Songs where several big artists have got together
The Moulan Rouge thread got me thinking. What projects have involved 3 or more big or reasonably big artists?
What artists would you like to see get together and what song would you like them to sing? |

Jessie J, Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj on 'Bang Bang' this year is pretty big tbh.
'Game Over' from a few years ago is a song with Tinchy Stryder, Example, Tinie Tempah, Chipmunk, Professor Green, Devlin and Giggs all featured (all pretty big names back then) |

One of the first ones has to be The Million Dollar Quartet, which lined up Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins and Johnny Cash.
Not too shabby

In the late 80s KRS-One started the 'stop the violence movement' in response to the violence in Hip Hop and the African American community, after his DJ Scott la rock was murdered in a street altercation and a guy got shot at one of his concerts. It was composed of some of the biggest names in East coast Hip Hop, with all proceeds going to the national urban league.
Featuring : Krs-One, D-Nice, Ms Melodie (BDP) Stetsasonic Kool moe dee Mc Lyte Doug E fresh Just Ice Heavy D Chuck D & Flavour Flav (P.E) Stop the violence movement - Self destruction (1989) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jxyYP_bS_6s Like Live Aid the song kind of sucks, but its the novelty of seeing all the different artists together in the video makes it entertaining. Shortly afterwards West coast Hip Hop artists decided to follow suit and a host of them did something similar which promoted anti gang violence which was a real problem in america at the time.The song was a bit better but still not that great, but again i remember watching this video a lot. Featuring Dr Dre, MC Ren, Eazy- E (NWA) King tee Def Jef J.J. Fad Tone-Loc Above the law Ice-T Young MC Digital underground MC Hammer The west coast all stars - were all in the same gang (1990) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7RFLZRVpoWk Krs-One - Heal yourself (1991) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6drAemArvM featuring Krs-One Big daddy kane Freddie foxx kid capri LL cool j MC Lyte Run DMC Queen latfiah *LL cool J and Run (from run dmc) were banned on the day from going to the video shoot by russell simmons, to get around this when LL's verse comes on some kids stand around a boom box listening to his rap through that. ![]() KRS also done another more upto date version of self destruction in 2008 featuring over 55 artists and again in 2009. |

I remember 'Artists Against Aids' did a cover of Marvin Gaye's Whats Going On in 2001. However, its release was so close to the 9/11 atrocities that some of the proceeds went to that. It featured Bono (inevitably), Destiney's Child, Britney Spears, N; Sync, Christine Aguilera, Ja Rule, Jennifer Lopez, Fred Durst, Gwen Stefani, Mary J Blige, Nelly, Eve, Alicia Keyes, P Diddy, Nelly Furtado and Nona Gaye.
