Erykah Badu - Honey ( Official Video)

I came late to the Erykah Badu party but I am now at the party and I am loving it. Aside from being a captivating creature, Badu can lay down an addictive beat accompanied by a melody no less. This video shows she's been paying attention to music for a long time, with album covers referencing everything from "Let It Be" to the Ohio Players to Alicia Keys (where in the world can she be?), and throwing in an updated version of the famous Rolling Stone magazine cover of John and Yoko. Is this all a subtle, yet respectful, parody of music culture? Uhhmmm, could be, but I think for the most part Badu is paying homage to what came before and after her giving birth to the New Soul. Badu knows the sounds of yesterday and today. She takes the sounds, mixes it 'em all up, stirs it real good, makes her own sound, and drenches it in "Honey".
