Here's also a vid of Erykah doing the song 'The Healer' live with her new band The Cannabinoids at SXSW this year:
Still no news on the horizon of when 'New Amerykah, Part Two: Return Of The Ankh' will be released. It's been delayed TOO LONG. Come on Erykah, I'm waiting(as well as tons of other folks too)!

I love the time speedy uppy video thingy.
It's pretty awesome innit?!
way cool august, sweet find! Are you going to get one or did cochella dry up the pocket book. BTW, word on the street is you are the nicest guy anyone has ever met here on mog. Makes me want to book that ticket for nexts years concert!
Wow Augustus...how do you find these tid-bits of info <oxymoronic>. This is great, bruh.
Well Kev,at $1,000-3,000 a pop that would be a no go! And those hookers on the street don't count as far as opinions go since I pay them, so they better say I'm nice @;P. The rumors aren't true, I'm the meanest mofo I know, but come to Coachella next year anyway tripbro.
Supreme, I happen to be a member of Erykah's online marketing team, so that's one of the places I get my info. okayplayer.com is another and other moggers too. How ya doing? Good to see you.
I love the painting, love the graffitti feel to it. Reminds me of one of my favourite local artists, Joshua Petker's work.
And you are the meanest mogger I've ever met...for sure :-P Even the hookers say so!
xox
His work does have a graffiti feel to it, now that you mention it. I'll have to look up Joshua on the intarweb.
'And you are the meanest mogger I've ever met . . . ' my reputation is getting around. Maybe soon I'll have no friends, 'cept them damn hookers!(And they just want my money @;P) xoxoxoxo
Those damn hookers are hard to shake, they follow you everywhere, spread rumors and take all your money - but they have the best stories.:P
I think you'd like Joshua's work.
xoxoxo
Hookers are the worst but their stories are great!
I just checked out his website http://www.joshuapetker.com/paintings.php His work is interesting but it's way too girl-centric. I'd like it more if he varied his subjects away from young girls. Thanks for the headsup on him though.
Ah yes, I can see that, point well taken.
On the hookers, as well. Heh.
Joshua's work reminds me alot of Andy Warhol.
Kev....August is a bastard.
The meanest Erykah Badu lovin' bastard you've ever done met.
And when he doesn't get his good coffee....the gloves come off.
(I am terrified of him....)
Badu-licious! Wish I had the pocket change to afford a print. Guess I'll just have to enjoy the virtual version.
awesome time lapse! thats an amazing picture. do you know how long it actually took him to paint it?
Guess I was wrong, you sound like a real prick!
*Annie* thanks for backing me up! I am a real bastard, you guys who went to Coachella didn't know what to do with me. I could tell you were terrified of me 'cause we hung out together so much @;P
*LMI* hiya! I totally agree. I'd love to have one of those. I do have a couple of small posters(not of that painting) w/Erykah's autograph though.
*Sam* I have no idea how long it took him to do that. I'd like to know too.
*Kev* see, I told you! Whoever you got your info. from was misinformed. @;P
so dope! good find, august. i think i need a painting of her, or any other hero as equally inspirational, to get me into my daily groove :)
Way dope B! Thx, cool you are finding it inspirational. I aims ta please @;P
done checking shit out. good shit, good shit. dug the time lapse vid as well ... artsy-fartsying on speed.
but wait! ...waa a ai i iit... August is a mean bastard???
Aug, do i bring protective claws with me when i ever come meet you?
Augustus is my 'FWEND' leave him alone <fade into evil cackling>
Ilay, yes, you best bring the claws to counteract my FANGS! The time lapse is very cool, figured you'd dig it since you're an artsy fartsy type.
Awwww, shuuuuddup Supreme, you are evil & must be destroyed now, hehe.
Oh wow..I saw this poster on her website but I did not realize there was an actually painting.
I wonder the size of the canvas and what type of paint was used.
Reason why I am curious is that I went to the Affordable Art Fair here in NYC and there were paintings that were not in oil but in another method. See here:
