I've been doing a lot of reading on alot of the musicians I listen to, and the inspiration for some of there stuff when I stumbled on a piece about Ja Rule, and how he participated in the remix of Marvin Gaye's 'What's goin on', fundraiser and tribute to volunteers for 9/11

When I noticed the variety of people that participated in it, it kicks off with Bono, then it brings in Sting, Gwen Stefani, re-unites N'Sync and the BSB, even people like Fred Durst and Ja Rule, who otherwise have no reason to sing a song like that and even people of other nationalities (Nelly Furtado -- Canadian).

When I watch this it makes me think what were doing is atleast something positive, though I'm gonna leave the politics out of this.

Theres a fundamental goodness in everyone somewhere I think, and it's amazing what can bring polarizing people together.

I listen to everything, hip hop, r&b, country, classical, indie, rock, alternative, heavy metal, pop, everything.

This isn't about my music taste.

I listen to rap too, just not Ja Rule. I liked the song over all. Considering the producers involved and the labels, I wonder how much togetherness actually happened. A good and positive thing none the less.

Agreed, I was suprised some of those people would be in the same room as others.

Like I said, something like 9/11 does some pretty magical stuff to people.

Hey, if you can reunite N'Sync and the Backstreet Boys, you can pretty much accomplish anything...

9/11 didn't inspire the "artists" to do it out of kindness, it inspired them to do it because they will sell a ton of albums and make money.

Ja Rule can kiss my ass. His asshole driver doesn't know how to make a left turn, tried to run me off the road, and then he rolled down his window, yelled something at ME, gave ME the finger.

F*ck Ja Rule.
