Hip Hop and the Hurricane II
Click above to help via David Banner's Heal the Hood foundation
Mos Def "Katrina Clap" (mp3 via Spine also available at Hashim's)
Papoose "Mother Nature" - whatever I might think of his lyrical skills, I'll say this about Papoose, he's one of the best conceptualists in the game right now as far his songwriting goes based on stuff I've heard from him recently. (mp3 plays in real player via Hiphopdx.com)
K-Otix: "George Bush Doesn't Care About Black People" (click through to Soul-Sides for the mp3)
Mississippi native David Banner on hurricane Katrina. BTW, his performance of "Cadillac on 22's" on BET's telethon last Friday was pretty incredible. (related: Banner's Heal the Hood hurricane relief charity)
TI & Fat Joe raise over $250,000 for Katrina Victims.
"Hell NO, we Aint Allright" - Chuck D's Hurricane Katrina poem. (Click here to hear him performing it live on his Air America radio show; mp3 link via Spine yet again)
The real "Black CNN" - Davey D collects testimonials of NOLA residents and news clips and sets them to music. (mp3 link via Spine)
KRS-One weighs in on the Hurricane Katrina Situation.
Jeff Chang says "Support NOLA Community Organizers And Musicians"
More links via Jay (some of the above links are repeated)
And even more via Catchdubs. (ditto on the possible link repeatage)
And finally, not strictly hip hop but beat diggers and real heads know the deal - soothe your soul with some mp3's by NOLA artists courtesy Can I Bring My Gat?
