Marc Ecko & Common

Marc Ecko hosted the “Marc Ecko’s Save the Rhinos 2nd annual Benefit Concert,” featuring Common, Rakim, Lupe Fiasco, DJ Z-Trip, Rhymefest, DJ Kid Capri and more, yesterday in NYC.

Proceeds from the event will go to the International Rhino Foundation as part of Ecko’s and the foundation’s drive to double the populations of the Indian, Black and Sumatran rhinos, three of the planet’s most endangered species, according to an Ecko press release. A baby Indian rhino born at the San Diego Zoo in January 2005 was named Ecko to recognize the designer’s support for the species. (read more about the event)

There are a bunch of problems in the world. Poverty, Aids, Wars, Terrorism, Global Warming, Destruction of the Rainforest, The Ozone, Endangered Species…. I could go on and on. NO ONE can fix ALL the problems on their own. Which is why most people dedicate themselves to one charity OR cause. Why talk shit because something is important to someone. AT LEAST THEY ARE DOOOOING SOMETHING ABOUT WHAT MOVES THEM!! It’s important to save endanged species. How fucked up would it be IF in 50 years our grandkids would have to search for a PICTURE of a rhino cause they don’t EXIST ANYMORE!! Kuddos to Marc for doing something for what’s important to him.

He don’t give a fuck about no damn rhinos, it’s a publicity stunt b/c he use the rhino as the emblem of his company…just like that bullshit with the graffiti. He’s an attention grabber.

[...] Ballerstatus and my alma mater have run downs (pay close attention to Rhymefest’s comments on snap music - I told you it wasn’t just New Yorkers complaining) and Concrete Loop has some more pics.   [...]

‘Save The Rhinos’??? That sounds like I should be sitting here waiting for the joke and I’m kinda pissed that there isn’t one…keep it moving w/ that Marc Ecko worrying about the environment/endangered species crap…it’s all publicity, baby…if he was really civic-minded, I could think of thousands of great causes dealing with HUMANS he could have contributed to…not impressed, Marc

People stay complaing about something positive. The man doesn’t have to help ‘humans’ if he doesn’t want to, damn!

Do you donate money to anything? I doubt it.

Angel,you’re right; he doesn’t have to help humans if he doesn’t want to—I just think that would be worthy of a tad bit more applause then endangered animals. But hell, I don’t want the rhinos to die!! I just choose to help humans and I do donate money and time to causes helping humans…I’ve even organized a few…

@ AaliyahsBabyDaddy

I think Dre messed up any comeback Rakim would have had. Since the deal fell through with Aftermath, that was the last of anything I’ve heard of him comming back. It still hurts to say that Dr. Dre and Rakim couldn’t make it work. That had the potential to be the best album EVER! I think Dre took it upon himself to be so critical of his controbution, that he was too specific on how he wanted to album to sound. Cuz you know the GOD was bringing his “A” game.

# 10 girl/ boy stop. I do donate money, clothes, time whateva for my community. My best friend is from West Africa, Sierra Leone, and ever since the diamond trade/ black market has taken over her country, it has been in civil war. Her family and village is left with nothing. So together we send anything we can. So please don’t get me started and the only reason ECKO is concerned is because he uses rhinos as his trademark. That’s the problem today, You all to busy kissin ass to see what’s really going on .

#12 boo I can’t take you serious either, what if your family was left with nothing and people were sending money to animals.

I’ve got a hint for you, “The world will not be around for another 50 Years, so you won’t have to worry about grandkids or rhinos” I just can’t take you serious.

GET REAL PEOPLE, THat’s the problem with the masses nobody wants to deal with the TRUTH

DUMB ASSes once again- F*ck THEM RHINOS!

RAP for those RHINOS people!!! THE WORLD NEEDS RHINOS!

*(remember FREDDY “CREE SUMMER” from A DIFFERENT WORLD?…LOL..she was always saving the world..she was a modern day HIPPY on that show-for real)

I WISH I COULD HAVE ATTENDED THIS CONCERT–I LIKE “COMMON” & “RAKIM”…”HE AINT NO JOKE”- is a RAP/HIP-HOP LEGEND!!

I’m a vegetarian going on vegan, so animal lovers are sexy. (Mark Ecko: call me) I love people too, but Angelina Jolie and Bono are already saving people. The man needed his own cause.

Personally though, I’d save a beautiful animal like tigers or jaguars or dolphins or gazelles. I guess someone has to take care of the ugly animals.
