Quincy Jones To Remake “We Are The World”
Thursday, January 21 2010 9:57 AM EST | Posted by: B.Dot | Posted in: Blog, Newsstand StanAccording to Billboard, Quincy Jones and Lionel Richie are revamping the global anthem, “We Are The World”. The record was recorded 25 years ago in support of Africa relief. Coincidentally, the rehash comes in the wake of last week’s earthquake in Haiti. The tandem are recruiting talent from Grammy weekend to participate. So far, invited guests include Usher, Natalie Cole, and John Legend. Surely, more to come.





Who are you and what have you done with Guru? Seriously, we go from the emotional rollercoaster ride of thinkin' we're gonna lose one of the game's greatest MCs to some sick pathetic soap opera involving a man of no blood or kin relation denying family members the right to see their loved one. Now yes Keith Elam may not wanna reconcile with folks he hasn't been on good terms with for the past seven years but that's his decision not yours. From the outside lookin' in, you seem really shady. And if Guru's nephew claim is true that you signed documents as Keith Elam's brother and your wife as his sister than that's just plain alarming. An abuse of power. Releasing statements to websites and official Twitter accounts in Guru's name when he doesn't appear to be able to speak on his own behalf is also misleading and completely wrong. Be clear: At this point the only thing relevant and important is the status of Guru's health. Nobody gives a fuck about you or 7 Grand. Guru's legacy is Gang Starr. DJ Premier and Guru made classics. You and Guru make crap. And you should get slapped for meddling in family business.
I'm not dissin' but you shoulda stayed missing. Everybody in the club get tipsy. Nobody in the club remember your name. Damn shame.

Personally, I think they should just re-release it as is! It is a great song. Was, back in 1985; still is, 25 years later, here in 2010.
If Quincy wants to do a new version, I hope he’ll keep Michael’s vocal track still on it…
It’s HIS song, after all… Don’t disrespect the creator.

Wow are we forgetting why they are doing this? Fuck who they put on it!! Fuck if they are all rappers or not!! This is for people hurting in the world and if Drake can put a rhyme out there that can make bitches buy the track for the picture or if Eminem can get all these wannabe Slim Shady’s to man up or if Jay-Z is the rapper that the whole world adores and wants on this song… then let it fucken be!!! I respect all the artists who are willing to put out a couple of bars for all the pain in the world… MJ did his part and made a difference, we need to start looking for others to help and do their part as well.
