Chris Trevett (engineer): I got to work with the Roots, D’Angelo, all those guys. You hate to say it, but that was like the beginning of the end of R&B, you know what I mean? It was not long after that that, if we’re being honest, that it went to shit. [ Laughs.] But that was a classic record, it remains a classic record. Obviously, The Roots are on TV now — but she still had the bigger, and better, album. Badu again waded into controversy the following year with her views toward singer R. Kelly, who was facing accusations of sexual abuse.

Notes

Hunter: As we developed the script, we built it into the story to create a purpose and a mythology to the headwrap. It was brilliant.

Erykah Badu performed at the 10th annual Voodoo Experience in New Orleans the weekend before Halloween 2008. [64] In the United Kingdom, the album charted at number 55 on the UK Albums Chart, on which it spent one week. [65] In France, it debuted at number 49 and spent 11 weeks on the French Albums Chart. [66] In Switzerland, it debuted at number 10 and spent six weeks on the Swiss Albums Top 100. [52] In the Netherlands, the album entered at number 25 and spent seven weeks on the Mega Album Top 100. [67] In Poland, it reached number nine and spent eight weeks on the Polish Albums Chart. [68] The album's highest international charting was number five in Sweden, where it charted for seven weeks. [52] I came up with the name neo-soul, so that people knew that they were getting a certain level of consciousness. That it wasn’t your standard, “Hey, I’ll cheat with you,” or, “When I leave my man, I’ll get with you.” No, Erykah’s talking about reincarnation. “I’ll see you next lifetime.” That level of consciousness wasn’t typical. Massenburg: We used a tone of spirituality because it was close to Buddhism — like, Baduizm, this is who I am. We came up with a campaign around the phrase, “What’s your -izm?” With marketing, it was me and Erykah. That’s it. Everyone thought I was crazy — this little girl from Dallas with this thing on her head — but when they got into the album, they changed their tune. People started wearing headwraps again. Like with D’Angelo, when brothers started wearing cornrows again. It became mainstream again. Poyser: We’re messing around, and she starts soloing over the 12-bar blues — she calls them 12 ba-blues, as a joke. I think I was playing chords underneath with two hands, like “Heart and Soul” style. Then she grabbed the mic, started singing and that was it. Really, we were just playing around. She might have been talking about Questlove — she definitely wasn’t talking about me. [ Laughs.] In July 2015, Badu released a free mixtape of her favorite recordings, describing the set as "carefully and lovingly selected high frequency tones for the soul." The mixtape features mostly vintage funk, soul and jazz songs. [101]After taking some time off to raise her child, Badu returned in 2000 with Mama's Gun. The album was characterized as more organic in sound than her previous studio album, and primarily produced by the Soulquarians and noted bassist Pino Palladino. A remix of one of the album's songs, " Bag Lady", was issued as the first single and topped the R&B charts for seven weeks. The album was well-received, with the lyrical content winning notices from many publications. Reviewers found some of her lyrics hard to decipher on her initial releases. [29] Despite not charting as high as her first two albums, Mama's Gun was another platinum-selling success, and "Bag Lady" was nominated for a Grammy Award. American singer-songwriter Erykah Badu wearing a yellow headwrap attends the 12th Annual Soul Train Music Awards, held at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, California, 27th February 1998. Badu won four awards at the ceremony: ‘R&B/Soul or Rap Album of the Year’ (for ‘Baduizm’); ‘Best R&B/Soul Album (Female)’ (for ‘Baduizm’); ‘Best R&B/Soul Single (Female)’ (for ‘On and On’); and ‘Best R&B/Soul or Rap New Artist’.
