FIRED -Damn so Paddy Duke from Hot 97 is really Pasquale Raucci dude who help kill Yusuf Hawkins

[QU Hectic]

SMFH. I should have know better than to give this a play. A couple minutes in I had to end up turning it off. These 2 cac’s using Simpson sound bytes to describe they’re reaction of finding out about paddy guido in the Documentary.
Hot 97 needs to be over. We need a revamp of Kiss FM. We get the classic soul and r&b , as well as the week in review that used to come on Sunday nights at 10. Charles Ethridge III has so much smoke for cac’s he could be considers the ideal coli posters.it was a thing of beauty

 

[Apollo Kid]

A whole lotta

So Ebro knew years ago? SMH

 

[Stick Up Kid]

That's what I'm saying there should be hundreds of Black Men and Women at the station right now outside, bringing light to this, demand answers and let all their sponsors we boycotting not only the station but every company that sponsors them

yeah because black folks don’t got other issues to attend to

like employment, healthcare, pandemic, police brutality,

you really are a clown bruh

 

[WSFGDan]

so he just admitted he knew paddy Duke was involved 18 years ago

 

[Jean toomer]

If y’all don’t think Rosenberg and Ebro knew this, you’re fooling yourselves. WS stick together

Ebro said Duke told him he was swept up in the case 10 years ago, got a misdemeanor, and his record expunged. Why would he feel the need to do that? The video posted is pure corporate speak, deflection, denial, and forgiveness. Absolutely no corporate accountability.

Kiss died a horrible death so all we got left is WBLS. And their programming is good. They curate Soul and R & B to perfection and DJ Bedrock, Red Alert and especially DJ Scratch do Hip Hop justice. Their artist spotlight is dope as well where they play and talk about 1 artist for a couple hours on Friday night. That's the station that respects Black culture and has I think exclusively Black voices/DJs.

So Ebro says he basically knew

and that patty mentioned it to him 10 years ago

but then says he was shocked when he saw the documentary

huh?

Really?!

I'm at work can't watch

There was a guy at my job I used to see every week, dap him up, converse briefly, and years later I found out he was one of the Central Park 5. No one knew. Point is you meet your coworkers on a clean slate. You don't know people's backgrounds so I can see how people wouldn't know. Know one's doing their own background checks.

Respectfully, just because you didn’t know doesn’t mean someone higher up on the food chain didn’t know. Somebody always knows.

In this particular situation an ex employee of emmis/hot97 admitted she knew.. she found out a few years after working there, and only when Paddy became her direct supervisor. That in itself is very telling that information like this was so freely given to a subordinate.

"Swept up in it" ...not even sure how you let him get that off tbh.

So yall telling me Funk Flex's emails say "Funkmaster Flex"? lol like Flex, Funkmaster? They making this worse.

 

[Waterproof]

You're welcome to project manager that chief.
Maybe you can telemarket and round up the hundreds, I'll write the telephone pitch,
" Not giving a fukk about your job, family or free time recently? I've got the remedy, join me and hundreds of other Black men to protest outside a radio station because they had a racist on the payroll just like every other company in the country. They did fire him, but not good enough. We need to bring this station down as well as their advertisers!"

This bytch got a stench of a rat

 

[AnonymityX1000]

You know what's gonna happen, Hot 97 gonna switch formats again.
They really stepped in it with this one.

The Rev. Conrad Tillard, who has been an advisor to the Hawkins’ family, offered a measured reaction Sunday to Raucci’s firing and said the station could have handled it differently.

“More of that mob that threatened that group of young black men and denied them their civil rights should have gone to jail,” Tillard wrote on Facebook. “I don’t know Pasquale, I hate what he did, but people deserve a second chance.”

I think we have more to lose when the principal of rehabilitation and one having ‘paid their debt to society’ is not upheld,” he added.

"Rather than being fired, Hot 97 should have used this situation as a way to teach the young people of the nation about racism and ignorance . . . Sometimes the moment is not about tearing something down, but building something up.”
