Humpday Hymn: Raury – “Devil’s Whisper” (Live Colbert Performance)

Posted on September 23, 2015July 13, 2016 by Siya

Handclaps. Check. Hook with dope response. Check. Donald Trump in the building? YUP. Colbert invitation? I’ll take it!

That’s how this humpday hymn landed on our blog, and in your FACE. It’s also all the young Atlanta prodigy needed to completely own the moment. Raury made the statement Colbert seemed too overwhelmed by the Donald to make to his face. Was it a coincidence for him to be musical guest on THIS night? Was it irony that his selection was a number about the devil whispering to him about how rich he is and will literally turn everything he touches to gold if he just sells his ~~vote~~ soul AS Donald Trump was backstage? Sure… these freaky things happen. But, what Raury does for Stephen even at the end is worth watching:

Stephen, you better RUNNN!

“…sometimes you might judge a person by the way they look – you have to look at their personality, and a Blind person has to pay very close attention to that“

THERE HE IS! In a Suit! Lookin sharper than a tac! Still no word on what those kimono-ponchos are we asked about when he tried to drive in Carpool Karaoke. Anyone? PLEASE COMMENT, or tweet us! On a thoughtful note to end this clock-filled week by “little Stevie”.

Humpday Hymn: Gnarls Barkley – “Transform” (Live Abbey Road Strip Down)

Before Killer Mike teamed up with El-P to form Run The Jewels duo, another dungeon family pulled the trick first. Cee-Lo Green “the soul machine” teamed up with eccentric dj/producer Danger Mouse to form “Gnarls Barkley”. Their smash hit – off the album St. Elsewhere – “Crazy” was crowned 2009 Rolling Stone’s “Best Song Of The Decade”. On that same album this fast paced chase through synths cities by screeching ninja squirrels was soundtracked by the euphoric vocals of the Soul Machine himself along with his poetic narration. They strip away the chaos at Abbey Road for your humpday hymn:
