I'm down for good music for a good cause but this ain't the case. The homie Sha from MTV hit me with a question yesterday I dreaded goin' on the record about: How do I feel about hip-hop artists being included in the "We Are The World" remake? Geez, I guess we've come long way since 1985. I don't think you could do it any other way than include our culture which is the pulse of pop culture. But instead of feeling any type of validation, I feel disgust. Seriously, a complete remake of the original song? Celine Dion gettin' her Cyndi Lauper on? Lil Wayne as Bob Dylan? Fuck outta here. Didn't I see Will.I.Am in the flicks? They could gave that nigga an hour plus a pen and a pad and I'm sure he'd come up with something cheesy for no small fee but for free. I'm truly scared to hear what the final product is gonna sound like. Are we really gonna hear the soothing vocals of Nipsey Hussle in the final mix? Highly doubt it. Damn, it's the thought that counts but this just doesn't feel right. Shame on a couple of legendary nuhs named Lionel Richie and Quincy Jones. MJ is turning over in his oxygen tank.

Our dude J-Rod chopped it up with the hottest MC in the game for Wenner Media. Drake admits in the piece he was a lil’ nervous about his Hot 97 debut. Put your blackberry down and read this:
“That was probably, to be honest, the first time in a long time I was nervous,” Drake says now, recalling the moment. “I don’t get nervous for much. But it was like the first time I was like, ‘Wow, this is a legendary moment and a legendary opportunity that I’m being given.’ It was crazy to be standing in the Hot 97 radio room looking at Flex in the booth. Doing what I seen him do for so many years, for some of the greatest artist to ever be in this business. And to think it was just me there and it was all happening for me, it was definitely … Surreal is the word.”
Humility is cool, but you gotta rise to the occassion. Let’s go Drizzy!
