RZA of the Wu-Tang Clan at ODB's Funeral

[@russskates26]

ODB is a legend. I heard this story where he rescued a 4 year old girl from a car crash and took her to the Hospital. He visited here at the hospital until the media found out who he was. The man is a legend truly one of the greatest rappers of all time. Return to the 36 is a classic.

[@ladygeena81]

He was pure genius and I agree, probably a very nice person though deeply troubled.

[@lakeisharobinson2132]

Respect ✌

[@felipegodoy9151]

when a man dies he is welcome to the other side by god, but when a man lives he is welcome to follow god. RIP from a latino that was help by your music, thank you odb and wu

[@jayco2309]

The only way a man will ever see God and be welcomed into HIS kingdom is if that man knew HIS SON and had a personal relationship with his SON , you're right about one thing everybody will stand in front of God one day best believe that.

[@SleepFan771]

R.I.P. ODB RZA is truly brave here admitting his and those around ODB for being at fault as well as the man for his addiction. Speak up and take care of those you love. Peace to RZA and the Wu-Tang Clan.

exactly ! Friends my ASS ! I cant stand NONE of those fuckers since j know this ! ODB's mother have some daggers for them, wow, she hate them from her guts (watch that documentary) They didnt visit, call, or a letter or postcard with Christmass ! Insane ! At the HARDEST time of his life, 2,5 yr prison (not county) and NOTHING from them !

[@wesleyrice8358]

Maybe because they were busy with tours? Because I heard that RZA pretty much helped Dirty escape from rehab at one point and the Wu did everything they could to see him.

[@lifestraight]

Wesley Rice Busy with tours? Could they not have sent money? Answered his calls? Wrote him letters or sent him postcards? Told brothers back in the hood to go visit him?

[@zahirali7959]

Same I was shocked At least Method Man Called but still...

[@UrbanSkaternotreally]

The RZA is an intelligent person, a real example of how smart a rapper can be.I can't name a real rapper nowadays that can deliver a speech as great and true as RZAs.You can see in his lyrics that the thoughs are organised and you have to listen carefully to understand.O.D.B did what he knew best...RIP

[@Harborx]

I just think that Dirty just wanted to live his life, and to live it abundantly. I think that the lesson in ODB's life is just to live life freely and not let anyone stop you from being yourself, and from leading your own life.

[@vizzel1000]

I got what RZA was saying. Especially when he said ODB came to him & told him he was dying. & RZA was like whatever man & didn't take him serious. Then when RZA spoke about how we bury our true selves in life and that's how we kill ourselves. & that's how the soul has to leave the body. Very deep. Sounds like before he was ODB he was muslim by the name RZA said. & how he used to walk & talk & drop wisdom on them.

[@Moeskillzful]

He was a 5 percenter. All of the Wu are to this day. To my knowledge. Most rappers from NY, NJ that came up in the 80s. Either were 5 percenters or affiliated with them one way or another.

[@frenchicruz9257]

Facts 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@variousmentalproblems]

Some of the wisest and most touching words I've ever heard.

[@brownin329]

Wow, I know this is old, but in reading the comments, there are sure a lot of misinformed people. ODB may have stated that he was not visited in prison in some documentary, but he was visited by his mom, some family and friends while in prison. Meth stated he did call, but because OBD did not recognize Meth's given name, Clifford Smith, Jr., ODB did not accept the call. And unless you have the call log, no one knows how many people called him while he was locked up. ODB did not want his kids to come. As far as visits go, if you have a prison record, you are not allowed to visit someone in prison without permission from the warden and in most cases, not even that will get you in. Plus, if they were being investigated by the FBI, the last place anyone wanted to be was near or inside a prison. Raekwon said it best: sometimes you gotta let a man be a man. It was no one else's fault ODB went to jail and no one else's fault he died how he died. People need to stop being so damn judgmental.

[@dr.aisaitl7439]

The FBI literally listed the Wu Tang Clan in the same vein as the bloods or crips, they 100% weren't allowing any of them to visit dirty in prison. And almost all of them have criminal records anyway so there was nothing they could have done People need to think man

[@morbidchid]

Didn't visit him in prison. But he'll give a speech at the funeral.

[@azee1v1]

***** bs they were cousins

[@lasvegas2122]

OgGarcioVega I'm sorry, but this is what is wrong with our generation. Everyone has to be the toughest, the biggest the baddest. they have to do the most drugs, have the biggest rims, the fattest pockets, the most bi#$hes...What does that stuff even really mean? They are material possessions. They mean nothing. Do you ever stop to think why you think like you do? Act like you do? Honestly, do you ever sit down when your alone at night and wonder why you are the way you are? Why everyone else is the way they are? Hip Hop music is destroying our generation. It programs you to make the choices you make. This is what is wrong with this world. The hip hop music makes us act this way. They make you feel like if your not out there shooting up the streets and getting money, you ain s#!t. I can guarantee if our generation quit listening to hip hop, they would start to see the sun rising. Which brings me to my last thing I want to say. Satan is running this world...for a little while. This all has to do with a war that is going on with Satan and God. When we all die we have to answer to someone. Where will you go when you die? Do you ever wonder what the purpose of life is? Do you ever wonder why you are here? Do you even care? Would you care if you died today? Every single man sins and makes mistakes. We have laws we have to follow. Gods laws. Open your eyes brother.. Im not here to insult you or start any BS, I am here to open your eyes. Satan has our generation fooled. If you think im nuts, do the research...look into what I am saying. At the end of the day we dont have to prove nothing to no one, but God. This society makes us grow up thinking that if someone stares at you the wrong way you gotta shootem, and if you dont shoot them, you are a punk. When you think of it..does that really make any sense? We have to repent for our sins, otherwise we will spend an eternity in hell. So when you think about it, what is 60-70 years on this planet compared to an eternity. We must repent for our sins. Well im out for now. I pray you find Jesus in your life. God bless brother. Be safe.Please look in to what I said.

[@swampertkamm85]

Where are you getting that from? RZA was the ONLY ONE who visited him in jail.

[@morbidchid]

This is real shit. I can honestly say it's happening to me as I watch time pass slowly day by day. At 18, I was using ecstasy, getting caught up with my ego & at the same time, slowly moving away from self. I used to be an outgoing talkative kid that represented visions of real hip hop.. Then depression set in, along with social isolation which are consequences of drugs. Idk if it's neglect that I'm feeling but I'm 20 now. All I can say is don't lose yourself to drugs. Emotions are important

[@bekind2239]

This is so true. We need to use the power of our tongue, life and death is in the POWER of the tongue. When we refuse to SPEAK, we don't use our power. No matter how smart, intelligent or grown...somebody can ALWAYS tell us something. Just because it is not what we may want to hear, doesn't make it "hate." If you truly love someone, tell the TRUTH, true love tells the TRUTH. I understood everything RZA said though the sound is not the best.
