DIRTY: One Word Can Change The World
The Official ODB Biography
The Los Angeles Premiere
DIRTY: One Word Can Change The World is an intimate look into the life and death of the ground-breaking rap and hip hop artist Russell Jones, aka Ol Dirty Bastard or ODB. This in-depth documentary traces ODBs life from his childhood in Brooklyn to his eternal influence on music, time spent in prison and, finally, to his untimely death just two days before his 36th birthday.
ODB was the founder of Wu-Tang Clan, whose 1993 debut CD, 36 Chambers, received enormous critical praise and is now widely regarded as one of the best and most influential albums of any genre of that decade, as well as one of the best hip hop albums of all time. Perhaps the best-known member of the group, ODB was armed with a seemingly crazed, slurred, half-sung/half-rapped delivery.
His bizarre lyrics and humorous antics were unlike anything before in rap, encapsulating and personifying the raw, unadulterated and innovative style of the group. Also a multi-million-album-selling solo artist, ODB scored such hits as Brooklyn Zoo, Shimmy Shimmy Ya and Got Your Money, among others, and was featured on the 1995 remix of Mariah Careys Fantasy, an unlikely pairing that elicited a huge hit.
