Hair is another theme that runs through your career. Those are all the elements I see that we have in common. We are all, I feel, very giving when it comes to our art-selfishly giving-and very honest.
And another thing is we have the same kind of-I don’t know-it’s a tribe almost. You are on the cutting edge of hip-hop, but you also know where hip-hop came from. I agree that you don’t sound alike, but one thing you all have in common is a deep knowledge of music, soul and R&B music in particular. It’s a thang that you can’t really put your finger on. I think what we have in common is that thang, and it has an a in it. We use musicians in common, which makes us sound alike, but we have totally different viewpoints and come from different places, musically. It’s the thing we all have, and a lot of us who you named, our music doesn’t sound alike, really. They called it neo-soul, but they mistitled it. To me, it’s the funk movement, you know? That’s what it is to me-it’s the funk. I don’t know what it’s called, what the movement is called. Mama’s Gun set many children out in the world, and I see them manifesting whatever it is. And most of those artists came up with you in the so-called neo-soul movement. Other artists-like Questlove, Common, Andre 3000, D’Angelo, and Jill Scott-play a large role in your life. A little naïve girl and a very wise old woman. There’s a little girl, and there’s a very, very old woman. Your stage name, Erykah, has the Egyptian symbol “ka” in it, which refers to a spiritual double. Your music is part hip-hop and part soul. It is the second volume documenting a creative wet season during which Badu was working with producers like Madlib and Karriem Riggins and writing several songs a day.Ī few themes come up a lot when researching your life and career. In March, Badu released New Amerykah Part Two: Return of the Ankh. Part of her success is due, no doubt, to the fact that she is brutally honest, especially in her music. But then again, Badu isn’t known for glad-handing. You know how people used to have Jet magazine spread on their table? I got all the Wax Poetics covers.” Maybe she’s being serious, or maybe it’s just part of the charm. In the middle of her first answer, Badu pauses and says, “ Wax Poetics is one of my favorite magazines ever. Our conversation is punctuated by the laughter of her children in the background, a reminder that Badu is a mother on top of everything else. She knows that her fashion sense, spiritual beliefs, and music videos-which she directs herself-resonate with millions of people. Badu knows that songs like “Tyrone” have inspired a generation of women, and albums like Mama’s Gun have changed the musical landscape. Third, she is confident and charming as hell. But she’s weird in the way that Einstein was weird, and the way that Prince is weird, and the way that all people who possess creative genius are weird. This is a woman who once said her fantasy man is Batman and that the concept of time is for White people. Badu! Iconic!!!” also commented content creator AmbersCloset.Second thing is, she’s weird. “The baddest to ever do it,” wrote Badu’s daughter, Puma Curry. “Yaaaaassssss!!!!!!,” commented Taraji P. The four-time Grammy winner surprised her fans, as she doesn’t often share her dancing skills on stage or with her fans.
On social media, Erykah Badu reacted to her appearance during Megan’s set by sharing multiple photographs taken during the performance in her Instagram story.
Real mf Texas sh!t Real mf hot girl sh!t.” In addition to Megan and Badu, other artists present at Gurtenfestival included the Black Eyed Peas, The Chemical Brothers, Anitta, and Seeed. “I did not know she was bout to get up here and cut up like this in Switzerland. The 27-year-old rapper posted a video of Badu’s dancing on Instagram and referenced them being both from Texas. “When I tell yallll my girl Erykah Badu shocked thee sh*t outta me,” wrote Megan Thee Stallion on Instagram.
