Grrrr...To the bandwagon jumpers...
I don't like to discourage ppl from finding new sounds...
Shit...I LOVE to put ppl on to new sounds and I like for ppl to return the favor to me...shit, put me on to somethin new too brethren...
(Sidenote: returning the favor is ALWAYS the right thing to do!)
I digress.
Since Erykah's latest project Return of the Ankh...and Kelis's new vid Acapella...ppl have been jumping on the bandwagon HARD!
I don't mind ppl enjoying the art...but do some research damnit...just cuz ur new to their art doesn't mean the artist hasn't been doing this intellectual futuristic shit since the begining of time!
(under my breath) talking bout "This is a new sound and new look for Badu and Kelis"
(outside voice) No the eff its not!!!...different from these whack stagnant mediocre artists maybe...
but these two ladies have ALWAYS been on some next level shit!
Whats new?
Phew!(wipes sweat from brow)
(sigh) Ok...I'm calm now...
Hope you didn't mistake my disdain for the bandwagon jumpers for me sayin that these two beautiful artists don't produce eye opening material...They clearly DO!...
Its just that they produce the same caliber of eye openingness with every album they release...and they've BEEN doing that since they first came out!
Plus...Good shit is good shit...whether you look like an Avatar character...ahem Kelis...
or if you wanna walk the streets in your b'day suit like those french girls in that "Make the Girl Dance" video...ahem Badu...
Bottom line...they are dope artists and if you plan on jumping on the bandwagon now...know a lil somethin about the wagon you're jumping into...
Is it a station wagon...?
A lil red wagon...?
Shit ppl! Do some research!
THEN enjoy...
Enjoy...

AMEN!!! i couldnt agree more!!! there are so many people out there who havent been following kelis and erykah since the beginning so everything is coming as a shock to them now, but in reality kelis has always been a innovative force to reckon with and badu has always been an intellectual...when i watch their videos i truely see art...and i hate when ppl say kelis is copying gaga! LIKE C'MON REALLY?? KELIS DONT GIVE A F*CK BOUT GAGA...
