New AmErykah Return of the Ankh Suffers A Pushback
I can’t say I didn’t see this one coming…according to Rap-up.com, “New Amerykah Part II: Return of the Ankh” has been pushed back to March 16th. So now, Erykah Badu fans like myself have to wait even longer for this great piece of artwork.

Throwback Joint of the Week
This week’s throwback joint is brought to you by the lovely E. Badu {MMIM fav} with her hit single “Other Side of the Game”. You can feel her soul pouring out over this track as she sings and the live version is even a better rendition. The video compliments the song perfectly in my book and I love how this video was shot with one camera, showing just one frame. I definitely remember having this on my playlist on heavy rotation for it always puts me in a mellow mood. Let MMIM know of any memories this song may have sparked for you.

I am not even going to lie, I think this song is awful. However, if you are into the afro-punk movement, you may appreciate this. Let MMIM know your thoughts.

Music Quote of the Week
“They don’t know their language. They don’t know their God. They take what their given. Even whan it feels odd. They say their grandfathers and grandmothers work hard for nothing and we still in this ghetto. So they end up in prisons, they end up in blood.”
