Earlier this week, we reported founding father of the hip-hop culture, Kool Herc being hospitalized and struggling to meet medical cost. Currently, recovering from complications from kidney stones, he released a statement via MTV
?We live in one of the superpowers of the world!? Herc said in a statement to MTV News on Tuesday (February 1). ? ?Give me your tired, your poor ? ? and then you don?t take care of them? There should be no weak ants in the colony. There shouldn?t be anyone fighting for health care! This has been going on too damn long! We fought for 1520 Sedgwick to get landmark status, and in 2007, New York State officially recognized it as the ?Birthplace of Hip Hop.? Now we are fighting for health care not just for me, but for everyone. I see this situation as another quest for me to shine light on a sensitive issue for the community. I?m an instrument of God. I?m here for a purpose and I want to be here for the solution.?[/p] Related posts Hip-Hop's Founding Father Kool Herc Is Hospitalized (January 30, 2011)">Hip-Hop's Founding Father Kool Herc Is Hospitalized (0)
