We Are The World (Hip-Hop Remix) feat….
I’d rather not spoil it for you..just LISSSSSTEN!!(that was a clue)
Los Angeles - Two weeks ago, someone came up with the bright idea of remaking “We Are The World”…with rappers. While results were less than swaggalitious, we at Hood Newz (boo-yao!!) managed to swap a copy of an exclusive never before heard HIP-HOP REMIX of “We Are The World” and we must say, this is how it SHOULD have sounded!!
Big • Sean • Price
Occupying opposite ends of the spectrum in too many ways to mention, they both have a killer delivery and bravado like no other. Below are just a couple of their latest tracks to give you a sense of why these two guys are not to be messed with…
Big Sean
Sean P
and some (not so) oldies…
We Are the World…some thoughts
1. Auto-tune…why?
2. This “rap choir”…why?…that was some real surreal shit, at least make them appear sincere in the video
3. Ray Charles impression…why?
4. All in all it’s for a good cause…and not just an opportunity for some of these “stars” to get their faces out there or back out there.
5. People are shutting down websites because of this?…daaaaaaaaaaaaamn son.
6. Collectively they all could probably provide enough to rebuild Haiti…just saying
maybe viral media and all that stuff has sort of left me jaded but I feel like this wasn’t necessary and of course we all have our qualms with things but something about this won’t let me get 100% behind it, and by it I mean this new “we are the world” campaign. Give what you can if you can or if you want to but do it the right way: do your research, find notable organizations or charities that you can give to in order to make sure your money isn’t moving through unnecessary third parties.
that is all.

The Great Debate • Who is MIA? Singer, Rapper, Artist or just 1 of the above
The other day while checking twitter I came across the above tweet by a friend of mine by the name of Rae. It seems she’d had it with MIA and anyone who proclaimed that MIA was: 1. good & 2. a rapper. Being the fan that I am I rushed to defend her the best that I could and the following debate ensued. For those unfamiliar with twitter after reading this paragraph it would be best to scroll to the bottom of this post and read from the bottom up to follow along with the timeline of the discussion. Comments are welcome and encouraged, however if they are obnoxious or hateful in anyway they will be removed…why waste the brainpower anyway. Read on and engage in what I felt was a great discussion:
