Movie Reviews The Rise And Fall Of Old Dirty Bastard Review

The Rise And Fall Of Old Dirty Bastard Review · Posted : 11-01-2009, 04:32 PM

After watching the documentary on ODB it shed some light on a lot of things. All the members of Wu Tang, family members shared their memories on him as well. The point of wu-tang was to change the way people viewed the ghetto parts of New York.

Loads I've learned like when he performs and he leans back as if he was falling was actually to mimic the drunken master from Kung Fu movies and also meant he was ready to bust ur a$$.

He grew up and had many siblings, his uncles had many children which is probably why he was able to have 13 kids but in contrary of most fathers of today, he took care of each and every one of them. His mother made sure of it. He grew up listening to good old school music like Marvin Gaye, which explains how he was able to sing so well and hold a note.

By creating his group Brooklyn Zoo he made sure all his home boys made it too. That's something a lot of artists of today lack, they all want to make it and be solo on the top.

ODB wasn't only crazy on stage, but a funny one too, Like Rza shared a memory of him having a girlfriend and ODB tongue kissed her before he even did. Think he would be sour? no he laughed at it.

They spoke about him being sent to a drug free facility, broke out to join the Wu on stages and got sent afterward to few years in jail. He mention many times that the government wanted to kill him, his family thought he was crazy but no one up to today even knows why he spoke about it and why. They shared also some crazy and freaky stories almost like he could see the future.

The years in jail took a tole on him, he seemed to have been loosing his mind, his brother showed a picture and explained what he went through to even the Chip they put in him.

Before leaving his mother's house, he told his mom today will be the last time you see me. And that was it. ODB died off Pain killers overdose, in the dvd they explain why.

After watching the DVD it made me see what kind of person he really was. The media made him look like a menace to society, meanwhile he was trying to be himself, a free spirit. He wasn't hurting anyone, bit trying to show people how to think and live for themselves and not be brain washed by the government.

For all you Wu Tang or ODB fans this is something to get!!

His life story reminded me of 2pac for the fact that both were able to gran the fans atention in everything they did and when they spoke people listened to every word they spoke. Just mention their names alone you can go on and on with what they've accomplished. However, 2pac did his own thing solo and was around much longer with more material.
