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…

Released from jail on $5,000 bail. [2 August 2000]
Released from jail to complete his six-month jail sentence at a drug rehabilitation center. Downey caused a stir when he was freed to work on a movie. [31 March 1998]
He got into fight with another inmate at the Los Angeles County Jail, where he was serving time for a probation violation, and was treated for a cut over his nose. [13 February 1998]
Jailed for 180 days for violating probation. [December 1997]
Probation revoked after continued drug use. [17 October 1997]
Remanded to a secure drug rehabilitation center. [August 1996]
During traffic stop for speeding, he was arrested for drunk driving, possession of heroin, and possession of an unloaded pistol in his pickup truck. This was his first reported brush with the law at age 31. He was given a suspended prison sentence of 3 years, and granted probation with requirements of random drug testing and drug counselling. [August 1996]
So much for Downey’s “special” treatment
Well The Who weren’t exactly role models either were they? Smashing up property, pedophilia..
Never been a fan of rappers. I despise them all…Vanilla Ice Milk too.
Hate the various murals that are on the walls in the nabe…especially those that espouse negative stereotypes.
So who/what should we put in its place to support gentrification?
An ad for half million dollar condos that many people in the nabe can’t afford? or an ad for rentals @ $3,000.00 a pop something else many who live in the nabe can’t support?
In each case, the signs are annoying.
What, your commentary might be worthwhile if you had a clue. ODB arrested in NY which has the Rockefeller drug laws, and Downey arrested in a state that does not have them. But don’t worry about that, its easier to chalk up everything to racism, covert class warfare and people buying brownstones in Clinton Hill rather than think for 5 minutes about what you are saying. Your dribble-mouthed nonsense distracts from real race issues in sentencing.
“What, you are correct that an injustice exists regarding the treatment of ODB vs. Robert “perpetual crack-head” Downey Jr., but what has that got to do with B’Stoner? Serious question.”
The same Covert Race/Class warfare that is in our society is right here, Dumbass! Please read my first post, that painting (Or whatever you call it) is a Caricature and the person(s) responsible for painting over it are heros! It should come down and BTW the paint was put there for a documentary on ODB’s life. This was at the beginning of the Asshat invasion..
The What
Someday this war is gonna end..
it’s funny when what breaks out of his tired routine and actually adds something of substance to a conversation. you should do that more often what you bring an interesting perspective to a lot of conversations but you botch it up so badly with your… eh i cant think of the right word.

Brooklyn Zoo
I’m the one-man army ace on,
I’ve never been tooken out,
I keep M.C.’s lookin’ out.
I drop science like Cosby drops the babies,
Enough to make a ni**a go cra-a-azy.
Energy building,
Takin’ all types of medicine,
Your ass thought you were better than,
Hey son, I keep planets in orbit,
While I be comin’ with deeper and more shit!
Enough to make and bake and shake your ass as I create rhymes good as a tasty cake makes.
This style, I’m mastered in,
Ni**as catchin’ headaches, what, what – you need aspirin?
This type of pain, you couldn’t even kill with Midol,
F**k around get sprayed with Lysol.
In your face like a can of mace, baby,
Is it burnin? Well, f**k it, now you’re learnin!
How, I don’t even like your motherfuckin’ profile,
Give me my f**kin’ s**t, (Ch-ch…plow!)
Not seen and heard, no one knows, you forget,
Ni**as be quiet as kept,
Now you know nuthin’, before you knew a whole fu**in’ lot,
Your a** don’t wanna get shot,
A lot of M.C.’s came through my showdown,
To watch me put your f**kin’ a** lo-o-ow down,
As you can go, below zero, without a doubt I’ve never been tooken out,
By a ni**a, who couldn’t figure, yo by a ni**a, who couldn’t figure,
Yo by a ni**a, who couldn’t figure, how to pull a fu**in’ gun trigger,
Get the fu** outta here!
Ni**a wanna get too close, to the upmost,
But I got stacks that’ll attack any wack host,
“Introducin’, yo f**k that ni**a’s name,”
My hip-hop drops on your head like ra-a-ain,
And when it ra-a-ains it pours, cause my rhyme’s hardcore,
That’s why I give you more of the raw,
Talent that I got will riz-ock the spot,
M.C.’s I be bur-r-rnin’, bur-r-rnin’ hot,
Woah ho ho! Hit me like slow-mo with the flow,
If I move too quick, oh, you just won’t know,
I’m homicidal when you enter the target,
Ni**a get up, act like a pig tryin to hog shit,
So I take yo a** out quick, the mics I had my ni**a,
You can suck my d**k,
If you wanna step to my motherf**kin’ wreck,
(Ch-ch plow! plow! plow!) blown to death,
You got shot cause you knock knock knock,
“Who’s there?” Another motherf**kin’ hardrock,
Slackin’ on your back cause raw’s what you lack,
You wanna react? Bring it on back…
Shame on You, when you step through to, the Ol’ Dirty Bastard,
Brooklyn Zoo! (X5)
Shame on ya…
What, you are correct that an injustice exists regarding the treatment of ODB vs. Robert “perpetual crack-head” Downey Jr., but what has that got to do with B’Stoner? Serious question.
What’s right…most musicians have no idea what they are getting into wrt agents, contracts, etc. If they are not educated well enough to seek out real legal representation they usually get screwed.
The same goes for the way their money is managed after they begin to make some. This holds true for many sports figures as well. Its reallty a shame.
