LOS ANGELES, Nov 14 (AFP) - US rapper Ol' Dirty *******, an eccentric founding member of the Wu-Tang Clan rap group, has died in his New York recording studio of unknown reasons, his record company said Sunday. He was 35.
Paramedics found the inovative hip-hop artist, whose real name was Russell Jones, dead in his Manhattan studio on Saturday and doctors are conducting an autopsy to determine the cause of death.
Ol' Dirty *******, who also used the pseudonyms Dirt McGirt, Big Baby Jesus and Osiris, had a history of drug and alcohol abuse, and had problems with authorities which led to arrests.
ODB, as he was also known, left Wu-Tang Clan in the 1990's to pursue a solo career and released several rap hits known for their original lyrics, including "Got Your Money" and "Shimmy Shimmy Ya." He signed with the Roc-A-Fella label last year. ODB, who had fathered 13 children, was to turn 36 on Monday.

OK, so the guy's lyrics were sexually explicit, chauvanist and he was a major druggie (gangs anyone?), and probably something young black Americans would look up to 
I'm not a prude before anyone says anything, but I am not going to feel sorry for him. I feel sorry for the women who've obviously got up the duff because he was famous and the children who will grow up to know that their father was a druggie and thought women were there for him to do anything he wanted to. I doubt violence is a stranger either to these rappers with all their talk of guns and gangs.
I like a good tune, but some of the more extreme lyrics make me cringe!
Just thought I'd put my tuppeny's worth in.
