Raekwon Says ODB Tops Kanye West, Lil Mama As Ultimate Stage-Crasher

Rae says his Wu-Tang Clan bandmate 'pioneered' the art of bum-rushing the stage.

Recently, [artist id="1190"]Raekwon[/artist] the Chef took time to reflect on the 2009 VMA stage-crashing incidents while visiting Power 106 radio personalities the L.A. Leakers. He said [artist id="1230523"]Kanye West[/artist] and [artist id="2514735"]Lil Mama[/artist] still take a backseat to the late, great [artist id="1110"]Ol' Dirty Bastard[/artist].

"That's his lane," Rae laughed, remembering how [article id="1429493"]Dirty interrupted the 1998 Grammys[/article] to protest Wu-Tang Clan's loss. "Dirt Dog did that because he had that suit on that day. Nobody seen Dirt Dog with a suit on before. That was Dirt. I'm sure everybody that's ridiculing Kanye or Lil Mama, Dirt was in that same position. He pioneered that beasting-the-stage sh--."

Rae did say that [article id="1621389"]Kanye's interruption of Taylor Swift[/article] wasn't quite as cool.

"Why he do that? That was a f---in' little girl, B," Rae said. "That was some sucker sh--. I ain't respect that right there. I ain't respect that.

"I like Kanye," the Chef added. "He had to be drunk or he felt like, 'F--- that! I own the awards.' I feel that wasn't fair to her as a teenager. To do that against a little white teenager, that wasn't really cool. At least he apologized. When you drinking, you don't know what the f--- you gonna do. They said he had a [bottle of Hennessy] on the red carpet. You know what that Henny will do. That Henny will f--- with you."

Raekwon was confused by [article id="1621423"]Lil Mama's actions[/article] as well. He initially thought it was planned for her to get onstage with Jay-Z and Alicia Keys.

"Lil Mama was on some Brooklyn sh-- that night, yeah," Rae said. "I thought she was supposed to come out. It is what it is. I looked at it like a Brooklyn thing. She's from Brooklyn, Jay's from Brooklyn. Maybe they were feeling themselves."
