ODB in court LOS ANGELES -- Rapper Ol' Dirty Bastard showed up in court Tuesday morning (May 18) just as planned. The only problem was he turned up in the wrong courtroom in the wrong part of the city. Having apparently mixed up his court dates for the second time in a month, the Wu-Tang Clan co-founder and MC was nowhere in sight when Judge Richard Berry called his name shortly after 9 a.m. in Los Angeles Superior Court. He was supposed to be there for a hearing on a potentially precedent-setting felony charge that he illegally wore a bulletproof vest. Instead, ODB was waiting patiently for his terrorist-threat case to be called across town in Santa Monica Superior Court. But that case wasn't scheduled until Wednesday (May 19). "He apparently got his courthouses or court dates confused and showed up here," Jim Crossman, a court bailiff at Santa Monica Superior Court said. "He was told to come back tomorrow." Though this is not ODB's first court mix-up, Berry told ODB's attorney Robert Shapiro, the famed lawyer who helped get O.J. Simpson acquitted on double murder charges, that he would postpone the bulletproof vest hearing until June 2. In the meantime, the judge said he would hold a bench warrant for the rapper's arrest until noon Tuesday. When he showed up by noon, the judge withdrew the warrant. Not long afterward, the delinquent MC appeared in court wearing blue denim overalls and a white shirt with its store tags sticking out from the neckline. "You understand if you're late again you'll be locked up, right?" Berry asked the rapper. "Yes," ODB replied meekly. "We'll be back and we'll be ready," Shapiro said. Berry then excused the beleaguered rapper, who started to leave the courtroom. Shortly before reaching the doorway, however, ODB stopped and appeared to be falling asleep standing up, until a female companion grabbed him by the hand and ushered him out. In the vest case, ODB is believed to be the first person arrested under a new law forbidding convicted felons from wearing body armor; the law applies to him because he was convicted of assault in 1993. "No one has ever been charged with this statute, and the majority of people, including lawyers, are not aware of it," Shapiro said prior to the hearing. "Most people, if you tell them that it's against the law to wear a Kevlar vest, would be absolutely astounded." Tuesday's incident wasn't the first time ODB has confused his courtrooms or missed hearings altogether. Last month the 30-year-old rapper, born Russell Jones, narrowly escaped arrest at Santa Monica Superior Court after showing up late for a hearing in the terrorist-threat case. In that case he is accused of threatening to kill club security guards after being ejected from the West Hollywood, Calif., House of Blues in September. His attorney for that matter, Kevin Barnes, told Judge Richard Neudorf that his client went to Beverly Hills Superior Court, thinking the hearing was there. Clearly low on patience, Neudorf pointed out that ODB had been late previously for another hearing in the case and warned the rapper he would not tolerate his delinquency in the future. Barnes assured Neudorf that ODB had no trouble making his other court dates and would not be late again. Earlier in that same case, Beverly Hills Municipal Judge Judith O. Stein had issued a warrant for ODB's arrest in October after the rapper failed to appear on time for a hearing in her courtroom. She later withdrew the warrant when he finally turned up that afternoon. In a previous hearing on the vest case in Los Angeles Superior Court, Berry held a warrant for ODB's arrest after the rapper missed a March 23 hearing because he was in police custody on the opposite coast. Two days earlier, New York police arrested ODB for alleged crack cocaine possession. He is expected to answer that charge in a Brooklyn, N.Y., courtroom Friday. Last summer, ODB blew off three hearings in Virginia on a charge he stole a $50 pair of tennis shoes that July; three warrants for his arrest in that case are still outstanding. While his attorneys in New York and Virginia said ODB missed the latter two hearings due to travel problems, he skipped the first to play a date on his first-ever solo tour. "Not today," ODB said when asked if he planned to fly with Virginia to face the charge. "I've got shows to do. I'm just chillin'."
Good ODB news, yes you read right "It's done," ODB said, adding that guest artists on the effort are "all Wu-Tang." ODB had previously talked about Madonna and Lauryn Hill contributing to the record.
Cappadonna vs George Lucas MTV reported that Cappadonna is working on his new album and it is to be called, "Yin & Yang". the first single to be released was gonna be called, "Star Wars", but Cappa's lawyer said that might not be a good idea so Cappa changed the title to, "Rats Sraw", which is star wars spelled backwards.

Riot? Atari Teenage Riot (hard-core punk, techno,drum & bass,) has just dropped a new 13 track lp entitled "60 Second Wipe Out " and it has Beck and Wu-Tang on it....I dont know any peeps who has this yet though. Iīm not sure whoīs representing the Wu, it could be The Rza or ODB? If u think about this, it makes sense since Atari dropped out of Lollapalooza to open on the Rage Against the Machine/Wu Tang Clan tour in 1997....and their label is the same as ODB's!! Big up to Blazin Sun for the info.
The Wu is in the House!
