Wu-Tang Clan

Ol' Dirty Bastard won't be there to celebrate Wu-Tang Clan's induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame this weekend ... but his family is making sure the late rapper gets his moment in the spotlight.

TMZ caught up with ODB's widow, Icelene Jones, and two of his daughters as they arrived in Los Angeles ahead of Saturday's ceremony ... and Icelene revealed their son, Young Dirty Bastard, will perform in his father's place alongside the legendary hip-hop group.

Icelene told us she's honored to represent her late husband ... who she says would've been proud of the recognition, especially considering he was a true rock star himself.
