When Kendrick Lamar performed as the musical guest for Saturday Night Live last weekend he seemed to pay homage to Wu-Tang Clan rapper Method Man by braiding half his hair and wearing black contacts. The tribute coincided with the 20th anniversary of the release of Method Man’s debut album Tical, and when MTV spoke with RZA after the performance he noted that it was also just days away from the 10th anniversary of Ol’ Dirty Bastard’s passing.
“Yeah I did catch that,” RZA said when asked about Kendrick’s performance and apparent tribute. “It was Dirty’s birthday and the anniversary of Tical. We celebrated in L.A., we had a kung-fu night at a movie theatre. We showed 5 Deadly Venoms and we had a special ODB cake made.”
“As we sitting there with the cake, one of the writers came over and showed the Kendrick thing,” he continued. “He just said to me, ‘Yo I feel like Kendrick is showing respect to Dirty right now, do you see this?’ I looked at it and I was like, ‘Wow, that looks like respect to me too. So, respect.
“Dirty was an unique emcee, a unique artist that’s in our time period of this world,” RZA added. “Whether it was done intentionally—maybe he didn’t even think that, maybe he was just inspired. Who knows? I didn’t speak to Kendrick but it definitely, for me, it made me nod my head. We miss Ason. We miss him.”

Who are we kidding – ODB was horrible. Listening to him literally hurts your ears.
Bullshit. Return to the 36 Chambers was classic shit. Shame on you.
who are we kidding: your comment sucksass
trollers gonna troll. Listen to his first album. Listen to some tracks from “Nigga Please” like “I can’t Wait”, “You don’t want to fuck with me”, and “Dirt Dog”….tell me that shit aint dope.
By the way, I’m pretty sure you meant that it figuratively hurts your ears. If you understood what literal or figurative meant, then you’d find it unnecessary to use either word there.
Saying that music hurts your ears is metaphor, why would you say “Literally” there? Did the U.S. population just discover that word?
Step your troll game up son.
ODB couldve been one of the greatest rappers ever lived.
too bad he was so fucked up most of the time.. it shattered his creativity.
go look for CREAM live from ’93.. listen in the background, it’s ODB singing. maann this guy could actually sing! and what a voice!
