"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. I’m a fan of music. I know the plight and everything that’s going on in Haiti. I applaud the efforts: [Millions have been raised] through text [donations] to Haiti. So I appreciate the efforts and everything, but ‘We are the World’ is [musically] untouchable like ‘Thriller’ is untouchable. Some things are just untouchable. It was a valiant effort, but for me, it’s gonna be untouchable."

Mr. Carter hit the nail on the head. First of all, in this day in age we don't have enough legitimate singers to pull this off and secondly, the rappers should have rally their own troops to support Haiti. Although, I actually enjoyed controverisal Kanye's line. He is the voice of the disfranchised people. By the way, Vince Vaughn, Mr. Bentley and Jeff Bridges, really? Needless to say, they should have kept the past in the past!
I know Michael Jackson is cursing Quincy Jones and Lionel Ritchie out!
