Erykah Badu took to Twitter a few days ago to blast Papoose for using her voice without her official permission–or anything else.
As reported by DDotOmen.com, “This Papoose song Cure,” she said. “I sang those vocals 10 years ago. That’s 2 babies ago. Sheeeit. So mcs just throwing out old material- no paperwork..”
Papoose’s continuously delayed upcoming album The Nacimera Dream apparently contains unauthorized vocals from the Neo-soul artist on the song “The Cure.” After hearing the song that was released to the public five days ago Erykah Badu claimed that said vocals are a decade old. No official statement has been made by Badu’s camp.
This isn’t the first time Erykah Badu has called out an artist for something she didn’t like. Last June, Badu took aim at The Flaming Lips’ Wayne Coyne for distorting something she was with. Badu blasted the group’s front man and video director Wayne Coyne over what she called a “tasteless, meaningless, shock motivated video.”

What do you expect. It’s Papoose.
lol
rotflmao
nothing wrong with that. song is still dope.
shock motivated video? ha like walking down a road naked while little kids are watching you isnt schock motivated?
meanwhile you read a bunch of kids who ruin this site and you say nothing
I used to think this ho was hot. But damn look at her face now.
She still got a fat ass tho!!!
^^Word. I’d fuck Badu with no hesitation.
true facts. dat ass!
Papoose is a bum.
funny i was just listening to this album earlier. i like it.
It’s that real New York street shit. I like it too.
That song and the whole album is actually dope. It’s Papoose, and not 2006, so naturally I was expecting anything from dog shit to average at best. Pleasantly surprising
It’s a very great and amazing song, I felt like Erykah would have sung a little better though but overrall it’s great
Instead of focusing on this shit review the album man damn. I swear these blogs. I don’t know who’s worse the writers or the gossip loving ass people.
Badu fucked every dope rapper ! I wonder if wayne next……
nah he aint dope enough
kendrick next
Okay Erykah
Lets Fuck And Get It Over With..
papoose gonna flop
only making money off bus ads
they probably let him have it 10 years ago but then he took 10 years to put out the album and forgot they authorized it
…lol…..
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
i wonder has she heard the wu block album wen they used her voice on that “driving around”
That was probably authorized though… Sheek and Ghost stayed relevant, papoose lost buzz before he could drop his first album… Hopefully his #s let him live cause he can spit
Her ass stank
btw HHDX u spelled the album name wrong juuuuust sayin. get ur shit together people.
This woman always looking for something to keep her name being talked about. My goodness I can’t remember anything she has done besides call Tyrone and making children with Andre 3000. Known fact she has all sorts of money so why is she crying that Papoose making a song that won’t even hit radio. I guess I don’t understand because I lack millions of dollars and lost my career.
Use a bit of logic..if someone steals your work and creativity, you don’t have the right to remain silent. No matter who evidently stole from you. Its 2013 why jump in a lake of fire when you’ve been in the game long enough to know how to get what you need done in the correct manner
^^^^^. if this was really about money she would’ve picked up the phone and called Pap or her lawyer. She was fronting.
its HER work, you act like she injecting herself into some shit that aint even her business.
If Pap paid you for the vocals then it’s his for fuck sake all the Pac, Biggie & Marley material coming out now ain’t brand new!!!
i think that is the point… that he didnt pay for the vocals
Be paid weekly and earn like a boss! I just bought a great Mazda MX-5 from having earned $7126 this past 4 weeks and $10k past-month. Without any doubt this is the easiest and most comfortable job Ive ever had. I began this 6 months ago and right away was bringing in more than $83 per/h. Heres what Ive been doing Epic2.com_
“I they already have the cure by now.”
What that mean?
….i think she meant,”they already have the “Cure” by now”….a reference to the vocals being soo old……
she “meant to write “think” after “I”. She was just being a wiseguy
It’s The Nacirema Dream not “The Nacimera Dream”. This is really unprofessional.
LOL Papoose gave some wack ass response on twitter
PAPUSSY TOO BROKE TO PAY TO SAMPLE…ERYKAH U WRONG FOR PUTTING HIS BUSINESS OUT THERE…DONT U HAVE LIKE 20 BABY DADDYS (FROM UR 20 CHILDREN) THAT U GET CHILD SUPPORT(S) FROM? U DONT NEED THE MONEY BADU. IF U GET BROKE JUST GET PREGNANT BY ANOTHER NIGGA N U GOOD AGAIN ON CHILD SUPPORT(EXCEPT U GETTING PREGNANT BY BROKE ASS NIGGAS THEN U FUCKED).
Niggas think everybody who ain’t on the radio is broke.
^true which is completely bullshit
She should’ve picked up the phone and did this. Why air him on twitter when his album just dropped? Kinda foul, Badu.
Cosign. These recording artists are all scandalous they love to start some bullshit
Well I guess she figured he couldnt give her the courtesy of a call so why should she? When people publicly misrepresent you you air them out publicly to set the record straight.
I mean I understand he was not being malicious but 10 years is a long ass time.
This would be interesting if anyone heard the song other than papoose, his family, and one of Badu’s execs. Kill yourself Pap. Youre washed up.
