Nigga Please is the second and final studio album by American rapper and Wu-Tang Clan member Ol' Dirty Bastard. Released on September 14, 1999, this was the last official solo album released during ODB's lifetime. The album debuted at #10 on the Billboard 200 with 93,000 copies sold in the first week.[6] Three months later the album was certified gold by the RIAA.[7]

Album name

Before its release Ol' Dirty Bastard announced multiple title possibilities for the album, including "God Made Dirt and Dirt Don't Hurt" and "The Black Man Is God, White Man Is the Devil." The latter was changed due to commercial concerns regarding its controversial nature.[8] In a 1997 interview with MTV which went unreleased until 2015, he said that the album might be called Dirty's World.[9]
