The Whole Delivery

Classic, timeless, and underrated video from the incomparable The Roots, the 1996's treasure that is "What The Do", parodying perfectly the O.D. music videos of that time that still persists to this day. The Roots - What They Do by Ofca

‎10 years ago when "Jimmy Neutron" was the damn cartoon (actually it was always Nickeledeon's semi-ripoff of Dexter's Laboratory). Nevertheless, it's fittingly wack lead single for its soundtrack is the first Flashback Friday this week. It's three "long-n-gone from the music scene" artists Romeo, Mariah's husband, and what eventually was 2/3's of the Cheetah Girls with the re-do of "Just Don't Understand."

No one is playing better under a roof in 2011 than the Czech sensation, as Kvitova scored another class victory. Photo from Getty Images Stability is everything for a baseline tennis player. And it is a key aspect that Victoria Azarenka has at the moment while Na Li certainly is in a desperate search for. That was evident from the first point today as the Belorussian confirmed herself as clearly the best player in the White Group, with a 6-2, 6-2 comfortable victory over her Chinese counterpart. It wasn't a thrashing or a beatdown at all, as Li showed at times why she has a 4-1 record over Azarenka by having more power in her strokes and not getting overwhelmed by Azarenka's aggressive persistence. The only major problem Li can have against Azar...

Photo from AP Match Review: Na Li defeats Sharapova for a 4th straight time in a 74 error horror. It sure wasn't pretty for Na Li. But for Maria Sharapova, it was utterly hideous. For the first time in two months, the Chinese #1 was on the winning end of a result, out steadying Sharapova 7-6 (4), 6-4 in a, quite honestly, poor display of tennis in the 3rd match of the White Group. It was Na Li's 4th consecutive victory over Sharapova, all ending in straight set results. And if you witnessed this non-aesthetic contest, you will see why that is the case, even at a level where both players made 37 unforced errors (and most of them were cringe worthy for their fans and neutrals to witness.) Sharapova had clear advantages to control the match against a still unconfident Li, with a 4-2 lead and a few chances for a commanding double break advantage. She blew that. Sharapova then had a chance to serve out the set at 5-4. She blew that, getting routinely broken at `15. Sh...

Updated after match #1: Petra Kvitova reversed her up and down performance with a solid display all the way through to defeat Vera Zvonareva 6-2, 6-4. Kvitova's level of play was way more higher and stable than the Russian, who still seemed to be in a rout after losing to Dominika Cibulkova on Friday. But Kvitova showed her credentials of why she could easily be a dominant #1 in the future with a tremendous return day and great hitting from the back of court on both wings. 1st version: First, the three scenarios for Caroline Wozniacki to finish #1 in the world again . First match preview: Petra Kvitova vs Vera Zvonareva The last time these two played, it was once again Zvonareva's movement and ability to turn around the point that was too much for an up and down Kvitova. Although this is indoors, and Kvitova is brilliant indoors on any surface, I just feel Zvonareva has the matchup edge against her. Kvitova's movement continues to improve, but in order for he...

Their first single ever, 24 long years ago.........Whoa, the year I was born, this was dropped. Chills:

It was bizarre seeing how much praise the liberal blogosphere heaped on Steve Jobs amidst his sudden death last week. Seeing this from the Huffington Post shows further more how his personality was something I never warmed too . "You're headed for a one-term presidency," he told Obama at the start of their meeting, insisting that the administration needed to be more business-friendly. As an example, Jobs described the ease with which companies can build factories in China compared to the United States, where "regulations and unnecessary costs" make it difficult for them. What "business" was Jobs talking about? This administration has time in and time again (even with its persistence to take original Republican ideas of tax credits/cuts to show rational people that, hey, they seem to put in original Republican holidays) show how business friendly it actually has been (small business and not coming close to fully holding Wall Street accountable despi...

Officially this is Combs' song (and his debut album). But realistically, this and many others were the entire label's songs of course. Your first Flashback this week is "Been Around The World" from 14 years ago.

Yeah, she's a dominatrix in my mind now. Another video that leaves me to opine that .

And here's exactly why if you still haven't seen : BEAU-TI-FUL. May Maroon 5 forever go platinum for that one.

Though it doesn't hit the emotional element that "Love" and "Who Knows" hit, it is still superb enough:

‎ 15 years since the "Set it Off" movie, and the best track from that soundtrack is one of the many classics from Bone Thugs-n-Harmony not named "Tha Crossroads." Your first Flashback this week, it's the brilliant "Days of Our Livez." Bone Thugs-N-Harmony by crapulacs

A very solid return for the Teddy Penderass man, as well as the Music Wakeup Call too.

This song is making some moves at the moment, and it's your Midday Energy Boost for the day:

Later.....

The only significance in watching this sad effort is the fact that Chingy still exists!

Meh.....(And your eyes my hurt after seeing it with all the graphic switches, which are way too many). Drake ~ Headlines (Official Video) from OctobersVeryOwn on Vimeo . (H/T to the homie D.Scott ).

This group's impact on 90's R&B will never be forgotten. Your Sunday Soulful for the night, it's Xscape's 1993 hit "Just Kickin' It." Xscape - Just Kickin' It by lachula And let that ride you into the week ahead. Goodnight.
