October 8, 2004 -- WE never liked the original "We Are the World," so it is with dismay that we report producer/composer Jermaine Dupri (above) plans a new version of the 1985 Michael Jackson/Lionel Richie/Quincy Jones anthem naively aimed at ending Third World famine. Dupri made the surprise announcement while receiving an award from EMI Music Publishing chairman Martin Bandier. He said Jones had asked him to spearhead the project, to be launched during next month's American Music Awards.

Remember.. He is plowing her

October 8, 2004 -- THE Source magazine was so irked when Russell Simmons pulled out of its Hip-Hop Voter Education Rally in Miami this weekend, its founders, David Mays and Ray Benzino, ripped into the Def Jam Records king with a vengeance. "Russell Sim mons has been exploiting hip- hop for years," the duo declared in a statement. "Russell is further from hip-hop, the community and struggle it repre sents than he has ever been.

Russell is a serious threat to the advancement of the black community and hip-hop cul ture because he exploits the percep tion in corporate America that he represents the views of the hip-hop community when he does not . . . Russell Simmons may represent the Hamptons and his rich friends, but they don't represent the hip- hop community." Simmons re fused to rise to the bait and sim ply said: "I only want to promote posi tivity and dialogue within the hip-hop community. I have no ill will toward them and wish them well."

Both Mays and Benzino can suck my choda. They've done dragged any semblance of professionalism the Source had through the shit and grime, leaving nothing behind but a puffball fanzine for their associates. Hey, if Simmons is such a danger to hip-hop, why the hell did you try to get him at your rally in the first place?

Fuck the Source.

 

[KingV]

Fuck Jerm, he's wack as all get out. Dude is corny, and all the talent he discovers are basically little kids. Da Brat, Kriss Kross, and Lil Bow Wow. Now that's contributing to the Hip Hop community. Thanks Jerm!

I still remember in that source interview a few years ago when Jerm said he was the best producer in hip hop. Funny ass shit.

 

[G4life98]

why is the news reporting this shit like anyone at the source has any kind of credibility

 

[Fresh Prince]

Seriously who would take any Hip-Hop magazine seriously.

If it's not the Source trying to end Eminem, it XXL constantly trying to suck Interscope's d!ck.

Kriss Kross will make you jump, jump.

This has to be the 9th or 10th time they've made "We are the World", isn't it? Jeez, I'm getting sick of that song. Instead of making a damn song, why not fund some organizations and skip the middleman?

 

[Cool]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!11

This is the funniest thing I've heard in a while. Jermaine Dupri wanting to revive "We Are The World".

I actullay do have the 45 version of the 1985 WE ARE THE WORLD.

I SWEAR JERMAINE IF YOU MAKE A NEW VERSION OF IT
I DROP THIS KID!

 

[clipunderground]

Why don't these rich ass bastards use their money and actually do something positive with some of it. A song isn't the answer jackasses. I'm sure little mamumbo totally appreciates a bunch of pop stars singing for him while he starving to death in some third world country. fucking people I swear. :\

 

[ChumsGum]

I still don't understand how a black man can have white children. Well, I'm sure millions of dollars and science have somethng to do with it.

"We Are The World", U.S.A. for Africa

There comes a time when we need a certain call
When the world must come together as one
There are people dying
Oh, and it's time to lend a hand to life
The greatest gift of all

We can't go on pretending day by day
That someone, somehow will soon make a change
We're all a part of God's great big family
And the truth - you know love is all we need

( CHORUS )
We are the world, we are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
so let's start giving
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true we'll make a better day
Just you and me

Well, send'em you your heart
So they know that someone cares
And their lives will be stronger and free
As God has shown us
By turning stone to bread
And so we all must lend a helping hand

( REPEAT CHORUS )

When you're down and out
There seems no hope at all
But if you just believe
There's no way we can fall
Well, well, well, let's realize
That one change can only come
When we stand together as one

( REPEAT CHORUS AND FADE )

I'm medium-complected black - think Will Smith, rather than Andre Braugher, and my biracial son looks like a white kid with nappy hair.

 

[sonatinas]

Africa didnt see much of that food back in the 80s. So, how is this going to be different? I think better access to drinking water would be much better, and try to limit the deforestation that is going on over there.

Da Brat and Bow Wow will be there, hopefully some other young children artists. Jerm's new talent. Oh, and where there's kids there's R. Kelly.

Does he have blonde hair and blue eyes?

I think a lot of biracial kids are born with fair complexion and gradually get "darker" as they get older.... something to do with increase melanin production.

Does he have blonde hair and blue eyes?

Those are likely to change too.

Don't forgot MJ's a genetic freak, kids lucky he doesn't have a tail or an extra arm

 

[Saint Cornelius]

The only hip-hop magazine worth a damn was egotrip

 

[mrmyth]

Does he have blonde hair and blue eyes?

Does every white kid?

 

[Tommie Hu$tle]

Does he have blonde hair and blue eyes?

There has been so much race mixing that almost all American blacks (probably blacks worldwide) can produce a child of any complexsion. I have releatives that are black and were born with naturally blue eyes (fucking wierd to look at). I have a several friends that have green eyes. It's rare but not uncommon.


My nephew has straight hair that you would associate with being Asian, White, or hispanic but both of his parents have what one would call black hair.

 

[Minotauro]

C'mon, guys. He has THREE children and they're all white with blonde hair and blue eyes. What are the chances of this happening?

 

[Tommie Hu$tle]

Figuring that they have white mothers and MJ can afford to create designer babies on the cheap I would say pretty high.

 

[Luscious LeftFoot]

C'mon, guys. He has THREE children and they're all white with blonde hair and blue eyes. What are the chances of this happening?

What are you getting at exactly?

I'm not very knowledgeable about the genetics of hair & eye colour, but if MJ has a recessive gene(s) that would allow for one kid to turn out like that, why is it a stretch that the others would be the same?

He supposedly has Vitiligo, maybe that lends itself to a lack of melanin in his kids.

 

[Minotauro]

Figuring that they have white mothers and MJ can afford to create designer babies on the cheap I would say pretty high.

Speaking of the mother(s), has anyone ever actually seen that Debbie Rowe? I swear, how a person that looks like her was able to find work at a dermatologist's office is beyond me. It'd be like having Magic Johnson working at an HIV-testing facility.

 

[Minotauro]

What are you getting at exactly?

Basically, that his children aren't his biologically.

Then again, I'm no expert at genetics either...it just seems a little odd to me.

 

[Tommie Hu$tle]

I'll admit that that is a real possiblilty.

 

[Luscious LeftFoot]

I'll admit that that is a real possiblilty.

Same.

I've always just assumed someone who have found out by now.

 

[Merlin]

Will the La Toya Jackson be in this one ?

She is recording new album! Toy is throwing down with hew new sound !!!
