Ol' Dirty **** (news | CDs | auctions), who came to fame as much for his personal problems as his singular style and skill as a rapper, collapsed and died in a New York City recording studio on Saturday (11/13), two days short of his 36th birthday.
The founding member of Wu-Tang Clan, whose real name was Russell T. Jones, was found unconscious in the Manhattan studio at about 4:40 p.m. He reportedly had been complaining of chest pains earlier in the day; an autopsy will determine the cause of death.
