Hello? - Somewhere between the late ‘90s and early ‘00s, cellphones became an extension of our bodies. Look around you, the person next to you most likely has a cellphone in arm’s reach, if not already in their hands. Simply put, phones hold a special place in the lives of everyday people. Earlier this month, Erykah Badu announced that she’s releasing a mixtape titled But You Cain’t Use My Phone, and guess what? It’s 100 percent phone-related. Yes, the R&B goddess is showing us that she too is human at times. Since we only know of two song titles (“Hotline Bling (Remix)” and “Phone Down”), we took a stab at 11 possible phone-related song titles. We’ll find out when the mixtape releases on Thanksgiving weekend to see which ones made the cut. —Janice Llamoca (Photo: Ethan Miller/BET/Getty Images for BET)
