The fuck is this no sense thread about? The content does not seem to match up with the title. Anyway, I've said it before... Erykah needs to get off her stoned arse and give us some product. My ears and money are waiting.

.

Another thing, the next time she comes to the UK she better have some new tricks up her sleeve. The Usain Bolt moves after every fucking song and the drum machine solo are tired as old shit.

LOL! I thought it was just ME! Good! It's NOT! I thought it was a Badu thread, but then I'm reading Janet Jackson stuff and had 2 scroll back up 2 make sure! Badu is a master poetess, artist, vocalist extraordinaire and Neo-Soul ROYALTY in MY book anyway. Can't WAIT 4 a new album! "4th World War" was aMAZING and "Return of the Ankh," JUST AS amazing! smile

Hungry? Just look in the mirror and get fed up.

No one in the New York streets is checking for a crackapella, whether it's Badu, Brandy, or a total random (of which there are several). Her concerts go off just fine.

As in the behavior of a crack smoker, which can also be found in New York streets, combined with the fact they want to sing randomly in public with no music. Artists should never expect the same reception to a crackapella as from an organized performance. I mightas well just add this to Urban Dictionary now.

im so sorry erykah. i posted this wack ass thread i was pissed you cancelled no tweet, and the top tweet was a "Lol" about something to do with white men. whatevs. I love you. 39 times you made it! It's my 34 bday tomorrow and i can't go into mid thirties-hood mad ad the baddest.

"I am one with the all expanding and the all is a part of me. I can be all that I wish, and be all expanding as long as my wish is to stay inside of the all expanding"

I expand to apologize ... maybe at some point you'll expand by acknowedging the cancelled date. Who gives a fuck it's a casino? Own it ? You miss badu. "They can't fucc with you like that."

Hotline bling still amazing.

I'll leave it alone babe...just be me

Erykah Badu Says She's Releasing Her New Mixtape Next Week, Debuting One-Woman Show This Week

On Drake/Meek Mill beef: "Loved it. That’s what hip-hop is about to me."

By Jeremy Gordonon October 27, 2015 at 11:36 a.m. EDT

Erykah Badu Says She's Releasing Her New Mixtape Next Week, Debuting One-Woman Show This Week

Photo by Trent Maxwell

At the beginning of October, Erykah Badu dropped "HOTLINE BLING BUT U CAINT USE MY PHONE MIX", a remix of Drake's "Hotline Bling" that she said would appear on a forthcoming mixtape called But You Caint Use My Phone. (The title is a reference to her 1997 track "Tyrone".) In an interview with Noisey, Badu said the mixtape will be released next week. She didn't offer any details, but said "the usual suspects" would be involved.

Elsewhere in the interview, she offered thoughts on Drake and Meek Mill's recent feud. "Loved it," she said. "That’s what hip-hop is about to me. I liked that. That’s the way we’re supposed to handle it! I encourage it."

On October 29-31, Badu will debut "Live Nudity", a one-woman show, at Dallas' Black Academy of Arts and Letters. She said the show will be largely improvised. "I have a format, kind of, but I haven’t really had time to write a 60-minute show, so we just have to see what happens," she said."

"It's not biographical," she said in a separate interview with Guide Live. "It's kind of stream-of-consciousness. I'm a pretty spontaneous artist." She said she had booked prospective performances in New York and Los Angeles theaters, but that she "chickened out."

She continued: "The title really expresses the pure honesty of my many personas. And we're not going to let you know if I'll actually be nude or not -- you're going to have to come see."

Badu will also host the Soul Train Music Awards, airing on BET and Centric on November 29.

She is supposed to headline the New Year's Eve festival in Columbia SC this year. I'm interested to see how that turns out. In previous years it's been the O'Jays,
Kool& The Gang,and Parliament-Funkedelic. I wish like hell it was Erykah Badu.

It's always outdoors. Yeah Chicago is a mess. I had a co worker from Chicago who
went back to visit and she was in some store shopping and someone opened fire
in he store. She got down on the ground and the shooter ran off. She said she had
never been that scared in her life. Believ me when I tell you Charlotte is not that far behind. Probably just as much shooting but a little behind in murder rate.

Still love her since day one.

But....WTF is this thread really about?

lol

A cancelled concert? Her drug use? The new mixtape?

And did she really say that she didn´t do drugs? I thought she was quite open about her fondness of weed, or did I get that wrong?

I like all her albums but I think the last two, albeit good, were a little bit too sketchy and not very memorable in terms of melodies, but still good albums with deep lyrics.

Can´t wait for her mixtape to be released.

" I´d rather be a stank ass hoe because I´m not stupid. Oh my goodness! I got more drugs! I´m always funny dude...I´m hilarious! Are we gonna smoke?"

Agreed, KoolEaze. I've been on her team since I first heard "oh my my my".


She is a character and her creativity is evident. She has such a warm spirit and undeniable presence on stage regardless of who she may be performing with. I love that her social media posts can be deep, hilarious, or interesting like her backyard bathtub garden. Her shit is identifiable usually due to her unique personality. But not everything about her is lightness - "Danger" is such a powerful song, for instance.

If she's on some "drugs" that somehow make her so endearing to me... I kinda wanna try lol y'all starting to sound like Nancy Reagan.
