Music Thread #1 For 7/2/10 (1st Version): The Runthrough

U2 has a new song they would like everyone to hear : Common will have a re-release of "Resurrection", his 2nd album terrific effort . He is definitely a smart kid . As you all know by now, Mashonda's favorite two people in the world got married over the weekend . Also marrying this weekend, though more quietly, were T.I . and Jazzy Jeff . You're probably well aware of what Lady Gaga did over the weekend . She didn't cancel her concert in Arizona, yet rallied against SB 1070 despite it of course not having the controversial elements in it.

I really don't even the slightest bit of human waste for this song, but this is here to just move the day along. Awesome with it being new, that does help matters. Your morning wakeup call, "Dirty Money" with Mr.Harris, the former ex-cop in the aptly titled "Goodmorning."

Music Thread #2 For 4/14/10 (Version 1): A Lot Of Urban New Stuff.

Ironically on the day where everyone on Twitter is going crazy over middle of the road artist Wiz Khafia Ladies Mixtape with "Orange Juice" in its name , T.I. releases a trailer titled "F--- A Mixtape." That's exactly how I feel about them. Talib and Tek have their tour dates announced . GLC has a new video, titled "Black 44" And for now, here's the new one from Kidz in the Hall

Music Thread For 3/8/10: As One Goes IN, Another Comes Out

Image
Here is T.I's comeback first track from out of jail . It's "I'm Back." Hopefully that cliche title won't be used for when Lil Wayne gets out as his first single. But I know that will be the case somehow, someway. It's amazing how one single can really make a mostly untalented artist really arrogant. Ke$ha, who somehow thinks she sings high notes and all apparently, decides to call out Britney Spears : "I think that's bulls**t. I don't think that's fair at all for people who are going to see the show. I think if you are going to be a singer, you should sing. If you are going to be a dancer, you should dance. If you are going to do a combination of the two, you should make it very clear when you are singing and very clear when you are dancing. I would never do that to my fans. "No offense to her specifically but people have asked me before to mime. I have been up at three in the morning for a television show with jet lag but I re...

Music AM Wakeup Call For 10/6/09: T.I- Hell Of A Life

While in the pin, T.I. still is releasing new videos, and that is the case with "Hell of a Life", the morning wakeup call for today. To be properly honest here with you people, it sounds like a cliche, degenerate and neglected version of "Live Your Life."

Music Thread For 5/26/09- Mos Def Is Doing More Than Promoting "Next Day Air"

Image
Quick news and notes: Photo from hitfix Beastie Boys are coming back again with a new album . So I won't get flamed for never giving you any American Idol news, that Adam Lambert dude may revive the careers of Queen. There, I said it. Let the "Free T.I" campaign begin . HAHAHA, Scarlett Johansson actually has a music career ? That's like Billy Crystal having a baseball career . Bubba Sparxxx has really fallen on hard times. Thank the Good Lord that it will be "anti-auto -tune." And rapture is felt from me because Mos Def has a new one!

Music Thread for 5/25/09: TWD Condolences to Jay Bennett and Rapper Dolla

Image
Music Thread for today Ex-Wilco member Jay Bennett passed away today at age 45, in his sleep. TWD sends its condolences. Roderick Anthony Burton Jr. (Dolla) was buried today , on Memorial Day. He was only 21, and therefore younger than me. Chilling stuff. I'll have more on this story tomorrow, as The Whole Delivery also gives its condolences to his family in this tragic time for them. T.I. has his last concert at the Phillips Arena before he heads to jail tomorrow. "What I need y'all to do is pray for me while I'm gone," he said. "I'll see y'all in 366 days." It was Lauryn Hill's birthday today. Oh how I (and many many others) miss this Lauryn: This Smarty Jones guy apart of Hood News is a certified ass kisser after this one . Add the fake fat man, Rick Ross, baby mother to the list of delusional chicks trying to get money off a book deal. Kanye's book that he has been selling at his website will be sold in stores late next week. The w...

Music Thread for 5/24/09- The Quick News That Never Sucks Up To Mediocre Artists.

Image
Who knew this non-singing singer was coming back ? You know the fad is at an all-time high when tips are now given for it . Okay, maybe it's not a fad since I'm going to start using mine soon. Tip Harris had his appeal denial . Not one of Jasmine Sullivan's finest moments. video platform video management video solutions free video player You wish it could happen to so many other less talented artists then her. First Slim (from 112) and now Mario Winans? These artists need to stop treating Boston as their stop on the comeback trial. It's city abuse. Jay-Z is now independent . Officially independent. I guess the Black Republican moniker can leave him now. If Nick Cannon wasn't 100% committed to pushing back against Eminem in the first place, then he should have just ignored him period. Because he looks very weak right now for taking it back . And I'm saying this as one of those rational dudes who doesn't let the Macho spirit get in the way of regre...

Music Thread #1 for 11/12/08: Ludacris And T.I On Solid Equal Ground?

Image
(Photo: Charles Eshelman/ Getty Images ) Now who would have thought this would happen? Luda is also planning a tour, and he wants to bring some guys from his Southern hometown along for the ride. "I haven't confirmed anything yet," he explained. "It's little talks here and there. But I'll put it out there: I would love to do a tour where it's me, T.I. and [Young] Jeezy. Me, Tip and Jeezy would be outrageous. But nothing is confirmed yet." Yes, you read that sentence correctly. Ludacris being open to do a tour with T.I. I am still wondering deeply, very deeply , when this change of heart occurred. I guess the problems with Shawty Lo have pushed Ludacris into the actual good graces in the mind of T.I., I presume. But for this to even happen, for Ludacris to even bring this up about being apart of a tour with a man who he has an awkward relationship with to say the least, is startling news to me. There have been no reports in the past of a unified ...

Music Thread #2 for 10/28/08: New T.I. and Christian Aguliera Videos, and News.

T.I feat Rihanna with "Love Your Life" Then, the waste of talent that is Christina Aguliera keeps on getting cliche with "Keeps Getting Better." This video will make you literally ask, "What the hell was she thinking?" In News The Cool kids continue to be, literally, cool kids: Lately, The Cool Kids are doing more than just touring America with Q-Tip [click to read] and EPMD's DJ Scratch for the 2K Sports Bounce Tour [click to read].

Music Thread #1 for 10/22/08 (Exclusively Hip-Hop)- Lyfe Jennings Cuffed Up Again (And Maybe for Good); T.I Well On His Way To Plat

Image
(Photo from www.bermudatourism.com) Not very positive news at all . R&B singer Lyfe Jennings was arrested in Smyrna, Georgia on October 19 after leading police on a high speed chase after police responded to a report of shots fired. Police then noticed Jennings' 2005 Chevrolet Corvette leaving the area where the shots were fired and began to pursue him. Jennings would not stop for police and ended up crashing his vehicle thus ending the chase. Jennings already did 10 years for arson, and now, this could be the end of his career. What a sad story. On the flip side, despite the problems with Louis Vutton and Gucci, Tip Harris shouldn't be in a bad mood unless something personal went down, especially if he has seen this (which I can guarantee, he has): If it weren't for Country star Kenny Chesney, T.I. [click to read] would have topped the charts for three straight weeks. Paper Trail [click to read] fell over 40,000 units short of the debuting star though, as T.I. may fin...

Music Thread #2 for 10/20/08- Louis Vutton and Gucci Stop T.I In His Tracks; Don Cornelius Arrested

Image
(Photo from museum.tv)Here's an old school pic of TV icon Don Cornelius, who is in a little trouble with the law Just two quick posts for the night in the music world. When will rappers learn that Gucci and Louis Vutton really don't give a damn about them. Here's the latest example: Although many news outlets reported T.I.'s next single be "Swing Ya Rag," the clip never made it on major television networks. That left fans asking about the video. Recently, Tip spoke openly about the video controversy and more on what fans can still expect from Paper Trail. It seems Louis Vuitton and Gucci were not happy to have their product featured in the video. "We did it, and it came out hot," T.I. told MTV. "Louis [Vuitton] and Gucci started trippin' about it. They were saying we were infringing, in one way or another. They weren't happy about it. They didn't want it to come out. But it's hot, though." As someone said over at DX, it see...
