THIS RIGHT HERE??
E. Badu has got me open again. I've been running the heck out of her new single for the past few days... and i haven't gotten tired of it yet. Something about Erykah's pathos speaks to me. And of course, the music itself is aural pleasure. Questlove on drums... james poyser(who i had the pleasure of meeting several times) on the keys, im just feeling the entire groove.
She has officially reached muse status. I had to rock a huge fro this past weekend in homage. lol. im corny that way. Of course i had to tone it down the hair this morning for "the man." But, i did go in naked. *raises fist* lol
Most of you have seen the video already (and something else... woosah! Talk about donks??? GO ERYKAH! lol ) but i had to post it anyway. Oh and if anyone wants to discuss the perils of groupthink i'd be down to dialog. lol :-) Also, what are you guys opinions of the song/video?
So over the weekend i had the pleasure of being surrounded by musicians... and i'm incredibly inspired. Lots of talent, im hoping it rubs off. Im just in a musical afterglow at the moment...
(oh and did i mention my brother was one of the producers on the new Donwill LP? Donwill of "Tanya Morgan" Fame. A dope rap group and even better, a GREAT group of down to earth guys. Donwill is mad chill. the LP is getting great reviews too - as well as my brother's production. woo hoo!)
I don't really have much else to say, but im just so into Erykah's new single that i had to blog about it. lol.
Oh... and the video may be a little NSFW - so to get your Badu fix, watch this instead. She's performing Otherside of the Game live. Chris "Daddy" Dave on drums (met him and he is just awesome) funky and soulful. I can never get enough of this song...

I love the song and I really admire her bravery to actually shoot the video. I read an interview where she talked about the meaning behind it...
The song is great, the video is original, the ass is fantastic, and the uncut version will trump them all. If you REALLY like the video Lex, you will let your competitive spirit take over, and you'll try to one up it.
Congrats to you little bro.
