Many wondered why Jay-Z pulled a disappearing act as the rapper was nowhere to be found in the remake of “We Are The World”
Speaking with MTV, Jay gave the reasoning behind not being part of the song:
“I have a interesting take on that. I know everybody is gonna take this wrong: “We Are the World,” I love it, and I understand the point and think it’s great. But I think “We Are the World” is like “Thriller” to me. I don’t ever wanna see it touched.”
Although he may not agree with the song, he is thankful for what it has done to further aid Haiti and raised funds.
“I know the plight and everything that’s going on in Haiti. I applaud the efforts. Like 1 out of 2 Americans donated through text to Haiti. That’s amazing. So I appreciate the efforts and everything, but “We are the World” is untouchable like “Thriller” is untouchable. Some things are just untouchable. It was a valiant effort, but for me, it’s gonna be untouchable.”
And Jay-Z isn’t the only one:
Critics agree with the rapper. Sniped The Washington Post of the song, which featured Miley Cyrus and Justin Bieber, “The updated take was horribly oversung… save for the 21st-century rap verses added toward the end of the track.” Wrote the New York Times, “Lil Wayne, you’re no Bob Dylan…. as a piece of work, [the song] has all the pitfalls of a Hollywood remake.”
FINALLY, someone with some sense. An Auto Tune of “We Are The World”?
Not to mention Quincy Jones’s whacked take on the whole thing. Much respect to Jay-Z for this one.
It has been reported that Jay-Z and Beyonce are going to change their name from Carter to Knowles-Carter.
Reason being a source revealed: “They want to keep Knowles because Beyonce’s parents didn’t have any sons and they’re keen to keep the name going strong, especially if they don’t produce any children themselves.”
Jay-Z – whose real name is Shawn Carter – will now be known as Shawn Knowles-Carter, while Beyonce is to become Beyonce Knowles-Carter.
Wow, we have to say we are impressed with Jay-Z, this is very progressive of him!
Beyonce knows how to take care of her man. For Jay-Z’s 40 birthday party she rented a mansion in the Dominican Republic resort Casa de Campo.
And check out the guest list: Kanye West, Diddy, Oprah, Mary J. Blige, Alicia Keys, Lil’ Wayne, Ne-Yo, Kate Hudson, A-Rod and M.I.A. all showed up courtesy of two private jets to celebrate Jay’s big day where the sipped on vintage Dom Perignon and Cristal champagne.
Guests had to leave their phones at the door to ensure no pics would leak as well as saying the password “Bye, Bye Blackbird” for admittance. At midnight there was a fireworks display and synchronized swim performance. There were also performances with Diddy and Jay-Z.
Nice work Beyonce!
Oh Sugar!
When Jay-Z took the stage tonight to accept his award for Favorite Hip Hop Artist, he was really chomping on the gum he was chewing and just at that time Chris Brown tweeted: “Cornball”.
Right after the tweet, Twitter blew up referencing Chris Brown as dissin Jay-Z. So then the tweet was removed faster than Shakira’s clothes and Chris Brown had the following to say (or tweet) :
