  • For those that ...

    For those that don't know Zap Mama if from the Democratic Republic of Congo and Talib Kweli had also featured on one of her songs. "World music" is an orientalist term that staes that all music produced outside the "Western world" is an other, lesser and assimilated genre. It's ignorant. If you can differentiate between music made in the Mid-West and the South then you can understand that there are regional genres within and between cultures and countries.

    Cool...
    How did you come across this then, like/play/sing this type of music? I came across this one through looking at Erykah Badu's sites and I got into Badu through listening to Jazz such as the trumpeter Roy Hargrove, I love his RH Factor album (Badu's on this too).

  • Woops, when I said ...

    Woops, when I said 'wierd' I wasn't referring to this song, it was a (response to a response to a response of a!!!) lyric I thought sounded 'funny', plus I'm not too educated __ don't know how to word things right! However, I respect mine and everybody's taste in music when they show a love of music that is 'Badu-ish' hehe :)

  • its not a "biccy", ...

    its not a "biccy", its a "mickey," that's when someone slips a drug in your drink at the club. It's a metaphor for being tricked.

    Badu's lyrics are best understood metaphorically.

  • 'Certaintly not me' ...

    'Certaintly not me' is where that wierd lyric was I mentioned before. Another cool thing is Badu's rhythm at 1 minute 44 (HHHAA! sorry to be anal or can't explain it as 'well') she has that Prince type of musical expression where the voice becomes like a type of instrument and she's so relaxed (e.g. sounded a bit like a snare giving it another sub rhythm)

  • What ever you want ...

    What ever you want it to mean that's what makes them such mind appetising artists e.g. in one of Badu's lyrics (not this song) she says what sounds like 'turned around then ya slipped me a biccy' HA! some may think literally it could be a rich tea or jaffa (haha) or a kiss, or weed or a bit of mental wisdom. And I'm sure they are aware of their abstractness, they are both far from shallow, uninteresting artists.
