Really enjoyed this collaboration about the oil spill.

Cool tune - thanks for sharing! The lyrics are great! (From http://preshall.blogspot.com/)

Mama ya don’t say, uh

Oil and water don’t mix

Petrolio don’t go good with no fish

Aw, it ain’t my fault

BP, big pimpin, big problem, bad presence

Billionaire pirate, boiling point, burst pressure

Aw, it ain’t my fault

Say man, who pushed the marshes back ?

Where’s the hurricane shelter and the garden at?

Aw, it ain’t my fault

Said, from the gulf of Mexico to the broke levee wall

Something gone wrong and it’s somebody’s fault

Aw, it ain’t my fault

Scripture says, it say they go to rock to hide they face

And the rock cried out no hiding place

Say, they go to rock to hide they face

And the rock cried out no hiding place

Say, they go to rock to hide they face

And the rock cried out no hiding place

Oh lord, oh lord, it ain’t my fault

OW!

Lord have mercy!

Aw, it ain’t my fault

This is part of my gospel song,

Say they go to rock to hide they face

And the rock cried out no hiding place

Say they go to rock to hide they face

And the rock cried out no hiding place

Say they go to rock to hide they face

And the rock cried out no hiding place

Oh lord, oh lord, it ain’t my fault

OW!

Aw, it ain’t my fault

This is part of my gospel song,

Aw, it ain’t my fault

It ain’t my fault

It ain’t my fault

oh man, those horns

and does anyone else think that mos def would be like, the coolest guy ever, to hang out with?

Yeah I agree about the similarities but the joint is still a good listen!

Where's the LIKE button?

Cuz I do!

And are any of you following HBO's Treme? Cuz if you ain't, you should.

I'm going to have to catch it on Demand because when it first aired I didn't have HBO. I got it again so that I could see True Blood but Treme has me curious. I'm definitely not missing out on that new series coming to HBO in September with the guy who was "Tony B." in the Sopranos...gosh I can't think of the actor's name right now.

both this version and the silkk the shocker song are based upon the 1964 song "it ain't my fault" by wardell quezergue and joseph "smokey" johnson. the original is a nola standard. hence the similarities.

I dig it.

Thanks.
