We Are The World

We are the world was a song written in 1985 by Michael Jackson and Lionle Richie. The song was created for charity to raise money for the African Famine. Now 25 years later, Lil Wayne, Justin Beaver, Jamie Foxx, LL Cool J, Fergie, Wycelf and a bunch of other artist gather to remake the record to support Haiti relief. At first I was skeptical about the remake of song because of the inclusion of artist that do not naturally sing such as, Kanye West, Snoop Dogg, Lil Wayne, Will.i.am and Busta Rhymes. Those artist are rappers and producers. How can the be on a song full of singers and make it work. Well it worked and it was great. The song included a segment where a group of rappers rapped a verse together. As well as another segment where Kanye West and Will.i.am rapped back and forth. The song was very well done and I’m sure Michael Jackson is smiling down from heaven.
