holy shit this New Amerykah Part One album is amazing. ILM schooled me on this, thx y'all

She's gonna do a few "Rock the Bells" tour dates in the US this summer

the Rock the Bells lineup is INSANE this year but I hate huge festival shows/corporate arena venues so I'm gonna pass

The Rock the Bells tour in the past had a DC area date but for 2011 so far all I see is NYC, San Francisco, LA and Boston

with Badu doing ‘Baduizm’in NYC and ?

id def pay to see her do mamas gun in full

yay shakey

it definitely feels like an extension of "Voodoo" in places

also lol @ Network monologue

Mama's Gun is next

Lowdown Loretta Brown Mixtape this month!!!!

!!!

suuuuuure

Ok, I mean, healthy skepticism is appropriate, but still excited.

New Amerykah feels worlds away from Voodoo imo

Yeah, v different (although both brilliant) albums.

ya thanks to ILM I too finally got around to listening to New Amerykah Part One and wowww.

did anyone see erykah in london last month? lex?

i didn't, i didn't know she was playing until about a day before and i was just too busy :(

yeah, i had to be across town that night too. the show i saw was pretty sublime but still i felt a pang of regret knowing i was missing an erykah show.

really enjoying the gods illa blendtape but not sure what badu had to do with it, beyond some voice overs.

I'm sure they're friends of hers and it's just a way of upping the profile of the thing

she's djing at les poisson rouge in nyc next month

presumably around the same time as rock the bells

she's doing something as Lo Down Loretta Brown here in SF in a few weeks at the Mezzanine, I think...? I won't be able to make it. also the flyer is terrible.

there's what sounds like a new badu/flylo track here, around 20:00 - http://www.gorillavsbear.net/2011/08/05/mp3-thundercat-shenanigans-pt-1-mixtape-mixed-by-flying-lotus/

The one after "Get Munny"? That's from Shafiq Husayn's album.

(Great track, btw.)

ah, thanks. never checked out that record.

The vocalist sounds a bit like Badu but it's Noni Limar.

There's an alt mix of that album's "Major Heavy" in the mix, too.

Shafiq En' A-Free-Ka is one of my favorite albums of the last few years.

Still sinking into it. It seems waaaaay denser than, for instance, Sa-Ra's last one.

"Dust & Kisses" seems by far its most accessible track.

Temporary hijack. I don't think Erykah would mind (seriously beautiful video):

I complete forgot about that Shafiq Husayn album but it is super dope.

thirded.

i much prefer it to the last sa ra album

Yeah.

I'm in love with Nuclear Evolution. I'm as of yet just intrigued by Shafiq En' A-Free-Ka.

GQ: What's next thing for you?
Erykah Badu: I'm recording an album right now, with [experimental music producer] Flying Lotus. I'm touring. But things are slowing down now 'cause my children are in school again. [Badu has three children: a son with Andre 3000; a daughter with rapper the D.O.C.; and a daughter with rapper Jay Electronica.] This is the time of year when we all nest in our little home in Dallas and cook breakfast and all those things we been doin' on tour, just in one place. I'm kind of a recluse when it comes to going outside.

GQ: How did you and Flying Lotus hook up?
Erykah Badu: We were talking to each other on MySpace years ago when MySpace was a thing. Social networking was how we hooked up. I told him I'd be in L.A. and he came over to Steve Wilson's house—Stevie is a psychedelic guitar player, a great musician. If both of our worlds can meet and we feel good about it, it's going to be something dope.

I hope this really works out
