Kool Herc, 55, is in the hospital but is unable to get assistance. He reportedly does not have health insurance and is also not able to afford medical assistance.
DJ Premier said on his XM Satellite radio show 'Live From Headqcourterz,' "Kool Herc is very sick. For those that know about Hip-Hop, who we call the father of Hip-Hop, Kool Herc, is not doing well. It's funny how we have a father of a culture that still lives, where as in some cultures they are dead and gone even though they may still be worshipped or reflected on in some kind of way. Being as though he is the man that set this whole culture off, y'all should be willing to help any type of way you can."
