Reporter Gave Playful Erykah Badu ‘The NYC Push Back’ For Trying To Steal A Kiss (Video)

Pix11 reporter Mario Diaz expected to report on the day’s top news story. Sure. But some strange woman trying to sneak a kiss? What!!?? Diaz was probably like

Lady, I’m working over here. We’re live on air. I’m famous in the city and on top of that and you think you gone walk up and kiss…? Ha! Take this forearm to the breastplate and get the f—…

Oh… it’s sexy soulful singer-song writer Erykah Badu wanting to play kissy face with…me?? And *gulp* I…I… pushed her away?

DAMN DAMN DAAAAAAAMN!

(Well, dude later tweeted his wife was nearby by. See after the jump. Maybe he scored some points with her on some not-even-Baduism-over-you-baby ish. Hahaaaaa!)

Erykah Badu x Hi-Tek – “Honey” (Duncan Gerow Blend)

BamaLoveSoul gave much love and propers to Alaska-based producer, Duncan Gerow, for his latest Erykah Badu / Hi-Tek blend. We give respect to BamaLoveSoul for sharing the wealth and bringing this jewel of a joint to our attention. FREE download below!

Gerow skillfully places Badu’s vocals over one of my favorite Hi-Tek produced beats. It quickly reminded me that Erykah actually did do an official remix to Reflection Eternal‘s lead single “The Blast” but I always felt like I got robbed a little bit cause all she was relegated to were hook duties. So to hear this blend gives my imagination free license to wander/wonder a bit as to what she could have done on this track with a little more leash and leg room.

R&B: Erykah Badu – “On & On” (Booty Fade Remix)

Lan2 85

Very dope remix. So many ways I could go with the title for this “Booty Fade Remix” of Erykah Badu’s “On & On.” But I’ll just chill to this track instead. For now. I reserve the right to come back at that booty later. Ha!

Could Kendrick Lamar and Erykah Badu Be ‘Making A Connection?’ (Video)

Maybe NY’s Hot 97 radio personality Rosenberg is burying Kendrick Lamar’s career a bit prematurely. But… looking into those eyes of Erykah Badu… holding her hand… maybe other stuff… it can change an emcee. Andre. Common Sense. Just saying. Check the BET performance after the jump and witness the cause of Rosenberg’s lamentations after the jump.

Janelle Monáe – “Q.U.E.E.N.” feat. Erykah Badu (Video)

The beautiful Janelle Monáe & Erykah Badu are two women in the music industry I respect for always exhibiting a higher level of creativity & quality within their art & music. I was excited about their collaboration appropriately titled “Q.U.E.E.N.” that we posted about a week ago but now fans are being blessed with a brand new video for the new single directed by Alan Ferguson. Be on the lookout for Janelle Monáe’s upcoming album “The Electric Lady” this year! Yeah…. the booty don’t lie

Janelle-Monae-Erykah-BaduAtlanta based shining star Janelle Monáe is gearing up to release her new project “The Electric Lady” this year. The first new single called ‘Q.U.E.E.N.’ couldn’t have been a more appropriate title with her collaborating with another music ‘Queen’ in Erykah Badu.

They Die By Dawn (Movie Trailer)

Nice Black Western coming up! “They Die By Dawn” stars Erykah Badu, Michael K. Williams, Rosario Dawson, Giancarlo Esposito and Isaiah Washington. Jeymes Samuel directs what is sure to be a good look for the massive movie ticket and popcorn taxes they hit you with at theaters. Not cheap… just saying… spending hard-earned money sucks more when the movie sucks. Doesn’t look like that’ll be a problem with this flick. Look at Erykah Badu flex with the shottie. Nice!

Robert Glasper — “Afro Blue” ft. Erykah Badu (9th Wonder’s Blue Light Basement RMX feat. Phonte)

Jazz keyboardist Robert Glasper teamed with soul songstree Erykah Badu on a jazzy cut to show that Houston is definitely in the house! Well, why not bring in 9th Wonder to remix it and Phonte to bless it with a lyric… you know, to drop some North Carolina flavor on it? Okay DONE! Here is the result: a smooth Hip-Hop redux of the song by Glasper and Badu. Stream the “Afro Blue” remix, and pre-order your copy of “Black Radio Recovered (The Remix EP)” by Robert Glasper (due out October 9, 2012) at the links provided here.

The Flaming Lips feat. Erykah Badu – ‘The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face’ (Video) [NSFW]

Saw a bunch of people on twitter talking about this video for The Flaming Lips & Erykah Badu remake of the Roberta Flack classic ‘The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face’. This video is definitely not safe for work as Erykah Badu’s sister Nayrock gets bucky nekkid in this this visually erotic yet odd artistic clip. I’m still not sure what to make of the video portrait although I do kinda dig the song. Check out the video but just a reminder that this is definitely NSFW!

R&B/Soul: Erykah Badu – Y’all Feel That: The BamaLoveSoul Remixes, Flips & Covers (Mixtape)

The good people over at BamaLoveSoul put together this dope collection of Erykah Badu remixes, flips, & cover joints mixed by DJ Rahdu. As a huge Erykah Badu fan I have to stand up & give a slow round of applause for this mix right here that features a great body of work that continues to inspire like Ms. Badu has been doing for us over 15 years. You can listen or download the complete project below….

R&B/Soul: Erykah Badu- “On & On” (Adi Dick Remix)

Erykah Badu is one of my favorite R&B/Soul artists without question & it’s hard not to be inspired by her work in some shape or form. Despite her concert being banned in Malaysia, it didn’t stop fans like Adi Dick who missed her show in New Zealand from being inspired enough to craft this pretty dope remix. Spotted this piece over BamaLoveSoul & I’ve had it on repeat a few times…On & On & On….

Robert Glasper Experiment EPK (Video)

Robert Glasper is set to release his “Black Radio” album that I’m very much looking forward to this February 28th. The album will be an infusion of Blues, Jazz, R&B, Hip Hop, Rock, & a variety of other ingredients that should musically define what “Black Radio” should be.  A few of the songs that leaked early featuring Erykah Badu, Musiq Soulchild, Chrisette Michele, & R&B trio King let’s me know that this is shaping up to be a very good project. This EPK of Robert Glasper was shot by our homie Cognito who now resides in Los Angeles….

Mark Ronson – “A La Modeliste” feat. Erykah Badu & Yasiin Bey

Mark Ronson assembles his crew of musicians including Erykah Badu & Mos Def Yasiin Bey for their contribution to the RE:GENERATION Project. RE:GENERATION is a documentary film that follows DJ Premier, Pretty Lights, The Crystal Method, Mark Ronson, and Skrillex as they remix, recreate and re-imagine five traditional styles of music. I’m diggin’ this joint right here, but who’s idea was it for this hook? Probably Erykah’s….Now that’s funky. hahaa!

Gods’illa- “Sal’s Pizzeria” (Video)

This is the new video from DMV representatives Gods’illa, from their CPR Blendtape hosted by Erykah Badu. “Sal’s Pizzeria” is a tribute to the classic Spike Lee joint “Do the Right Thing”. The CPR Blendtape was most definitely one of the best releases of 2011, which displayed these brotha’s abilities to spit content and substance over a variety of styles while maintaining a quality sound. I had the pleasure of meeting Gods’illa in 2010, and like I said then, these cats are going to do damage in the game for a long time, so get used to the name.Enjoy!
