“You’re In Danger…”

In our original post about Betty Davis, Suave mentioned that she was the predecessor to someone like Badu. Sure enough, if you do the digging, the major footnote regarding Betty is marked by the male figures she was involved with - Jimi & Miles. Funky eccentricities aligned, can we speculate on what Badu’s legacy will be? Will she be remembered more for her music, influences or relationships?
When Badu came out with Baduizm, she threw the music world in a Cobra Clutch. Both critics & fans were enamored, equally as much by the music as they were by her her self-proclaimed weirdness. While her popularity has waned, fans who’ve continued to follow her successive albums will tell you that each one has been a deeper, more wonderful trip into the mystic mind of a magnetic artist & lady. To the populace however, she’s more known for her quirky behavior…along with her boyfriends & baby daddies.
So when they mention the great female artists of her generation — The Lauryn’s & the MJB’s — where will Erykah’s name be mentioned?

Good question, cause honestly, her artistry gets overshadowed by her eccentricities.
lol @ Tyrone
@AmpGeez
It used to be the other way around, same with Michael Jackson
damn, is it just me or is badu fine as hell? she’s like half naomi campbell, half whitney (before the crack)…no wonder she’s got that hold over dudes…i’d probably switch my whole style up and dumb out if i was waxin that ass myself

Love this Lady in concert and if you’ve ever seen her she’s just mesmorizing. It’s like she’s high and wants everybody 2 join her, u don’t even realize what kind of spell she has u under until it’s too late, in the end u feel as if u went backstage and hit it with her. Oh and 3 successful Baby Daddies at that, shit I’ll take 1 any day…
She got them voodoo eyes like her cousin David D.
classic breakbeats from the 90s rave scene:

Joi is more closer to Bette Davis than Badu by a long shot…
^ yeah 1.) there’s similarities and 2.) how many people have a real knowledge of who Joi is, so how far do you think that convo would go?
NOWHERE
I have seen a good number of shows, 150 or so if i had to guess. Still to this day the dopest show that I’ve seen was Erykah right after Baduizm came out. It was a small venue in Seattle and the show was intimate, spiritual, and just vibing like no other show that I have been to. Home girl is fresh.
Yes Gotty The Cobra Clutch Wrestling creeps in again hell yeah
she’s beautiful
That is one fat pums
Love me some Erykah…
She’ll be known by
1) Her eccentric ways
2) Music
3) Baby Daddy’s
Not only will she have plaques on her living room wall, but the names of each man who tatted his name on her walls!
However, she’s just a human being..a fine one i might add…
Anotha Time,
MaLLY
There’s no reason to make distinctions at all, before we knew she was weird, we knew she was talented anyway. I’m a fan of all of it. Her’s may be the one pussy I’d place on a pedestal. And those eyes…
Blah blah blah @ TC & Gotty…
Lets see Badu do a show with a 3 piece band and a microphone…
^ are you serious…she’d still tear it down! She could do it wit no music…no lyrics either. Pootie Tang style!!!
p.s. Funk yo couch!
@Primo Says:

FIRST female to have a ” live single on radio in our era .(tyrone )
chic directed All her own videos .
writes and produces all albulms
is a natural actor , trained dancer
and captured the hearts and respect of 3 stacks , common , and THE LEGENDARY D.O.C. ( who all still got mad respect for her in fact ,
maybe cause she nice on the mic as an mc too .)

plus the chic is fine AS HELL and so damn honest .
shit , shes too much to swallow for these hos .
+ a ” real ” healer thru music and sonic vibration .
ask around .
the urban legend says , you shouldnt look e . badu directly in the eye or you will be caught in the baduizm . well i looked . im finished .
erykah badu is the prototype (see 3000) , the light (see common ) , and no one can do it better (see DOC) and this jay electronica cat can tell you the rest .
period .
