The Trials and Tribulations of Russell Jones


The Trials and Tribulations of Russell Jones is a compilation album by Ol' Dirty Bastard, released in 2002. It was called "a haphazard, slapdash affair that seems cobbled together mainly to exploit ODB’s notoriety for a fast buck. The mush-mouthed Jones barely appears on some tracks, and when he does, his crude, unfunny rhymes are even more incomprehensible than usual. To compensate, the producers drafted a legion of guest stars including Mack 10, Too Short and Insane Clown Posse, and padded the CD out with tapes of ODB’s pointless ramblings."
