I couldn’t have said it better myself.

You took the words out of my mouth!!

Trane: High school is a metaphor for real life. The geeks and freaks (and anyone else that’s “different”) get picked on because they don’t conform to what the popular kids are doing. The same thing goes with Ms. Badu. She’s “crazy” because she has a mind of her own. She’s “wierd” because she has musical direction that many pop artists need, but lack. She’s “insane” because she speaks knowledge and the truth that many need to hear. How sad. How devastating. “New AmErykah” is a CD that you would benefit from listening to. Seriously.

That is not the “real Ashley from Texas up there” but here I am hun! My mother had to clean for the wealthy and she said she had to do what she had to do in order to get where she is, and that is to prepare a way for me to not clean and just go to school, to receive a degree free from working hard and just learn. What I’m trying to say is those women in the videos are doing what they must to move forward in life for 3to $4,000 a day. Cleaning floors for white women back then was considered degrading but she did it with pride. We don’t know what those women in the videos are moving towards, but we must take into consideration that half of those women have children that they must feed and dress. The hood is not a place for the younger generation to see that there are black people making six figures a year without dealing. On BET’S 106 AND PARK one must get a degree and graduate on top to be considered for a position. ERYKAH IS RIGHT if shaking tail is all we see than that is all we know. What we don’t know is the struggle behind that.

Lisa, each and everyone of us could greatly benefit from applying the mirror image theory. There is nothing, and I mean absolutely nothing that should be capable of invading an individuals psychological comfort zone through these posts. if it happens; if an individual is so invested in another’s words that they would adopt them into their person, there lies a pressing issue.

Lisa, I don’t know Badu and quite frankly neither do you. However I do applaud the gumption and work ethic that it must have taken for her to become the accomplished and influential artist that she is. Music doesn’t do a whole lot for me these days. I have embarked on a personal odyssey to ween my self from the amoral bacteria that a high percentage of these artists wield. I’m an avid reader, an avid writer, and a very avid thinker. I have a book for you…THE BIBLE. I am certainly no religious loon, but it’s a good read. It will tell you a lot about your nature.

HELLO HOW IS THE MUSIC BISNESS.

yooou suck black balls

I am very upset about the change i hear that disney has decided to make concerning hip hop top 40 at BET soundstage, i think this was not well thought out and as a person who enjoys hip hop music, i feel this is a shame for you to decide to make this change. Me and my friends enjoy going to disneys pleasure island because of its positive environment and it feels like a safe place. We were all shocked when we went into BET and found out from the dj they are no longer allowed to play top 40 hip hop, they can only play music from 98 and later….what? Do you not realize by doing that, young people who were born in the 80 and 90 can not relate to that music, how can you call your club BET soundstage if you are not going to correctly represent BET and its viewers, we are not in the 90s and most of us do not enjoy that music. The entire atmosphere of the club was dead and boring, and not to mention very corny. Pleasure islands BET does not represent BET it seems asif you are turning it into something. We feel you are trying to phase out top 40 hip hop and its listeners, which the majority of them happen to be the minority. Not just black, but spanish, asian, even white. Tonight even a white women asked us if this was BET because we were all confused. I know BET brought in just as much money as the other clubs and it is wrong for you guys to try and change that. Will the name be changed soon also. We need a nice place to have a good time and it now seems as if disney no longer wants to give us that.

And take Dainel Mather’s trifling comment off. How did you even allow it on here?????

Badu i dont know her personally but when i actually sat down and listened to some of her songs yea they sounded good by then i noticed that she has them double-meaning lyrics. she can be talking about one thing but if the wrong person listens to it they can pick up something totally different.

well said erykah well said ..

e.b im your biggest fan ever i listen to you everyday i know im a little late but i just found this site, if it wasnt for you i,d be kicking men in the teeth, but now i try a little harder, i put away the 38 thanks E

BADU 4 PRESIDENT HONESTLY GIRL I FEEL U N GOT MUCH RESPECT 4 U

It seems as though the adults in media, black or white, hip-hop or rock and in society in general do not accept their responsibility in the lives of children. The entertainment industry does not have respect for our youth or a family friendly atmosphere. There are some things that are just not age appropriate. We wonder why children and teens are thinking about sex, sex, sex, drugs, crime and alcohol. Well, its all over the T.V., in the music, and sometimes demonstrated by the community leaders, but no one wants to be responsible. I see it to be soooo sad for adults to impose their lustful and sexual fantasies along with other irresponsible and disrespectful behavior upon young minds to make a dollar or make themselves happy. Remember out the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. What we represent, say and do is who we are. The selfishness of mankind and immorality will always cause an imbalance among us humans.

And that is why you will leave a great legacy…your video “next lifetime” is classic! You took a simple subject matter as cheating and brought the visual image of our culture and history. At the end of that video, I not only had pride because of the lyrics to wait and have some standards but it showed the beauty of love and choices we all can make! Much respect always and I pray we have more girls who chose to see you for what you are. “Honey” is another classic use of one message and still fighting for something else…you are creative and a force to be reckoned with one luv

First let me say that i am neither black nor white,i am a spiritual being,the spirit within us is what mobilize the actions of the flesh,weather you see that flesh as a color or person, white yellow pink etc. its time for us to stop identifying ourselves as black, or white because in reality we are neither: hold up any piece of black object against your skin,does that black object match the pigment of your skin? or hold up a piece of white cloithing against your skin,what do you see? so you can see for your self that you are hypnotize to think in a certain way rather that spiritual,because that is how they gain controll of your mind. BET is the bigest hypocrite,and perpetrator of this deception:here is an example,right after they had a forum about Black women being portraid as whore,and “B” they show you a music video with a black woman shaking her naked ass all ove the television, so why is this happening right in fron of our eyes? and we can’t see the hypocrisy? we were tricked by the Demons of this earth in the forms we see them to day because if you see their true form they could not get you to follw them,so to keep the attention away from itself,and keep us fighting each other they teach you to see color:the white man againat the black men,and the women against the men,color does not identify the spirit that animates,weather it be good or bad.That said,why do we hold up broken disfunctional people on T.V as if they are expert on fixing the human spirit:the only one that can do that is the one that created it:when you have a mechinical problem with your car,and the regular mechinic can’t diagnose or fix the problem don’ you take it to the DEALER of that manufactured car? of corse you do;it is the same with spiritual genetics you have to go back to the maker to fixed you:Not JZ,P-DIDDY,NOZZ,DR. DREA,or whom ever. I watch your show about hip hop vs. america:not for entertainment,but to see what kind of programming you are promoting to help the young kids in america.
All i saw was a bunch of people that are just as confuse as the rest of society,the only one that was saying any thing sensible, was the older,Gentleman that was a reverend,and the other young man with the notes in his hand.can’t you see what the problem with the so called Black family is? well let me tell you:NO FATHERS! Listen to this warning that was spoken by the Prophit MALACHI AS GOD GAVE HIM UTERANCE; MALACHI 4:5-6:BEHOLD,I WILL SEND YOU ELIJAH THE PROPHET BEFORE THE GREAT AND DREADFULL DAY OF THE LORD.
AND HE SHALL TURN THE HEART OF THE FATHERS TO THE CHILDREN,
AND THE HEART OF THE CHILDREN TO THEIR FATHERS,
LEAST I COME AND SMITE THE EARTH WITH A CURSE.Who is raising the children after the women drive the men out?isn’t it the woman?and what does she tell the children about their father to make the children hate or turn away from their father?
So there you have the answer to the mystery of the problem in the family not just so called black family,but all family,but since the topic is Black family i will keep the attention there:we are inheriting the curse that God promise that he would pass on to the children; VISITING THE INIQUITIES OF THE FATHERS UPON THE CHILDREN,UNTO THE THIRD AND FORTH GENERATION OF THEM THAT HATE ME
AND SHOWING MERCY UNTO THOUSANS OF THEM THAT LOVE ME AND KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS,EX 20:5-6.Does these kids that is running around with their pants down their ass,as if they are attracting and encouraging some sort of homosexual behavior love GOD?dose these SO CALLED BLACK FEMALES that are having babies out of wedlock love GOD ?,and on top of it they expect the the government to take care of them?do they love god? is that godly behavior? These women grow up to think that society ows them something,this is her reason for thinking that she can do it on her own,so with the help of the government she set out to become a single mother,going from one pair of pants to the next pair with no hope for a future, now she is left alone to raise her children,while at the same time full of contempt,and hate for the father,because now that reality sets in, she hears the faceless phantom inside her head mocking her,and making her feel humilated and used,because she have given up part of her self to someone that will not be there,but will go on to the next women,leaving her to her humilating future with the children, so her only vengance is through the children her contempt for him drives her to constantly put the father down calling him all kind of names weather he is present or not:hell hath no fury but through a woman scorn(contempt) : the male child hear this constant put down of his father and his mother constantantly telling him that he is just like his father(no good) make him question his identity ,because his mother is constantly telling him that he will turn out to be nothing like his father;and this constant assault on his manhood,makes him feel less than what he is(a man),because his mother can’t teach him how to be a male;she is female with a feminin spirit,and as his only authority,he can’t help but believe the lie she is feeding him about his father, so as he grows into man hood he looses the example of what a man is so when he looks at himself in the mirror,who does he see looking back at him? the spirit of his mother, not the man he should be .so now it is his turn to pick up where is father left off,rember the scripture about the iniquities of the father? ok now it is in place,as God said it would,he now seek a woman that will love him,and make every thing all right,but the trouble with that is,he can only see her as a sexual object,thinking that sex is love, so he goes around sleeping with any woman that will allow it until he gets one pregnant,and because he did not have the example of a father,(man) in the home he has no idea of responsibility and he is lost,so this poor child is born int a union of hell waiting to come on earth through this disfunctional pair,:soon this child will loose its indentity,and starts to look for something to replace it,because it is not natural for any child male or female to loose their sense of worth,they need a balance of the two spirits MASCULINE AND FEMENINE.
Now with no where to turn HE/SHE turns to Music Stripping,whatever they think will replace what they have lost:we see this happen to many So called Celebrities;Left eye,god rest her soul,she was tormented by a dark spirit which followed her to her death,the vehicle she was driving in Hondurus killed a little boy earlier,what about KESHA COLE who you featured on your show? she has compensated for her disfunctional home life as a child, her father was not there,and her mother is a drug adict:we see this all over the news where so called entertainers(WHICH ARE REALY DEMONS WORKIN FOR SATAN) end up dead because they are not happy,their compensation for what they have lost has cause their demize,so hip hop is not the answer thes guys you have on the shows are broken,and defeated spiritually,they are a demonic tool that is used to keep the kids asleep.If there was good fathers in the home we would not have a world like the one we live in,because goodness brings good in your life,the kingdom of heaven on this earth.
So i will conclude by saying that So called Black women need to stop fighting for power in the home,and pick a man that respect her,not one that uses her for sex,and ego gratification,pick a man that put GOD and what is right above even her,don’t pick him because of the size of his private parts:what do you think you will attract when you go out of your home dressed with half or your sacred parts exposed? your body is the temple of the living GOD ,not a building! what are you realy saying to the man that look in your direction as you walk down the street with the most intimate parts of your body exposed? do you think that a noble man will want to treat you like the princess that you could become? so that you could raise children in a framework of moral values,and you and your children will be happy with your husband of high moral value by your side,or you want the the one that did not have that example of what a man should be and his only lookin for a sexual fix,and you end up pregnant,now the choice will be made for you,because you won’t need to kick him out of the house,because it is a one night stand. what do you realy want? do you know that you are being controlled by forces beyond your comprehension?
And this is for BET, if you realy want to solve the problem? why don’t you invite real every day people to discuss these topics,when you hold up these enimies of the so called black people who call them self hip hop stars, what do you expect ? do you think that they have the answer,they are just as confused as the peope they are tyring to help,they are nothing but opportunist.Why dont you do a program on fathers who can’t get to see their children because,the mothers won’t allow it,and these men who wan’t to be fathers to their children,and is being denied of their rights by the mothers,and is using the court system to punish the fathers.
why don’t you envite some one like me who is a regular guy that has been celibate for almost three years,and have not touch or been out with a woman(by choice) all this time,and i do not M/B watch porn womanize,take drugs,smoke or drink alcohol(and i dont go to church to do this) why dont you hold this up for the young people to see,instead you show them that the way to recognition is to rap about PIMPS & H.SEX,DRUGS,GUNS, BLING -BLING,AND KILLING EACH OTHER. why don’t you promote that kind of behavior on your show?
The proble is simple,its hard.
Aa Meen
