Joell Ortiz v. Gentrification

SLAUGHTERHOUSE!



Joell Ortiz saw gentrification engulf Greenpoint from the vantage of the Cooper Park housing projects. As the new millennium began, the 31-year-old rapper noticed the first changes sprouting up with "a little condominium here, a loft setup there." Before the influx of high-income housing, his section of Brooklyn suffered from a domino-effect blight: "My area was really drug-infested 'cause across from us was a shelter with a lot of drug addicts—the drugs bring the money, and the money leads to violence." But not these days. "Now, it's ridiculous. They brought in the hipsters, brought in the yuppies, and built up the big condos that no one in my 'hood can afford."

Hip Hop Helps Haiti

Hip Hop has responded. Too many tribute songs, benefits and donations to name -- and I'm NOT complaining... Enough has been written about the amazing results of the Hope For Haiti Now benefit organized by actor George Clooney, so I will focus on some of the more obscure efforts:

I. "Hip Hop Helps Haiti" - hosted by The Aphilliates' DJ Ace McClowd; organized and sponsored by HipHopDX

II. Duck Down Records iTunes Sales Donated to Yele for the Haiti Relief Effort

III. Joell Ortiz - "Exhibit H(aiti)"

Props to 2DopeBoyz for covering it all in real time.

To donate, SMS text "HAITI" to 90999 to donate $10 to Red Cross relief efforts; SMS text "YELE" to 501501 to Donate $5 to Yele Haiti's Earthquake Relief efforts.
