30802, don't even know how to respond to this..
Posted by betelgeuse, Wed Jun-22-05 03:56 AM
the word "fake" comes to mind, but i don't want to be labeled a "hater".
30803, seems like a commercial....
Posted by Scrapluv, Wed Jun-22-05 05:10 AM
but how can you call it "fake"?

she's been doing all these things for years, i think it's cool she's being recognized

it did come off like a geico commercial, ha
30804, this is new to me
Posted by betelgeuse, Wed Jun-22-05 06:23 AM
but i know it's for a good cause. it's just badu putting on that smile and doing a
"commercial" like that.. i don't know, i just wasn't expecting this. no disrespect
though.
30805, i think he's calling Cadillac "fake"

Posted by Verbal Cryogenics, Wed Jun-22-05 05:56 PM
The Mos Def joint w/ the Denali was hot. His joint with Converse was hot too. I respect what Erykah does for the community, but the comercial came off madd fake!

I applaud sister Erykah's efforts, but that piece could've been a lot better. It came off very cheesy, as if it was a skit on a comedy sketch show or something.

30815, pics from the cd booklet, concert footage
Posted by ekogirl, Wed Jun-22-05 11:58 AM
right, it could have been realer using the pics of her posting up in the caddy in mama's gun cd photos or footage of her actin like she's rolling and singing about rolling in a cadillac from concert footage but this is capitalism, gotta keep in un(real) and look like a community public service announcement.

30823, RE: If it takes Cadillac to do it, so be it !
Posted by ppg_2311, Wed Jun-22-05 10:59 PM
I admit she looks like somebody's mama there, but I suppose that's the community-builder image she has to portray. I ain't mad at the commercial though !
