From TMZ:

Daz Dillinger is taking the phrase "making it rain" out of the strip club … and into the streets -- showering HOMELESS PEOPLE with airborne singles last week … instead of scantily-clad women … and TMZ has footage of the money mayhem.

The video was shot for a charity called MakeItRain.TV -- founded by radio host Tattoo from 93.5 KDAY -- and last Friday, Daz, Tattoo and their entourage hit Venice Beach … where they unloaded $6,000 in singles on the boardwalk.

The cash stunt attracted hordes of money-hungry people, scrambling to pick up as much green as possible. Shockingly, no one was hurt.

In the video, Tattoo (the guy in the cap) approaches several homeless people and buries them in cash. His intentions are clearly good, but it's a little uncomfortable to watch -- because the act of throwing money at people could be construed as humiliating.

I love the guy in the background (with the skateboard and not homeless) following these guys around and picking up the leftovers intended for the homeless and stuffing his pockets with dollars when they face the camera.  Stand up guy!

Hip hop trickle down is the right term. What a joke.

 

Remember Father Maurice Chase used to give out 20's and 100's in skid row and he never rode in a limo.
