Entertainment Weekly - 9/17/99, pp.77-8
"...agreeably funky in a Stax/Volt kind of way....it sounds as if [O.D.B.] stumbled in off the street and began ranting about whatever popped into his mind....[NIGGA PLEASE] is a fascinating snapshot of a deeply conflicted man..." - Rating: C+

Alternative Press - 1/00, p.96
3 out of 5 - "...the individual tracks are greater than the sum of it's parts. Ol' Dirty is a twisted seer who speaks in metaphors and isn't afraid to let his mind state hang out in the air."

Included in CMJ's "Beat Box '99 Top 5" - "...ODB howls like the ghetto Captain Beefheart with a serious God complex. Possibly the strangest rap album ever made..."

Vibe - 11/99, pp.185-6
"...NIGGA PLEASE, is the biggest, baddest, best record of the year, maybe of the past few years - a biblical storm set to funk beats....Not since Ozzy Osbourne's heyday has a musical artist done evil so well....as touching at times as it is offensive at others..."

The Source - 11/99, pp.213-4
4 mics out of 5 - "...a solid, non-formulaic, hip-hop album with major label push....Like his quasi-namesake [Jesus] from a couple of thousand years back, he's willing to sacrifice his life for this...Either that or the nigga 'is' crazy."
