The "Music End of Work" Closer for 11/25/13: R.Kelly- Sign of a Victory (2010)

Image
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."

The consensus is clear, K'Naan by far the realest performance. Such common sense folks : Translated for you in a second : Translation: I prefer listening to K'naan "Wavin Flag" 100 times more than listening to Shakira's "Waka Waka". From the passionate MsAfroCan : And from white african, I couldn't sum it up any better :

"This Is It" cashed in 2.2 million on its premiere night . Meanwhile, MJ has made $72 million after his death . Joe Budden continues to score in the "lose" column . Shakira's time has past in my mind. Younger pop artists have basically taken over her own her lane in the game, and that single she has out right now just isn't generating anything. 50 Cent's album has leaked.....here is one link to the "Psycho" song from Eminem . And for that album, which has been planned way before even the rushed "Curtis" album, "Before I Self Destruct" isn't generating really any buzz at all. Quietly, Jay-Z and Black Eyed Peas albums went platinum last week, and both are over the 1.1 million threshold . Disappointing numbers for Mariah Carey though, and Whitney Houston will probably need a second single if she is to go platinum by year's end. And I guarantee you that this will be the worst rap album ever . This guy is not even good...

Photo from John Shearer from WireImage Yup, it will be very short, as the title indicates. Shakira is coming back, and she says her next album is electronic. Lil Wayne's rock album is getting pushed back again.........AGAIN . And people really still taking and playing Joe Jackson quotes seriously? Sadly, yes.
