She’s really good at using the internet machine, and this project is a great tangible example of that. It’s relevant and immediate (recorded within the past month or two). What I’ve always admired about her is her ability to give her fans exactly what they want. I’ve followed her “on and on” ever since. I’ve been a fan of Erykah since Baduizm dropped in my grade 9 school year.

It had a sound that would make for an amazing like show that I would pay upwards of $300 to see. On the TFT Podcast we listen to and discuss Erykah Badus But You Caint Use My Phone. The project is stitched together with Erykah’s signature interludes and melodies and reprises. The highlight for me, though, was the Andre 3000 featured Hello, which seems to morph organically into the sonic elements of Sade’s Kiss Of Love – a classic record that was the main ingredient of MF DOOM’s Doomsday.
