The Whole Delivery

In the continued Flashback Friday tribute to Malik Taylor, here is Sir Phife Dawg leading off superbly with the timeless group classic "Scenario", which on another day would be a full recognition of how the Leaders of the New School, in particular Busta Rhymes, emerged as real forces to watch for. More to come at The Whole Delivery, stay tuned.

With the passing of one Malik Taylor, it's only necessary that this week's Flashback Friday include a few "A Tribe Called Quest" classics that he specifically got his lyrical shine in. Unfortunate thing in all of this is how Phife Dawg never was given his chance to deliver a well-hyped solo album. Part of it had to do with just the in-demand market for it, but as he so eloquently alluded to in an interview on Highly Questionable in 2014, the less glamorized members of Wu-Tang got their album shine, so why couldn't he?

May you take a look at the best of them, here (click to enlarge): Oh look, a Sandusky reference! First I have seen of that one: The media who barely shows him doesn't call him out on his lies! Those socialist lies! Muting when losing is therapy for some.  Professional Hack economist who writes many professional hack pieces expresses his usual passive aggressive hack snark.  Oh look, it's the #MississippiBerning hashtag, that was started by a comedian.........back in summer 2015. Michael Moore changed his name to Michael Flint, who knew??? And the best of them all, that Bernie spent $82 million, $82 million, in Michigan! Bonus : Though this one wasn't last night, it showed how left-center hacks like Matthew Yglesias have...
