The Black Eyed Peas surprised everyone on Friday debuting a new single and video for the song "Yesterday" on Apple Music, which pays tribute to a number of old school hip hop classics. One person who we're guessing wasn't thrilled was the venerable soul songstress Erykah Badu. Miss Badu took to social media today to point out the similarities between the new Peas' video and her video for the song "Honey", the lead single from her 2008 album "New Amerykah Part One (4th World War)".

Director Josh Trank recently revealed that Run The Jewels' El-P helped to score the end credits. El-P went on to confirm his involvement, adding that he created a new piece for the movie with contributions from Little Shalimar.
