Ol' Dirty Bastard also known as Dirt McGirt, Osirus, Big Dirt, Ason Unique, and Big Baby Jesus is one of the most eccentric hip-hop personalities of all-time. As one member of the notorious Wu-Tang Clan, his unique cadence and vocal ability were utilized in order to curate some of the dopest choruses for the group's projects. His performance on 'Shame On A N****' and 'Protect Ya Neck' has influenced many hip-hop enthusiasts to favorite those particular tracks on Wu Tang's classic debut album.
ODB's solo projects produced mainstream hits like 'Brooklyn Zoo', 'Shimmy Shimmy Ya', and his legendary verse on Mariah Carey's 'Fantasy [Remix]. Unfortunately, McGirt ran into legal troubles after an MTV documentary showed the rapper pulling up to a local New York welfare office in a limousine with his family in order to receive benefits. Things took an even bigger turn for the worse after he passed away from a drug overdose in November of 2004, two days before his birthday. Rest in power to the Ol' Dirty Bastard.
