Ol’ Dirty Gets Dirtied
A mural of ODB in Bed Stuy, Brooklyn'spray painted back in the summer of ‘06'has been recently vandalized: someone basically paint rollered his face, but left the rest of the welfare exterior intact. Maybe someone got wind of that merchandise deal we mentioned today (3rd item) and decided to take it out on Big Baby Jesus himself? The piece was originally commissioned by Dirt McGirt’s cousin, Raison G. Allah, and was based on the Return to the 36 Chambers album cover. Hopefully artist Victor Goldfeld, who originally painted the mural, is planning on going back to the Brooklyn Zoo and giving ODB his face back.
