    was the monkey at the end a pop shot at B.E.P for making Monkey Business?

    Dan, I have NO idea what the monkey at the end meant… I was more curious about the “Hey Ya” parody…. was she just paying homage, was she trying to send a message to her baby daddy? *shrug*

    here’s what I saw in order

    Rufus ft chaka
    Diana Ross
    Funkadellic
    Eric B & Rakim
    Ohio Players (okay needs to make that into a shirt)
    Minnie Ripperton
    Labelle Chamelleon
    De La Soul
    Beatles (I thought it was the Gorillaz, my bad)
    Nas
    Grace Jones
    Earth Wind & Fire

    This video is also a clear plea to music lovers to SUPPORT AND BUY GOOD MUSIC!

    In an age where CD sales are down and popular music is watered down Erykah is paying homage to a day and a mentality where people supported their favorite true-blue artists. If we truly respect these artists then we’d support them by buying their albums and encouraging others to do so as well. As my friend Van Dell Savage would say: “these days you buy a great album not for the album itself, but so that the artist(s) will be encouraged to make the next one.”
