Do u think Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, or Daz will donate to Somalia?

[BiggBoogaBiff]

I hear they're going to run out of FOOD and other various supplies in 3 weeks OR LESS and due to their currency exchange rate I find it amusing.  I also hear that the youth are being affected the most, literally. 


I don't wanna sound like I'm bitching about rich people or people with more money than the average person becuz they automatically get a bad rep from the jump (and let's face it, with blogs and other sources of mediums u know it's true... word to Kim Kardashian #nofakeshit). 


But i just figured that maybe they would help since they make/made so much money.  I mean i just heard Jay Z made 37million and Diddy made 35million (all after taxes i assume even tho that doesn't really matter in their cases whether it's after or not).  I heard Snoop got on tha list this year too and Daz has been independent for a minute and sued Suge for everything and won so... 


I hope this doesn't sound condecending becuz I'm just not that type of guy and I'm not all in everybody's personal finances like that plus I'm sure they fund other people's lives too in some way so don't get it twisted.  But who knows tho, maybe they take the Northern American Negro state of mind where it's like "fuck Africa I'm not from Africa and nobody gave me shit growing up so fuck Africa even though it's God bless them in real life".  I don't know, I'm just curious.  Does superman reside in the cut and we never knew it this whole time becuz as a black man I honestly find it hard to believe that rich black people don't look out for poorer black people in 1 way or another considering the circumstances and cards we've been delt in life. 


Maybe I'm just that naive, idk but do ya'll think they'll donate?  Shit goes on everyday so in real life this is ordinary but 3 weeks or less tho, idk, that sounds pretty brand new to me and it's not like IT HAS TO happen.  Is this wishful thinking or asking too much?

Basically i'm off some ''well they want us to keep supporting them and their future endevors and thats fine but will they support us?''.  i'm not holding a gun to anybody's head but like i said i do find it interesting, true colors are kinda showing right now.

[BiggBoogaBiff]

and i know Nas is paying out da ass for child support but do u think he'll step up too?  what about Russell Simmons or Rick Ross?

[weedhead]

homie im with u on this topic 210%..amill from every rich person would do just fine...but as long as its blacks starvin..the brain washed blacks,and white folks could give a fuck..
haiti just got forgotten,and the world been shitting on Africa,and robbing them since the beginning..just being real on shit thats all.

[V2DHeart]

The sure thing to work in Africa is contreception, hysterictemy's and the snip.. You see the problem lies in the fact that they breed like rabbits over there. A women who can't feed one kid, has about 5 kids, with 8 of them dying in previous times. What kind of image does that send??? We find food for al of those kids, or do we stop these people from producing more baby's into a life and world of hunger, starvation and pain, and a slow death? That's the reality

As far as these stars go. They don't care... They only care when it's time to promote a new album, or product.. They go out, take a few pictures of them with poor kids, and give a one off donation, and be off back to Hollywood, and ask their circle of 'yes' men how much their rating is set to go up once their trip to Africa airs on TV

Until the people will actually get more than 10% of my donated money, I will not give a dime.

HAVE YOU GIVEN CONTRIBUTION TO ANYTHING??

Here's the reality of it all. If people really want to be problem solvers, stop pointing that finger at millionaires and celebrities and start asking, "What can I do'? Don't expect because people make albums or movies that they are passionate about these causes. Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Diddy, Jay-Z, or any of these other people aren't responsible for feeding the fucking world. If Somalia is your bag, get to donating. I remember Jay's line about Hurricane Katrina where he said he gave X amount of dollars but he didn't give his time so "in reality, he didn't give a DIME or a damn". It's naive to think throwing money at a problem fixes it.

That's what I'm Saying

[Cordozzar Drakko]

Don't always believe the hype!
I seen a report on Somalia & FACT is that they have TONS of food supply rotting away & WHY? Because Somalia has no decent government & suffers civil war ran by Islamic integrists who prevent the organizations to distribute that very food!
1 those same integrists are also the pirates who attack, steal, kill & kidnap tourists & cargos in that area. So sending more millions that will be stolen by that minority of people but who run the area? THANKS BUT NO THANKS!

[Jimmy H.]

And the other reason I don't want to hear about is we can all blame the money people because as poor or even middle-class, we can skapegoat our responsibility by saying, "Well, if I had a million dollars". But here's the crazy thing. You don't need to be rich to impact poor countries or communities. Time is far more valuable than money. If you're all up in arms about these causes, volunteer to go over there and see what the situation is through your own eyes. You don't need Dr. Dre money to do that and it's far more impactful to the problem anyway. With money comes politics. Donating only works if you do your research and know where that money is going. Unless you can honestly tell me you dedicate anywhere near as much or your time, money, and energy toward helping relief situations as you do on rap music then you're a bigger roadblock than these rich rappers you're whining about.

HAVE YOU GIVEN CONTRIBUTION TO ANYTHING??

To a local charity, yes.

[LooN3y]

this has happened through out the past 30 years.



this is nothing new, but gets almost no media coverage for the lack of valuable resources and lack of strategic use.

[Chamillitary Click]

Fuck that. That place is over run by terrible people.

[papa-smurf]

Ethopians.somalian africans don't like black americans.so why should black americans help when its poor black americans that like them that need help.I think we should help people that need but we should take care of our own first
