Erykah Badu singles poll

"jump up in the air" should not have co-won this but i'm still annoyed it never got a proper release (or even a HQ mp3 out there)

How are you supposed to only choose one. I would have been stuck between Danger, Get Munny and Soldier

For me, it would've been a contest between:

Didn't Cha Know
The Healer
Tyrone
Turn Me Away (Get MuNNY)
Cleva
Soldier
On & On
Back In The Day (Puff)
Gone Baby, Don't Be Long
Window Seat

Good list.

Bag Lady. I once drunkenly attempted this song at karaoke. Unwise.

all the Baduizm singles are a must, "Next Lifetime" and "Other Side of the Game" are amazing

srsly weighing whether to put my name in to run an ballot poll on her

Back in the Day is such a jam

there isn't a song on this list (with badu as lead artist) that i don't consider essential

and yet thinking about badu singles still seems to barely scratch the surface of her discography

there isn't a song on this list (with badu as lead artist) that i don't consider essential

badu deep cuts pox:

the cell
out my mind (just in time)
green eyes

twinkle
penitentiary philosophy
that hump
i want you

a.d. 2000
master teacher

The Cell
Green Eyes
Love
I Want You
Master Teacher
That Hump
Out My Mind, Just in Time
My Life
My People
A.D. 2000

Change in ...& On for The Grind. Not sure why I put a Dead Prez song on there, even tho it works great on Worldwide

The Cell
Bag Lady (Single Mix)
Umm Hmm
Next Lifetime
Clevah
Me
Didn't Cha Know
Gone Baby, Don't Be Long
On and On
Master Teacher
Tyrone
Drama
Green Eyes
Kiss Me On My Neck

and yet thinking about badu singles still seems to barely scratch the surface of her discography

definitely. for me, she's an albums artist, inasmuch as if I hear a song of hers I want to hear the whole album, the context matters, the standard of material is dizzyingly high.

You all better be around when the ballot poll I just volunteered to run kicks off in 3 years.

my top 5 in some order are probably

tyrone, clevah, bag lady, window seat and next lifetime

shit, in 3 years we may even have another Badu album, if we're lucky

I was thinking the same thing.

Supposed to be one this year isnt there?

I was not looking for no love affair

My eyes are green.

Window Seat

how did "next lifetime" not receive any votes???

i ran something about erykah for her birthday last week :)
