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 Played Yourself
You know you done fucked up, don't you? You know it, don't you? You know you done fucked up.

Nothing like waking up in the morning to Bey decked out in her PJs as she waves to the paps on the balcony of her Fasano Hotel in Rio de Janeiro. Also in Brazil, AK flew in to shoot her upcoming video with Mrs. Carter and was spotted picking her bikini at the pool. Crack is back!

Better clear your schedule cause there’s more. Kellz reveals that he’s got 15 more chapters of his “Trapped In The Closet” series. Personally, things got too silly for me after the first eight chapters.
