Erykah Badu Releases Special Edition Underwater P*ssy Incense
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Jerod Harris / Getty Erykah Badu set the stage in the late 1990s as one of the leading voices of her generation, and her sultry vocals and layered lyrics inspired a bevy of artists over the past two decades. In celebration of the 25th anniversary of her classic debut album Baduizm, Badu released an incense appropriately titled Underwater P*ssy, keeping with the theme of her earlier drops. For those of a certain age, Baduizm was the soundtrack for many a long, hazy night in dorm rooms, house parties, or long sun-soaked drives. The album signified Badu as a major talent in the realms of R&B and Soul, and she gained respect from the Hip-Hop community as the album was replete with Black pride. The album was released on Feb. 11, 1997, and the Underwater P*...

Whew Chile The Shade: Jill Scott Seemingly Responds To Jaguar Wright’s Accusations
Source: Prince Williams / Getty Jaguar Wright is known for her amazing voice, but as of late, her notoriety has come from the bubbling hot tea that she has spilling on major players in the game. While many have remained silent publicly, it seems that Jill Scott has joined Erykah Badu with a seemingly indirect response to Wright and her claims. As previously reported, Jaguar Wright previously called out her former crew The Roots over alleged ill-treatment of Malik B, prior to his passing, among other things. The Philadelphia-bred singer also came at Common, who she claimed sexually assaulted her while they were in a relationship, before apologizing to Tiffany Haddish for the accusation. While The Roots were the initial target, the “Let Me Be the One” singer also set her crosshairs on Soulqu...
The 50 Best Songs of the Year 2000
The year 2000 looms large in pop culture history: the Y2k non-scare, the Seinfeld “Newmannium” episode, the “In the Year 2000″ sketch from Conan O’Brien’s original late-night show, the Hulu series PEN15. And just like, say, the grunge-defined 1991, the year immediately conjures specific sounds: gleaming teen-pop, earnest radio rock, the Neptunes and Timbaland. There’s never a bad time to revisit this music. But in the middle of a pandemic, with America on the verge of collapse, it feels extra comforting — a blast of nostalgia for a time when you could safely exit your home, visit your local mall’s Sam Goody and buy Mystikal’s “Shake Ya Ass” CD single. For this list, our only criteria was that the songs appear on albums or soundtracks released in 2000. Here we go. 50. Papa Roach, “Last Reso...
