RIP ODB.

do not speak ill of the dead, guys...

The guy may not have been a model citizen, and I may not be a big fan of his music, and his habits may have been part of the reason he died, but it is still sad when someone passes away that young.

Who the hell was this guy?

No offense I never heard of him till Fox announced he was dead.

[Hamma]

I bet he is going to hang out with Tu Pac on his secret island. Tu Pac has been releasing new CD's for years after being dead

ODB was a founding member of the Wu Tang Clan, and did rap stuff. The only reason it's getting so much attention is the fact news channels can say 'bastard' now because of his death.

[FearTheAtlas]

He did good stuff, RIP ODB

In that case, Heil Hitler.

The fact of the matter is, I am not necessarily going to show a lot of compassion (I show respect towards the dead, but not always compassion) for someone who gets on the front page because he dies and is famous, especially if I never knew him. My grandmother died, she was very near to me, and all the world got was an obituary in the Miami Herald.

Those who don't know who ODB is are either too old, too young or live in a world where no music get's in aside from what they like. (aka the OMFG RAP SUXXORS! METAL ALL THE WAY! or the opposite)

ODB was a big part of the rap community and althought rap is not the best music in my opinion (I still listen to some) his death means a great loss.

God bless his soul.

exactly.

And just cause you don't like rap doesn't mean its sucks, thats your opinion, and just so you know to whoever said rap mostly has no meaning behind the lyrics, its the complety opposite, thats what rap was founded on.

Obviously you are mistaking rap with pop, where there actually is no meaning, just words that sound well together.

EDIT:

Just because you didn;t hear of him does not make him not famous.

He released many albums in rap and was known within the rap industry and its fans.

Thats why he was know or else he wouldn't become famous jsut cause he died.

To be recognised when u die u need to do somethign that affects alot of people whilst your alive, like musicians do with music, artists with art, etc, etc

[MrVicchio]

RAP artist rarely rank high on my little social radar, sorry.

[OfaLoaf]

Still, show some respect. It doesn't hurt anything to do so.

[GeneralRazor]

ODB was truely one of a kind. There truley was no father to his style.

Getting out of your limo to get food stamps...classic.

Busting in on the Grammys...classic.

There never be another like ODB.

Wu-tang forever.

[MrVicchio]

I never showed disrespect, just saying, never heard of the guy.
