 Dr. Dre Donates 1 Million Dollars To Victims



One of rap's premier producers is proving his heart is just as big as his wallet by shelling out $1 million toward Hurricane Katrina relief. Dr. Dre donated the money to Houston's Julia C. Hester House, which will distribute the funds to 50 needy families devastated by the disaster. "I wanted to be sure that my donation did two things: went directly into the hands of hurricane victims and that it was an amount that could really impact their lives and make a difference," Dre said.

Dre was I believe the first celebrity to donate 1 million dollars to WTC victims.  Pretty big of him... I still wanna hear his "Bin Ladin Killer" song or whatever, though.

Doesnt' really matter, in my opinion.  All 3 of them have consistantly shown they can be counted on to help whenever people need help.

yea they donated 500k each and that´s funny coz Jay and Puff held a fucking press conference announcing that they were donating 1 million and when you do that it becomes pretty obvious that you´re just looking to cash in on the publicity. and they are always the 2 bragging about how they are ballin out of control and that they are worth hundreds of millions then they donates 500k each.

^I don't think kanye said that to promote his own album. He sounded pretty emotional and by the way he said it, you could tell it wasn't planned. He was mad nervous.

of course i´m happy they donated any money at all but to hold a press conference just to announce how much money you´re giving away is an obvious publicity stunt.
