Rapper Ol’ Dirty Bastard was known for his unique rap style, one that mixed hardcore New-York rap with your drunk uncle singing Frank Sinatra at 1:14 AM. While listening to ODB rap and talk always made one linger between “I have no idea what he’s talking about” and “I know exactly what he’s talking about”, he was rather clear on one subject: The government was trying to kill him.
Indeed, shortly before his untimely death on November 2004 (at the age of 36), ODB repeatedly tried to warn the world that people in high places were after him. Here’s a video compiling ODB’s rants about “the government” (Warning: Foul language).
While many dismissed ODB’s warnings as the “ramblings of a crackhead”, one thing is for sure: He was indeed heavily monitored by the FBI. Using the Freedom of Information act, Rich Jones of Gun.io blog obtained the hefty FBI file on ODB and his group, the Wu-Tang Clan.
The files document the history of the group, its many activities and its potential ties with the crime world. A part of it states:
“The detectives have documented, in their case files, that the WTC [Wu-Tang Clan] is heavily involved in the sale of drugs, illegal guns, weapons possession, murder, car jackings, and other types of violent crimes…”
Here’s the entire (but heavily redacted) file:
FBI File of Russell "Old Dirty Bastard" Jones
So. What really happened to ODB?

I seem to remember an interview with Griff, where he mentioned ODB's blood line and connections with the 'Blackfoot' tribe. I think he also spoke about disputes over land – possibly in the 'Montauk' area (but I could be wrong about that).
The easiest way to tarnish someones credibility is to mention drugs. Most people who use drugs do not become raving lunatics, even most addicts do not. The world would be in dire straits if this was the case.
Most of us do not get to witness what goes on behind the scenes. Remeber that the PTB target specific people, often depending upon their energy. They know who knows too much.
He wasn't the only one portrayed as crazy, look into videos of Dave Chappell he was labeled a crazy crackhead who ran off to Africa from his troubles. He tells another story that actually makes more sense than what the media and celebrity gossip spinoffs made of it.
It's only paranoia if there's no conspiracy; the US gov't has an entire division of 'trouble shooters' trained in the 'dark arts' of character assassination, defamation, psychological / chemical manipulation etc. They're pooled largely from CIA ranks; specialize in media and 'handle' agents & ops in every social strata. It doesn't take an army of black ops soldiers to quell dissent; they simply nail down / make examples of ANYone who dares stand up to the status quo. SnowedIn revealed ony the tip of an immense iceberg; one designed to keep contractors & third parties like him silent. They don't have to kill when they can insert illegal materials / data into any mail, recruit 'medical professionals' to condemn one as crazy / lobotomize and worse. Terror by design.
He was probably selling dope for the CIA; like the REAL Rick Ross.
ODB was also a heroin addict. He was in rehab with Scott Weiland for a bit back in 99-00.
He was killed plain and simple, by the "same" people. Some really good comments guys, thanks and of course Cheers to VC!
There is a picture of a Wu Tang Clan member doing the one eye…don't know his name cant remember. I was not surprised considering they have lyrics "exposing" the Illuminati and yet they are out there "making it big", classic self-exposure.
They also tour a lot with the Guano Apes who have included Illuminati symbolism in their stuff.
funny the file starts talking about illegal guns and one being used to kill ROBERT JOHNSON . who was the black man who met the devil at the crossroads and sold his soul for rock n roll?
tha only drug habbit we here about is the one the mainstream media reports he has, for all we kno he was a fuking genuis.
quite simple VC. He was killed by the secret society. You didnt know? Come on bro
Yep, just goes to show that heavy drug abuse and heightened levels of paranoia don't mix too well.
Oh please, this guy is just substituting out the white man for "the government", "CIA", and "Bush".
You can come toward two conclusions:
1. That Ol Dirty Bastard is so important to the "government" and so hated by "Bush" that the "CIA" decides after years to finally kill him.
2. That Ol Dirty Bastard was a suspect of involvement in a murder or numerous other red flags and as such, was being watched.
Only one of those two conclusions is rooted in substantial evidence and common sense.
odb committed food stamp fraud even after wu tang rose to fame. it doesn't seem unusual at all to me that he would be paranoid about the government watching him.
also, he was excommunicated from wu tang at one point because he would never show up to work on music/business.
i don't think there is really enough evidence leading to him being a victim of some conspiracy.
As usual, they mention the occasional smokescreen of 'drug overdose' to cover up their own doing since many buy into that bullcrap all the time…except for a few people like us here who know the real truth behind the demise of these whistle blowers.
May their souls rest in peace as their efforts to sound the alarm was never in vain even though most of them were rappers like Ol' Dirty himself right here who eventually turned out to be clean since the only thing 'dirty' about this is the hidden agenda of the elite who ritualistically wipe out these people.
Wonderful work VC, always keeping me vigilant with reports of these whistle blowers who were willing to risk their life for the truth.
Btw there is always some truth to what pple keep saying for example the illuminati..it dint just come out as a result of someone making stuff up.soo all of us should b aware of all this evil entities that are trying to bring us down lets put god first in all that we do for it is written in the bible in the book of revelation that satan will not triumph but GOD our mighty father will prevail.
P.S why do all this celebrities similarly die of drug use, isn't it strange.
Something for us all to recall:
"Drug Habit" =/= "Of course they had an overdose."
It's like saying that fatal falls are by necessity non-suspicious if the victim is a roofer.
The government was after him because he was behind child support. He had so many babies by different women.
The usual lol.
Who da hell is going to read all this crap? Keep it simple people!!
TD Jakes is a wolf in Sheeps clothing. Prosperity teaching. Your on the right path, but need true scripture. Not from a mega church
AMEN@Seedandsow
Untimely death November 2004, at age 36!!!!
Sounds very timely to me, especially when November is a ritual murder month and 36 (divisble by 3) is a powerful Illuminati number.
ODB was a danger to the illuminati – but one of our heroes.
May he RIP.
He also died on the thirteenth day too. And it was a Saturday, meaning it had been very close to being Friday the Thirteenth.
Odb made a song that was never released called wasted time. And in it he talks heavily about his surroundings.
The fact you have Snooki and Flu shot advertisments scars me..
Has any one read John Potash's book on the FBI involvement in the Tupac Shakur/Biggie Smalls wars… Fasciniating stuff. this goes right along with his argument…
That was a lovely post Grace – satan is the lord of negativity, false fears and irrational doubt.
Its part of the manipulation. To spread the negative energy, create panic. They feed off of it. That's also why most rituals happen around the same time of the year, and horrible (fake) events . . . . to create panic and make everyone scared. Satan feeds from it. I will not be controlled, however I will be aware and know thy enemy. Wake as many as possible. I love this outlook you have and I totally concur.
Yes the winter solistice this year was horrible, simply horrible. I spent most of it being (unsuccessfully) wooed by my ex who was (romantically) attired in the clothes of a friend of his who committed suicide a few months ago – negative energy can be counteracted – never doubt it.
both posts are lovely, thanks for the reminder.
hmm…. its not like they were your everyday people guys..
these were real hip hop Gangstars…they actually robbed or killed people this is where they came from..
and at the time they were making there way into mainstream influencing millions of people…
it makes sense that they are getting monitored…
and ODB knew that this was happing…
just like the mafia probably knows they get monitored as well….
thats what the FBI , CIA does ….monitor criminals…Gangstars…
but ODB Talked some lethal s**t no doubt
and takeing out a public figuire that speaks the truth while monitoring there gangsta rap group, that smokes blunts daily and is making money with this new Method Man of getting C.R.E.A.M in the music Industry, on the road to worldwide HIPHOP domination…
….dosnt hurt..and they are black so… …that gets them off..
They took him out.
Anyone notice how Wu-Tang Clan is initialized as WTC? World Trade Center is also initialized as WTC? What a coincidence… Maybe.
You only need to listen to Wu-Tang Clan's "Diesel" to hear what and who was going to take ODB out.
"someone help me please, they did 2-Pac in, they did Biggie in, the Government is after me, The CIA is after me…somebody help me please"
Wow
Not to mention all the lustful lyrics and videos.
Not to be of topic but I think we can all agree that we need some light shed on this surprise Beyonce album and why it was released on Friday the 13th of all days.
A nice day with meaning for a witch like Beyonce.
Excellent post turnkey….
That sounds pretty good, turnkey. You sound like someone who believes what VC is saying. Too bad for you I know better. Plant.
I think that turnkey is making excellent sense. Have anything substantial that suggests s/he is a plant?
Guess it takes a "plant" too know a plant huh…Marshall you sound like a very jaded individual.
Wow, he wasn't crazy after all…maybe very paranoid with that knowing that they were after him. How sad.
This has been an eye opener
Thanks for that. I think that we have gone from one extreme (of assuming that all performers are off their head on drugs and heading for early death) to the other extreme (that they are almost clean living and completely innocent and if anything happens to them, it will necessarily be the fault of the Illuminati). The truth always lies between those two extremes. If we don't acknowledge that, there will be even more casualties as performers will forget their personal responsibility to clean up their acts and go straight into victim mode.
@ Marshall Ramsey, -what crime sunn?
I'm just giving you the run down of what happened….. why is ODB's Mom, cousin, and the rest of the WU-Tang cool with us?
I hate the NWO/Illuminati, as much as anyone on this site.
Prove it.
Thanks for confessing to the crime Math Maticks. You and your associates are the one who gave him the bad coke. You 'sallowed' the coke, possible using elements of the Salix cinerea, or common willow tree. Expect jailtime soon.
Jail time, is what the ODB was trying to avoid, while flying after 911, with cocaine,…..
Logic -Reason- Truth,
I didn't give him s**t.. I love ODB.
-Karma has a way to catch up with people,- that want to do right- -remember that..
I come to thinking karma takes a lot of time to do it, and even – maybe it is in an afterlife?
This is the life you live now, there is a reason for not knowing what's before or after.?.
Just a thought. If he had $$ to buy coke at his leisure and got a hold of a bad batch, wouldn't he just flush it? Why swallow bad drugs on the way to get good drugs???? Story doesn't make sense. Perhaps Gza, who is still alive, is part of the misinformation train. Just a thought… It is easier to believe rappers are drug addicted stupid people than to believe that rappers are important to the agenda.
It was some cut ass coke, from some college kid…
He wanted the Raw Un Cut.
I have met a lot of cocaine-users in my life. The ones with the problems, well, you could crumble a paracetamol in front of them, and still they would try sniff it and hope it would work.
So,…would your brother say that ODB suffered from paranoid schizophrenia?…I know he had a drug problem, so did Whitney and Amy and many many others…all the more easier to make one's claim's look irrevelant. Do u believe there's no credence to his claims?
they do the same with DMX
And Katt williams
Back in the day, didn't ODB call himself "Jesus" for a while, like our friend Kanye West does? I remember him using the name "Osiris" for a minute as well. Knowing what we know now about Osiris and Horus, and how there are parallels betw. Horus and Jesus, and how we are allegedly living in the so-called "Age of Horus," I find this quite significant. Why do these patterns keep repeating? (I realize this is a somewhat rhetorical question.)
It would be interesting for VC to explore the connections between hip-hop, the use of alters (after all, most rappers ARE, in fact, alter egos), and the constant use of religious imagery and nomenclature. Why do so many rappers want to be Jesus?
Yes and Kanye West did say that George Bush is not for black people on national t.v. so Kanye better be careful because lately he is becoming very 'crazy' and 'delusional' similar to ODB.
Check out "five percent nation". I think that would help answer your question.
Moors? Moors refers to Northern Africans from Morocco and other places. Not all people of African descent are moors.
Can you tell me more about the Moors. Or maybe tell me where I can find more about this. I read the article about the moors and latin america. Also been to santo Domingo in the DR and saw a lot. I am originally from North Africa (morocco), but I'm born and raised in europe
Interesting! Ill Have to read up on that. Thanks for that incite…I am always open to learning new things.
Like Obama? Looool
Whoever said anything about Obama being intelligent? It doesn't take too much intelligence to read from notes delivered by Congress? Name an example of ANY president actually using intelligence……Lincoln and JFK. Period. The black men who DID have mass intelligence….MLK, Malcom, Bob Marley, 2pac…..all dead.
Why target just him, when it was a band? RZA and Method Man have always struck me as shills. I may be wrong.
Is that Method Man in the video above sitting next to ODB? I couldn't help but LOL when he was clearly trying to save his a** by contradicting ODB and saying, "Not me. I love the CIA, I love the gov't, I love the FBI…."
Oh How this story lines up with the rules "They" play by! Destroy reputation, introduce missinfromation and then divison and finaly some non-violent death that brings suppension but no hard proof of Homiside. U KNOW! smh! The Enemy is VERY Good at The ART OF WAR!! Demestic n Forein !
If anyone wants to understand the role Jay Z plays please google "Prodigy's letter to Jay Z' and read it……
Peace, Love and Unity x
there is a movie that looks at how movements were thwarted by authorities in the past in the USA, called COINTELPRO 101. It is a documentary by Freedom Archives.
Thanks for mentioning it, I'll check it out.
Illegal possession of body armour? wtf? So it's illegal to protect yourself?
its illegal to posses body armor or weapons when you are a convicted felon
Convicted felon or not he was shot several times. I'd wear body armor too!!
ODB was involved in all kinds of illegal activity. Food stamp fraud, pictures of him cooking crack in his own album jackets, attempted murder, not paying child support, etc…etc…"Shame on you". Sorry, if you are committing Federal crimes, there's a good chance the Federal cops (FBI) are going to look at you. Gun running and laundering money through the label are the charges that probably got the Feds interested.
FWIW, the FBI might have some Illuminati elements to it, but it's not the shadow government. The FBI is Federal Police. The FBI is not quite like the CIA, DARPA, IAO, NSA, etc….
If he was involved in all of these illegal activities, and was being monitored, then why didn't he end up in jail?
Just think about it
There are many out there now committing the same crimes….but there's one difference. They stay in their place. They are obedient and are allowed to do as they wish without consequences, as long as they play their role.
Ha so the fbi isn't part of America's corrupt chain of command?
I heard that it was originally supposed to be named the Federal Bureau of INQUISITION.
Wonder why they changed it…?
look at the interviews with tupac and snoop cheeta or whatever…he stood quiet while tupac talked about some s**t like this. the interviews with biggie and p dicky or whatever his f*****g name is..he stood quiet while biggie spoke. snoop and diddy were in on it and tupac and biggie were sacraficed so that these p***y motherfuckers could take over and brainwash the ones who listened.its upsetting and its our own fault. tupac straight up told us what was going on and no one listened. he was no thug he was a performance artist and he was no rapper he was a poet. he tried to tell us and no one really listened
I remember that MTV award interview with Pac & snoop. I felt in my soul snoop was shady & looked guilty as hell. He didn't say s**t during the whole interview. Then the next day Pac was shot. P.Dumbass was an instigator when Big was saying he didn't want any beef with Pac. Both were set up to be removed. After their deaths, rap music has totally gone downhill.
Snoop was not involved in Tupac's shooting,Snoop knew what was planned for Pac,but he couldnt tell him and he was scared shook.Just like Puff and Big,Puff was scared and he couldnt believe that his friend was going to get killed over some stupid s**t.
same thing with PIMP C, Tupac, BIGGIE and JOHN LENNON. These folks knew that NOTHING in that industry is free. Jay, Kanye and Beyoncé know that better than everyone, why u think they still alive…..
Correct Faith. If anyone wants to understand the role Jay Z plays please google "Prodigy's letter to Jay Z' and read it……
Peace, Love and Unity x
I read it a while back, Jay doesn't care, him and EVERYONE around him is about that money. He has made that perfectly clear.
I stumbled upon this letter the other day. Truly chilling. And I believe him 100%.
The letter is too raw to not be real. You can feel his words.
Love everyone, trust no one.
Trust no one, suspect everyone…
If it's possible that he was silenced? Of course it's possible.
People who tells the truth out loud, people who points the wrongness of the system, they all are KILLED. If they killed a f*****g president [JFK], then a rapper [or a journalist like HASTINGS] would be like snap of fingers. They killed CHICO MENDES, they killed Sister DOROTHY STANG and many, many others here in Brasil. What those dead people have in common? They dared to speak the truth, they dared to fight the system, they dared to embarass the government.
This s**t have been this way since the dawn of times.
great article VC I hope you Gus keep coming with quick post. I've been wondering where you've been. Glad this can get me back on track trying to expose the evils in this world God Bless
