Maybe I'm having a brain lapse and that's someone who looks similiar to Erykah Badu, but... uh... if that is her... Erykah lost.


But anyway, Jill Scott looked lovely as usual:

or is she supposed to check with you before she, uh, does whatever the fuck she wants

hhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaa
!V.I.P!

.

just because someone is a vegan/vegetarian, doesn't mean that they are p.e.t.a. people...not speaking for erykah, but some people don't eat chicken cause they don't believe people are supposed to eat meat...has nothing to do with the rights of the chicken or how it was killed (in some cases)...people just assume that one thing (vegan/veggie) automatically links up to an association with an animal rights organization...not so

The LEAST you could do is look up VEGAN online before you post some pretentious knowitall shit.

Vegans don't even wear leather or eat real cheese, man. If it's animal-based, it's out. That goes for food, clothing, household products, etc.

Also says Common is into veganism because he didn't want to take animals lives away.

from the people i know who are vegans, if you are true vegan... you don't wear leather or fur. Vegan, by what i understand by definition, means no animal products in your life period. but that's just what i always thought from my experience.

my initial point though was, none of us really know what lifestyle choices Erykah makes, has made, currently makes, whatever. Who cares? We're judging her now?

just don't expect answers to come from your speakers. Somebody ( a "Leader" or social organization) needs to take that message away from the record and promote it socially. That's when it works.

no it doesnt.

big = unhealthy

so many scientific studies point to this. don't fool yourself or others. get on that treadmill and swap those smothered pork chops for roasted chicken (small portion) and a large assortment of veggies

Personally I think Jill is beautiful no matter what!!!! BIG, small.. bigger.. who fucken cares!

As far as Erykah, give me a break. What’s the point? So she wears “fur” which we don’t know that’s what it is. It dumb to waste energy on what the fuck my Erykah wears, doesn’t wear, say. No matter what the girl is TIGHT!!! She’s rocking that shit like what?!?! And got you all talking about it.. at a girl! Now lets talk about more important shit.. like when the album going to drop!

No disrespect, I just feel like Erykah gets hated on for no reason.

haha

According to PETA world website:

What's a vegetarian or vegan?
A vegetarian doesn’t eat any animal flesh—like chicken, beef, pork, or fish. A vegan doesn’t eat animal flesh or any other animal products—like eggs, milk, or cheese. Most vegans also don’t wear animal skins, such as fur or leather.


MOST being the keyword here. Maybe she is one one who does.
OR better yet its posssible its a fake (faux) fur.

I kinda enjoy making my OWN choices . It's a new concept called thinking.

sorry if you are offended, but you need to find some mo shit to do.
bottom line,
im a health consious sister who loves to create.
ang grow, and change.
and i am allowing and inviting yu to watch me do so.
not easy.
so be easy with your words.

go on disect me.
i can take it.

my spelling is awful. lol

Please feel free to do as you wish (as long as you are not hurting anyone or yoursel). There is nothing wrong striving to do what you feel is the right thing.

animals is pretty wack.

I dig what your sayin as i have alot of vegan straight edge friends. What im tryin to say is i don't see erykah on the front of peta ads getting all hard about veganisim. I had no clue she was a vegan but then again i don't follow her career and can't say i know a shitload about her. I might just be out of step and uninformed about erykah but who knows that could be faux. I just try to keep what artists do out of my worrys. I mean there just people its not like we should hold them to strict guidelines. Think about how many times most people change their minds about their oppinions and belifes in there life. What if we took every person and expected them to never alter their beleifes or ideas. Fuck I'm rambeling, all im saying is erykah is a person she also seems like a pretty real person if shes a vegan than im sure she wouldn't stroll out with a dead animal around her neck without a good explanation. Me personally i don't need to hear that explanation...you know why...cuz Mammas gun was so fucking good.

EXACTLY.

i don't give a isht what she eats long as it doesn't kill her. nor do i care what she wears. nor do i care if she's a hypocrite (and for the record, i don't think she is one) 'cause that ain't got isht to do with when her next album is coming out.

she's a "black vegan". that means like andre 3000 you are in it for just health reasons and have no ethics about fur.

russell simmons is another "black vegan," one who exploits cows to make leather shoes.

he definately shows that he cares about them... just not enough to stop making shoes out of them I guess... lol.

That is all.

Is this exclusively a black thing? Is choosing not to eat meat "just for health reasons" such a bad thing? I tried vegetarianism(?) for like half a year, and it comes with so many preconceived notions and expectations from others, but bottom line, it's a personal choice. If any of you are deeply hurt by this, to the point of NOT liking Erykah anymore, then there's something wrong with you, not the person you're criticizing.

that people always want to put someone under the microscope. The main thing that an artist is doing is giving you their art. If they are not hurting somebody or themselves, the choices they make in there life are theirs and theirs alone. How would you like if by posting on OKP that your every move, thought, etc. was put under the microscope? You have to give the artist a break. They will let you know when they need your opinion.

trying to look different, look "exotic", look like she "Stands for someone"...

Erykah is full of shit. Ever move she makes if 100% fake and I'm sorry it took me this damn long to see through it. I mean, she isn't a political activist, she isn't a activist period... she really is nothing special... the only thing she has going for her is ?uestlove and James Poyser production.

Shes a taletned musician that makes her something. Who gives a shit if shes an activist.

oooooh. damn. you've really got it in for her. damn, do you know her personally or something? but once again i must say. i need links to her being quoted saying that she is an activist/political activist etc.

and besides ?uest and James....the girl can still sing.

with all due respect,
have we met?
im sorry....

pay them no mind.

>trying to look different, look "exotic", look like she

Trying to look different?

How would you like her to look? Since, apparently you hold the
what-you-can-wear authority. I don't understand. How should she look?

Now this mess is just mean. I don't know about her, but if you said
these things about me, my feelings would be hurt...then I would get some of my geeky groupies to kill your computer, permanently.

did you photoshopped this? cause it looks weird...
if it's real, she does what she wants, but it's still bad taste. i mean the head and all... it's disgusting

The second one was more realistic.

f'real. you sound stupit
