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.Jimmy Iovine On “Beats by Dr. Dre”

At a recent press conference in NYC, Interscope’s head honcho explains how Beats by Dr. Dre came to fruition.
“The whole headphones thing came to life on its own. Dre and I were out in Malibu, I know some of you think Dre lives in the hood, but he has a house in Malibu,” said Iovine . “Anyway, we’re on his terrace in Malibu, and he says, ‘My lawyers want me to sell sneakers.’ I look at him and I say, ‘Fuck sneakers. Nobody cares what kind of sneakers you wear, but they would care about the speakers you use.’ And speakers turned into headphones.”
Well, that makes sense cents.
Props: Woooha
i really thought dre lived in the hood!
Jimmy Iovine a bigger dummy for thinking that a guy we all know still haven’t spend his NWA millions still live in the hood.
lmao @ fck sneakers….
Speaking of sneakers….Dre is rocking some TIGHT kicks in that pictrure with Gaga and Jimmy.
Ummm, so Dre doesn’t live in the hood? What a shocker !
Wow! Now I REALLY know Jimmy Iovine is an ignorant racist fuck…Who in their right mines in 2009 thought Dre still lived in the fuckin’ hood?!?!?!? LMFAO!!!!!!! I hope not with the money he has. Then he would dubbed the realest nigga alive for pullin’ that off. Smfh @ Iovine. Ur smart, but not THAT smart. Lol!
