Interesting interview. Some of her comments, when taken out of context (which, of course, they were and will be), are problematic but when you read the whole interview, it makes sense.

She could've definitely used a better example but I understood her point and perspective 100%. That said, I also love the fact that she genuinely gives ZERO.

In context they’re still very questionable. She takes a very naive stance. And honestly, she’s shown her ass a couple times prior to this, so she’s lost some latitude for me.

I can only imagine if some Country star used Jim Crow, Strom Thurmond, or David Duke to try to make the same point..

That's fair and obviously, I respect your opinion. I feel her heart is in the right place but she just chose the wrong words. I feel like even she is aware of that, at least, as she at least attempted to explain her point of view.

Ted Bundy was really charming and had a way with women.
John Wayne Gacy was a jovial clown.
Benito Mussolini had a persuasive manner about him.
While technically accurate, all ignore reality and historical context. Why should we care if Hitler was a good painter? What is the purpose of the exercise?
As woke as she tries to appear, she sounds incredibly naive.

This is too cute, I can't believe she performed all of "Green Eyes." I need a new Erykah album like five years ago, why does she take so damn long?

Mama's Gun turns 20 today. I can't say enough about that album, one the greatest R&B/Soul albums of my lifetime IMO. Nice little retrospective over at Stereogum.

I always felt like "Honey" was a bigger hit...I guess I watched that music video too many times on MTV.
