THE STORY OF A TORTURED ARTIST - OL' DIRTY BASTARD

Ason Unique, even known as Ol' Dirty Bastard, was one of the biggest rap stars during the mid 90s, being member of the Wu-Tang Clan as well as having a successful solo career, with his most famous album "Return To The 38 Chambers: The Drity Version". This video will take a deeper look into the life of Russel Jones and his many trials and tribulations. This is the ODB story.

Man i feel like ODB was a gentle soul that was mistreated and misunderstood continuously, rest in peace brother

"Aint no father to my style" -ODB

[@baulzzzzzzz2278]

ODB really was the kind of guy where he did everything with his own persona style. His rapping, style, and attitude was truly all him

[@teahgurl]

He was authentically him-

No Father to his Style

Dmx passing shows how we have not learned sh*t about caressing and valuating our emcees R.i.p Ol' dirty and dmx you will be regarded as legends

[@thehouseofculture3931]

You're speaking facts! It's truly tragic, and it seems like it has no end

[@Sunny-ld4ld]

[@MsNooneinparticular]

People tried repeatedly to help DMX & he simply didn't want it. Look how he treated Iyanla. I get that she's exploitative in her own way with the TV show, but he straight up refused to get sober to see his son. That has nothing to do with Iyanla... it's what his SON wanted. He smoked himself to death because of childhood trauma inflicted by his abusive mom and absent dad. Tragic but not our fault.

[@nikiedmonds6236]

Caressing and valuating?? 🤔

To claim you're the greatest and actually become the greatest artist of all time is no coincidence. ODB's accumulative work in audio, video, photos, and the influence in the production of it all was a master piece for all times. I think he represented the Wu-Tang on more of his verses than any of the other members did. I was lucky enough to buy his tape when it first came out and like everyone that loved music and art then knows you played your tape till that sh!t popped!

[@freespiritednook8195]

When he said he’s “for the children” they didn’t like that they quickly tried to silence him and take the mic as we all know the industry sacrifices children. He knew that’s why they didn’t when bc they were sending positive messages to the masses that was a subliminal message at the Grammys & if you know you know and they didn’t like that .
