Here are a few of my favorite moments of the late Wu Tang Clan member I would like to share to commemorate his life and career, fortunately I have some good material going back to his early days in the industry. Ol' Dirty was an unforgettable performer, comedic talent and personality in hip hop, his contribution is more than appreciated by me. RIP.
1995 TV Interview, Phone Calls & Freestyle. This was just before the release of his first album, he gets up and starts rhyming in the middle of the interview.
O.D.B. Breaks: a mix of funk and soul records sampled and used throughout his catalogue, some nice stuff to relax and listen to on a weekend. You'll gain a new appreciation for the sound RZA and others gave Dirty when listening to this, manipulating slow songs about love and happiness from Soul vocalists into the raw, chaotic sound heard on his albums.
