It's been 8 years today, R.I.P. Ol' Dirty b*stard

[Pazzy]

There was an interview he did with this female while he was in prison. They went in depth about how he was a functioning retard and how he should be more responsible with letting females know he has an STD because he was spreading diseases......ODB had teeth missing and the interviewer was asking what can they do about fixing that......ODB also went on to let her know he wanted to eat her out.....This was around the time when ODB tried to commit suicide while in prison.... Cant remember where I read that but it was a publication because this was before i got my info from the net...If I had to take a guess i'd say Vibe magazine....



and I editted it before u quoted it....calm down.

i know what you're talking about. i would take that article with a grain of salt because he wasn't in his right mind when he did that interview. at one point, he was flipping out because he was hearing voices or acting like he was losing his mind.

there will never be another like ODB .. RIP !

 

[El Dinero]

Props on acknowledging that interview.....But that wasnt the only place I heard that sh*t. I heard it more then twice. I'll never forget before ODB's 1st album dropped he did this interview where he was walking bare foot in the streets of brooklyn with a mic and 2 goons next to him drunk and rambling about nothing. They brought up him being retarded then as well. It was also brought up at his death. To me it all made sense because he did act like a funtioning retard.

i really don't care. i love odb and his music. dude was an inspiration to me. i admired how he was able to be himself, not give a fukk and be completely confident with who he was. him being retarded just made me admire him even more because you have folks that are smart as all hell that can't even succeed. if he can pull women and manage to have 13 children, land a record deal, put out good music, making money and all, then what can you say about all the guys that have nothing wrong with them that can't manage to do any of that? dude was special.

calling him retarded is straight disrespect. the truth of the matter is that our brother's mind was a vaccuum for alot of things and forces that we cant see hear or touch. no one is gonna act "normal" under that circumstance.

U are right.....Him being retarded is actually dope.....From a blind black man making classic R&B to a functioning retard who made a classic hip hop album and classic songs. The history of Black music is something to be admired.

^^^^^i.e. the man was a drug addict. People do stupid shyt on drugs. He wasn't retarded.

Nonetheless, Rest In Power.

Homie died cause he swallowed a bag of coke like a dumbass

Old dirty wasn't "retarted" He was an alcoholic, that along with doing coke & crack will fukk your shyt up. Add to the fact that he was in an industry where he could do what he wanted, and get away with it as long as money is coming in, he was doomed to fall hard.

Whether he was born retarded or became retarded after years of alcohol and drugs we all pretty much agree that he was retarded right?




I've never heard ODB shake off the "ODB character/act" and talk/behave like an intelligent human being ever b
