Nipsey Hussle On “We Are The World” Remake

Peep, the Nip slip in the back? Ha! Anyway, Mr. All Money In, No Money Out spoke with XXL about his appearance on the “We Are The World” remake and gave details on the rap portion of the track.

But as far as the rapping, LL did the original lead vocal for the rap. Everybody rapped the same verse, we stacked our vocals and then after, LL, will.i.am went in, then Jamie Foxx, Snoop, myself. And what it was, after we laid our vocals in the studio, we all got together to record the visual, and that’s when everybody had their individual mic and we rapped it at the same time.

Oh, so there’s an actual rap part on it?
Yeah, I’m like at first when they called me, I’m like, “
Shit, am I gonna write, you gonna have me write my shit?” But it was a 12-bar verse. I think LL wrote it and it was just talking about the disaster, similar to how everybody need to come together, it was you know uplifting lyrics. It wasn’t nothing corny, it was something that people would be able to relate to but still universal.

    Never thought I’d see the day that Nipsey Hussel and Barbara Streisand were on the same record.

    Shit ma nigga. I’m not sure people are gonna feel this track the way Quincy may want it to be. I mean. There’s too many people. I heard the behind the scenes shit on YouTube and it sounded fucking horrible. I’m pretty damn sure they’re going to computerize the shit out of this track.

    So basically it’s a bunch of bullshit… Way to make the record relevant… Go get LL fucking Cool J to write the lyrics… How do you have washed up dudes like Wyclef, Busta and totally unknowns like Nipsey Hustle and you still manage to find someone even less relevant to write the shit?!?!? THIS SHIT WILL FAIL!!! ON EVERY LEVEL!!!!

  8. Busby says:

  9. Ty says:

    Yeah I’m on that new We Are The World too…….. never heard of me? Well then I fit right in huh? LOL LOL

    Nah but seriously every fan base that they can get excited by seeing their favorite artist is more money for the cause, whether it’s a huge name in the biz or a has been or a newer unproven artist. I don’t think they are as worried about status or making it iconic as they are with exciting as many people as possible into giving up some money to the cause.

    Some people listen to so much rap that they think every musical or artistic endeavor is motivated by what motivates the average rapper nowadays, greed and status. That’s not what everybody is on though.

  14. […] Nipsey Hussle told us last week that LL Cool was leading the rap portion of the “We Are The World” recording. Conversing with MTV, the G.O.A.T. explains how he was approached to handle the tall order. […]

  15. What Will (above) said: why?? I can think of literally 100 rappers who should be on this before that dude even gets to do an ad-lib!
