Rap Sheet: Observer Gives DJ Kool Herc A Bad Name

  • Mistaken identity: Despite what many blogs reported yesterday, DJ Kool Herc ain’t suing Jay-Z for $5 billion over slave reparations and the defilement of downtown Brooklyn for a new stadium. However, someone with the same real name as Herc, a one Clive Campbell is.
  • Do-gooder: See rap ain’t all evil. Young Jeezy announced a winner of his “MakeYour Dreams Come True” contest. The contest—coinciding with the release of his album—will give a 13 year-old with cerebral palsy a special wheelchair-accessible van and treat the whole fam to diner at Justin’s in Atlanta.
  • Liquidity: Despite Dr. Dre’s forthcoming album being called “Detox,” the Hip Hop producer-mogul is getting into the beverage game with Drinks American Holdings Inc. There’s a cognac in the words followed by a new vodka.
  • Courting: Lil Wanye does a concert in NJ, then goes to court in NYC, pleads not guilty for his weapons charges. He even asked concertgoers for some luck, “I would love for you to put me in your prayers tonight; I got court in the morning.”
