Hip Hop and the Hurricane
Hip-Hop Reacts and Responds to the Hurricane Katrina disaster.
O-Dub's presents "A Thought on New Orleans and America" - so on-point it hurts.
SOHH's new Hurricane Katrina Crisis blog - "trying to make sense of this crisis from a hip hop p.o.v."
"Why is it that Fidel Castro, dictator of Cuba, has offered to help but it seems President Bush is staggering a few steps behind....?" - a HiphopDx op-ed on the Hurricane Katrina crisis.
Master P's Team Rescue relief charity.
Hip Hop journalist Kevin Powell and special guests present a BENEFIT for New Orleans.
New readers, in case you're wondering, I already mentioned Kanyeezy's Bush bashing on the site previously.
But I leave you with Mannie Fresh feat. Tateeze "Conversation" - because the spirit of fun NOLA (and 'Nolia) embodied will never be drowned in a hurricane. This song, by one of NO's finest, reminded me of that spirit and made me feel better when I saw the video playing at the Herald Sq. Footlocker this afternoon. (via Universal/Motown)
