The Whole Delivery

As people still appreciate his past Grammy's performance with the Agent Orange hammering of President Dump, here is the up tempo classic of many that Sir Trevor George Smith produced 15 years ago. With Diddy and Pharrell doing well, and Mo'Nique having a superb guest appearance, it's the 2002 fun hit, "Pass The Courvoiser (Part 2)."   Busta Rhymes Feat Pharrell - Pass The... by Kenpucho This is The Whole Delivery/ 

It may have had a million people on it, but for sure the remix to Busta's hit "Touch It" was even better than the original. Quality in rhyme and energy was felt all the way on this track.  So from a decade ago, it's all of these people with Earl Simmons included, with the always superb Swiss Beatz produced "Touch It (Remix)," as the flashback Fridays are back this week. More from The Flashback Fridays and TWD in a bit. 

The fact that Kanye, who is from Chicago, performed at the 12-12-12 concert Wednesday night at MSG shows how hastily organized and one-dimensional the creation of an otherwise great show. It's what happens when you have myopic big corporations like Chase and GE organize usual fundraisers like this. When you have alternative pop rock legends on the stage like that (and Billy Joel, an accomplished legend in his own right, regardless of how some think he really isn't and has never been rock music), it clearly is a night of epic performers on the same stage that you frankly will only be organized a hand full of times in life. But let's be honest here. The higher-ups who organized this event just really catered it to a middle to late aged white crowd here in the five borough area, as the cameras predominantly showed. And they only picked Kanye (and Alicia Keys) because well, they were major stars who the middle aged white crowd would know instead of even a N...

That album, of course, drops today:

Fitting for back to school mode, it's the quick Flashback Friday return of "Case of the PTA" from Leaders of the New School. Always enjoyable selecting this classic:

From 2003, talk about an artist that they don't even talk about anymore. Here's Lumidee featuring Busta and Loso, and it is the last time I have seen her. "Never Let You Go" is the song, and here you go indeed.

No surprise despite an album where I heard is worse than his last "Mehhh" release "Encore". I guess that's what happens when you are 36 and still talk about drug problems and serial killers. Eminem's "Relapse" brings the rapper back to familiar ground -- the No. 1 slot on the Billboard 200. With 608,000 sold in its first week, it not only nets the biggest sales week of the year for any album, but the best since AC/DC's "Black Ice" began with 784,000 copies last October. And another example of CD's not being brought anymore compared to yesteryear: When "Encore" was released, it sold 711K. And remember how massive the Marshall Matthews LP was. 1.76 mill sold in the first seven days. Also in the album sails news, Meth and Red probably knew they weren't going to break the bang piggybacking off of Eminem, but damn, I know Busta Rhymes has got to be wondering what more could he do . 1 Eminem Relapse 608,000 4 Redman &...

Spit. Random quotes that still won't be enough to generate international news pandemonium came from Curtis Jackson's mouth today. As Shaheem Reid wrote today, 50 says Eminem is " Like his grandmother." The rest of the article is really not worth reading, through Em's new song "Number one" leaked on Friday (and for some, probably earlier.) So early, that it isn't even finished. The new 1.Here's struggling to get back to full relevance Britney Spears with "Cirus." Just why on Earth did her writers call it "Cirus?" No PR skills there. 2. HAHAHAHA, Busta Rhymes is catching some heat for his new song "Arab Money" which came out a few weeks ago. He certainly didn't mean it in that way did Busta, but nowadays, you got to look at an idea from all angles. By the way, talk about a rough year. Most forgot that he even put out an album in the summer. Andre 3000 and Cartoon Network are getting sued for "Class of 3000...

(Listener Discretion is Advised, this is the raw version) From 1998, the classic from Busta Rhymes, another video perfect for halloween. And, please read the parenthesis above. That's the Flashbacks for this week. Until next time, boooooooo!
