Erykah Badu On the Music Industry | post by TDJ

Leave it to Erykah to break down this business of music so eloquently... I had to repost this after a friend emailed me the link to this interview a few weeks back. It is absolutely hilarious and brilliant- to say the least. In between laughs and punchlines be sure to listen to what she's saying. Because even though she's being silly, she's telling the absolute truth about the mess we see on television and listen to on our radios today. Not just in music, but in everyday situations. How often have you felt you've sold yourself short? I want to pose this question for discussion...Do you feel that African-American Women's roles in music/entertainment have progressed or are they just a modern day Sarah Baartman?
