Alias'
There getting out of hand. ODB, Big Baby Jesus, Osirus, Dirt McGirt are all fine because he actually rapped under these names. The rest were probably names he was called maybe once...I mean Ol' Dirty Chinese Restaurant? Come on...
 * I'm removing "Ol' Dirty Chinese Restaurant" as this was a joke alias from Chappelle's Show, not a name he ever actually used. He doesn't even appear in the sketch. Lazarusloafer (talk) 18:25, 30 June 2016 (UTC)

I reintroduced the aliases section, but culled it to list only notable personae. Rap aliases are more than just alternate stage names: they are notable artistic choices. ODB, like other Wu-Tang'ers, has several developed personae he raps through, each with their own backstory, and is extensively credited and referenced by several of them. You can't tell a complete story about ODB without describing his experimentation with roles, fronts, names and personae. --Mrflip (talk) 02:32, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

Many of the current aliases are lifted from the MST3K treatment of "Space Mutiny," including Dirk Hardpec, Roll Fizzlebeef, Flint Ironstag, and Blast Hardcheese. I suspect ODB was never known by any of these names. 66.31.76.21 (talk) 06:30, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
