It’s one of my favorite songs to perform on stage and it’s still hilarious to me.” I began to challenge all the ‘Tyrones’ to do better. It’s the jam and I love it. As the song blew up, I realized that I had to take some kind of stance. I was just making it up as I was going along. I had no idea that it would have such an impact.
Later, I looked around and saw they were having debates about it on TV and radio. “…i t was a song I literally made up on stage in London in 1997. The lead single released in support of the live album was a track called “Tyrone.” In a 2008 interview with Clutch Magazine, Erykah Badu talked about how “Tyrone” came into being and why it remains a special song to her. Later that year she released a live concert album, appropriately named Live, in November. The title of the project itself, But You Caint Use My Phone is taken from a line in an older telephone related song of her own, “Tyrone,” which we take some time to remember in this week’s edition of #tbt.Įrykah Badu released her debut studio album Baduizm, which featured the popular singles “On & On” and “Next Lifetime” in February of 1997. The eleven tracks included are all in some way telephone related, many sampling older songs with telephone references. The project is called But You Caint Use My Phone and is more akin to a mixtape than an album. Other than Badu’s award show hosting duties, the “On & On” singer has also been keeping busy promoting the release of a new music project she released this past Friday. The lead single released in support of the live album was a track called Tyrone.
Azalea would later take to twitter to respond to Badu’s comments as well as give her fans an update on the status of her next album. Erykah Badu released her debut studio album Baduizm, which featured the popular singles On & On and Next Lifetime in February of 1997. She also made headlines when during the show she made a joke in her opening monologue criticizing Iggy Azalea, basically saying that what she does on record should not be considered rap. She performed the hosting duties for this year’s edition of the Soul Train Music Awards which aired this past weekend.
The normally secluded “Queen of Neo-Soul,” Erykah Badu, has had quite the past week in the public eye.
