Rakim, Lupe Fiasco and Common To Save Some Rhinos

I never met a rhinoceros I didn't like. Actually I've never met a rhinoceros, but I'm all for saving them and apparently so is Marc Ecko. Confused? Just walk with me for a minute.

On June 8th Rakim, Common, Rhymefest and Lupe Fiasco (who by the way, recently sat down with SOHH to talk about the early leak of his debut album Food and Liquor) will be appearing at the second annual Marc Ecko presents Save The Rhinos benefit concert in Central Park. Don't ask me what, but apparently these big ugly beasts need saving from something, and if that means bringing dope M.C.'s together for a live show, then I'm all for it.

Of course Marc Ecko, who recently filed a free speech lawsuit against the City of New York and tagged up on Air Force One, is the founder of the Ecko Unltd. apparel company and their logo includes an image of a rhino. I guess this is his way of giving back to hood herd.

Tickets for the event are now available at Ticketmaster, although I have to warn you, they're kind of on the expensive side ($36-$40). But it is for a good cause so you know, you should try to come out of your pockets if you can. If that's a little out of your price range, then you can always hold out for the Brooklyn Hip Hop Festival which is going down on June 24th, will also feature Lupe, Rhymefest and the legendary Big Daddy Kane, and is 100% free.

For more info or to register for your FREE tickets for the Festival go to BrooklynBodega.com.

Save the rhinos!!!

R u serious???
With the money mark ecko makes off the Black community, how about putting 2gether a benefit 2:
* SAVE art & music programs in public schools
*SAVE afterschool programs 2 SAVE all of these Black boys dieing senseless deaths in the streets every day

The list can go on...
It just amazes me (well not really because it's 2 be expected) how fascinated whites get over saving mammals and reptiles but
trey songz can't drive his damn car in Atlanta!

Recently, they spent about 4 days trying 2 save a cat that got stuck in a wall. Some white lady was even reading to the cat 4 entertainment!

I don't have anything against animals but I don't give a damn about saving a rhino or mark ecko. Moreover, I plan to write his company 2 c what else have they selected 2 try & help or save.

Let's take more responsibility 4 ourselves Black People...
Increase the Peace and
Put the guns and knives away!

Ya'll are Dumb as shit.
The concert is not really about rhino's you idiots. It's a play on the Hollywood culture of being so pro save the world.
It has nothing to do with Rhino's dummy.
It's just a way to get N.Y. to let him throw the concert.

I thought ya'll were smarter than this.

Exactly essex. And even if it was about Rhinos, aint nothing wrong with helping a lil animal now and then...while enjoying some great hip hop at the same time. Damn Black people are so damn cheap and selfish, they act like its a taboo to want to help a animal. If you want people to "help the hood", it starts with "you"

Imagine a rap song about Rhinos...lol.

THE TRUTH IS BACK!!!!!!!!!!! Stealth self promotion show some luv to a DC nigga www.myspace.com/stealth99

I could give a fuck less about Rhinos or Marc Ecko.

Just imagine if Lupe, Rakim, and Common did a song together. That's what I thought this blog was about.

Get the fuck out of here. Benefit concerts are usually free and the people who attend them usually donate what every dollar amount they can. $36-$40 to see a bullshit ass show? Who the hell wants to see Rhymefest? Not me.

Im a PETA member, so ill help out rhinos through another organization. Not one associated with Mark Ecko.

myspace.com/idubya11

Come on guys! LETS SAVE SOME RHINOS!

I doon't know what ya'll where up north but do anybody still wear Ecko?I'm not being sarcastic I'm for real,ya'll still wear that?

Fu*ck A RHINO HOW ABOUT THE BLACK AND LATINO YOUTH WHO HAVE HELP MAKE HIM A VERY WEALTHY MAN AND ARE DYING AND ENDED UP IN JAIL.BECAUSE THEY SEE NO WAY OUT OF THE REAL JUNGLE .WE HIM AND ALL THOSE WHO HAVE MADE IT TO TEACH THE YOUTH HOW TO GET OUT OF THE JUNGLE (HOOD).PLEASE REMBEMER EACH ONE TEACH ONE.EDUCATE YOUR MIND AND YOUR A** WILL FOLLOW.

ONE LOVE TOO ALL THE ANIMALS IN THE JUNGLE .

Ya'll are Dumb as shit.

STOP BEING ZOMBIES !!! WAKE THE FUCK UP !!!

YO ESSEX'S MUSIC IS GAY

J.A. DONT LIKE GAY NO

I think this is a ridiculous conversation. WE as black folks are always shouting about "what about the black community?" I would think that WE wouldn't be so apathetic towards the suffering of others but we're so focused on our own struggle that we can't GROW as a community. And half of the people complaining about what other people choose to commit their time to, aren't doin' sh*t for the community. We floss the furs and skins of other LIVING BEINGS and we cry "what about us?" Stand up... stop b*tchin... get it together. If someone wants to save Rhinos from ignorant people who have the mentality that they are superior and can do with animals as they like, more power to them. Who the hell are you saving?

You people have no lives. You're still focused on black and white people being different. What's wrong with you? Different colours don't matter. And some people really love the rhinos and are actually holding this concert to save them. Hello? Can't you just live with it? Some people are animal lovers. Concerts are just on of the ways they use to raise funds for these creatures. Why not just accept it? AND eachother. What's wrong with black americans? What's wrong with white Americans? EW!! Why don't you just QUIT IT!!!! Stop classifying eachother learn to live in PEACE!

I agree with anonomous here. Rhinos are special to many people and they will use tons of creative and different ways to save them. Also, I think you two groups should just get along. You're driving me crazy!!

OK STOP THE BULSHIT

I WENT TO THE CONCERT
AND IT WAS TIGHT

I EVEN MET RAKIM AND COMMON
that was the shit


MARK IS GONNA GIVE the money to rhinos (of course, just google 'save the rhinos') BUT that concert there...............was for hiphop

WHEN ELSE CAN YOU SEE RAKIM, and COMMON on the same stage?

I can't be bothered with anything these days. I guess it doesn't bother me. What can I say?

Power to the people is, is not a good idea

I haven't gotten much done recently. I don't care. My life's been basically boring these days. Whatever. More or less nothing exciting going on lately, but pfft.
