Jan.28.2008 // Video Premiere: Erykah Badu - “Honey”

Ooh, I like this! It’s very creative and I guess “honey” would be music of course! The video is obviously about local record stores dying and how you should support them! I love Blue Note, I wonder if that’s where she taped this? And is that Sa-Ra? I like how she parodies artist’s album covers in it! LOL! And omg - her Andre impression - I was rolling! I thought the monkey at the end was funnie, I forget where I seen that from, I think a commercial..

UPDATE: Ugh, can anyone guess the covers, the ones I personally picked up right away were Nas and The Beatles. I know, I’m too young -_-

Apparently being her 3rd LP, Worldwide Underground, in 2003 due to lackadaisical sales which was due to timing the singer proclaims, “I didn’t feel like doing the whole promotional circuit for that record.
