When it comes to remaking timeless classics Jay-Z is not a fan; not even if the purpose is to bring global awareness to the catasrophe resulting for an earthquake in Haiti.
So when Quincy Jones called Jay-Z to ask him to be apart of the remake of We Are The World, Jay-Z respectfully declined.
Jay-Z told MTV.com, "'We Are the World' is like '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."
