WTF - This has never happened before...
I've been informed by the powers that be that RUSSELL SIMMONS IS NOT affiliated with HoodAThon. I should have figured that out when it wasn't called Russell Simmons Presents Def Rescue Jam. Let's keep in mind that I wrote my piece based soley on information that I received. Had they not RUSHed out this information I could have saved my hatred for RusSell-Out Simmons for another day.
Simmons, know that I've got my eye on you - and my other eye your wife, The Lovely Kimora Lee-Simmons.
Shout out to JLM. Yea, I wrote some "really nasty stuff about Russell" but hey, that nigga pays your light bill, not mine. LHIOB. 
So, now Russell Simmons a.k.a. The Vegan Who Sells Leather Goods, is rallying New Yorkers to donate supplies at The HoodAthon in Queens.
HoodAThon? I'm shocked he didn't call it "Russell Simmons Presents Def Rescue Jam". Normally he tacks his name onto his project of the month to show The Lovely Kimora Lee that he's still out there making moves - as feeble as they may be.
Anyway, Russell wants "the people" to bring stuff like water, can openers, clothing, flashlights, towels, blankets, toys for kids and backpacks. [Judging from the list I'd assume he's taking all the victums on a camping trip.] But then something odd caught my eye...
Simmons is also asking that residents donate money as they need to pay $14,000 for the four trucks and four drivers that will deliver the supplies directly to Houston and Mississippi.
If "the people" are bringing the water, the can openers, the clothes, the flashlights, the toys, the backpacks and chipping in for the trucks, then what the hell fuck is Russell bringing to the table? [Maybe he'll bring The Lovely Kimora Lee-Simmons!]
NEGRO PLEASE!
If this nig don't have $14,000 for the transporation, then maybe he shouldn't be trying to have his own fund raising efforts. I mean, can't Russell come up off some Phat Farm gear for the kids? Give away those Run Athletics Sneakers. Ain't no one buying 'em.
Fat Joe put $25,000 on it. T.I. put $50,000 on it. Ludacris put $100,000 down. Diddy and Jigga put a million on it plus they giving away Rocawear and Sean John outfits. I'm not trying to count Russell's money, but with Defcon3, The Rush Card, Rush Mobile, Def Jam Mobile* and all the other ventures he's a part of, he should be able to hustle up some money. Maybe he should ask The Lovely Kimora for a Pay Day Loan. I mean Kimora did say in an interview:
"I don't need the money. I'm filthy fucking rich!" - Vanity Fair April 2005
Someone put this old man out to pasture. He's done.
* I tried to link to Def Jam Mobile.com, but it looks like the site is down. Another failuring multimedia venture, eh Russ?
HOOD-A-THON? WTF!?!?
I know some older cats want to stay in touch with the youth, but what the fuck is a HOODATHON? This is as ignorant a term as calling the people of this tragedy REFUGEES. $14,000.00 is chump change to this man and his wife, plus it would be a tax write-off anyway.
A damn shame. I'm doing me so far I donated 593.21 dollars and when I get this new deal I'll donater about 5000.00 dollars. I do not see any of these blame/game politicians going to their own bank account and donating all they do is blame. Russell is an ass, I hope I do not be like him when I get money like him. i think Kayne West needs to shut up and pay up stop this blaming this and that, It was the Louisiana Evacuation FEMA department that did not respond, the Red Cross was waiting to go over to New Orleans when the leeves broke, but the Govenor said no and she needed some time to think about the situation, so the mayor had to compromise and do what he could. So I don't thing Bush was to blame more like Louisiana was highly disorganized for years I know this for a fact because I live in Louisiana. It's silly that the Gov and the Mayor are in odds of orders. New Orleans need a new leader to run the show. Lets help these people and then we can play the blame game.
PEACE
Your comment on Russell and the 14 grand was way off base. If you had your facts right you would no that he donated 1 mil off top of his on money. Now he is just trying to get our own to support our own. I agree that the title is ignorant as can be! Who the fuck came up with that shit! Oh yeah fuck Bush and the Mayor and Governor of New Orleans and Lousiana!
Everybody talkin all this shit about why Jay only donate this much and why russell only did this but the fact is they donated(and yes i'm sure they could've gave more). Now what I want to know is where the F**k is "The Queen of Black and White America" Oprah's donation (correct me if i'm wrong). B***h can give away cars on her show but she can't donate to people in need
OreoHaters, maybe you should have watched the Oprah show on Tuesday and Wednesday. Then your no-tv-having-ass would know what Oprah put $5 on.
14,000?
AYE RUSS... Maybe you should sell one of the bars of soap you have inside that $324,363,452,34.99 house you got... you know the one wit gold plated ceilings and whatnot that we say on Cribs...
hater.

"If you had your facts right you would no that he donated 1 mil off top of his on money."
Um what press release did you read that in? Provide a link.
Fuck that shit...
"Devils Son", I blaim the shit out of Bush and the system as a whole because it was Bush (and his father) that help fuck up the economy in the first place, maybe the money would have been there to fix those leeves if the government wasn't spending billions of dollars to fight a silly ass war. I mean what the hell our troops are over there for anyway? What... to help give the iraqi people "FREEDOM"? That's a joke unto itself!!
What the fuck are you thinking. I tell you... some people can be so fuckin' blind that it'd beyond a shame!
You are so right
Everyone should realize how much Shaq does, he's thge riches down to earth person there is. He gives back he build communitys up, he gives toys away on christmas, the dude does alot, and he has his master degree working on being doctor shaq, whith more then 200 million in his account, but this dude went down to New Orleans like a MAN money not everything but man power is and everyman should find a way to get down there and lift something, clean something up, grab a bucket and getthe water up. Stop being Pussy and be a man, my plane trip is in 2 weeks, I hope to become the Man my Father taught me to be. I challenge a million man march to go down to MISS and get to helping, Fuck joining an army, lets be men and do what we got to do.. Shout outs to Shaq, Jigga, Diddy, Opra and all our super stars who's helping, even the white ones lets not forget their helping to,...

ILOVE THEM BUT FUCK JORDENS sneakers lets boycott BET, NIKE, and JORDEN

I'm already ahead of yall fuck Jorden he know where to be found, fuck all his clothes and sneakers, and fuck Bet

now that's community spirit.
Cutty Ranks, I believe Bush is to blame in due to the fund cutting for the leeve I know because I'm from Louisiana. But there are more people to blame as well, understand that this was a force of nature, if the leeve's were in tip top condition it still would had broken. This was GOD's wrath it was a stage of cleasning, the only way you survive is to get out of the way. But right now is not the time to blame, time to help. Cutty, I probably much older than you are and been through more shit than you. I'm not blind, I'm looking at both sides of the picture, if you always look at one side of the picture then you are an igronant person. Better yet just shut the fuck up and donate, quit protesting. Grow up kids, these good Americans need our help and quit all this god-damn burerarcry. Quit the blame game you fucking assclown. Get your ass up and help out BITCH.
Cutty Ranks is a joke, only thing you're cutting is wind. And the rest who have an issue with me, donate first then we can talk BITCHES. GROW UP, be a man or a woman. Fisher Price talking BITCH
Do you remember my Rev 1 sneaker? Remember that proceeds was to go to charity. Well, the promotion worked. I sold lots of Rev 1 sneakers but the proceeds actually went into marking the sneakers. I had to pay actors (my brother Rev Run)as well as billboards and tv commercials. Not to mention I gave away sneaker to rich famous people to wear as advertisment. I'm a marketing genious! Rus-Sells Simmons!
Lets not forget my clothing line. I created Phat Farm for the poor inner city kids that can't afford Tommy Hilfiger and Polo, even though I charge more than inner city poor kids can afford.
I'm a marketing genious!
WHY HAS NO ONE IN THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA QUESTIONED BUSH ON WHY HE CUT THE FUNDS FOR THE LEVEES. IS IT BECAUSE THEY ARE PUPPETS FOR THE SUPER RICH OR ARE THEY JUST SCARED THAT THEIR BOSSES WILL FIRE THEM FOR QUESTIONING THE MAN "GOD" MADE PRESIDENT OF THIS COUNTRY. AND OUT OF ALL THESE PEOPLE WHO ARE WELL OFF AND MAKE THEIR MONEY OFF OF THE LITTLE GUY WHY HAS SO FEW STOOD UP AND QUESTIONED THIS GOVERNMENT. AND NOW IS THE BEST TIME TO DO SO WHEN ITS FRESH IN OUR COLLECTIVE MIND. PLEASE SOMEBODY STAND UP AND DO SOMETHING. ITS REDICULOUS THAT SOMETHING LIKE THIS CAN HAPPEN AND NO ONE OTHER THAN THE VICTOMS CARES ABOUT BEING LEFT OUT TO DRY. WITH OUT ENOUGH PROTECTION FOR AN ENTIRE CITY. NOW THAT IS THE TRUE SHAME. BUT THEN AGAIN THEY PROBABLY HAVE A PLAN OF HAVING THE RENTS RAISED ONCE THE CITY IS REBUILT. AND THEN THEY WILL OUTCAST THE POOR PEOPLE FROM THE CITY THEY ONCE CALLED HOME. THE FAMOUS PEOPLE OF THIS COUNTRY SHOULD NOT BE HELD LIABLE FOR THE PEOPLE THE GOVERMENT THAT CUT FUNDING FOR LEVEES SHOULD BE. THEY ARE THE FIRST TO TALK ABOUT HOW THEY DID SOMETHING GOOD BUT WHEN SOMETHING GOES WRONG THEY HAVE NO ANSWERS. AND HAS ANYONE NOTICED THAT ALL THE MAJOR NEWS SOURCES ARE SAYING THE SAME THING. WAKE UP PEOPLE FUCK A CONSPIROUSY THEORY THIS IS A FACT. STOP BEING SCARED OF THE TRUTH. YOUR GOVERNMENT DOSNT CARE ABOUT YOU. SO STOP CAREING ABOUT HOW THEY FEEL AND GET TO THE HEART OF THE MATTER. PEOPLE DIED IN A DISASTER THAT COULD HAVE BEEN DIFFERENT IF THINGS WERE PROPERLY TAKEN CARE OF. BUT THEY WERE NOT SO START ASKING QUESTIONS AND STOP MAKING EXCUSES.
Well, I think Bush has fucked up America, but you can't blame a natural disaster on any human. Yes, he couldv'e moved his ass on helping the unfortunate victoms of Katrina, and yes... he need his ass stomped for that shit.
Now, in regards to all this, "who gave what, who did what?". Well, most of the mofoz complaing, ain't done a damn thang themselves, but bitch, about how somebody is spending their own hard earned cheese. 4 sho, it would be wonderful if all celebrities of all cultures as well as the big ballas, and playas, would pitch in on the efforts. But of course, it's not a requirement!
I guess what I'm saying is that, until you've got off yo own ass, or dug down in your own pockets to help out, you should even fix yo mf mouths to say shit about what somebody else is doing. At least they are doing something. The question should be... "What the fuck are U doing, while you sttting in front of your computer or Television making useless comments.
And, quit hatin' on mf's that got shit, cause yo asses is broke! They've paid their dues to be where they are. Why do you feel they have to keep paying dues. That would signify that their accomplishments, and hard work didn't mean shit. And I sure, some of you would like to believe that it didn't mean shit, cause you ain't got shit.
Now, for those whom this apply (you know who you are), take that shit to the bank!
Peace out!

I fuckin' hate Kimora Lee Simmons. If it wasn't for Russell's dumb ass, she wouldn't have shit. She's damn ugly and got a nasty attitude as well. Without Russell, she'd be another video hoe.
