it couldn't be racist because

775
00:28:47,309 --> 00:28:50,145
it was a black cop
who killed a black man.

Love makes it hurt.

But love also
gives you the chance to

1378

give them the space
to make their own mistakes.

1379

The RZA.

ODB, whose real name
is Russell Jones,

1467
00:54:17,588 --> 00:54:19,131
was one of hip-hop's
most successful

1468

yet troubled rappers.

1469
00:54:20,841 --> 00:54:22,384
Tonight, he collapsed and died

1470
00:54:22,468 --> 00:54:23,927
at his recording studio
in Manhattan

1471
00:54:24,011 --> 00:54:26,054
just two days shy
of his birthday.

1472
00:54:26,138 --> 00:54:27,890
I was home at the house.

1473
00:54:28,140 --> 00:54:31,310
And the girl called me
screaming, talking about,

1474
00:54:31,393 --> 00:54:32,811
"Dirty's on the floor.
He's not breathing."

1475
00:54:32,895 --> 00:54:34,313
I said--I was screaming
back at them ,

1476
00:54:34,396 --> 00:54:35,731
"Why don't somebody
call an ambulance?"

1477
00:54:35,814 --> 00:54:37,232
Nobody called an ambulance.

1478
00:54:37,316 --> 00:54:38,650
He was on the floor
when I got there.

1479
00:54:38,734 --> 00:54:40,068
Yeah, I couldn't--
I didn't go there.

1480
00:54:40,152 --> 00:54:42,196
I just picked him up
and put him in my arms.

1481
00:54:42,279 --> 00:54:43,655
And I apologized
to my mother too.

1482
00:54:43,739 --> 00:54:44,740
I picked him up.

1483
00:54:44,823 --> 00:54:48,285
And , um , but--the--

1484
00:54:48,619 --> 00:54:50,704
The--the police said ,

1485
00:54:50,788 --> 00:54:52,706
um , "This moment
could be for Miss Jones."

1486
00:54:52,790 --> 00:54:54,249
That was me.

1487
00:54:54,333 --> 00:54:55,959
And I went in there,
and they--all of them .

1488
00:54:56,293 --> 00:54:58,629
And then they told--
oh, she didn't shed a tear.

1489
00:54:58,712 --> 00:55:01,882
So the anger
was building up anyway.

1490
00:55:02,132 --> 00:55:03,634
Because I-I--
give me a moment

- I had to talk to him .
- And he wasn't there.

1496
00:55:11,975 --> 00:55:13,227
But they showed me
where he died .

1497
00:55:13,310 --> 00:55:14,478
I talked to him .

1498
00:55:14,561 --> 00:55:16,688
I laid on the floor.
It was me and , uh...

it's gonna be unique.</i>

1506
00:55:31,370 --> 00:55:32,788
He was so confident.

1507
00:55:32,871 --> 00:55:34,665
He--he brought the confidence
to us

1508
00:55:34,748 --> 00:55:36,959
in another level , because

1509
00:55:37,042 --> 00:55:38,961
he wanted niggas to know
that, yo,

going on right here.

us taking off,

1513
00:55:46,510 --> 00:55:48,720
he gave us that hope,
he told us.

1514
00:55:48,804 --> 00:55:51,181
When we was feeling like,
yo, we doubting it,

1515
00:55:51,265 --> 00:55:53,267
he'd stand right in front
of your face and look at you ,

Give me a power cypher.

1529
00:56:23,589 --> 00:56:24,798
[ODB] Every time
you ask me for some

1530
00:56:24,882 --> 00:56:26,884
fucking goddamn money,
I give it to your punk ass.

1531
00:56:27,801 --> 00:56:29,511
You owe me too.

1532
00:56:29,595 --> 00:56:31,096
- [ODB] <i>Oh, shit.</i>
- [laughter]

1533
00:56:31,179 --> 00:56:32,097
Wild dude.

1534
00:56:32,222 --> 00:56:33,724
He was definitely
the most fearless rapper

1535
00:56:33,807 --> 00:56:35,183
I ever came across.

1536
00:56:35,267 --> 00:56:36,768
Especially on that stage, man.

1537
00:56:36,852 --> 00:56:39,104
He was gonna make sure
everybody in that bitch knew

1538
00:56:39,187 --> 00:56:41,023
Wu-Tang was there
and we was the best

1539
00:56:41,106 --> 00:56:43,066
motherfuckers
to ever fucking do it.

1540
00:56:43,150 --> 00:56:44,151
He seen it.

1541
00:56:45,193 --> 00:56:47,112
It's like, yo, he's important.

1542
00:56:47,404 --> 00:56:49,114
It's like we all important
and shit.

1543
00:56:49,197 --> 00:56:52,743
But just for that energy,
just to be gone...

1544
00:56:53,744 --> 00:56:55,996
That's why I tell brothers,
man, I love you , man.

1545
00:56:56,288 --> 00:56:58,290
Know what I mean?
Regardless of what.

1546
00:56:58,874 --> 00:57:00,918
- That shit hurt me.
- [Inspectah] Mm , yeah.

1547
00:57:01,001 --> 00:57:02,502
He made it exciting,
though, man.

1548
00:57:02,586 --> 00:57:03,962
He definitely made it more fun.

1549
00:57:04,046 --> 00:57:05,714
I tell y'all one thing,
put his album on...

1550
00:57:05,797 --> 00:57:07,382

[GZA]
Yo, yo, I was listening to it.

album , yo.

1559
00:57:21,647 --> 00:57:23,941
Rest in peace to the Dirt Dog.

baddest emcee in the industry.</i>

[man] You said
you didn't cry when he passed?

1565
00:57:38,997 --> 00:57:41,625
No, I didn't.
Mm-mm , no.

1566
00:57:41,750 --> 00:57:44,836
U m , because I know
I'm gonna see him again.

1567
00:57:46,338 --> 00:57:48,590
I cried while Rusty lived ,

1568
00:57:48,674 --> 00:57:50,509
because I didn't know
where he was,

1569
00:57:50,592 --> 00:57:51,843
what he was doing.

1570
00:57:51,927 --> 00:57:53,220
I worried .

1571
00:57:53,929 --> 00:57:55,597
So I ain't have to worry
anymore.
