I just fell in love with this new Erykah Badu song "Jump up in the Air (Stay There)!"  The cut is both smooth and wild.  My first reaction was muted, though.  Why did she feature Lil Wayne?  He is about to go to jail for one year.  But, I listened to the kick drum, her lyrics, and her melody and I almost broke my neck slapping this around town (Slap defined here).  I listened deeper to the song and  I understood the underlying tone of its theme and the Lil Wayne feature.   The video confirmed my hunch.  Just take a look at its creative usage of kaleidoscope (that thing that used to entertain folks before Nintendo) imagery.  

Check this video after the JUMP and leave a comment letting me know what you think!
