Been waiting on this since I heard the snippet. But @ the same time, I’m holding back because I don’t think it’s possible to enjoy bits & pieces of a SA-RA album. It’s one of those things you have to groove to as a whole.
One eccentric, soulful sound deserves another so you have to love this pairing of the artist with the SRCP trio. Badu adds a few low wails over a rolling bassline and the tale gets spun.

They’re a bunch of weird looking bitches.

I would be helpful if you chose a side of the fence. In one post, you’re belittling coordinating, matching & following the status quo. Now, you’re mad b/c cats are “weird”. I can’t keep score fam lol.
pwned! … lol
Whats that ish that they be smokin?
Cool track- The weird is the one thing left to do; their esotericism allows them to make music that that they want to make. Else we would be forced to swag surf all summer long (no hato; once the clock strikes full of brown liquor in the club I turn my swag way up and surf to I get some <cooler chick to the range).
pass the cheeba … hold the coke! …
YESSIR!! I can dig it

Yeah, but they’ve BEEN this way lol. When you look @ some cats, they’re trying to tap into being “different” when they were one thing previously. SRCP ain’t even in left field; they’re in the left field nosebleed seats in the bleachers lol.
I listen to them as this generations P-Funk (though no where near as popular or known) and just know that they’re ahead & it’s on me to catch up. As I said before, you see Kanye and you have to know he takes bits & pieces of what they do, bringing it to the mainstream.
@Gotty, I said they’re a weird looking bunch. I can’t comment on their music, since I don’t roll to their sounds. I tried perforating to the lilts of their opus entitled Rosebud, but I thought fuck this shit and decided to go and watch Citizen Kane instead.
I’m on neither side of the fence, carpa diem, I call em like eye see em.
Michael Ivey and Basehead were jamming with Thom Yorke and Radiohead, but you can’t expect that sort of sound to emerge every time.
Gotty, the only fence, we should be concerned about is D-FENS, I repeat D-FENS because at the end of the day we’re all Falling Down.
but I thought fuck this shit and decided to go and watch Citizen Kane instead.

LOL
good shit
gottys right babypaw…who are you to call some one weird.
no diss but your a little eccentric yourself.
and why do you change your avatar everyday all them shits look exactly the same son.
@Petey, yes, sligthly eccentric, but everything’s authentic/
The Avatar’s are supposed to look the same, like DUH! Because it’s me! What the heck you think I am a T-1000, and I can change what I look like all the time?
Maybe, if I will it, then it will happen, I’ll just clench my buttcheeks real tight now and hold my breath and maybe I can transform myself into Petey, a yellow tweet tweet bird!
@Petey, shit it didn’t work! Now you turned into some cartoon girl, I think it’s the one from Monsters INC. Are you a T-1000?
LMFAO…ur silly duke.
its like if someone moved your favorite easy chair to a different corner in your living room.
its the same chair but somethings subtly different.
i respect your beard game…no homo.
my chin strap dont look half as husky as yours.
@Petey’s it’s interesting you say that, because my brother is watching Invasion Of The Body Snatchers right now on TV, you know the 1978 version with Donald Sutherland and Leonard Nimoy, and here we are talking about moving one’s favourite easy chair to a different corner in the living room, plus I was listening to Jay Electronica’s Attack Of The Clones earlier on. Coincidence?
There is a common theme running here, basically, how we morph and assimilate ourselves to blend into our surrounding environment. I mean let’s get specific, are we anything like our cyber personalities in the real world, or are we masquerading like figures dancing at the monsters ball?
Me, I’m me, here and out there in the real world, just ask my family and friends, a bit far out, but that’s just me.
I wouldn’t want to be locked in a room with Erykah Badu though, she changes men, it’s as if she is the invasion of the body snatchers.
As for facial hair tips, let it grow out wild for a few weeks, wash it with shampoo and conditioner, this helps to invigorate the hair follicles and keep it clean. When you are ready to shape and mould it, just set the beard trimmer to desired length, trim and then shape it with something like a Gillette Mach 3, and voila.
Rubbing olive oil into your beard, will also ensure that it stays soft and thick. If you don’t want to rub it in yourself, get your woman to oil your beard for you, it will do wonders for your relationship, sort of like love potion number nine.

=============================
I’m me 24/7/365
I’m the same asshole in real life that I am online.
*gets depressed*
*downs a bottle of prescription pills*
*realizes they’re Children’s Tylenol”
*looks at nekkid pics of Cassie & Rihanna to cheer myself up*
I think I’m pretty much the same as well. I probably cuss a little less online, but that’s about it.
ROFL
I love this fuckin place.
i dunno about that olive oil treatment…im messican my skin is oily enough im afraid if i tried it id wake up the next morning with pizza face (no lady gaga)
Gotty…
There will never be another PFUNK. I like SA-Ra, but they couldn’t be roadies for Pfunk. George Clinton is one of the baddest composers, writers, arrangers and bandleaders ever.
What happened to the link?
“There will never be another PFUNK. I like SA-Ra, but they couldn’t be roadies for Pfunk. George Clinton is one of the baddest composers, writers, arrangers and bandleaders ever”.
Right 1st of all Sa-Ra,J Davey and so many Groups are Killin it still,Yes ofcourse they could never be P-Funk or Sun-Ra,but we just have to except and appreciate the material for what it is!
I mean thats like saying Jneiro and Flyin Lotus are the next Dilla,or 9th being the next Pete Rock I mean Cmon!
What do U want them 2 do?,it is what it is,just enjoy the music,whether they are the direct descendents of P Funk and Sun-Ra and similar greats or not is not the main thing,lets just take comfort in the sense of known yeah they are influenced by their predecessor and they are producing quality stuff,there shouldn’t be another P Funk or Beattles and what not,aint nothing wrong with being influenced,but things have to change and evolve and most of all try and be original!,I don’t need 2 knw wether their are the reincarnations of George,Ra,JIMI or Rick James!;-D,I just wana hear that music!.So they look and act weird to you so?,to each his own innit!!!;-D
The question is R U feeling that shit or Not?
