ODB Defaced in Bed Stuy
The Ol’ Dirty Bastard mural at the corner of Putnam and Franklin Avenues (originally painted by Vic Goldfeld for a documentary) was already repainted once after first being defaced in 2007; now, according to Bed Stuy Banana, it’s been defaced again: His face and the “Bastard” part of his name were painted over recently. “Angry…

he never claimed to be a role model. he was who he was. people who listen to rap arent looking for role models. i love rap myself, but mostly only female rap… trina, foxy, lil kim, lady of rage, northern state (tho those are white chicks but they are still good). he was however one of the fugliest mofo’s alive.
*rob*
This is not hip hop
ODB was from the fort greene projects
I think his mom lives in park slope now.
From the video I’m wondering how he ever made any money singing!!!!!!
MM, don’t forget the time he appeared on MTV allowing their cameras to film him collecting food stamps and a welfare check while he was earning millions with Wu Tang. He rode to the welfare office in a limo talking about how rich he is. That was another shining moment in ‘role model’ history. 🙁

MM- good point
Method Man is from Staten Island
I’d have to file this one under “who cares?”, frankly.
Can we raise up some better role models for our kids to emulate, instead of a foul mouthed rapper with thirteen children, who’s dead from an overdose? I don’t see the attraction.
Wasn’t he from Staten Island anyway? Or am I confusing him with one of the other 9,000 members of Wu Tang??
