| Real Name: Russel Jones Others: Osirus, Dirty McGrit, Joe Bananas, Dirt Dog Record Label: Elektra Entertainment Offical Website: www.oldirtybastard.com At of all the trials & tribulations, and things the each members of the clan went though in their lives, Dirty has probably the weirdest life and stories to tell. With the troubles the Wu-Tang Clan had Growing up in Brooklyn and on welfare, he never had anything special happening in his life. ODB went to the same school as GZA and Masta Killah. All his actions in his early life finally caught up with him and made his life a difficult thing to go though. The way we see him-in and what we hear about, isn't even half as bad as it really is. Ol’ Dirty Bastard is one of the founding fathers of the Wu-Tang Clan (along with RZA and GZA. Many people don’t know that ODB is cousins with the RZA and The GZA. In 1995 after the releases Method Man, and most all the members having record deals it was Dirty's Time To Shine. His first album came to show the world who he was and this is him. The release of Return To The Thirty 36 Chambers: Dirty Version came in early ‘95, and was a surprise to most people, (1) cuz most people didn't know who he was, even though he had skills and (2) the people who did know him probably figured that they would never hear form him again after "Enter The Wu." The first single of the album, "Brooklyn Zoo" was like any other song of the album. He like the "old school style" and he tried to make his album sorta like an old school attitude, but not that much came out. Back by fellow Wu members on many of the tracks (Method Man, GZA, Masta Killah, RZA, Ghostface, Killah Priest, 12 O’Clock, and Br’klyn Zu), the album was co-produced by RZA and Ol' Dirty himself. He talks about the old influences that took place in his life, and talks about them whenever he can. He said, "I created all these worlds. I don't let anyone try to tell me to change it, either If they're talking about something that's in my world than maybe I'll listen. If you can't understand that then get the record." His record did do good selling, but was the worst selling Wu-record at around 700,000 copies. Apperace of ODB in public has never been his favorite thing. You could catch him wining a grammy, or just gladly excepting one once in a while, but he doesn't really like that kind of stuff. He's never done many appearances on other rappers albums's either, but was in fact on "Wu-Tang Forever" doing a few tracks. Then he released his second album in September of 1999, which came as another surprise to everyone, even to me. It's first single, "Got Your Money" (feat. Kelis), was taking over the Radio and T.V. It was a original video for Dirty with old 70's film clips in it to make it a humourous Dirty video. Even though many people had negative comments about the album, it is still a Classic. Now a-days you just hear about Ol' Dirty either getting arrested or in another drug Rehab program. People just think that is what he's about, and doesn't care anymore about Hip-Hop, or the Wu-Tang Clan. People also wonder if he is still down with the Wu or did he get dropped. Ol' Dirty will always be down with the Wu, no matter what happens. Everyone knows Wu-Tang never cared about that east & west coast s**t, and Dirty was always the one to give shout-outs to the west coast and everyone else. Though Dirty's short career he's been though a lot of ups and downs. But one thing is clear, this is one member were you don't even have to like the Wu in order to like him, or his music. |
