Breaking News Hot 97 Fires Paddy Duke Who Was Part of Mob That Killed Yusuf Hawkins

From what I've been seeing online, hot97 wasn't always the station you know them as today

i.e. it wasn't always hip hop 24/7. @Chicity hit the nail on the head about the day and age of information. It's also my understanding dude didn't just start out at the top. He was probably a grunt worker and they didn't bother to do a thorough background check back then. He's also not black so, you see where I'm going with this.

It's ok to be upset and angry, but let's make sure we're directing that to the people who actually had the power to hire him. Don't assume everyone knew about it and then didn't say anything. It's no secret I can't stand Ebro, but according to what I've read, he wasn't even there and it would be a cool ten year gap until Ebro got hired or something so I'm not gonna blame him for knowing when there's no way he could've.

I generally don't like Italians (few are cool but a lot of them are racist as fuck). I remember as a kid when we first moved to Scarborough we were the first black family on the block they started to move out. One of the families stayed (probably couldn't move away). The kids were cool and so was the mother and grandmother but the father was racist as fuck. I couldn't be around when he was home. The funny thing were his kids were the fucking troublemakers.

That don't mean she was connected to it. She is Puerto Rican so she might have been a target too.

But if she knew.....She gotta go too. Hope she rehabbing good.

I see where your going.

We all did some shit.....Not as serious as murder but we did some shit. That doesn't invalidate how the other person may feel and may want you fired from your job after 18yrs.

Fair or nah?

We all know killers...Do we tell to get them convicted? Are we withholding info?

This can be kinda dangerous and can backfire.

For the most part.

We done some dumb shit in out lives and for the most part nobody knows what we did and I'm cool with that. In this case this jackass did something what he did nobody knows for sure but he did play some part in brother Yusef situation.

Seems like dude changed his life around and somebody (Hot 97) took a chance on him. Shit I pray that happens to all people coming out of prison so that's why I'm not all gung-ho and bashing dude.
