[America Is Dying Slowly] Organized Konfusion & DJ O Gee "Decisions"

America Is Dying Slowly (an acronym for AIDS) was the second Red Hot project focused on raising awareness about HIV/AIDS in communities of color in the United States. It featured collaborations from several hip hop acts, including Mobb Deep, De La Soul, Common, Coolio, Biz Markie, Chubb Rock, The Lost Boyz, Pete Rock, Eightball & MJG and Wu-Tang Clan. Dubbed “a masterpiece” by The Source on its release, AIDS was one of the first of such efforts aimed at reaching out to African American men through pop culture. The Wu Tang Clan’s title track got tremendous airplay on Hip Hop and Rap radio stations and functioned as one of the most effective public service announcements ever created during the AIDS crisis. The last live performance of the entire original Wu-Tang Clan was for the MTV special called “Red Hot + Rap” produced for the album. Old Dirty Bastard was so late that MTV got frustrated and started filming the song without him. He arrived in the middle, climbed on stage and did his verse, which appeared in the show and can be seen at the end of show, embedded here; along with interviews with Dr. Dre talking about Easy-E dying of AIDS and a young Cee Lo performing with his group Goodie Mob.

Thanks for the upload! I bought this CD years ago-whenever it came out and due to the vagaries of life & time, forgot about it. I used to love this song here!👍🏾👍🏾
