Old Dirty Bastard is dead?!
Oh, damn -- now I'm depressed.
Who will singing 'Shimmy Shimmy Ya'? What will the Wu do? O.D.B. was so full of drugs he was supposed to be better preserved than this -- like Keith Richards or something. This is a man who MTV taped going to the unemployment office in a limo!

Date: 2004-11-17 08:32 am (UTC)Late rapper Ol' Dirty Bastard's widow is battling four other women who claim they had children with the star and are consequently entitled to his estate.
O.D.B.'s manager Jarred Weisfeld Monday insisted the hip-hop star was paying child support for at least seven children before his unexpected death on Saturday and has birth certificates signed by O.D.B. -- real name Russell Jones -- to prove it.
But O.D.B.'s wife of 13 years, Icelene Jones, argues the rapper fathered only her three children, dismissing rumors that he may have fathered more than 13 kids.
Weisfeld says, "I have seen the birth certificates of the four children in addition to the other three and they are all signed by Russell Jones personally. There is no question that those children are his.
"We made him a promise, if or when he ever passes, all his seven children will be taken care of."

O.D.B. is someone whose death is not a leaving, but a loss to those left to carry on.
O.D.B. is a loss that makes me sad, only slightly lessened by knowing that others feel the same.
I know that might seem like a lot to say about someone like him, yet somehow, it feels like not nearly enough.
