Erykah Badu: C /D, S&D

Also Coyne was involved in this similar video (with a crowd instead of nudity) for another Oklahoma band last year, so the gunk side of things is a very unoriginal grossness: www.youtube.com/watch?v=bdXrvhMEQeU

unless you have an explicit agreement that states otherwise filming something for someone elses project does in fact constitue consent - what you think every person in any video gets a copy sent to them and signs off on it, every actor gets final cut of a movie

How are Badu fans reconciling her seemingly supportive/excited Tweets during the production of the song & video - even, seemingly, up to the original release of the video - with her remorseful later take?

she obvs didnt like how it turned out, which is fair

i haven't really been following anything on twitter, but she probably just saw the video and was like, ew.

xp

idk what it says abt her claims to be have been uncomfortable w/the concept from the beginning, i havent read all those tweets either

also, i am a Badu fan, but i'm not really interested in defending every tweet she posted about this controversy. i am interested in joining her army, should she ever start one, and general badu-directed devotion.

i am with horseshoe in the badu militia

badu is a queen tbh and i don't understand anyone who does not see this

so if this army has to at some point defend particular tweets will you then decide yr loyalty on a tweet by tweet basis, kinda capricious imho

xp

haha i realized the contradiction as i typed, but i, like badu, contain multitudes.

I truly think that the whole 'victim' angle here (which has seemingly come more from Badu's fans' projections than her own take on the story) is almost as creepy as anything Coyne may have or may have not done. Those kind of superfan comments suggest it wouldn't actually be possible to have any real discussion on it, though.

badu militia

looks like more of a cult tho tbh, fine line

I kind of don't care about anyone's shit but the product I think

like while you're alive just do whatever you have to do to put whatever work you have out there and then die, I think idk know tho

I have never, philosophically, made sausage tho so idk idk

looks like more of a cult tho tbh, fine line

i don't want to have to eliminate you jho

and thus it begins

also look how pretty she is!

she is v v pretty

haha i remember when baduizm first came out, and before i'd heard it at all i saw her being interviewed on mtv and she was talking, vaguely and flakily, i thought, about "baduism" as some kind of inspirational spirituality, and i found her super-irritating and was like this lady is wack. little did i know...

it bothers me when people wear turbans that cover part of their eyebrows tho

resistance is futile

behaving like a passive-aggressive dick for ages, coralling your cheerleading fans, and then belatedly issuing an unconvincing apology.

is this about wayne coyne or me getting 51'd last year?

lol #teamwhiney

the concept is i drown you and your sister in a bathtub, k?

ha

^^^ this is otm btw

Point missed slyly

merely filming a scene doesn't mean you're effectively consenting for it to be released at all.

Actually, it does, unless you have a contract that explicitly states otherwise. Which I would have, if I were getting filmed naked and covered with goo.

one can always dream

the real tragedy itt is how many of you guys totally could have been erykah badu's lawyer

.....”Oh really, Mr. Coyne, if that's true how do you explain THIS?” *dramatically whips out a signed contract giving Erykah Badu final approval of video*

Judge: ”Officer, take this man into custody, sentencing in two weeks”

*Erykah tearfully hugs me*

B b b b boing

*jay electronica glowers in back of courtroom*

Jay Elec is presumably too busy tapping Rothschild pussy to get mad about anything involving Erykah at the moment.

I think flying lotus has an incredible track record when it comes to producing tracks for women to sing on (tea leaf dancers I think is prob the best), but this seems kinda lackluster idk

whenever I happen to find that one elpee of his I play tea leaf dancers like 20 times

Haha "Shit I really liked the version of that song we did with Erykah Badu, but who can replace her, who is not going to be angsty about the nakedness and unconcerned about looking like a dick for replacing Erykah?"

"AW YEAH AMANDA PALMER!"

If you love The Flaming Lips you might enjoy my band Connoisseurs of Porn.

wtf

there needs to be an entire genre of music that takes 'out my mind, just in time' as its launchpad

avant-prog r&b that features motherfucking *songwriting*, it's like where ilm and i finally converge and seek a better tomorrow

listening to it right now i'm convinced it must be one of the best songs of the last 10 years

fwiw 'return of the ankh' hit me way harder than 'nu amerykah' in general

she's just uploaded some new cannabinoids stuff: https://soundcloud.com/the-cannabinoids
