​@@JK-gm6kkyou got a point there. People come to the funeral to pay their FINAL respect or acknowledgement of who that person was to them. Before they destroyed their life.

[@missshannon9790]

​@@justicejustice1800no.

I had a crippling tramadol dependency and been off them about 2 years. Started with an injury blah blah blah. And I got curious if anyone had ever died by it and that’s when I got into Dirty’s life. I think he had a very deep rooted pain, only wished to be love by everyone else but simply could not manage. RIP

[@SJ-ni6iy]

Never be another like him and he will always be missed 💔

[@ryanwills-37]

it's the truth that people are never around when your down and out!!! But when your flying everyone wants to be your friend and by your side

[@ChrisHughes-q1v]

You cannot make someone that doesn't want help, to get it. They gotta want it. Straight up.

His family was the rightful owners of Staten Island native indigenous owners.

Dont be mislead Bastard was highly intelligent and informed. He cared about the public and was exposing agendas. They wanted him gone.

[@ThaQueenIndigoFox]

"FBI dont you be watchin me"

[@Theonethatsthetruth]

He could have been just like Snoop Dogg to us all by now😔

[@reservoirquarantine]

RZA's eulogy was very touching. I think Bobby was the only one who really understoood him, knew why he was the way he was, accepted and loved him for all that.

[@Embassy97]

We all love Rusty that’s his child hood name

[@Void7.4.14]

I loved ODB. Man was a legend in the streets of Brooklyn when I was coming up. I even knew folks that was locked up with em in Rikers and Clinton and they said he was a solid cat that acted like a regular dude, but that he was clearly dealing with mental health issues and would bug out only to get touched up. Buddy was definitely dealing with a lot and it was only made worse by all the snakes in his life. Dude was brilliant with the rap and seemed like a genuinely solid individual but addiction and other mental health conditions combined with the manipulation of people around em, the way he was milked by the very people who were supposed to be helping him, and how he really did seem to love helping people around em was all a recipe for disaster. As a recovering addict I can relate to a lotta his struggle. RIP. World!

[@davidpicken8788]

Ol dirty was truly a legend rest in peace

[@Pet_lovers67]

ODB be talking about taking care of the kids when he didnt pay child support. Dude was confused as hell. I love you Dirty, rest in peace brother.

[@scottwolff6946]

Always nice to see videos on him. A genius that wasn't understood till it was too late.

[@guyinapandasuit2691]

awesome video. I love content like this. been going on a bit of a deep dive on pop culture history from my childhood and such. youre very well researched, your cadence is pleasing, and overall just a very interesting video. Thank you!

[@Jim_OHara]

RZA's speech at the end was wild, where exactly was he going with taking about looking at big booty & woman getting older, fatter and depressed.😂

[@uselessagent7342]

Nobody was like ODB "ya don't tug on Superman's Cape" I know its a Crochey lyric but ODB gave it a whole new life and Gravediggaz revolutionized the gore core style from Big Lurch and after. Baby I like it RAW! Meroceles like Ming

[@RockandrollNegro]

You're mixing up MCs. ODB freestyled the Jim Croce lyric in this video. Grym Reaper sang it on "Here Comes Tha Gravediggaz" and dropped the line "Can't win, or do a damn thing/huh, I'm merciless like Ming."

[@uselessagent7342]

Fuckin love that line verse. You Right.

[@user-rn8lw9pj7u]

Love the wu. Still got a messy wu tat on my arm that my freind did when i was 16 bled like crazy im 42

[@theunemployedtrucker]

ODB is a rap legend period, everyone struggles with life but that shouldnt define this legends life because that ain't fair.
