DEAD 'DIRTY BASTARD'
By PHILIP MESSING, MICHAEL POPE and ZACH HABERMAN
November 14, 2004 -- Revered, troubled and often outlandish rapper Ol' Dirty Bastard mysteriously collapsed and died yesterday at a Manhattan recording studio, police said.
The 35-year-old ODB, one of the founding members of the rap group Wu-Tang Clan, became ill and suffered breathing difficulties at about 4:40 p.m. inside 36 Records on West 34th Street.
One of his four friends in the studio called 911. Rescue workers arrived five minutes later, but were unable to revive the hip-hop star.
ODB, whose real name is Russell Jones, was declared dead a short time later.
Fellow Wu-Tang founder Ghostface Killah raced to the studio to grieve.
"I'm taking it hard," he said. "This ain't no joke, just like you lose your mother or your brother.
"That was my brother, my heart, my soul, my pride, my joy. I guess he's with the Father now. He's in good hands." ......
.......Jones has taken on several personas throughout his career, each with a different moniker — including Big Baby Jesus and Dirt McGirt. He was to turn 36 tomorrow. ......
.....He was arrested in 1997 for failing to pay child support for three of his 13 children. ......

Dude. Run that through the computer again. What makes you think it was one woman?
It is amazing he lasted this long. That guy was whacked out, to put it nicely.
And speaking of 29 times, can somebody tell me why I should care this dude checked out?
He's a guy, not a gal. Like a pro basketball player, a hip-hop "artist" could have impregnated a dozen or so "ho's" in one concaine fueled weekend.
I'll never forget when an MTV camera crew followed along with Dirty as he was chauffered to the welfare office in a limo to collect his check.
No chance.
This is at least the third variation of this story I have seen posted. Why is this of any interest on a website for the discussion of conservative politics? I am well past the age and IQ necessary to enjoy Rap music and do not understand the importance of this person in this best of all possible worlds.
This one doesn't count..LOL

John Flipping Kerry is the most ungracious bastard I have ever seen. I remember in his 1994 Massachusetts senate race victory speech over James Rappaport, he said his victory was like the old 60's song, "Money Can't Buy You Love." He said this to his followers as to mean money can't buy you a senate seat. Rappaport is the son of a wealthy developer. Fast forward 10 years after Kerry has won a trophy billionairess, actually a toad, and he is on the losing end of the presidential race by 3,000,000 popular votes, and he wants to play a new...
"If"
I read in another article about ODB's death that his 13 children came from "several" different women.
Cripes! I tried that site and turned out as, "My Cousin the Wife-Beatah." Fun group, I must say.
What a shame! Such intelligent face, and so young....
"A deep, sensitive person, onme who contributed so much to society is called to his eternal home....
in hell."
How much do you really know the guy? You know enough to condemn him to hell?
You MUST know that after witnessing a car accident from his studio window, him and some of his associates ran outside and actually lifted a Ford Mustang up just enough to be able to pull a 4 year old girl from underneath.
I guess it wasn't YOUR daughter, so off to hell he goes.
