Is Erykah about to lose her US hip-hop credentials? (Kevork Djansezian)

Dallas R&B star Erykah Badu proclaimed she identifies with Palestinian hip-hop while in Tel Aviv, Israel today for an upcoming concert performance. According to an Associated Press story, Ms. Badu called the Palestinian hip-hop scene part of her "tribe" of hip-hop. She said, "They use (hip-hop) as a form of liberation, as a form of pre-resistance, as a form of therapy." She also defends controversial Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, whose statements have been tagged "bigoted and anti-Semitic" by the Anti-Defamation League. "(Farrakhan is) not an anti-Semite. He loves all people." Ms. Badu's upcoming album, New AmErykah, will be released Feb. 26, the date of Savior's Day, which is a Nation of Islam holiday.
