When we last heard from OL' DIRTY BASTARD, he had ducked out of a drug-treatment facility moments before a scheduled trip to the Los Angeles Criminal Courthouse. Now this modern-day Dr. Richard Kimble is making his way across the country, ducking Johnny Law and helping old friends. Last Tuesday, Dirty, a.k.a. Russell Jones, assisted his Wu-Tang Clan mates during a concert at New York City's Hammerstein Ballroom. Much to the surprise of the audience and some of the group's nine members, Dirty, clutching a champagne bottle, performed two songs before addressing his faithful...
Following up their multiplatinum 1997 release Wu-Tang Forever may have seemed like a daunting challenge. Doing it without the incarcerated Ol' Dirty Bastard may have seemed impossible. But the Wu-Tang Clan's new release, The W, does not disappoint...
...Tang revels in its own unpredictability, its own inscrutability and its own ungainly nature. Wu-Tang is a conglomeration of rappers that includes RZA (the mastermind and main producer), Method Man (the star MC), Masta Killa, U-God, Raekwon, Inspectah Deck, GZA, Ghostface Killah and Ol' Dirty Bastard.

After the Wu-Tang Clan rapper failed to show, a no-bail bench warrant was issued for his arrest. Jones' police file is the stuff of legend, even by rap-star standards. What makes this latest escapade particularly sad is that Jones, according...
...shall try to name songs that I like that were fairly well-known: "Jumpin' Jumpin'" by Destiny's Child," "Shackles (Praise You)" by Mary Mary, "Thank You" by Dido, "Baby Did a Bad Thing" by Chris Isaak, "Porcelain" by Moby (I confess) and "Got Your Money" by Ol' Dirty Bastard (right). ODB IS ON THE LOOSE. ODB IS ON THE LOOSE. We interrupt this program to bring you this news. Wow. I always thought these things happened only in the movies. But as I'm sure you know by now, ODB fled from Impact House, site of a treatment program...
