Women who rock - ERYKAH BADU (this one was obviously coming)

Danger.

I love this song. I really hate the glamorization of crime in some music *cough* lil wayne *cough*. Some music makes it seem like it’s just the funnest thing to go and shoot people left and right. While this song isn’t an outright condemnation of this crime culture, it has a more realistic view of this life. It’s definitely not glamorized.

Well there ain’t no mistaken
That the money you’re makin
Leaves you nervous and shakin
Cause at night you’re awake and
Thinkin bout lives that you’ve taken
All the love you’ve forsaken

Besides, the instrumentation and production of this song ALONE is simply amazing. She uses her mouth as an instrument. Can you imagine putting this song together?

clearly, i love Ms.Badu.
