[News] DJ Kool Herc Needs Help with his Medical Bills!
Via the UK’s Guardian:
“DJ Kool Herc, one of the founding fathers of hip-hop, is allegedly “very sick” and cannot afford hospital treatment. The man who invented breakbeats is without health insurance and needs help, his friends say, to pay for surgery.
“[He] who we call the father of hip-hop, Kool Herc, is not doing well,” DJ Premier revealed on his Sirius XM radio show this weekend. “Since he’s very sick and has no insurance … [he] needs to pay his bills so he can get out of hospital.”
Kool Herc, real name Clive Campbell, was an integral figure in early hip-hop, developing DJ techniques and encouraging breakdance culture. But although he was a major influence on artists such as Grandmaster Flash and Afrika Bambaataa, Kool Herc was a DJ, not a record producer, and did not score any hits. Consequently, Premier said, the 55-year-old cannot afford surgery.
DJ Kool Herc’s condition has not been disclosed.”

This is crazy! I wouldn’t have had a career doing what I did if it wasn’t for this guy! In fact, If, anyone who made a living in the hip hop game over the past couple decades, would never have been able to do that had it not been for the creative genius and innovations of Clive ‘Kool Herc’ Campbell.
Donations for Kool Herc can be sent to: Kool Herc Production, P.O. Box 20472, Huntington Station, NY 11746.
[UPDATE (2/1): dude had kidney stones??! I mean not to downplay that because I’ve actually had them too and even minor incidents can be painful like a muh-f-kcer, but I kind of feel like dupe for even having done this post now…]
