Watch Erykah Badu Transform "Green Eyes" Into A 12-Minute Jam For Her 'Tiny Desk Concert'

POSTED BY ELIJAH C. WATSON 1 MIN AGO


Badu is here to help you start your Wednesday.

Erykah Badu brought peace and love to the NPR offices for her Tiny Desk Concert. The famed R&B and soul singer goes through her many aliases and introduces her band before going through two tracks — Baduizm‘s “Rimshot” and Mama’s Gun‘s “Green Eyes.”

Green eyes is one of my favourite badu songs... this rendition is crazy dope.

...it's framed as her "extending" or "transforming" Green Eyes. It's a 12 minute song on the album and this looks like a pretty straight forward read, almost note for note.
3008167, It's from whoever posted the original NPR video, but yeah

...back when New Amerykah dropped.

This was a real extension of a song.
