Wyclef, Tyrese, Jordin Sparks, Celine Dion, Anthony Hamilton, Randy Jackson speak on the upcoming We Are the World remake. A song re-recorded to benefit the victims of the earthquake in Haiti. Kanye West, Lil Wayne, Eminem, Jay-Z, Busta Rhymes, Snoop Dogg, KiD CuDi, will.i.am are a very small portion of who will all be included in the final version. Check out a slew of pictures from the recording session here or here (I’m too lazy to make a gallery haha) and Lil Wayne’s thoughts on his involvement after the jump.
Also, Wyclef’s dedication to his homeland w/ Mavado just hit iTunes. Columbia Records has stated that they will donate the proceeds (up until March 26th) to the Haiti Earthquake Relief, so do your part and help out.
DAAAAAAAAMNNNNNN!!! Cant wait
THEY SAY DRAKE WAS JUST ADDED…..
WTF was Kid Cudi doing there?
I bet most of the artists involved have donated a lot more than 250k
THATS A F’N DJ KHALED LINE UP RIGHT THERE LOL.
It’s going to be all kinds of awkward. The difference between this version and the original is that the original was all people that CAN sing, not people that think they can sing. This version has people that can sing, and people that THINK they can sing.
People need to donate money to America where we live and stop givin’ them people in Haiti free money. Because now we have to help rebuild Iraq, Afghanistan, and now Haiti.. even though our country is broke as shit.
this is a good idea but most of these ppl have no talent…
Why are so many rappers involved in this shit? 90% of them are basically gonna end up as filler/background vocals on the song. Not that I bump the original on the regular or anything….but I agree with byahbyah, this shit is going to just be awkward.
yeah, this is going to be lame.
cosign @ the DJ khaled lineup post
Must have been hard for Snoop, Wayne, and Cudi to be in a studio without smoking weed.
Stop being fucking negative. There is like, exactly no need for it. And don’t talk about how nobody donates us money. We fucked up Iraq, Afgh., and ourselves. This is called charity.
Either be apart of the help, or shut the fuck up. The reason people don’t help us with whatever is because of fucks like y’all..
it actually doesn’t sound that bad
SMH @ all these damn
artistspeople who are unable to come up with a fresh, original track of their own.@ Blackstarr
How the fuck is criticizing the inevitable unlistenability of this song taking any food out of some poor Haitian kid’s mouth? A lot of people have pledged donations (myself included) and/or contributed humanitarian efforts without jumping on a We Are The World remake.
Get your emotional head out of your ass, dude.
I never said that it would take out or put it in. Im saying the fact that you can’t appreciate that they are coming together for more than what seems like publicity for at least an attempt for something good;
just shows that your a bunch of emotionless asses, dude.
by the way, you haven’t even fucking heard the song yet, how is it unlistenable.

I don’t even know how to respond to this. Do you have any idea how selfish that is? The average Haitian makes less than $800 A YEAR. People in New Orleans are RICH compared to them…sometimes I don’t know what’s wrong with the world.
To clarify: the people living in slums in New Orleans are rich compared to them.

Ummmm, if I told you that Josh Groban, John Mayer and Taylor Swift were going to remake Fuck The Police, would you really need to hear it before assuming the shit’s gonna be trash?
No Dan Akroyd?
^^^ lol at george clooney about fuck the police
we are the world with rappers = fail
a song about our social environment with THESE rappers (minus MAYBE Kanye pre-808s and old Em)
so after looking at the pic it’s a bunch of black people and canadians? they got lil wayne and kanye really???? suprised there’s no drake and gucci they going with who’s hot then some old fucks no one cares about anymore
Music entertainment is getting less talented. How the fuck you gonna put these swagger bragging mofo’s on a We Are The World Remake?! People like Michael Jackosn used to be talented and had money without being arrogant, they deserved to make and be on a track like that and he (they) would actually donate money to a whole bunch of charaties. Not look how much money i got type of artist, who are now trying to be a saint by being on a track called We Are The World Remade, fuck it, I never heard them ever say before Owh lets donate money to some poor child at Unicef. This is just a fucking publicity stunt! Get some real singers, owh no I forget, lets put some autotune on this bitch, thats so 2010. RIP MJ!
does no one remember that the original had non-singers as well? just to point out a few, we’ve seen already that wyclef/kanye/cudi/drake etc etc…can hold a note long enough for a 20 second part on a charity song.
EASE UP ON THE CRITICISMS
@george clooney
i actually wouldnt mind if john mayer just did like a live version while messin around. he does that alot and it comes off pretty well. josh groban and scrinchy-face swift tho…not so much
co-fucking-sign what runner said.
I agree with the fact that America fucked up, and I also agree that Our government had a hand in their eventual fails, but you wilding if you telling me its okay to throw almost a billion dollars at them and not start to help the hood, if you so generous @Mike then give yo checks up homeboy, no offense but thats just 100.
And Our government fucked up not Us, that’s what taxes are for, extraneous shit. Extra is just generous and niggas need to start being generous to hoods.
drake can sing.
wayne/kanye gonna autotune? please god no.
^ Actually, I’ve given $25. Which is a lot considering the fact that I’m broke.
The federal government already does “help the hood”. There are dozens of social welfare programs.
what?…terrance howard ain’t gonna lace them wit his wicked vocals and guitar play??? btw whoever bought that album should have anticipated the natural disaster in haiti. co-sign goerge clooney LMAO
