KOOL HERC NEEDS YOUR HELP

Latest tweets show that Herc's medical bills might
already be handled..I hope so.

Still sad that such a pioneer of music doesn't have the
means to afford health care and is left to his own
devices to figure it out.

I agree that it might be easy if some of the Hip Hop big ballers (mcees, producers, djays, etc) just throw in some cash and helped a brother out, but in reality it's real proof once again that our government is failing us.

Prayers go out to Kool Herc!

FOWLER MUSEUM PANEL TALK AND RE-CAP

I spoke at the Fowler Museum last Thursday night (Jan.13th) alongside Retna, Aaron Rose, Patrick Polk and it was moderated by Jori Finkel from the LA Times.

The evening was very interesting to say the least.

If you missed the event it is worth checking out the hour long video here:

Speaking with photographer Larry Yust


Saying hello to some fans!

Sidenote..
MOCA Director Jeffrey Deitch was in the crowd that night and walked away seemingly unscathed by any further talk of the controversy he created. No one talked about the Blu elephant in the room!

I think the moderator purposefully avoided the censorship question and not enough questions were allowed during the Q&A, because I definitely spotted some freedom fighters waving their hands in the air trying to get a question in!

Also, I wonder why Deitch didn't introduce himself to me that night?
I've yet to meet him...

Maybe he was too busy trying to find out who passed out these condoms:



I like what these guys are doing, finally some artists using their brains + art to create a voice against censorship in America!
