Erykah’s A Child Of The Funk

When you’re done listening to that incredible piece on Dilla, I suggest you take another 2 hours. Just sit back, relax and get ready to listen to miss Erykah Badu who gave a lecture a few days ago at the Red Bull Music Academy in Madrid. Very interesting interview done by Egon from Stones Throw. Enjoy this one!

Badu On Which Producer To Work With:

This year’s Red Bull Music Academy is in full effect again. Participants such as Full Crate and Salva are probably having the time of their lives as we speak in Madrid. Yesterday miss Erykah Badu was a guest at the academy and gave a lecture. To give you guys a small preview, check out this teaser video and be on the look out for footage of MF Doom’s lecture as well. More video footage will be shared soon, don’t you worry.

MOOVMNT_MINIBAR_0611

Tonight we bring that SOUL flava to the MiNiBAR and to help us with this, we invited local legend DJ Manga. This cat has been spinning for decades and is older than time itself (just kidding). Seriously though. Manga is well known here in Amsterdam for his ‘Legends’ party that he’s been doing together with Supreme Cuisine in the Paradiso for some time now. We’d like to invite everyone in the 020 area to drop by and have a drink with us. If you like that soulful music don’t be shy…we’ll see you tonight!

Oh before I forget. HERE‘s a free mix Manga did for QT-Online to get ya’ll in the mood…enjoy. Tracklist after the jump.

erykah-return-ankh

This is what everybody’s been waiting for all year. Sexy soulstress Erykah Badu is back with a brand new album entitled “New Amerykah pt. 2: Return of the Ankh” and it’s hella good. She really got us worried when that joint with Lil Wayne leaked, but thank god that isn’t on the album. When “Window Seat” leaked I knew this was going to be like old times. Probably the best Nu-Soul album I’ve heard in a while and even if she did cover Sylvia Striplin‘s “You Can’t Turn Me Away”…it’s all good. Miss Erykah can get away with stuff like that, because she drops songs like “Love” and “Fall In Love” on Return of the Ankh. Been a long time since I’ve bought an album, but this is a birthday present I wouldn’t mind getting. Is there anyone who’s still looking to buy me a gift? It was my birthday yesterday and I am quite a nice guy. I suggest you start supporting wonderful music like this and BUY yourself a copy whether it be on CD, vinyl or Erykah Badu - New Amerykah, Pt. 2: Return of the Ankh

Erykah Badu – Love
