Erykah Badu Appreciation Thread

_Goldie_ · April 2012

Me and my ex use to debate Jill vs Erykah all dat time, she nice , but i think Badu got her. LOL @ whitney. Her voice was crazy ,but im talkin overall. Erykah Badu writes, produces, and sings her ? . There's only a few Ill put up there. Sade is one of em.

Love her but she isn't a strong enough vocalist to be considered GOAT.

"Didn't cha' know" has gotten played consistently for years now. I love alot of her ? but that song is definitely my favorite. It kind of sets a mood.

if i remember correctly her set was proceeded by wiz khalifa "before he blew up" then followed by Nas & Damian Marley and closed out by Lauryn Hill

One of the best experiences of my life B.... and for that i thank and appreciate the lovely "Fat Belly Bella"

a very dope artist Baduizm and Mama's Gun are great albums

kuskklassic · January 2013

Erykah Badu is my FAV female of all time. im very aware wat soul legends like Gladys Knight, Nina Simone, Sade, Aretha Franklin, Roberta Flack, etc. did in thier hayday but Erykah is my generation and im proud to say she is my fav of all time.

Mary J might have the sales, impact, and consistancy but i gravitate to Erykah more because her music isnt just for "females who are going thru relationship woes".

Lauryn Hill gave us GREAT material but not nearly enough.

Alicia Keys was dope on her first two albums and looked like she way on her way to GOAT status (still a legend tho) but somewhere around "No One" she lost her steam creatively.

Beyonce is the best entertainer this generation but musically she is not even Top 5.

Keyshia Cole is good for singles, albums are ok but never classic.

Jill Scott is also a legend but i never really got into her albums like dat.

Appreciated but I wont go as far as calling her The Greatest Female Artist of Alltime

But who in the neo-soul category can compare?

It's been 3 years since New Amerykah Pt. 2.. What's the word on a new project?

I feel like Badu has never released a weak song. I played Baduizm a lot during an important period of my life but I think Mama's Gun might be her best work. Glad she switched it up real funky on New Amerykah 1.. She always has a real stand out single on every album.

Curious where she's gonna go next musically.

Unlike a lot of these other artists, she's humble enough to perform tributes of her favorite artists, and she does them justice every time.
