i just hit in japan last week. i must honestly, and i mean this when i say it,
it was 3 of the best shows of my ENTIRE career.
it was the first time i have lost my voice at the beginning of a tour , ever. i sounded like ms .jane pittman, for real.
but i still rocked it. i was in raw form. the band was on they shit. im talkin bout ....i was givin james brown Q's. oh we was on fire!!!
as usual , my videographer, KERWIN, taped the shows......did i mention that i lost my voice and still rocked it....it was on some POOTIE TANG shit ...they was not even minding. infact ...well ya'll get it. it was historic. we cryed.
anyhow...im going thru the airport and the last time i saw that bag of tapes was right before immigrations....a japanise dude came up and gave me a gift of paper art that his momma made i put it in the bag with the tapes.
lord how mercy ...somebody turn it in. please.
what should i do....charge it to the game?....oh well.
im offering a 10 million dollar reward and a free round trip to GRAMBLING STATE UNIVERSITY for you and a guest... no, but seriously, i was trully chipped up over that....i guess im okay enough to talk about it...isn't that cold.
dont let me see that shit on okay player. im serious, ya'll.

signed '' change my name to silly e. badu ''....GOT damn

Hey Girl!! Nice to read a new post of yours! I saw some photos of your shows in Japan (wireimage.com), you were beautiful.
Did u eat sushi, do u like it?

I'm sorry for the bag, damn!!

Peace & Love

I hope you find them again.

hope the tapes find there way back to you somehow.
Sounds like must see footage, I wanna peep that
on DVD one day......... I hope????

you know what i'm talkin about? the deal where they work on a really detailed, intricate art piece for months using different colored grains of sand to create some off the hook shit... only to destroy it in a ceremonial ritual.

supposed to symbolize the fleeting nature of life and a disconnect w/ the material world.

«SiG»
“Stand out firmly for Justice as witness before God, even against yourselves, against your kin and against your parents, against people who are rich or poor. Do not follow your inclinations or desires lest you deviate from Justice."
-Qur’an 4:135

you flipped what was basically a "lost & found" notice into a point for pondering the fleeting nature of our existance.

can you come to lafayette, louisiana with zap mama its only 3 hours away from grambling. also you know miles was the reason behind the voice of miss jane pittman

blame the lil paper animal

that shit sux tho for real

■ okayplayer since 2000

lol hook it up

you caint hurry up, you got too much stuff...

sorry e, couldnt resist

not tryin to be a dick.....but...the general public has never seen them before either.....you should atleast be glad you got to see them

and, in it, everything you had

at one point i thought i was reading something he typed.

hope that bag turns up. i know how that feels. back when i was doing radio/clubs i lost a case of stuff. never saw it again. brother was heart broken.

Sorry 'bout your tapes and all.

Well, I'm looking at the photos on wireimage and I am so "mad" because Badu gets to dress the way she wants to dress, rock her hair the way she wants to rock it. I haaaate rules!!!! Man, if I could live off being a writer, I would. I'd never set foot in an office ever again! I would just live in the woods, with my son (and my future babies) and call it a life, no rules whatsoever.

I pick up pennies.
I pluck daisies' petals.
I wish on stars.
La-dee-da-dee-da.

unreleased D'angleo shit, no....bootleg o' BE, no...pics of grassy knoll, no.....sorry, ma. Maybe it's in the kids' bags...

I'm here in Tokyo and have some friends that might be able to help...by the way, was at the show...you rocked that shit!!!

I'll see what I can do.

How many tapes? VHS, right? Anything else in the bag? What kind of bag, color of bag, size? My friend works in the airport, so i check with them but I need the info because the Japanese are real paticular bout this kind of thing. Also have some other friends that might be able to find out.

now come and get it...

jus sayin...good luck!

Oh damn E!!! what is this, when I read that my heart dropped, I'm feelin so bad, as if they were mine, I'll say a prayer for them to be returned safely, I'm actually gettin a headache thinking about how you must feel, they better be returned!!! ;) I can just imagine the sentimental value to them vidz, I remember when I lost the masters to my song dedicated to my mom, I was like... a part of me died, it was my baby. well, peace, prayers, and much love.

& joo just got on man...that's foul

i hope u find em' doh' for real

-chris

Seriously, though, I hope you find 'em...and I hope they're lost and not stolen.

No doubt, gotta see them Rattlers....FAAAAM-U, FAAAAM-U, FAM-COT-DAMN-U, alright, alright, alright!!! Hope you find them tapes!

lost vs stolen, they are not in her posession that's all there is to it.

>Seriously, though, I hope you find 'em...and I hope they're
>lost and not stolen.




"nahhh, wait for the flies, wait for the flies two more weeks"

Hopefully who ever has the videos, will realise returning them holds greater rewards, like your self pride, and dignity. Just yesterday, my neighbor gave me a new dvd player that she was throwing out because it was "broken" and she didn't buy a warranty, so I could just have it for parts or whatever (strange). So I bring it home and hook it up, and tha damn thing works beautifully, so I being different (being me) packed it up and returned it to her, showing her that tha cables weren't connected properly, and she was so happy, I just can't believe that she gave it to me, and didn't throw it out... I guess it was waiting for me. Because I'm a good guy. ;)

peace, much love.

You bought the same dvd player from Sam Goody's. Half price because it was broken.
Now you take the dvd player home and it was working. Would you take it back to the store and ask to be charged full price?

Just a question...

My question is, you knew your neighbour, hence you were given the player in the first place. Generosity begets honesty.

But to a person you don't know... would you be as honest?

>Hopefully who ever has the videos, will realise returning
>them holds greater rewards, like your self pride, and dignity.

or a mint on ebay....

Well if there lost, then whoever finds them may return them. If they're stolen, there's a good chance somebody intends to use them for their own personal gain.

stranger things have happened
i got my cell phone back when i left it in a yellow cab in nyc

hope they get back to you.

why would she choose grambling state out of all the HBCU's....homegirl went to xavier or dillard if im not mistaken....which by the way is my hometown...

and also it wasnt like we would have gotten a live dvd off them joints in the next three years anyway

She went to Grambling, obviously. Where u get dillard or xavier from?

where you get that from?

I went to grambling too...check out her bio.

it's worth a try

I was just listening to On and On... when I logged on to get my daily dose of Okayplayer.. and I read your posting, :( dag Ms. B... I hope you find your bag soon....in the mean time keep GROOVING :9

>dont let me see that shit on okay player. im serious, ya'll.

E. got jokes

SH*T, D*MN, MUTHAF*CKA! THAT SUCKS!

Hope you get your bag back. But like someone said earlier, you might want to watch EBay or Nuc Nuc an em's bootleg op.!

I hope included in those top three performances was the Sept. 17th, Chicago show cause that was some HOTT shit too. I hate to hear that you lost your bag of tapes, that sucks not only that but I am sure I am on a couple of those if the also filmed the line (Feb. 26th St Louis I wished you happy birthday, the camera man filmed it. Oh well though Erykah I am sure that you will never get those back....CHARGE IT TO THA GAME. Thanks for the inbox you are truley loved and genuine. Can't wait for you to come back to the CHI.

>dont let me see that shit on okay player. im serious, ya'll.

DAMN, THIS SOUNDS LIKE A FEMALE VERSION TO AN OLE CLASSIC FROM ATCQ...BUT IT'S EB...WHA' DI'BUM-BO-CLOT!!! LORD KNOWS HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU...ALL I CAN SAY IS YOU MAY NOT NEED TO SHELL OUT 10 MILL. LOOK OUT FOR THE JAPANESSE BOOTLEG/NAH TRUTHFULLY, LOOSING IT MAKES IT MORE CLASSIC. THINK OF IT AS THAT SUMMER ROMANCE YOU MIGHT OF HAD WHEN YOU WENT TO SOME RELATIVES HOUSE OUT THERE IN JAPAN AND, YALL AINT EVER SEE EACHOTHER EVER AGAIN-YET.

-MILIFE

BTW ERYKAH I ABSOLUTELY ADORE YOU. I'M IN LOVE WITH YOU.....
