This Story Of Raekwon, RZA, And Ol’ Dirty Bastard Smoking Angel Dust Is Insane

Angel dust and push-ups.

January 23, 2015

Before we go any further here, let's clear the air: do not smoke angel dust. I'm not speaking from experience (really) but, like, Big Lurch smoked dust and ate his girlfriend. He is in jail for life, and his girlfriend is (obviously) dead. Do not smoke angel dust.

OK! Moving on: Wu-Tang Clan's Raekwon recently sat in front of 247hh's cameras and told a story about how he and the late, great Ol' Dirty Bastard once smoked angel dust and subsequently had a push-up contest. Raekwon claims he did so many push-ups (900?) that the effects of the dust wore off. Honestly, just watch the video above—besides being a crazy story about two guys smoking angel dust and doing push-ups, there's also some pretty cool detail in Rae's storytelling about what it was like to roll with the Wu back in the day.

Don't smoke angel dust!
