Finally, you can watch some classic footage, including a cypher between Big Baby Jesus and Busta Rhymes, as well as the Dirty Thoughts documentary.

#RIPODB This shot is from a page in the new issue of @RESPECTMAG shot by @themikeschreiber. He states how Dirty’s mood was low that day in 2003. Yet he perked up when they got on the ferry to the Statue of Liberty. That’s when he caught this easy smile of the wild out legend. He passed on this day in 2004, two days before his 36th birthday. Gave hip-hop that fun-loving rebel spirit which was needed and no one could match. No father to his style was true. Greatest moment was the Wu getting back together at Manhattan Center on 34th St. There was a man hunt for Dirty and the authorities couldn’t catch him. The stage is flooded with mad SI and Brooklyn cats. And there was one in an oversized snorkel coat with the hoodie on. You couldn’t tell who it was. I can’t remember exactly which song played but when it was Dirty’s verse, the calm dude in the snorkel grabbed the mic and snatched off his hood and it was ODB!! Wildin!!! When I say he made the place erupt, that’s an understatement. The whole balcony shook like crazy. The people on the floor was mosh pittin’…insane scene. He ripped shit and left. Didn’t get caught that night. With tons of cops around. ODB. One of the greatest. #BigBabyJesus #DirtMcGirt #Asun #HeKeepsPlanetsInOrbit #WhoRapsLikeThat? #AndCanSing? #Haha! #BKallDay #WuTangClan #TheWu #TBT
