The Whole Delivery

The Music Wakeup Call is back, with one of the rare EDM songs I can tolerate. And I'm so glad that Shermanology was black. Because honestly, there are not a lot of black women in EDM. More to come at TWD today, stay tuned.

(Viewer and listener discretion is advised, especially if you aren't black or from a diverse minority American community):   It's a new one from Talib with the Chef on the track, it's Violations and it serves as your music energy boost for this current moment here at TWD: More to come here, stay tuned. 

The most underrated right now, here is Aloe Blacc with another gem that is getting attention from his slept on 2013 album Lift Your Spirit, it's "Here Today." More to come from The Whole Delivery, stay tuned. 

This is really is rising, and so is K.Michelle, since she is a better Keyshia Cole for sure. Especially since Keyshia Cole is just not caring to do much music nowadays. More to come at The Whole Delivery in a bit.

No surprise here, and this song was made the year yours' truly was born. Geesh, I am a fossil now: More to come at The Whole Delivery in a bit.

Shoutout to Sir Metellus on this one , the first Christmas song I am now playing at The Whole Delivery this year: Donnie Hathaway's "This Christmas" is the best Christmas song. Soulful, great melodic arrangement, traditional, and amazing vocals. — George D. Metellus (@GDMetellus8) December 3, 2013 More to come at The Whole Delivery, stay tuned. 

Screenshot From Sign of a Victory Unlike last night's moments and Saturday Night Live nine days ago in his Lady Gaga psuedo-sex phaze, Robert Kelly still has a list of inspiring songs. Still his most overlooked song in the last few years was this song that should have been the main World Cup song, or K'naan "Wavin' Flag." I have discussed plenty of times how that should have been the case for those two songs, only to be denied by the weird, corporate choice of Shakira, an insult to the first World Cup held on African soil. Anyway, here's the 2010 underrated gem that is "Sign of a Victory."

Never played this song until now, and have to say that at least Wiz Khalifa and Juicy J stuck to the topic of the song and salvaged it.  I actually like Miley a lot as a person, But whoever wrote her verse (including hers) really did an awful job of not emphasizing at least Jordan and just the element of "greatness" that was suppose to be the theme of the song.   Also, if you are not a fan of "bragging, glossy rap songs" like this one, you definitely should skip this one. But as mentioned above, Wiz and Juicy J do show some skill here.

It was always just humorous that both of them thought they invented a story that has been years long before they were in diapers (in terms of music relevance, not literally). To be real, this was more of a warning shot than an actual damaging diss (the lines weren't one knockout line after knockout line). But even without him saying their name, Luda definitely directed it big time at Big Sean and Drake wrong statements.

Andre 3000 is back in a music video, even if he is a cat!

Just another classic from one of the most underrated albums of the decade.

For BIG, you know what it is (and as always, viewer/listener discretion is advised):

Though this video is terrible, "Lasers" is out. And it's your Energy Boost for the day:

2 for 2 now......she is dominating like few other right now. This legend continues to grow, and thank RapRadar for the assist :

It's crazy how much of a transformation this woman has undergone over the last few years after breaking off from her Floetry partner Natalie Stewart. Your Midday Energy Boost is Marsha Ambrosius with the deep and in touch song/video "Far Away" off her anticipated debut album "Late Nights and Early Mornings."

Out of so many possible selections, this is the one that represents the 14th of February better than anything else. Hell, anything from Andre 3000's terrific "The Love Below" album from 8 years ago is well worth blasting today if you're in the mood. He made that album clearly for this day, although Big Boi being on this track leads me to actually use the proper attribution of it being a true "Outkast song." Anyway, here's your music energy boost for this Valentine's Day, it's Outkast with "Roses"

DISTANT RELATIVES "Patience" from nabil elderkin on Vimeo .

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."
