Real Quick: My friend and yours, Co.Fee, who's part of the My Hollow Drum crew, just sent us a suh-weet remix of an Erykah Badu song called Soldier. You can check out their spinnin' nights and sessions here. Lastly get the Wu Tang remixes project for free here. Soldier (Co.Fee Remix)
Last week we had the pleasure of attending Erykah Badu’s gig in Paris, after the show we were invited backstage for an intimate Q&A with the lady herself.She discussed various topics including her inspirations, the difference between European & American audiences, the Internet, her spirituality, Michael Jackson & much more. PinBoard EXCLUSIVE: Erykah Badu Q&A from [...]
So excited to hear that JANELLE MONAE will be joining ERYKAH BADU, August 4th at the beach at Governors Island in NYC. I can only imagine the craziness that occurs when these two take the stage together!Tickets are available via Ticketmaster!
To me, Erykah Badu has always been slept on. Maybe it's my age but, you never hear too much about what this great woman is up to. This album New Amerykah is the only Eryka Badu album I own. I know she has many but I'm working my way backwards. I was drawn to it because it is produced by Madlib, one of my favorite creators to listen to. Few can put together sounds as eliquent and soulful as he e...
It's no secret that Dallas native Erykah Badu is a fixture at just about every respectable hip-hop show that rolls through town. I've seen her join in on performances by Outkast, Digable Planets, Common, the Roots , and others over the last 10 years or so. But if I would've known that Ms. Badu was going to show up at the Palladium last night to help out on My Morning Jacket 's cover of her live...
It was a dark and stormy night...actually it was only windy, but ominous clouds were in the air,whenThe Roots and Erykah Badu were set to take stage in Norfolk, VA.The show started at 8, and I arrived sometime around 8:30.The Roots had taken already stage, and had enlisted one hell of a sousaphone player, "Tuba Gooding Jr." to join the crew.The highlight of their set for me was a take on "You G...
As the opener to her fourth studio album New Amerykah, Pt. 1 (4th World War), “Amerykahn Promise” encompasses the full flavor that Erykah Badu has to offer this time around. Without much singing from Badu, the song brings us a 1970s funk vibe, complete with wailing police sirens and an announcer’s voice promising “more action, more excitement, more everything.” Just as the music dies dow
--- - |- Erykah Badu is back and better than ever. I missed her big afro and funky voice. Her album oozes soul, beautiful rifts, societal protest and marijuana (mm). I would best describe her new album as lauryn hill meets radiohead. Besides a jazzy, hip hop, sultry vibe this album still screams Badu circa 1990s, which is a always good. I recommend sitting (high or not) and listening... you ...

Yes, I'm looking at YOU Mr. Augusts1. :)I'll multiply it (complete with instrumental and a capella) whenever my computer stops actin' all stank!Oh, and no, the photo doesn't have anything at all to do with the song. Nice tits though.UPDATE: Multiplied at http://troypowers.multiply.com/music/item/648/Erykah_Badu_-_Honey.
Erykah Badu created quite a buzz this week, unfortunately not about New Amerykah Part 2 (Return of the Ankh) which was rumoured to be coming out July 29th. No, the latest attention is focused on her third pregnancy with her third baby daddy without a marriage ceremony. I thought we lived in a more progressive age where this kind of thing would hardly be newsworthy, or at least an age of nucle...
Finally getting around to mogging about seeing Erykah again with Mos Def headlining & Jay Electronica opening for them, September 3rd in San Francisco at Davies Symphony Hall. I was surprised Erykah was playing San Francisco so quickly after her amazing headlining back in June. All I knew was that I HAD to see her again!Now, I haven't been much of a Mos Def fan until I got his 'The Ecstatic' al...
