I Wanna Be Where You Are By Erykah Badu & The Roots

One of the greatest things coming out of Michael’s deaths to me is that people are singing and dancing for him out of celebration of his life. We have a lot to say about the BET awards for instance, and how it lacked this simple thing. How hard is it if you’re a celebrity to pick up a mic and sang a simple song or to put on your dancing shoes and bust a move?

I’m so disappointed in a lot of artists, man. I want to here heartfelt covers and see reinactments. Am I trippin’ or is that not a good way to pay homage? What’s hard here people?

I say all that to say, Erykah and The Roots sort of went in & it was just really great to hear it. Enjoy.

If you’ve been watching the show, you know this isn’t the first time we’ve interviewed or featured an artist. We’ve done shows featuring MURS, Tanya Morgan, Che Grand, & Rhymefest as well!! We have more in store, so stay tuned!! Please contact us if you are interested in having an artist featured on the show, & subscribe to our YouTube page to catch old episodes!!

This time around we shot the shit w/Anthony David, the Grammy nominated singer of “Words” feat. India.Arie.  We talked about everything from neo soul to brown liquor vs. white liquor & freak shit!! This is a two parter, so enjoy!!
