;)

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.

Crikey! :eek:

Heart attack allegedly
Gotta be something to do with his erm... substance habits :eek:

Shame really

13 children :eek:

Never heard of him. What song(s) is he famous for?

Most people would recognise "Money" for the "Nigga Please Album".

Dave

Anything by the wu tang clan

Mariah Carey/odb-Fantasy
ODB feat Kelis-Baby i got your money
Pras/mya/Odb- Ghetto superstar

They would be the three most known ones (in the mainstream anyway) over here....

Hip Hop legend.

Another sad early loss to the genre.

RIP.

:eek:
poor Ba$tard :(

Oh well.

fathering 13 kids and all that substance abuse can't have been good for the ticker.

RIP ODB :(

Didn't he do some of the soundtrack for Kill Bill?

:eek: such a young age too :eek:

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 :rolleyes:

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.

who?? never even heard of the guy

He always said he was the ol' dirty... as the Rza said.... the ol' dirty is just that - dirty.... so no surprise really.

Shimmy Shimmy ya !!!

Brooklyn Zoo !!!
