Simply put, life was good. For instance, he usurped Shawn Colvin’s mic at the 1998 Grammies. As time went by, though, he devolved into a more and more disturbed state, and some of his entertaining traits came to suggest mental-health issues. Many critics silently thanked him for that, but then he publicly mused about being in personal danger because of George W. Seemingly unable to avoid incarceration for a variety of offenses, he died of “heart failure after cerebral hemorrhaging,” arguably caused by years of drug and other abuse.

ODB Deserves Better I was so excited when I first heard about this book; ODB means a lot to me. I was disappointed almost immediately.Lowe seems remarkably out of touch on a number of levels (the Dillinger Escape Plan are "emo rockers"?). She is comfortable with writing off the interest others have for ODB based on their appearance (which is almost too ironic). What's worse is her willingness to pu.

In a compelling combination of personal narrative, biography, and cultural criticism, Digging for Dirt explores ODB's life, career, mythology, death, and the troubled trajectory of his public and private worlds. As a solo artist, he released two albums that went gold and achieved crossover fame through a duet with Mariah Carey that debuted at number one on the Billboard charts. But for the next decade, his life would be fueled by chaos and excess until it derailed completely, resulting in a fatal drug overdose in 2004 and leaving behind an enigmatic legacy and a remarkably diverse group of fans. A fan's exploration of the man behind the mythOl' Dirty Bastard (aka Russell Jones) rose to fame with the Wu-Tang Clan in the early '90s, his unorthodox rap style and reputation for erratic behavior putting him in
