I can't tell if she's just fucking around. Or if she's serious... but either way this is kind of dumb.


How can folks think she needs money? you see that jewelery she is wearing? shit probably costs more than 6 months rent at my apartment complex. And just a few months ago she had a grill in her mouth. That shit didn't look cheap...


I'm struggling to find the point here. All I seeing is a famous and clearly well-off woman (look at those chainsssss) who is either a terrible, terrible busker or one who is poking fun at people who actually busk for their living. Either way, she just looks bad.

Is she just desperate for attention now? just a few months ago there was the reporter incident.

For the few that don't know. She ''pranked'' a news reporter by coming and acting crazy while he was being filmed. And she reposted that shit like 20 times in 4 days. And made sure that it went viral.

Then there was the whole Flaming Lips thing. Where she agreed to be naked in their video. Then got mad when... they released the video. After she agreed to be naked in it

WTF is up with her? i do love her and all. But she needs to make another album or something. Cause she seems way too desperate for attention these days.

Singing is a job?

If Badu had gone on Twitter or Facey and been like "i'll be in time square sangin for quarters" it'd have been a MADHOUSE and she'd probably had gotten herself arrested for DTP.

I have to think this is some kind of joke, or stunt, which she is no stranger to. I think it's kinda funny. She made 3 dollars and 6 dimes

This.

It couldn't possibly that it's a two pronged self promotion and pointing to a larger cause...no, it couldn't...

..everything has to be surface and face-value level with (certain) posters here...

She's awesome!

All I know is Badu promised three albums New Amerykah Part 1, 2, 3 to be released in one year (2008) and the last one we saw, Part 2, was 2010. I am damn thirsty for new Erykah!!

I think the sista was bored and wanted some fresh air...

so she took to the street to try an experiment just to see

how long it really takes to "sing for ya supper"...

and after all was said and done, homegirl got a sorbet!

is that Eddie Kendricks I hear?

Making Demos for New Amerykah 3?
