How Ol' Dirty Bastard Lifted Car and Saved 4-Year-Old's Life: 'You Definitely Helped My Child'

In the the new documentary 'Ol' Dirty Bastard: A Tale of Two Dirtys', Maxine Lovell and her daughter Maati reflect on the moment hip-hop legend Ol' Dirty Bastard rescued Maati from underneath a car in Brooklyn over 26 years ago.

A New York woman is looking back at the moment Ol' Dirty Bastard rescued her daughter after she was struck by — and stuck underneath — a car over 26 years ago. A New York Daily News article after the accident noted that ODB was one of a dozen people who rushed to help Maati, and that the incident took place outside of Papa Wu's Brooklyn Sounds recording studios on Fulton Street. Maati's rescue story is just one of many moments that make up A Tale of Two Dirtys, which covers the rise of Wu-Tang, ODB's solo success, his iconic "Fantasy" team-up with Mariah Carey, his time in prison and his untimely overdose death on Nov. 13, 2004, two days before his 36th birthday.
