Jay-Z, Get Over It!
While I didn’t like the “We Are The World” remake either which debuted during the Opening Ceremonies of the current Olympics, Jay-Z said “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 [Michael Jackson's] ‘Thriller’ to me. I don’t ever wanna see it touched,” during a recent MTV interview according to OMG.
Really? Really?
Jay-Z, what about James Brown, A Tribe Called Quest, the Four Tops, Blondie, The Waitresses, Survivor, Cheryl Lynn, Talking Heads, Rick James, Billy Joel, Annie, KC & the Sunshine Band, Isaac Hayes, Biz Markie, Puff Daddy, B.I.G., The Moments, Al Green, Stanley Clarke, Crash Crew, The Persuaders, Bobby Glen, Snoop Dog, The Doors, David Bowie, Bobby Byrd, the Bee Gees, Luther Vandross, Cake, TLC, Prince, 2Pac, Kim Weston, Madonna, Linkin Park, Pavarotti, Marvin Gaye, Public Enemy, En Vogue, Beastie Boys, Barry White, T.I., Lil Wayne, Jermaine Jackson, Janet Jackson, AND the Jackson 5!!!!!!!!!!!!!?????????????
Guess what they all have in common?
YOU sampled all of them in your own songs!
Talk about originality and leaving well enough alone! Why not start with your own music?!
You’re just mad because you didn’t get to sample We Are The World before the remake came out!!
