Fuck Jill Scott. She's the smiling, fat black lady that sings about love and non threatening things. She's exactly the same bullshit kind of black artist the white american music honchos want you to listen to. Thats why she's embraced by the industry. Its called 'The Mammy Syndrome' and its exactly what Miles hated about Satchmo. Erykah is strong, funky and has an actually message within her lyrics which is why you'll never see 'Bag Lady' on mtv in the states.

Wait I thought her very first single, "On & On" was a big pop hit as well? Plus, what was up with ILM and hating R&B/pop artist back in the early 2000s? I read old threads and people were just blindly hateful. Now that hatred is directed towards "indie" bands now.

this is awesome
After that, Curtis goes, ‘Did you study the song?’ I’m like, ‘No…I didn’t study…I was just going to feel it.’ And that wasn’t the answer he wanted to hear. As a matter of fact, that session created the line when I said on New Amerykah 2, ‘Do you have that number to that other bass player?’ Well, Curtis Mayfield said that to someone in the session while the bass player was actually there! Everybody in the studio was quiet. Curtis Mayfield demanded excellence.”

don't like whatever they do to her voice on that track, too metallic sounding.

Annie (Don't Wear No Panties) is apparently no longer part of New Amerykah Part 3, but instead a song by a supergroup called Edith Funker, consisting of ?uestlove, Erykah, Wendy & Lisa and some other folk. Recorded version is pretty neat.
― Alex in Montreal, Wednesday, 23 February 2011 08:49 (thirteen years ago) link
AWESOME, have been wanting this song to emerge for a while
― lex pretend, Wednesday, 23 February 2011 09:28 (thirteen years ago) link
Apparently it emerged almost a year ago and we all missed it?
― Alex in Montreal, Wednesday, 23 February 2011 09:57 (thirteen years ago) link
i know right i just saw the date on that blog post! how is it possible to have missed something like this.
― lex pretend, Wednesday, 23 February 2011 10:03 (thirteen years ago) link
Again. I feel the need to stress.
James Poyser, Erykah + ?uest = part of the best neo-soul funk line up ever (minus Bilal and D'Angelo).Wendy & Lisa (responsible for substantial amounts of classic-era prince?)

as the support act surely she can't be 2 hours late as usual though. surely
does anyone know if there is to be a full length Edith Funker release,as that track really hits my current pleasure spots.

"as the support act surely she can't be 2 hours late as usual though. surely"um, you're talking about erykah BADU right? She gets going when she wants to get going.
