Watch Erykah Badu Perform New Single
Erykah Badu was on Jimmy Fallon Live, last night. I was so caught up in yesterday’s Sleigh Bells commotion I missed it. Luckily I’ve found a clip of her performing “Window Seat,” her first single from her upcoming album, New Amerykah Park II: Return of the Ankh, out later this month.
If you’re wondering why Erykah looks so comfortable in her swim cap and (p)leather leotard/top-hat ensemble, it might have something to do with the fact that Fallon’s house band is The Roots – a band she has performed with many times. ?uestlove, the band’s drummer, beats beats on the studio version of the song.
As always, Badu gives a flawless performance. Enjoy!

Andre 3000 Drops New Single – “I Do”
about 1 year ago - No comments
Flamboyantly eccentric Outkast emcee Andre 3000 (“…Benjamin Andre to be exact…”) just did us all a big fucking favor when he dropped his latest single “I Do” on the Internets. Hopefully this means a solo album will be here soon. The track is midtempo soulful jam smooth as honey with its Lenny Williams sample and serves as a great contrast to Big Boi’s more upbeat fair from his recent release.
This is one of those tracks you should just pause whatever else you’re listening to that’s not THIS and DIVE IN! You can find the track right after the jump.
N.E.R.D. Drops New Single, Announces New Album
about 1 year ago - No comments
Virginia funk-rock trio N.E.R.D. have just released “Hot N Fun”, the first single off the the trio’s fourth album Nothing, due June 15th on Star Trak. The song shares more in common with the group’s earlier work, easing into a mid-tempo bass groove early in the song and staying there. This is the N.E.R.D. of sitting back and lighting up, not that of stage diving and mosh pits. Either way, I’m happy to take N.E.R.D. however they come and strongly encourage you to do the same.

Janelle Monae’s dropped a new video on us. This time the meticulously coiffed singer and Big Boi welcome us to The Palace of The Dogs, an asylum whose residents have been forbidden to dance for its subversive effects. That is, until Janelle Monae came through with her unique brand of old-school inspired funk complete with classy brass.

The Ankh has returned! Erykah Badu celebrated Tuesday’s release of her latest album, New Amerykah Part Two: The Return of the Ankh, by performing “Window Seat” on “Jimmy Kimmel Live.” At this point, I’ve seen her perform this song three different times, and I can honestly say that performance is my favorite of the three.
Watch: Erykah Badu Takes It All Off In “Window Seat” Video

The Erykah Badu hype machine is in full effect! The singer has just released the video for her first single, “Window Seat” from the upcoming LP, New Amerykah Part Two: The Return of the Ankh, which comes out TOMORROW! Best believe I’ll be buying it LEGALLY on iTunes as soon as the clock strikes midnight. “Window Seat” is arguably one of Badu’s best videos, certainly one of her most creative.
Filmed in one take in Dallas’ Dealy Plaza (site of the JFK assassination), “Window Seat” features Badu walking through the streets removing every single article of her clothing, climaxing with a great statement on conformity at the end. Whether you’re an Erykah fan or not, I strongly suggest you watch this video and draw some inspiration from it.
Watch: Erykah Badu Performs “Window Seat” on Wendy Williams

The Erykah Badu hype machine is in full effect. Her latest album New Amerykah Part Two: The Return of the Ankh hits stores on Tuesday. The singer recently dropped a video with Lil Wayne, appeared on Jimmy Fallon, and even leaked her own track on her website. The singer has even taken time out of her busy schedule to show some love to your favorite blogger.
Yesterday I posted a link to a new song which I’m almost entirely certain is on the new album. Today I bring you footage of the singer’s live appearance on The Wendy Williams show, a performance in which, Badu later admitted on her Twitter, she forgot the words to the first verse. I don’t think anyone minds.

With less than a week to go before Erykah Badu’s latest album New Amerykah Pt. 2: The Return of The Ankh, hits the streets, it’s no surprise that tracks are beginning to leak. Check out this remix-like creation of Junior M.A.F.I.A.’s 90′s posse jam, Get Money.
Watch Usher Video “Lil Freak” Featuring Nicki Minaj
about 1 year ago - 4 comments
Ladies and gentlemen, Usher is finally in the building. After his creatively questionable mea culpa “Guilty” hit the streets a couple weeks ago, I was worried that Usher would no longer be a relevant force in pop music. Thankfully his newest video for “Lil Freak” featuring Nicki Minaj shows us the R&B crooner still has a pulse. The song features a nice beat with a sample from one of my favorite Stevie Wonder songs, “Golden Lady” “Living For The City.” (Thanks for the correction, Mia.) Continuing his legacy of celebrity exhibitionism, this time Usher reveals his love of threesomes. Lil Wayne protege Niki Minaj also brings the fire with her freaky bisexual flow. I guess they don’t call her Nikki Minaj for ‘nothin. Usher’s Raymond vs. Raymond drops next week.
