(5/2/02, 1 p.m. ET) -- MeShell Ndegeocello sought radio adds Monday
(April
29) and Tuesday (April 30) for the remix of her single "Pocketbook,"
the
first single from her album, Cookie: The Anthropological Mixtape due
out
June 4. The remix, produced by Missy Elliott and Rockwilder, features
Tweet
and Redman.
Ndegeocello told LAUNCH that she was pleased that Elliott, Rockwilder,
Tweet, and Redman appeared on the record. "I thank them above all the
other
people because I asked, and they did it," Ndegeocello said. "I'm just
thankful that they thought it was cool to participate because so many
other
people couldn't."
According to a feature story on Ndegeocello in May 2002 issue of Vibe
magazine, Jill Scott, Erykah Badu, and Musiq Soulchild were all invited
to
appear on Cookie, but did not for various reasons.
Ndegeocello is especially excited about Redman's verses. "Hey, Redman
is on
my track," she told LAUNCH. "I think is flow is incredible, ingenious.
His
whole use of metaphors. I'm just thankful that he did it. I'm thankful
that
he's helping to get people to hear my s--t."
Ndegeocello expects Cookie to receive more support from black radio
than her
previous efforts. "I have all the black cache artists," Ndegeocello
said. "I
got a rapper on my record. That's what I'm trying to say. I'm going to
get
on radio and everything."
Cookie also features excepts from political activists Angela Davis and
Dick
Gregory, as well as music appearances from Lalah Hathaway, Caron
Wheeler,
and Talib Kweli.
