The Dirty Version: On Stage, in the Studio, and in the Streets with Ol’ Dirty Bastard

A decade after his death by overdose at the age of thirty-five, Wu-Tang Clan’s Ol’ Dirty Bastard lives on in epic legend. Now, Dirty’s friend since childhood, Buddha Monk-a collaborator onstage and in the studio with the raucous and renegade group that forever altered the hip-hop world-reveals the truth about the complex and talented performer. From Dirty’s days with Buddha on the streets of Brooklyn to the meteoric rise of Wu-Tang’s star, from his bouts in prison to his court-mandated rehab, from his favorite kind of pizza to his struggles with fame and success, Buddha tells the real story-The Dirty Version-of the legendary rapper.
