KOOL HERC FUNDRAISER AT SUTRA NYC 2/1/11
From: Amora Inc.
We caught wind of DJ Kool Herc’s current condition through outlets like DJ Premier’s blog, and AllHipHop.com, and wanted to make sure our audience was aware of this situation. Kool Herc, widely regarded as one of the founding fathers of hip hop music, is ill, having been in and out of the hospital, and requires costly surgery, facing financial difficulty making it difficult to acquire the care he needs.
Several outlets have written about and are discussing Kool Herc’s predicament, commenting on his particular issues, as well as the greater issues of the lack of health care options for musicians, as well as a lack of corporate support for pioneering hip hoppers, many of whom have helped make such corporations many millions of dollars over the years.
We’ll ask our readers to read and contribute their comments on those respective sites, as well as notify you about a fundraiser in the works scheduled for Tuesday, Feb. 1 at Sutra in NYC (as per Davey D). Details to follow.
Donations are being collected as well, and can be sent to a mailing address or by PayPal, listed below. Details on the event will be posted as they solidify.
Please take some time to look into this issue, and if you are so inclined, donate. While this sort of thing happens to many “regular people” on a daily basis, and many of us are walking around with no insurance ourselves, there is no denying the impact that Kool Herc had on our lives as hip hoppers, and I’m sure that every penny counts.
You can send donations to:

His sister is taking care of everything. Press release is coming later today. He’s now home ok, but he’s in need of surgery which you can help him pay it. I’ll post if there are any more updates. Hip Hop is so beautiful… Thanks to everyone for the love… Kool Herc is a trending topic!

The lawsuit also accuses Diddy, who raked in $30 million dollars in 2010, of stealing the woman's "chip" at a Casino in Mississippi.
“Plus I won a lot of money at the casino in Mississippi and Sean P. Diddy Combs has my chip to my money. I heard he gave it to Gwen Allen to hold but she can not cash it in," Turks complained. "I want my chip please help me. it's well worth over 100 zillions of dollars, and my hospital keys. They put me and my baby in the hospital and broke my baby 2 legs and sexual assaulted my children and crushed us."
The woman seeks $900 billion dollars in child support and $100 billion dollars for loss of income.
A hearing date has been set for Monday, January 31st.

New WorldStar Update: Back Up & Running, Shut Down Because Of Copyright Claim
UPDATE: 50 DIDNT SHUT DOWN WORLDSTAR! BUT YAHOO MIGHT HAVE!
From: Miss Info
Audio: 50 Cent talks to Angie Martinez, Hot97….about the current site problems of Worldstar Hip Hop, and admits that contrary to his twitter-boasts, he didn’t actually shut down WSHH. But he does explain the tension between him and Worldstar is caused by an ongoing lawsuit. Fif says WSHH used his likeness on their site banner without permission and he thinks they promote negativity….which he says he’s no longer a fan of.
UPDATE: Q the owner of Worldstar also called in to respond to 50 Cent, and told Angie that the site’s problem has nothing to do with 50 Cent, the ongoing lawsuit, or therecent ICE takedowns of blogs. It’s a problem with his server. (now according to others, the problem may be a “level-5 take down” by Yahoo. As in, a complaint fromsomeone to Yahoo about a copyright infringement that then resulted in a freeze. *shrug*) Either way, it should have been apparent that this was not the same as the previous ICE seizures, because going to WSHH did not redirect you to a sign from the Federal government.
(thanks to DJ Juanyto/Hot97 for the speedy audio)
Doing our research here at BYC Promo, we see that WorldStar has a lock on the webiste....

50 Cent Shuts Down WorldStarHipHop.Com
Rapper 50 Cent sent a tweet out to his 3,888,543 million followers and took credit for shutting down popular urban website, WorldstarHipHop.com.
The site went down without warning earlier today (January 24th).
Just moments ago, 50
"I don't know why people underestimate me. I just shut down WORLDSTAR for future advertising contact thisis50.com suckers lol," 50 Cent tweeted. "I put worldstar to bed, you don't believe try me I will shut your sh*t down. Lol."
In November of 2009, 50 Cent filed a lawsuit against the website, claiming his image and content was used on the website without permission.
“I have lawyers on retainers and I have to pay them so much money anyway, so we’ll go back and forth to court until (they) can’t afford a Subway sandwich,” 50 Cent said in 2009. “It’s already too late for (them).”
Reps for WorldStarHipHop.com have not responded to a request for a statement as of press time.
50 issued an ominous prediction that may come true this week.
"I predict 2 more web sites will shut down this week. Take a guess who they are. I'm sick of the hate I'm to strong," 50 Cent tweeted.
