I told you everybody got one. Mandatory. End of story. What’s weird about this one is it’s a flat-out, subdued cover of “Billie Jean,” with moonwalk included. Whoa. Not your average Sunday night in the Chi. All praises due to King Michael.
Props: Zillion Dolla Zub





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.
You know you done fucked up, don't you? You know it, don't you? You know you done fucked up.
Or does Mos sound like wayne when he talks
This show was hands down the most bizarre hip hop concert I’ve ever seen. Mos was on some other shit all night. He hit the stage in some flood tuxedo pants, billie jean loafers and a chinese warrior mask.
I also think Jay Electronica got booted for trying to surf on the balcony box across the way. HOB don’t play that shit
