While on the red carpet at some event, Jay-Z talked about why he isn't on the remake of "We Are the World," claiming that the original is "untouchable" and shouldn't be re-recorded. That's true, I guess. But Jigga means that from a position of reverence; dude really thinks the original is as good as anything on Thriller. Clearly the song is untouchable. But that's due to the fact it's a giant piece of shit, not in that it's a really good song. [Real Talk NY]
He's probably just so relieved he didn't get involved after he saw the end result. You gotta admit...the original We Are The World looks pretty great next to the new one.
yeah, the original's a POS. so is this site.
