Tuesday (November 13) marked the eight-year anniversary of Ol’ Dirty Bastard’s death.
Dirty, who died at the age of 35 due to a drug overdose, is still remembered fondly by his Wu-Tang brethren.
Both Ghostface Killah and Raekwon spoke with TMZ about their approaches to remembering Dirt Dog.
“Today I just want to have a day of prayer to let my brother know I am thinking about him,” said Rae of Big Baby Jesus.
“This still hits me real hard,” added Rae.”I will mourn over him today and think about how much he taught me.”
Ghostface also spoke about Dirt McGirt, though he said he took a different approach than Raekwon with regards to Ason Unique. “I never dwell on the day we lost him, I just celebrate the times I had with him.”
Ghostface explained his appreciation for Osirus. “I pray and thank God on this day because he is my angel … I spent the day just sitting quietly and praying. Dirt wouldnt want us mourning so I don’t.”
“I still hear his voice daily,” added Ghostface about Russell Jones. “Whether it’s his music or memories of things he taught me.”

I like how he hit ODB’s various monikers.

yeah, really cool
big baby jesus I cant wait nigga fuck that i cant waaaaait!!
These “articles” are so shallow and brief. And the “writer” touching on all his nicknames was (is) a little annoying,something they all do on every article on every artist. In the first 8,9 sentences alone he referred to him by 4 names… IRRITATING
The nickname thing annoys me too…I think they may be doing it cause they dont know how to transition to the next paragraph without using the rappers name….and they cant keep repeating the same name, so they use nicknames….This site really needs professional writers who know what theyre doing
at least they got his nicknames right
i seen them fuck up so much trying to do this. just keep it simple you fuck heads
what the fuck why the fuck dose this have only 4 comments,there should be masses of people saying R.I.P Ol’ Dirty Bastard Which would have hip hop dx outcome in the comment bored servers disastrous,while Many of the victim family save they ashes.
rip
ol D B
Because most people on this probably don’t even know about Ol Dirty ..Fickle hip hop fans
R.I.P Ol Dirty
RIP ODB
RIP O’l Dirty

This article was just an opportunity to put all of his names down in one place.

R.I.P. Russel Jones, you’ll never be fotgotten!
“Shame on you when you step through to the Ol’ Dirty Bastard, Brooklyn Zoo!”
R.I.P ODB!!
