The run through in the world of instrumental rhythm that we simply call, "music."

At least it was only 2 minutes, the total duration of the time spent today in court by DMX. But someone at DX made a great point. Where are his fellow "Ruff Ryders?"

You know its true when they say "you have no friends in this world" because I love DMX and he is one of the realest people in hip hop and it is sad what happened to him but where the f--- are his peoples??? I don't hear anything about Eve supporting him, no Swizz Beats, not even Jay-z coming to help this man out. Nobody showing up for his court dates or visiting him in jail. Its f----- up. I guess its true, you find out who is really with you when your locked up.

MTV and Diddy will continue their annoying and warn out happy marriage by the network giving him another self-propaganda show. Let's see who will be the latest dumb sap (or saps) to get pimped by Mr.Name Changer.

You know, I hate to say this because no one deserves to get "fired at." But Rick Ross had this coming to him. He did. And it had to happen somewhere in Brooklyn. Thankfully though, no one was hurt.

I held off on this yesterday since I did the Obama 37th millionth connection to hip hop yesterday, but this is important in terms of music news being politic news:

In other legal news involving West, California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger vetoed the bill which was partially enacted after the death of West's mother, Dr. Donda West [click to read].

In August, Senator Mark Ridley-Thomas (D-Los Angeles, 26th District) told the Los Angeles Times the bill was drafted [click to read] in response to the death of West and other cThe cosmetic surgery bill AB 2968, which was written by Assemblywoman Wilmer Amina Carter (D-Rialto), would have required patients undergoing plastic surgery to first undergo a physical examination, give a complete medical history and get a doctor's clearance. Governor Schwarzenegger cited the historic backlog caused by California's 85-day delay in passing a new state budget as the primary reason for vetoing the bill.osmetic surgery patients.

Just another reason why "The Terminator" terminates almost anything good in California under his watch.

While everyone talks about 'Hova's and Kanye's albums, the one that will certainly be cherished the most on TWD is Scarface's last album, Emeritus:

With a career that spans close to two decades, it’s understandable that Scarface [click to read] has been pondering retirement for some time now. He flirted with the decision back in 2002 after The Fix [click to read] was released to high acclaim. Then, earlier this year he told XXL that his ninth studio album, Emeritus, would all but be his last.

However, he kept the r-word out of the discussion. “I’m not gonna say that. I’m gonna say Scarface, Emeritus. As time goes on, you will understand it,” he said.

What a pioneer of the game that man has been. And thank goodness he is having potential collabos keeping him in the game, because without him, the music industry (not just rap) would lose a great treasure.

So Bow Wow. You, after all this time with how it is so damn close to the registration deadline, will now start to urge the youth to vote? This is so stupid, especially if he goes on the road, tells people to register to vote, and they realize that in their state, they missed the deadline to do so.
Though in all honesty, these people already loss by the simple fact of having Bow Wow inspire them to vote. Heck, even if this was 2004, they still would look bad. Real bad.

Janet Jackson checked out of a hospital today in Montreal after spending a little time there. That little time was two days, if you needed the specifics.

Can someone please explain to me who is Demi Lovato, and how she and Miley Cirus has a feud? And why that involves one of the Jonas brothers? And why am I even writing about this?

Because we wouldn't be "The Whole Delivery" without it, that's why!

Garage Band, you better watch out, because this could be an absolute classic:

The first band to get to get its very own version of MTV's video game "Rock Band" will be AC/DC. The hard rock icons will be featured in "AC/DC Live: Rock Band Track Pack," an expansion to the popular music game that will be sold exclusively at Wal-Mart for PS2, PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii.

On today's "The Listen", here's that now Presidental candidate from Queens with "Before I Self Destruct's" first single, "See Me Bleedin." I ain;t con-signin it, and it has been out before from what I heard. It just was polished up a bit, but it doesn't matter to me. It is still basically irelvant from my standpoint. But it's about giving you, the reader, no matter who you are or what you are, "The Whole Delivery."

That's it for the music thread today. Maybe we will have that T.I album review tomorrow. Peace.
