Hey y'all, since I know there are so many Me'shell fans on this site, I thought I'd post the latest info. that I swiped from the best Me'shell site on the web (in my opinion, and besides her own site, that is). The following was reported on http://www.bashirshakur.org/ (bashirshakur.org)

I've seen her perform this new material Live, and as always, she's off the CHAIN! I already emailed NPGMC with my request for her to be a performer at Paisley this June. Esp. with her album coming out then... I'm crossing my fingers!

100 days: Nearly a year following the day it was turned into Maverick as a completed work (July 30, 2001), a release date for Cookie: The Anthropological Mixtape has been approved by Maverick/WBR and announced by Me'Shell's manager: June 4, 2002.

The first single, Pocketbook will be sent to clubs on March 22, and to radio April 23. The Rockwilder/Missy Misdemeanor Elliott remix of Pocketbook, which features rhymes by Redman, has already been put to video & should be put into rotation by MTV & BET sometime in late April, early May. The Ben Watt Lazy Dog remix of Earth has already been released to clubs.

since the topic was moved, i'll add my response again. for those of you that have bashirshakur.org bookmarked, delete your bookmark & add the site below. (bashirshakur.org is going to expire soon.)

P.S. You have good tastes in music NeptunEos (Not just Me’Shell.)

This truly sucks considering the original release date back when I saw her in December was March 12th.

I wonder what's taking so long to get it out. The new stuff I heard at her show was incredible. Incidentally, I'm going to see Nikka Costa tonight.

Cannot wait!

as a prince fan, you should already know this.

warner bros.

they used to do this all the time with his records (delays, etc)

since 'peace beyond passion,' her albums have either been delayed, turned down completely, and delayed again.

the first release date for cookie was fall of 2001.

she turned the disc in on july 30, 2001 to maverick/wbr.

so, nearly a year later, maverick will release it on june 4.

even more disturbing than the delays, is that last november maverick sent out promotional copies to their usual outlets (the ones that never play her). therefore, as early as last november, copies began popping up on ebay - and for a short period of time it was available on the internet.

it looks as if it's found it's way back on to the internet - likely due to "buy it now" auctions that ended on ebay before they were shut down by maverick.

name another artist that gets this treatment.

another funny thing is that since february, magazines have been publishing reviews of cookie.

i don't think they'll be reprinting the reviews in june when the album comes out.

how's that for wonderful marketing? and the record industry wonders why it fails more often than it succeeds.

sigh...

Thanks for the info, that'll be two days b4 my birthday!

Awwwww, what a nice, cool present fer me to me, heehee!

peace!

The three songs i've heard off of the album are great. I can't wait until I get to hear the whole thing. I believe that Me'Shell should go the independent route so she can do her thang without record label interferance.
