The video is even more special than the special song that it already was. The directing legends Coodie and Chike add another Chicago masterpiece of music and music video making. It is that phenomenal and inspirational, no matter if you are black or non-black, from Chicago or not. Also, a major special video mention, this time a poem, from the standout sir that is Musa Okwonga and his sensational poem celebrating 150 years of football for the FA: This is The Whole Delivery, more to come, stay tuned.

It was here before. And since it is so good, it is here once again. Lupe and a great, smooth 'John Mayer' type sound without a douchey behavior from Ed Sheeran. One "give me that old school love right now."

In the aftermath of dropping yet another thought provoking classic yesterday , your Midday Energy Boost for the day centers around Mr. SLR. Although the video was yet another disappointing visual effort from him, "The Show Goes On" is still a quality lead single that obviously won't get the love it deserves on the singles' chart. Nevertheless, it will get the shoutout here as today's Midday Music Energy Boost: In addition, since it was too good to deny, here's a bonus selection. It's The Lonely Island featuring a wack Nicki Minaj (what else is new) with their latest funny classic "Do The Creep."

Music Wakeup Call For 4/8/10: Lupe Fiasco- Kick Push (2006)

Your morning wakeup call for the day, this classic ladies and gentlemen:

Music AM Wakeup Call For 3/11/10: Lupe Fiasco Feat Kenna- "Resurrection"

For Haiti indeed.......here is today's wakeup call from Lupe Fiasco feat Kenna and produced by Mike Shinoda. It's called "Resurrection", and Shinoda's directing in this one is jaw dropping. It is a thousand times better than just doing a "We Are The World" remake, that's for sure.

Music AM Wakeup Call For 8/17/09: Lupe Fiasco- "Hip Hop Saved My Life" (2007)

One of the realest songs ever.

Music Thread #2 for 6/17/09: Lupe Fiasco Suffers Another Leak.......And He Isn't Happy About It, Again

The quick runthrough It's probably good that the NBA Finals ended, because he won't get his trial delayed anymore You can understand Lupe's frustration . A lot of people were running right to Limewire in 2006 to download his whole album, and it hurt him. So I can understand why he was tight. But the leak wasn't the only reason Lupe didn't come close to platinum with Food and Liquor. It was the terrible decision to make "I Gotcha" the second single after "Kick Push", instead of making "Just Might Be Ok" the follow up to regenerate people buying that CD. That is the most costliest mistake of his career, in my view. And it hurt a lot. "Just Might Be Ok" had the potential, and still could be, to be a memorable video. But I doubt that will happen, unless I get in the game. Sting's next album "Winter" will be in the Fall. Yes, it may just be a rec center and not something educational. But Snopp is giving back, and tha...
