why does it have to be anything except for what erykah badu and her sponsors want it to be? maybe she doesnt' want it to be as diverse as lilith fair. maybe she only wants to include "sisters" of the same ilk. maybe she doesn't like any other artists that are women besides jill, macy and sunshine. maybe she could give a fuck what people think.

u know u my dawg but this ^ is a bunch of bull. black sisterhood really AIN'T GOT SHIT to do with music and touring....if u really wanna boil the water. and sister ain't got SHIT to do with everything that black encompasses. why does blackness & it's "encompassments" have to have ANYTHING to do with music?
