Ol’ Dirty Bastard hijacks the stage at the 1998 Grammy Music Awards. His crew’s massive opus Wu-Tang Forever was nominated for Best Rap Album but lost to Diddy’s No Way Out early in the evening. But ODB finally got a word in later in the evening while Shawn Colvin was accepting the award for Song of the Year.
“It’s nice that I went and bought me an outfit today that costed a lot of money, you know what I mean? ‘Cause I figured that Wu-Tang was gonna win,” ODB said. “I don’t know how you all see it, but when it comes to the children, Wu-Tang is for the children. We teach the children. You know what I mean? Puffy is good, but Wu-Tang is the best, Okay? I want you all to know that this is ODB, and I love you all. Peace!”
ODB was the original Kanye West

“Little Man” - Wild Belles
What a perfect metaphor for the kinda of shit these “little men” out here pull on women/BEEN pulling on women for centuries.
This video also reminds me of my mom’s strange affinity for short Jamaican men with bad attitudes.
And sadly enough, we keep coming back *sigh*
and it’s directed by one of my favorite directors Melina Matsoukas, who directed the video for “We Found Love”
We don’t give directors enough credit, for real. They’re the brains behind the whole damn operation!

“Crack raised the murder rate in DC and Maryland.
We invested in that, it’s like we got Merril Lynched
and we been hanging from the same tree ever since.
Sometimes I feel that music is the only medicine,
so we cook it/cut it/measure it/bag it/sell it.
The fiends cop it.
Nowadays they can’t tell if
that’s that good shit?
We ain’t sure man.
Put the CD on ya tongue.
Yeah that’s pure man.”
— Kanye West, Crack Music
