If we experience a sudden explosion of hoe shit its most likely due to pseudo R&B chanteuses being well aware of Loretta Brown’s return. On Saturday the Dallas native performed a smooth version of “You’ve Got a Friend” during the halftime portion of the NBA Skills Competition. I don’t smoke but I would roll to this. View video of the performance after the jump!
Rocking a perfectly picked mini-fro and Mars Blackman necklace [as a possible nod to her seven month old baby girl], the woman iStan for performed alongside her latest sperm donor Jay Electronica on Mos Def’s Ecstatic Tour at the Hollywood Palladium in Hollywood on Saturday.
Babble recently caught up with Madame Wheat Germ about homeschooling, tweeting during labor, raising her kids in a vegan household, and giving birth at home.
The food which fuels that learning is also a big concern for Erykah, who adheres to a vegan lifestyle both for herself as well as for her three children, which include daughters Puma Sabti, 5, and Mars Merkaba, 7 months. “When Seven was born I was a vegetarian and his father [Andre 3000]was too, so it was a natural progression for him in life to eat the things we eat,” she explains. “Puma is the same way. It’s just what’s in the house.”
The kids are also being taught to read the ingredients before they consume, though Erykah is quick to point out that she did not “in any way force them to have the same lifestyle,” adding, “I think they should know the benefits of having a healthy body.”
If you have been waiting for Erykah Badu to drop the second volume to her 2008 release New Amerykah, Pt. 1: 4th World War you are in luck. Sources have confirmed to Billboard.com that she is currently in the studio working with long-time collaborator James Poyser on New Amerykah, Pt. 2: Return Of The Ankh.
You can catch Erykah doing all types of weird shit on the road this summer on her three month international tour. Here are a couple of flicks of her from The North Sea Jazz Festival. iStan!
Although I openly stan for Erykah Badu I can’t stand her ass. And no, it has nothing to do with her pilot head gear. Her post baby body looks better than my, well, pre adolescence figure. It’s all good though, I’m just going to drink me some Cyanide Creole Cayenne Lemonade and walk around in a sauna suit all day.
Thank Kang Jeezus for Kid Fury covering this earlier this week because I would have totally missed out on the opportunity to swang my stan flag. Erykah teamed up with Kiehl’s to launch a limited edition Superbly Restorative Argan Body Lotion that is sure to turn more than a few men change gods and stop eating meat.

Sylvia Rhone, you may want to put your leg down. I would normally classify this picture as some potential hoe shit but won’y out of respect for you.
Iman went in Keri Hilson’s wig chest and pulled out a winner for the 3rd Annual Black Girls Rock! Awards on Sunday night. Created by DJ Beverly Bond, the awards highlight the industry’s most accomplished icons as well as lesser known women who are distinguished in their particular fields.
Other attendees included Erykah Badu, Estelle, the artist formerly known as Pound Puppy – - Teyana Taylor, Malinda Williams and Pam Grier. Hit up the gallery for more red carpet + inside flicks.
Even with a bun in the oven Erykah Badu gave a dope performance during the second day at the Austin City Limits last month. Don’t ask me to explain what the hair is all about! I am legally obligated as a stan not to give public critiques.
