You would think at least one or two of the rap legends could help even a lil bit.LLCoolJ, Reverend Run, Jay Z, even Russell Simmonds, and P Diddy could each donate $10K for Cool Herc. I would if I were as wealthy as them. I wonder if they even know?
if it wasn't for Herc none of these rappers would be gettin paid, and none of them are throwin any cash his way in his time of need, yet they would still claim that they're 'keepin' it real' ???
please everyone pray to allah...help dj kool herc because he's the one that invented hip hop and rap music. he means everything to me. who am i? RAPPAMAN. DJ Kool Herc's number One fan plus proud supportr of hip hop and rap music.
how many rich-ass niggas with their unneccesary bling , pouring the cristal on the floor , crashin their ferraris could lay a buck for the hip hop legends hospitalisation ? they dont own him anything , but they are spending money like stoopid , when they can help here...
@mat17c Exactly what I'm saying. As of 2011 Jay Z is reported to be worth over $450,000,000. Why can't he throw a million over to Herc??? This man spawned hip hop and all the greedy artists out there can't spit up any green? Hey Puffy, Dre, Jay Z, Lil Wayne, take one of your many million dollar chains off your neck and give it to Herc!
Righty back at you man, the neocon bit was below the belt.
The Facebook comparison was an interesting one, merely getting a job through Facebook wouldn't warrant, the public paying his health bills but if they utilised his coding or platform to make their own fortune and used The FB logo to advertise, he would be within his rights to sue.
Hip Hop didn't advertise rappers and djs a job, it created them a job and empowered a generation to better themselves and their enviroments
When you were coming up in the most social depressed era in poverty, staying alive could be a bitch let alone paying your way, In those days, black artists didn't get the breaks they get today. Your argument is lame, Gates, Trump, they were all born into money, they created nothing, they capitalised on an existing business , a luxury most people in The Bronx would never have in the pre MTV era . I'm glad Russell Simmons has stepped in to Herc's Bills, you don't have to worry now.
@samhain66 Gates created Microsoft what are you talking about. Even if I don't use Gates or Trump I can use Trumps father. Fred Trump created the position he was in by capitalizing on a market that existed REAL ESTATE. Should Fred Trump look for descendants of those who brought real estate to the forefront of business and pay their medical bills? My argument is not lame. You have a weak beggars mentality.
Respond to this video...Fred Trump would have a fucking hard time. being dead and all. paying the bills of the Land developers and Real Estate pioneers of the Middle ages, yep, it goes back that far. I appreciate your personal attitude toward improvement but also realise that some times, you have to give something back to the culture that spawned you.. and for the record I wouldn't want a thing from Snoop or 50cent etc.
@samhain66 further more Russel Simmons either A) Knows Kool Herc as a friend B) Is seeking publicity or C) is performing a rare act of altruistic kindness.
He's not doing this because he believes he "owes" it to Kool Herc. I'm not debating helping the guy I'm debating the notion that people OWE it to him. No one owes it to him.
If you use facebook to get a job, meet your future wife or establish a career
Suppose mark zuckerberg gets sick and had no $. Do you owe him med bill payment?
@samhain66 where do you draw the line with your beggar mentality?
Facebook was created by mark zuckerberg. People have used it to get jobs, people have used it to get careers people have used it to establish connections. You can support a cause like this but suppose Mark had no money and became sick and then began charging you a monthly fee of $700 to use facebook so he could pay his medical bills. Would you fell justified in paying it because you have the money? THINK. USE YOUR HEAD.
@samhain66 What Russel Simmons has done, has nothing to do with your flawed argument. It's hilarious how you try to use his action as a benchmark for your bullshit. Whats the basis of your thinking now? That because Russel did it he's "paying a debt" he believes that he owes? Your mentality is so weak, we might as well sit back and tell entertainers to pay all of our bills because after all I mean we as people made them famous right? Where do you draw the line with your shameless begging?
@BA0424 Erm, I like your thinking but I was asking others to help someone else not myself, I don't have to beg so why do you direct this to me personally, is it because I'm getting to you.... I ain't begging for shit, I made my own way and helped out many more along the way because I could afford to not because I had to but thats just me.
You don't think they owe him anything, I do... thats just the way it is, I'm not holding Russel up to bolster my stance just glad he did.
@samhain66 Ok my apologies. My attacks were in response to you calling me a neocon and a "fucking fool" Lol.
I just need a reason for why they owe him something besides the fact that he created a platform they used to progress.
Many people use Mark Zuckerbergs facebook platform to progress, some have made lasting connecitons and found jobs directly off of facebook alone but do they owe mark zuckerberg for his medical bills if he were to get sick?
Some people are acting like they're being forced to donate; if you don't want to donate, then don't. This is a cause, like any other cause where you're being asked to help somebody.
As far as multimillionaire rappers donating money, that's on them. They shouldn't be forced to do anything they don't want to do. Speaking only for myself, if I was a multimillionaire Hip Hop artist, and i still had an appreciation of the culture, i would donate a couple of G's, but that's just me.
If the plane that carried him to America had crashed before he got here there would no hip hop. This man created an entire medium that others improved on but HE founded it. If this was biblical shit he's be God of hip hop, "Let there be light". The Nigg(er) in most of us justifies why we don't owe him anything. Ok, financially no, morally yes. So the least we can do is throw a little something his way. Who ever don't think so f*ck 'em! Hold ya bread. I'm doin me & sendin some bucks to him.
@TheBarryviper I like the sound of that. Scraping up the cash for the flight is less of a problem than the medicla bills themselves. The American structure is so foul it's a shame.
If Kool Herc is so genius, such a legend why couldn't he have been legend enough to pull money out of his creation the way some of his "students" have? Please. They don't owe this man a penny. It would be NICE and wonderful if they decided to help him but they do not owe it to him. If anything it would be over the top in kindness to do so based on principle alone.
@BA0424 You're right, they do not owe him anything. It's the sentiment that everyone is talking about. It would feel right and fitting to help this man out but it is not obligatory nor is someone a horrible person if they don't. Donald Trump and Steve Wynn did not create the selling of real estate. Kool Herc is the Father of the very platform/culture/music called Hip Hop that every artist and non artist associated with it is making money from.
@asdertert12345 I agree with that. I know trump and wynn did not create real estate selling I just used them as examples because they did it to such large degrees
@BA0424 Not just artists, labelsfind artists, show venues that get revenue from sold out hip hop concerts, the musical equipment manufacturers of MPC's turntables SP's, Hip Hop radio stations, magazines, websites...BET Period(lol). The remix culture that Hip Hop birthed which gives artists who's careers were pretty much dead a rebirth (James Brown, George Clinton). I mean he didn't do the hard work for these people, but the very opportunity for these things to be lucrative are because of him
The attitude of people here are ridiculous. Yes the man is sick and we hope he gets better but to assert that any one of the millionaires in hiphop should pay for this mans medical bills is like saying we should all pay bill gates medical bills because he allowed us to use microsoft to get on the internet. Just because bill gates is rich it doesn't make it any different. These rappers do not owe him anything. Help is one thing but he should have had his shit together he's a grown man.
This really is sad news, he paved the way for a thousand DJS and Emcees, lets hope he can pull through it and people in the game rally around to help. I've met Herc and he is one of the coolest, funniest, down to earth guys you could meet.
@Steadno My thoughts exactly, either those millionaire motherfuckers should put their hands in their pockets or get the fuck out the game, they could afford to pay for his entire family's health care and not miss it. They'll spend hundreds of thousands on jewellry (or porn in Kanye west's case )so they should be helping out, without Herc, they would be no-where.
@samhain66 why should the pay the guys medical bills? What do they owe him? They don't owe him anything. What they buy with their money is their business. Do all business men in the world of real estate who studied the success of donald trump or steve wynn owe it to them to pay thier bills if they get sick? That is ridiculous to assert. This "beggar" mentality needs to stop in the black community. The guy is a GROWN man where is his OWN money?
@BA0424 Man you are a fucking fool, I tell you why, because none of them would have a career, ~Trump didn't create real estate so that argument goes nowhere. These artists make such a big deal of back in the day and the Old Skoll, they trade off it so they should " Keep It Real" and give something back instead of selling Hip Hop out to bullshit RnB, you're just a Neocon arsehole, should call yourself Reagan or Bush.
@samhain66 No I'm not a fool. Usually people who "create" things of worth are paid so highly that they don't need to BEG for their medical bills to be paid. i.e. Bill Gates created Microsoft and revenues pour in from the usefulness of his product. It is Kool Herc and Kool Hercs fault alone that he did not pull profit or revenue from "his creation" I'm not an asshole at all I'm just a dude with common sense. No one owes it to him to PAY HIS MEDICAL BILLS.
@samhain66 It's one thing to do it out of kindness, or even publicize his cause would be being kind. You can argue on every ethical, legal and economical plane no matter where you take it. He's not "owed" payment for his medical bills, that wouldn't work in a court of law, and it doesn't break any ground in morality either. 50 Cent is not an asshole because he would rather spend dollars on G-Unity foundation than Kool Herc. Everytime theres a problem people look to these rich celebs to solve it
@samhain66 You should "keep it real" and realize that a mindset like that sets people back. Many of the moguls in hiphop were so driven and so motivated that they would have found another creative outlet to make money. If you become successful should you go back to college,and pay all of your teachers medical bills when they get sick just because you have the money? Is it owed because without them you wouldn't have graduated? Its Kool Hercs fault alone that he chose a career with no med benefits
@samhain66 the general attitude in hip-hop is disgusting. SO WHAT if a musician wants to do R&B because it sells more? You don't pay the bills, You don't keep the lights on, You don't put food in their mouths why should anyone take YOUR advice? It's a career/JOB you move where the money and opportunity takes you balancing your character with your choice. These moguls don't owe you anything, stop expecting them to bail people out with the money they've earned. It's lazy pathetic beggars mindset.
@Steadno Legend or not these rappers don't have to pay his med bills. DO you expect them to pay his rent too? How about his car insurance. Sure it'll be great for him to get better, but if anything his family should be helping him out. Jay-Z Puffy simmons 50 do not owe it to people to bleed their pockets just because they are rich. Thats ridiculous. It's always great to help someone out but these guys don't financially owe this guy
@BA0424 on principle alone wealthy hip hop artists, especially new york hip hop artists should get together with their combined BILLIONS and help the man who essentially launched the art form which gave them the opportunity to get out of the slums and become rich and famous. most within hip hop cultural feel the same i promise.
@Steadno Why must they be wealthy? If kool herc didn't launch it someone else would have. And forget about the man who launched it what about those who commercialized it and made it crossover into bigger markets to allow for profitability? I don't think kool herc gave them the opportunity. A lot of these people were hustlers, they would have found another way to make a living. But woulda, coulda, shoulda is all unknown. On principle alone they don't owe this man one cent.
@BA0424 but at the end of the day it was herc. and sure puffy, jay z, 50 etc might be wealthy from slangin but they would likely be dead or in jail. even simmons who sells clothes and doesnt rap still makes money from hip hop culture. another example is in the martial arts. students are generally required to remember and show respect past generations of teachers.
@ikebetina No but I'm not sending him a penny. It's great that he's deemed the father of hiphop but it doesn't mean I have to pay his medical bills, neither do followers of what he created. They did what he did at a higher level, commercialized it and made money out of it. Good for them. This guy is a grown man, it would be super nice if someone helped him out, but its not expected or owed. Even morally. If you want to look at it morally this guy still shouldnt be first in line for help.
@Steadno Many of them do charity work. On the basis of what you're saying just because they became rich improving on someone elses bluerint they should pay for his medical bills? Then you should pay for the medical bills of your highschool teachers when they get sick. For every right choice you make in life - go back see which one of your teachers, pastors or community leaders is sick. See if you feel justified in paying their med bills just because you "have the money" Get real.
@Steadno Respect is one thing, but respect doesn't have to be done in dollars. 50 cent could upload this message to his thisis50 site to draw attention to it and that would be enough. Or diddy could tweet it. They don't have to dip into their pockets and pay one cent. Not one cent of their money needs to be paid. If I should get sick ever, I'm never going to expect the public to pay my med bills. My family can help me out, and if they can't I'm either dead or very lucky.
@oLeThA1Bo Word is bond! Here we are as regular folk thinking on this while moguls can simply drop some "tax write-off" bread & hook the God of hip hop up!
You would think at least one or two of the rap legends could help even a lil bit.LLCoolJ, Reverend Run, Jay Z, even Russell Simmonds, and P Diddy could each donate $10K for Cool Herc. I would if I were as wealthy as them. I wonder if they even know?

If I should get sick ever, I'm never going to expect the public to pay my med bills. My family can help me out, and if they can't I'm either dead or very lucky.

@oLeThA1Bo Word is bond! Here we are as regular folk thinking on this while moguls can simply drop some "tax write-off" bread & hook the God of hip hop up!
