Before I interrupt a recording session or, god help me, my laundry, I'd like to know facts. Glad to know many of you white people wanna revive a thread to discuss banalities.

So there must be some offshoot of Godwin's law, wherein one cherishes an artist's work so much that not even their carelessly invoking the name of Hitler can alter one's affection.

People are in real pain. So I understand why my 'good' intent was misconstrued as 'bad'. In trying to express a point, I used 1 of the worst examples possible, Not to support the cruel actions of an unwell, psychopathic Adolf Hitler, but to only exaggerate a show of compassion.— ErykahBadoula (@fatbellybella) January 25, 2018

I guess I always sort of figure Erykah Badu (and Andre Benjamin) will never release another full-on album again, mainly just to keep from wishing it weren't so. But the day I'm wrong will be a good one.

I just found out there's an album called Worldwide Underground in-between her four classics. I feel stupid but I kinda have a fresh new Badu album to listen to. It's good and fun too.

Erykah Badu is among the most commercially successful R&B artists of her generation and artistically the most promising. Eric, dear, this is Alfred.

She disappointed at Pitchfork a few weeks ago. My first Badu show too.

This thread made me check and realize she's playing near me next Thursday. Ugggggggh, I'd love to see her but I don't want to go to a big mega place. On a Thursday. I feel old.

if worldwide underground is her best work, we really are on the way out as a species.
