ODB / Method Man - Throwback Interview [1997]

Ol' Dirty Bastard was born Russell Tyrone Jones in Brooklyn in 1969, and grew up in the neighborhood of Fort Green as a welfare child. As he got older, he started hanging out more and more with his cousins Robert Diggs and Gary Grice; they all shared a taste for rap music and kung-fu movies. The trio parlayed their obsessions into founding the Wu-Tang Clan, renaming themselves Ol' Dirty Bastard (since there was no father to his style), the RZA, and the Genius, respectively.
Method Man was born Clifford Smith on April 1, 1971, in Hempsted, Long Island; he split his childhood between his father's Long Island residence and his mother's Staten Island home. It was the latter locale where he met his future Wu-Tang cohorts RZA, Genius/GZA, and Ol' Dirty Bastard. Method Man was one of the first to sign on. Meth was heavily featured on the group's classic late-1993 debut, Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers), even getting his own showcase track with "Method Man," which certainly put him out front in terms of name recognition.

ODB had more sense then you think. He was woke for real.

Have you ever seen the unedited version

[@esotericsunshine6602]

In the 90s, Yep

[@thijsmallekote1977]

Thats why I prefer to listen to older rappers instead of these newbies. Its hard to find real rap or as one might say "conscious" musical masterpieces. Tupac one day said that if people dont watch out some one like trump might end up president, jokes on him because all other options when trump was on were way worse than Trump itself. Jedi mind tricks, apathy demigodz, nas 4biddenknowledge and a lot of other artists embed knowledge into their art, this is what keeps it interesting to me , who considers itself as a open minded person being able to see what all the false prophecies and deliberate manipulation of mankind has lead up to since this interview was recorded.

[@curtiswhiteheadjr1322]

Check out 3/5 An MC: The Manufacturing of The Dumbed Down Rapper. 📚 Pac, Biggie, ODB and God only knows who else in Real Hip Hop was silenced, some permanently, because they definitely kept it 💯 Hell. Check out the U.N.I.T.Y between Meth and ODB in this video. Very dangerous to a controlling system.

"I'm not crazy at all. Everybody's always sayin' that Dirty is crazy, Dirty is not crazy at all. Dirty just foresees a lot that a lot of people don't foresee."

[@bekoberk3539]

Method Man: I love the government man CIA,FBI I love y'all niggas,don't come knocking on my door. ODB: I love them too,they all my children. 😂😂

[@mrknowledge_]

That’s a man who isn’t selling out

[@et-qt2ww]

ODB saved the life of a 4 year old child when him and his friends ran to lift the car off of her after it hit her. They actually LIFTED the car off her and moved it. She would have surely died if they didn't remove that car fast enough because she was stuck under the car's engine and it was burning her. She had 2nd degree burns. Look it up. He was a great human being.
