    "comment": "Ol' Dirty Bastard was the second member of the Wu-Tang Clan to release a solo effort, behind Method Man. \"Brooklyn Zoo\" was the debut single from \"Return to the 36 Chambers.\" The name \"Brooklyn Zoo\" refers to the zoological park in Brooklyn's Prospect Park.\nThe name also refers to the group, Brooklyn Zu, who were closely affiliated with Ol' Dirty Bastard.  Brooklyn Zu member, Buddha Monk, explains that Russell Jones, aka Ol' Dirty Bastard, and the members of Brooklyn Zu were having an aggressive argument for unknown reasons. During the argument, Jones walked into the sound booth and started recording a track, using the energy and anger from the argument to inspire his lyrics. Buddha Monk also claims Jones used some words and sentences used in the argument to create the track.",
