    VIDEO: Rick Ross x Erykah Badu – Window Seat (Remix)

    We all know that Rick Ross is winning but I’ve always thought that the paring of Rozay and Ms. Badu was an interesting combination. Somehow it’s pulled off here in this video from Creative Control. Not as Epic as the first video mind you, but entertaining in that weird sort of way.

    Review: Various Artists – Dillanthology Vol 1

    Various Artists Dillanthology Vol 1 Is this a money grab? That’s the only thing I could think of when I saw this Dillanthology CD arrive in my mailbox. Unlike most Dilla projects, which focus on rare and unreleased material, this latest Dilla compilation deals with tracks we already know, in a sort of “greatest hits” [...]

    Erykah Badu and My Morning Jacket?

    I’ve never really been too keen on the indie band My Morning Jacket, but they’ve been going around to concerts covering Erykah Badu’s “Tyrone,” for their summer tours. Badu apparently got word of this, and decided to roll through one of their concerts in Dallas. It takes sheer balls for an R&B singer to show [...]

    Review: Erykah Badu – New Amerykah Part One (4th World War)

    Erykah Badu New Amerykah, Pt. 1: 4th World War When I first heard the track “The Healer” on Erykah Badu’s 4th full length album, I thought that homegirl had lost it. Even though the track was set to a dope Madlib beat, and is probably the best head nodders in a long time, it sounded [...]
