Even with the success that the rapper has been able to accumulate within his years in the rap game, the world must have still be in awe to see Jay Z performing for the World Series in 2009.

Once that was taken care of, it was only a matter of time before he was tapped for the Super Bowl and even found himself alongside Bono, of U2, creating the Haiti dedication song “Stranded”.

In the history of Hip Hop, never has there been a period which it was so accepted and had begun to expand itself and become globally accepted.

As part of the movement, Jay spoke with MTV and reacted to how far his career has taken him with his music touching everywhere now.

"I get out and see the world and more of the world is accepting of our music and what we do. I'm just inspired by the whole thing and how big hip-hop can be and how much of a phenomenon it is.”

Jigga also reflected on his World Series performance to make the point that no one could have ever imagined a day when Hip Hop would be the opening act for such an event.

“You couldn't imagine hip-hop being at the World Series. I touched the championship trophy before A Rod and the Vince Lombardi trophy before the Saints. You couldn't imagine that happening 10 years ago. How about five years ago? I'm saying that to say that the journey hip-hop has taken and we are right now, there's no imitation to it.”

A genre that has been condemned by so many for lewdness, explicit language and has been accused of brainwashing young minds has apparently become a force that is unstoppable.  Hip Hop has made major leaps in its history and there are no signs of anyone being able to be a roadblock to the movement.

"I carried bodies of my people in the cemetary. They should have been walking. They should have been laughing. They should have been singing. But instead they were heavy in my arms.

At the cemetary there weren't enough holes in the ground to bury mothers, fathers, husbands and wives with dignity and grace. We need to pray for them so that their souls rest in peace." - Wyclef Jean

Here they perform the new song dedicated to the survivors entitled "Stranded."

Let's continue to doante and help our brothers and sisters over there.

Two of the latest to do so are Jay-Z and his protégé Rihanna who will participate in the “Hope For Haiti” telethon.

Organized by George Clooney, “Hope For Haiti” is set to be the largest benefit yet with three different locations in Los Angeles, New York and London.

The telethon in London will unite Jay-Z and Rihanna for a performance with Bono of U2 and Coldplay.

The artists will be performing a Haiti tribute song titled "Haiti Mon Amour" produced by Swizz Beatz.

George Clooney himself will host the Los Angeles segment of the program joined by Stevie Wonder,  Alicia Keys, John Legend, Christina Aguilera, Justin Timberlake and Taylor Swift.

Haiti's unofficial ambassador and the founder of Yele Haiti, Wyclef Jean, will host the New York segment appearing alongside Jennifer Hudson, Bruce Springsteen and Shakira.

The “Hope For Haiti” telethon airs live Friday on MTV UK.

"As champions of justice, Bono and Wyclef have brought the national spotlight to human rights violations, empowered local activists, and transformed the lives of millions of people living in poverty from Port-Au-Prince to Darfur," said Kerry Kennedy, founder of the RFK Center for Justice and Human Rights. "Their efforts evoke the spirit of my father and we are honored to recognize them."

The organization will recognize Wyclef Jean for his work to strengthen and inspire change in his native country of Haiti through his Yele Haiti organization (www.yele.org) . The award will honor Bono, lead singer of U2 and co-founder of the advocacy organization ONE and (Product) RED, for his efforts in the fight against extreme poverty and preventable disease, particularly in Africa (www.one.org, www.joinred.com).
In addition to the award presentation, there will be special appearances and performances by Wyclef Jean, Governor David Paterson, Governor Jon Corzine, Peter Gallagher, Matthew Modine, Adam Arkin, Joey Pantoliano, and Gloria Reuben. There will also be a special tribute to Senator Edward Kennedy, who served as a member of the RFK Board of Directors from 1968 until his passing this year.

The RFK Center for Justice and Human Rights is a non-profit organization dedicated to advancing the human rights movement through innovative support to human rights defenders around the world.
