Erykah Badu Interviews Kendrick Lamar

BADU:
How do you choose chicks from backstage?
LAMAR:
How do I choose chicks from backstage?
BADU:
Yeah, what is the protocol?
LAMAR:
I try not to. [laughs] I’m too scared. Anybody who knows me knows that I’m probably the most scared person when it comes to that because I’m so caught up in the act of sex, of something going crazy, going out of my control. I’m too paranoid.
BADU:
[laughs] So you just pass?
LAMAR:
I’ve got to because I’ve seen a situation where it got totally out of hand, where something seemed so innocent, and now this person has got allegations on them. It spooked me. This was before my career really started, though—before any “Kendrick Lamar.” And that right there? It changed my whole perception about certain things. I’ll always keep that in the back of my head.
BADU:
So who is your asshole-checker?
LAMAR:
Who is my what?
BADU:
Your asshole-checker—the person in your crew or your family who let’s you know if you’re being a asshole.
LAMAR:
I have two, actually. [both laugh] But the main one is a friend of mine—a lady friend who has known me since high school. She has always been someone, since day one, who has said something whenever I’m an asshole, or also if I’m doin’ something positive—but more so when I’m out of my element.
BADU:
What’s your favorite cereal?
LAMAR:
Fruity Pebbles. When people ask for my rider, they think I’m crazy: Fruity Pebbles, baked chicken, bottle of Hennessy, and some Polo socks.
BADU:
What do you, as a man, envy about what it means to be a woman?
LAMAR:
There’s just a certain knowledge instilled in a woman. There are these things that women have that men just can’t grasp: the understanding of love; the understanding of being; having a certain type of care in your heart and knowing when to be compassionate; knowing how to be a confidante…
BADU:
That’s a good perspective. Something I envy that men have is that ability to grow a goatee. I think that’d be really hot on me.

NEW VIDEO: Sweet Bitch (Prod by. Jesse Futerman)

Directed by The Martian Project

In the first official visual piece from MeLo-X’s GOD: LoFi EP, he brings us to East Flatbush, Brooklyn for a traditional Caribbean meal while enjoying his favorite wine “Sweet Bitch”. Looking as though she stepped off the red carpet, a femme fatale stumbles into the restaurant where MeLo-X sits sipping his wine and thinking about the future.

MeLo-X was featured on my latest mixed tape and is quickly becoming one of my favorites of 2013.

R. KELLY vs PHOENIX

ABX - Ignition (1901 Remix) (R. Kelly vs Phoenix)
Download: direct via Raptorhideout | Soundcloud

NEW MIXTAPE: We don’t usually repeat tracks, but when R. Kelly and Phoenix did a live mashup at Coachella we pretty much didn’t have a choice but to recreate it. Hopefully this means R. Kelly is at the stage of his career where he just shows up and sings “Ignition (Remix)” over other people’s songs all the time.

Loving EVERYTHING about this post.
