The Whole Delivery

Based off her rousing performance in the fine live remake of The Wiz on NBC, TWD celebrates its first Flashback Friday selection of December 2015 with one Mary J.Blige. The wicked witch was superb in her role Thursday evening, and provided all the elements that showed why Ms. 411 is always as real as they come. Taking it back to her 2001 "revival," it's the smooth joint that lead to a Jadakiss and Fabolous remix and another in the sound production archives of Dr. Dre. It's "Family Affair," as the Flashback Fridays return. And there will be another Flashback Friday selection coming soon. 

Taking it back a decade once again, it's Timbaland, Nelly, and producing an assist from Missy for the forgotten but still respected Ms. Jade and her underrated hit "Ching Ching."

Because he still flows nice, and he didn't need 85 guests appearances on his album, but rather, just a few names.

10 years/summers ago, the single that started it all. Enjoy:

These guys are great

Flashback Friday video number one for this week is the 1993 legendary head banger, "Slam" from Onyx. They just don't make joints like these anymore. Onyx - Slam Uploaded by bullback .

Mr. Friday night, play it. This Is How We Do It - Montell Jordan

So annoying that it gets so enjoyable. And that is only if you are in party mode I guess. Last week, Mr. Pop Champagne man Ron Brownz had a video launched for his "Jumpin Out The Window" song. For those who aren't big hip hop heads to begin with, you can ignore this one as fast as possible. And for some that are, as I stated before, unless you are in full jovial mode and don't give a darn about cliche, uninspiring lyrics, than you probably have already looked pass this thread.

(Photo from RCA) The return of Jennifer Hudson is something that most will cherish The music thread is back. After a long hiatus, a needed break from politics is needed (for the moment). Because would this site still be The Whole Delivery is it didn't have its music fix. It sure as hell wouldn't. And what a way to return indeed, with Violetta Wallace sick and tired of Lil Kim's mouth in regards to her continued verbal assault on the movie "Notorious." Wallace said that before the movie was made, Kim was given a copy of the script and signed off on the use of her likeness in the film. "She felt the character we chose for her was 'too dark,' " Wallace said. "Do you know why the character was too dark for her? Because she's a white woman trapped in a black woman's body, and you can tell the world I said it, because those are Lil' Kim's words. She should be ashamed of herself." And she wasn't done: "Tell Lil' Ki...

New quality, from a new artist named B.O.B. with a directly similar Andre 3000 feel. Nevertheless, it's quality, and it's your music thread for the day.

For Friday night!!!

In celebration of Motown's 50 years of existence coming this Monday (which The Whole Delivery will have more on), one of this week's throwback videos features the 2000 underrated hit "Music", in which Erick Sermon uses Marvin Gaye's famous "Turn on Some Music." Enjoy it, because it is indeed a worthy flashback video indeed.

Photo from Chris Llewlyn via URB He's an upcoming MC getting a lot of attention. But Asher Roth may get even more attention away from his music. And rightfully so: In a story definitely making it rounds online and throughout, Roth and Chris Llewellyn helped stop a man on their plane traveling to Los Angeles after claiming he had a bomb. Stunningly stuff indeed.

To start off, here' the video for Skillz Rap Up for 2008 Whether you like country music or not, Taylor Swift is atop of the charts again . Even more alarmingly to quality music that really makes a difference in people's lives is the fact that Queen B (Beyonce') has now sold over 1.5 million copies with her 11 track piece of you know what album. Sorry, just keeping it real. If you thought that was real, it has nothing on what Q-Tip told Newsweek about the industry right now. Even without an outrageous number of marketing campaigns, Q-Tip's The Renaissance was still able to reach the Number 11 spot on the Billboard Top 200 chart. "Their model for getting numbers is broken," Q-Tip explained. "They realize it, but they don't have any solutions. They all seem shook. A&R departments need people who really know music. That way, they can make records that last a long time, because eventually it's going to be about the whole catalog selling again. Esp...

Photo from SOHH The Whole Delivery's long overdo first "music thread" of 2009, the always real perspective on exposing the BS of the music industry, as well as providing you with wonderful sentiments from the music news given to you. Despite every rumors indicating that Jennifer Hudson was going to sing at President-elect Barack Obama's inauguration, the opposite is the actual truth . She won't be singing there instead. TWD sends its condolences for the death of Stooges guitarist Ron Asheton . The Listen Interscope Records maybe happy to see Eminem and 50 Cent have new songs, but in today's "The Listen", they aren't much to gloat about at all. Dre comes a little okay in Em's "Crack A Bottle", but both songs are respectively lower versions of their more acclaimed hits. "I Ge It In" wants to be "In Da Club", and "Crack A Battle", for him having a long layoff, just doesn't stick out for a single. It w...

Yes, It has come to this. The 2008 worst song of the year is actually two worst songs. It was a tough decision, but first, Soulja Boy gets his own seperate award for Marco Polo. It was so bad that it had Bow Wow in it, and that certified how it would have been an injustice to the other songs. Nothing was as bad as this: But, the Cacophony Award goes to: Summertime - New Kids On The Block Yup, New Kids on the Block. Happy New Year everyone.

The suggestions have all come in, and the choice will be made tomorrow. Tune into The Whole Delivery to see who will be the winner of the inaugural Cacophony Award, the worst song for 2008. Peace!

With the Christmas tree in the opening scene, and a few of the decorations in the video's background, it was fitting that today's throwback video is the tearjerking classic from Jagged Edge called "Promise". The video,filmed eight years ago at around this time, is always a joy for both R&B fans and supporters of other genres. And for this week, it is the Flashback throwback on TWD Weekend. So enjoy "Promise" from Jagged Edge.

Another R&B Christmas classic from 1993, here's Boyz II men with "The Birth of Christ."

Take it back to 1993, for Christmas video number three, here is TLC's "Sleigh Ride."
