Ol' Dirty Bastard, one of the most talented MC's in hip-hop, has died of an apparent heart attack.

ODB, Dirt McGirt, Osirus, Ason Unique and Big Baby Jesus; the rapper who was Blowfly's dirty-sex-rhyme heir apparent, yet the pop-friendly sellout who collaborated with Mariah Carey, Mya and Macy Gray; solo artist while Wu Tang member; a crackhead who declared that "Wu-Tang are for the children!" ... I could never quite grasp who he was, besides one hell of an entertainer and a raw-ass motherfucker.

How rap is? See rap, to me, is like my bitch, right. She fuck another nigga, and I get mad and ... I wanna kill the bitch. And I wanna kill the nigga. See this is how we must step up to the muthafuckin microphone.

Yes. I want my emcees to attack that fucking mic and I will miss his passion.

MTV has more on ODB's passing.
