Jay-Z, Bono, The Edge & Rihanna – Stranded (Haiti Mon Amour) [CDQ]

20090122-HAITI

I’m currently without internet in Cali right now so shouts to Illy for helping with this post. Anyways, right after Jay performed alongside Bono, The Edge and Rihanna at the Hope for Haiti Now benefit in London this went up on iTunes. Stream only as the song was done for charity. So if you want the .mp3 chuck up the .99 cents and grab off iTunes.

  1. Already ripped this bitch, fuck charity

  2. damm. that aint right. songs alright. good cause

  3. Good song, they should have turned Rihanna’s mic down a little so we could actually hear Bono better.

  4. Man, I usually think most people would be more than willing to give and be happy they could help or at least feel bad for other peoples pain and then I find the internet and it tells me I’m wrong and to go fuck myself.

  5. “fuck charity” ??? WORD ???
    cant wait for sumthin bad to happen to u …

  6. wow first comment. what a fag. song is dope.

  8. Rihanna? Why?…Was Alicia Keys busy?

  9. Man if I had it, they would but I didn’t name myself “The Underpaid Dj” for nothing. I’m counting pennies…

  10. Wouldve been better with alicia keys…but does anybody know how i can buy this off itunes if i dont have a US aacount? I really wanna vut this, and the album and live presentation so i would deeply appreciate anyone providing me with a way to bypass that itunes bullshit and just buy it from my Colombia Account since i dont have a US Billing Address…or someone with connections can just make itunes do something right for once

  16. How they gonna make the hook “not gonna leave ya standing” after an earthquake. smh

  17. ok my bad it says stranded listened to the hq version

  18. @ sleepy

    not gunna leave you stranded”….that makes sense, doesn’t it?

    dope track as well

  19. it’s “not gonna leave you stranded” i believe.

  20. I believe if you overule your mistake before others do, it cancels it out. :p

  21. Overule your mistakes? What does that even mean?

  22. to the two idiots who ripped this song and thought they were sweet because of it you will soon suck karmas dick,its total anarchy over there its a terrible thing. Definitly not anything to joke about, get back to us when the higher powers are done bustin in your faceeee

  23. You know how you can overule yours or somebody else’s decision? Yeah, i applied the overuling to a mistake, too much to get your lil wayne obsessed head around sir?

  24. i think he means acknowledge. you must really be sleepy homie cus you fuckin up lol.

  25. dopium. anyone got that link?

  26. How is overruling a mistake not feasible? A mistake is ultimately a decision, therefore can be overruled, keep your english lesson to yourself.

  27. @MJD I will kill you

  28. Rihanna was probably chosen since she’s a foreigner from an island.

  31. It’s okay
    Meh…ripped it.
    I already donated and shit anyway.

  32. Main Entry: overrule
    Part of Speech: verb
    Definition: repeal
    Synonyms: abrogate, annul, cancel, disallow, invalidate, negate, nullify, override, overturn, quash, rescind, reverse, revoke, strike down, veto, void

    Eat that “word” and “meh” don’t try hurt my pride, and stop giving me clues on your i.q.

  33. Very touching song… yeah niggas will laugh but my ancestry is in Dominica (part of the islands) from the devastation that ran over the country leaves me speechless with tears in my eyes. Please donate, and not just 99cents for the song give as much as possible because its that important and so is your contribution. Great song and i think bono did the song justice. I hope things will get better…

  34. This song was butchered live by Rihanna’s microphone… Bono sounded like he was singing background vocals to her.

    Musically, the highlights of the night came from Justin Timberlake/Matt Morris’ “Hallelujah” and Stevie Wonder.

  35. “Rihanna was probably chosen since she’s a foreigner from an island.”

    LOL @ T-Wayne09

    She was not “chosen” because JayZ is on the song.

  36. crazy to think people actually think this garbage track is hot

  37. sorry but you cant overrule a mistake. its a one time think, you make a mistake there is unmaking the mistake. if you decide to make steak, your wife can overrule that decision and have you make chicken. if you cook the steak on mistake, you cant overrule that mistake. dumbass.

    now you can correct a mistake. which is what you did after you acknowledged that you made one. you didnt overrule it..

  38. Of course you can rescind a mistake, a referee makes a mistake and with the aide of an assistant he rescinds it. The mistake has been overruled. And something tells me your hungry…all this talk of wives and steaks..What’s her name? Miss Steaks? Don’t make me overrule that bitch

  39. you two^, wow

  40. im glad i got this off of itunes. before my purchase i had 11.89 in my account, after i purchased i had 14.02. i dont know how that works but ill take it haha

  41. glad i got this off of itunes, i had 11.89 in my account before the purchase and after the purchase i had 14.02. dont know how that works but ill take it haha

  42. lol.. dont try to diss me because your dumbass didnt read the name of the song and then listened to it and actually thought that they would have the audacity to say “we wont leave them standing” when talking about a earthquake ravaged country that they are performing to help. i mean anyone with any sense would have thought twice when they first had that thought. but the genius that are you actually thought about it, smh’d, and posted about it. only to realize after you posted how wrong you were because you saw the name of the song when it refreshed im sure.
    yes i typed a really long post because i am hungry and bored and this helped me pass 30 seconds and now im 30 seconds closer to going to sleep.

    word? word.

  43. the cause is def worth .99 cent!!!

  44. First of all, not checking a title makes you lazy, not dumb, whereas not knowing the definition of a word makes you uninformed and by all accounts dumb as FUCK. Secondly who reconsiders when they hear something controversial? When you heard Kramer say nigger did you rewind the footage in case he said “nagger” no you probably posted about it. Same thing as what i did here. And stop lying through you gingivitis ravaged teeth, it took you 30 seconds just to type “lol”. Now go up them stairs, avoiding the heroine needles, and get some shuteye. Thanks

  45. heroine needles? lol.. what the fuck?

    say something controversial? yeah that make s a lot of sense doesnt it. “hey guys lets make a song about haiti for the charity event to help raise money. im going to put a line in about not leaving them standing. we are going to knock them down as we rais emoney to try and save them”

    brilliant!

  46. [...] FROM 2dopeboyz [...]

  47. Actually, my initial reaction was that they had written the chorus under the thought process of not leaving Haitians standing alone and clutching at straws, per say. My thoughts are validated especially as one of the songs contributors,Bono,has this line in a previous song, “Don’t leave me “standing” in the cold”,(from the song Alone in the light). I thought the chorus was used in a similar context, and they hadn’t really thought about how that particualar line could be absorbed.

    Do ya dig me hoe ?

    = a prop when you’re all out of valid responses, cool my dude.

    It’s good you accepted i was right, we can finally get this peace treaty on the road. kooooooool

  51. Yes, you’re right i’m sorry i ever doubted you.

  52. Don’t worry about it.

  53. lol at someone else using my name. ive been impersonated in the c-section. i can die happy now.

    and yes, umad!

  54. Jay was theonly rapper to perform at this charity even which further proves why he’s the Greast Of All Time…none of your fav rappers was involved. Good song, support & help Haiti any way u can….Lupe’s song was good too

  55. good look shake on not postin a free link….support HAITI and but da jawn. sak passe!!!!

  56. lol…I meant “buy” the jawn.

  57. Good to see Jay and others doin this, donated twice now.

  58. What an awful song.

  59. Rhianna performed in the song because she is signed with Jay-Z’s record label. He’s going to include his own artists first.

  60. Just got this off Itunes great track.

  61. copped

  62. wtf?! If a unknown artist tryin’ to feed his kids with his music you all leaking and downloading it. But if a hand full of fucking multimillionaires doing a song to help some people (and by that raising their own popularity( you all act like fucking saints! What happened in haiti is fucked up 4 sure. However for all of these fundraising superstars it’s a win-win situation…. spending a day in the studio raising a few bucks and then getting (positiv) media coverage worth a few hundred Gs. And all you cool blog-cats help ‘em by spreading it. Why does Kanye, Wyclef and all the others just don’t shut the fuck up and donating anonymously a million bucks of their own fortune?! Let’s call a spade a spade, downloading = stealing and there’s allways someone whit a loss. No matter if it’s a charity foundation or MC Get-Bizzy. Either you steal and distribute stolen music or you are not. I’m not saying that all the labels haven’t made a lot of mistakes, sure they did. But this is no excuse that all of us are responsible for the fact that some great artists won’t make it or some workers at def jam are loosing their jobs….
