Money,' 'Shimmy Shimmy Ya,' 'Brooklyn Zoo.' The 1998 Grammys speech ('Wu-Tang is for the children!'), the welfare-line interview, the storming of stages. Gone in 2004. Still incomparable.
