Usually guests match the breakfast clubs energy... But Badu SET THE TONE HERE 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾. Had them boys Locked in to HER energy, spirit, intelligence, humor, everything! She's just something different 👸🏾✨
I loved the part when she said that as a Doula her contract is with the baby. I really felt that! Her recognising that the unborn child is not simply a reflection or extension of his/her parents but a divine spiritual being in its right was so amazing to me. 💖💞✨
@Quintin Burnett Like she said. We were feeling the music back in the day. And now the younger generation listens to the words. I have found myself, for years, loving the music and, now as of recently, I am beginning to really understand her words. She always has had a deep meaning to every syllable she utters 😁!
Erykah Badu is like no other. She stands in her truth and hasn’t ever wavered just evolved,her energy is so infectious but so powerful, love her individualism, very unique and talented lady.
Yeah......... an illuminate witch. Did you hear what she was saying about that child birth shit. Look at her outfit. Jewelry, sharp silver teeth. She eats babies. Casting spells. She said she tries to do terrible things....
@@TarotByBayou333I am a Pisces as well and many people tell me they know me but they don’t lol. And also I hear a lot about how my presence is felt when I am in the room!
@@lifeofsi9990 that’s how they set themselves up thinking they know everything about us when in fact they don’t. And even though we can be quiet creatures, our presence is def intense and can be felt in a room of many. ♓️🖤🙏🏽
Its so crazy to see how envy and charlamagne have a complete tonal shift in their energies with Badu in the building. Just shows how powerful her vibes are.
for me, i dont like how she talks, like not the words she saying but like her accent or something makes her sound ghetto or something even tho shes older and wise as hell
I'm South African. It's amazing how comparable to our culture what she is expressing is. Her spirituality is African to the core. Not diluted. I wish I could sit down with her for an hour. Our ancestors follow us, today I am certain.. I suppose that's why we have always loved Miss Badu in the Motherland. Love and Light Camagu!
@Edward Robinson no disrespect, but isn’t that too broad of a way to think? Africa consists of several hundred traditions and cultures. As an African myself, some one from South Africa had little in common with me culturally
Love Erykah Badu, she's a great artist and a legend. But what undiluted part of "African" spirituality involves taking mushrooms in South America? or halucigenics at all? No, this is all Western (or perhaps South American) - unless it reflects spirituality in South Africa then say so and share details. We just say anything these days. This is not even black American spirituality... white and Asians in America been on mushrooms for twenty years now, with black people just getting on. Ifa divination system is (West) African. Vodun, derived in good part from Ifa, is (West) African. Candomble/Santeria/Obeah are diasporic practices of (West) Africa that trace to Ifa.
Badu taught me. I grew as a weird black girl who never fit into a box. I find it so funny how ppl teased me for listening to her and being different. And now everybody trying to be on that wave. She taught me its ok to not be like everybody else
Girl no one teased me back in the day as a kid but my husband did a few years ago when we were dating but I put him on and one day he was blasting On and On 😂. I said wait a minute 😂
I saw her at a traffic light in Dallas about 3 weeks ago!!! Even though our interaction was brief, I loved our short conversation and her energy is so positive and amazing! I love this woman so much!
@@hottrucker24 I live in Dallas too and can’t wait to see her in passing. My aunt lived near her for years and never caught a glimpse of her shadow lol
Erykah Badu's voice (especially at the end) relaxed me so much to the point, I said that her team should have her do a Sleep Story episode on Calm or a Talk/Head Space collaboration. Where they record her voice telling us, the listener, a story that calms us down and relaxes us to sleep. Like a lullaby or how you find those soothing nature sounds that help us sleep on UA-cam, like the ocean, waterfalls, rain and wind sounds.
I put this on my “watch later” to listen to while i do my Saturday cleaning. When i tell you i was so in tuned i just had to sit down n listen i thought i was there with her. Her presence energy and power is out of this world. A true queen ❤ i grew up listening to her music and i felt really connected and understanding of her the older i got. PROTECT THIS QUEEN
The fact Charlemagne reeled Envy in to get on pace is even magnetic For Black Kings to recognize Vibration and Energy in their Presence..She made me cry at the moment she said " Do what makes You the Best version of You"..Bravo for this Interview.❤️🤦🏽♀️
I love Erykah because I love anybody who has the courage to unapologetically be themselves! Erykah doesn't try to be like anybody else which makes her unique! I get so sick of women (and men) who spend their entire lives trying to mimic and be like everyone else ACCEPT THEIR TRUE UNIQUE SELVES! SMH!!!
As I’m looking at the comments, everybody talking about her energy from the first second she even started to sing the energy was set. This is why I love this woman so much her music. Her spirituality is just amazing.
Ms. Badu came in the studio and balanced/shifted the whole energy. I love it . I’m happy and very comfortable with her energy at this time. It’s a very calming. 😌💐
This woman is amazing I’ve been so enlightened by everything about her since I was 20 years old. She helped me grow in spaces & energies I had no clue about until listening to her music. I’ll be 43 this year & much respect watching her journey is always my pleasure ❤
Same here and I, too will be 43 this year. I listened to her since her first album as a teenager in 97. Her music was and is integral to my growth in becoming a woman and healing for so many of us!
"No, let's be transparent for my sisters out there" ~Erykah Badu That was one of the most realest moments for me. I thank her for that particular moment right there.
"I've been waiting for them to grow up, to have somebody to talk to them". As a young man within the age range of 21-30, That sentence from Badu hit me deep in my soul. It was as though she was talking to me directly. When i had came to an understanding of who I AM, listening to her songs was like Ms.badu reinforcing me the statement that "i'm not going crazy", That this spiritual journey is real, so don't worry i'm here to guide you although I can't PHYSICALLY be there with you. Ms. Badu i'm definitely growing, and I hope to sit with you one day and spend hours conversing with you, drinking and absorbing your spiritual milk!!!
Man, I can talk to Erykah Badu all day everyday. I love to hear her talk. Her energy radiates through sound. I can only imagine what her presence does for the energy
I think the thing that comes through so clearly in this interview is her genuineness. A lot of people seem to project a caricature of themselves for the public. With Erykah, you can tell she is just being true to herself.
The fact that she is a doula for those transitioning out of this world is so profound for me. Some people don’t have family, or there family just can’t do that. No one should die lonely even though we all have to go that way alone
Erykah for me IS music. Baduizm was the first album I ever heard. I was a baby and my parents played all her songs every week since I can remember. I became a music artist and badu is always my way back to source, back to why I wanted to make music in the first place. Saw her live for the 5th time at a music festival in Europe last year and her energy is just so magnetizing every time. Her inner beauty translates in her physical beauty….radiant. Axé badu…got nothing but pure love for you
I always knew Erykah was an Empath, clairvoyant and very intuitive...I'm the same and I can relate to everything she's saying...❤ I have been listening to her music for over two decades and I knew she was always telling what is and who we are and should be as a whole as well as individually...She's a great artist! ❤
I've always thought I'm the same as you and Erykah; an empath. It takes me a while to release and get back to myself, after talking to certain people about their issues because I absorb whatever it is that they are feeling. Also, the older I get, the more I'm able to pick on people's energy and see visions of things before they happen. For instance, my ex, who I fell out with 4 years ago andhave not had any contact with, out of the blue, texted me. Mind you, a few weeks before he reached out, his energy was heavy on me for no reason. So that was weird and yet, made sense to me at the same time. But yeah, Erykah oozes enlightenment. Even if she tried to hide it, it would come through
I will say this as well, Badu is educating and captivating. She is guiding them to calm and understanding places they usually don't have on this show. She's an elder to more ppl now than a contemporary. Dopeness
You are now watching black excellence at its finest. This woman is a queen and an inspiration to a whole generation. I will always love her as an artist and a creative soul. ❤
I just love how calm everybody is during this interview. She is so relaxing to hear. But God willing. If I’m blessed with another baby I would LOVE to have Erykah as my doula.
I had the pleasure of seeing her in concert and I was so impressed by her grace and energy on stage I’ve been a fan 31 years and my 8 year old sings her songs with me now. She is magical ❤
This woman has been one of my top ideal women. She has always been authentically herself. I’ve heard I give ppl her vibes… grateful she’s spreading wisdom and knowledge to us all.
Absolutely J'adore the sense of peace and calmness that surrounds her, and how her energy commands others to get into the same energy. Great interview....I'm sitting here just wanting more!
Y’all see the vibe she automatically set in a room? She really sets the tone in whatever she does. I can feel that ish through UA-cam. 1 of 1, Erykah Badu 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🔥🔥
I'm a 32 year old African-American Male. And my mother would bump Erykah, Prince, 112, Brian McKnight, etc. I grew up on ALL the Erykah Badu hits. I remember her musical performance on All That...w/ the incense. And as I got older I could appreciate the Window Seat videos of the world lol
"We thank you for the people we compare ourselves to" I just love how she showed gratitude even for what we consider wrong or painful just as well as the good. Appreciate the duality of life. Down to the people we argue with. So powerful
@@neish9520 Leviticus 19:31 31 “ ‘Do not turn to mediums or seek out spiritists, for you will be defiled by them. I am the LORD your God. Be careful but I know you may not follow the Bible but in case you do 😬
@@KinuGoddess777 With all due respect our Ancestors weren't Christians. They had their own Spiritual belief system. It wasn't evil but the pale faces had to beat fear and religion into them. I respect what the Church did during the Civil Rights movement but we're slowly going back to the ways of the Ancestors. If you want to keep practicing Christianity that's fine but don't preach to us when it's not helping us change our condition ✌️
Pisces season is phenomenal just as all seasons I love her eternally and she has the most powerful and gracious spirits of our generation period... baduizum hands down one of my favorite albums of all time
Erykah Badu is one of my go to when I need music for healing or to get me in a better mindset. feel good and inspiring, who has heard green eyes or out my mind just in time?
I feel in love with this woman when I was 8 years old In a hotel room in San Diego on vacation with my grandma, hearing her for the first time on a cassette player. Had next lifetime on repeat.
I was 17 when Baduizm dropped and I rocked that tape until it popped 😂 I was living behind the times bc that was '97 and I should have moved on to CDS by then 😂. She has been my fave artist since she came out. No one else compares to her. She has everything!
I am 41 and lately I have become more spiritual can't explain why. I appreciate Badu's music more now than when I watched her on BET back in the day I get it.
Erykah Badu and Jennifer Lewis are two women that I enjoy listening to so much. I always take something with me every single time. Great interview, incredible energy as always.
Yessss! Erykah is my forever fave and Jenifer Lewis is always real, honest, and raw. If you haven't read her book, The Mother of Black Hollywood make sure you do!!
This was my favorite interview of the breakfast club! I would love to meet her one day because her InnerG is everything. I was feeling down but her spirit helped to uplift mine. Thank you 🙏🏾.
Thank you so much for this interview. It gave me the insight into myself that I had no words to. Erykah’s clear vision has shown me that it’s ok to seek yourself out in quiet times and that there are so many more levels to this experience.
Erykah instantly Relaxed me in this interview 🫠 She made me think of a person that was once in my life. How I miss him dearly. A one-of-a-kind person just like her. A ♓️ just like her. He had a healing spirit & healing hands just like Erykah as well. And funny we both had off-beat sense of humors too. Good memories. Made me 😃& 😆. Time to play some Erykah music now that she’s putting herself out there again
I never leave a comment, but I had to for this. I resonated so much with this entire interview. She’s turning 52, I’m turning 25. Both Pisces and I just truly feel so similar and understood.
Cha n Envy were like puppies waiting for approval....Erika is the epitome of presence beyond our realm. In years gone by she would have been burned at the stake before being too intune with herself and her surroundings....love her ❤️🔥👊🏾
Goddess Erykah never disappoints! Though a lot of her words and music goes over the head of a lot of folks …. Her wisdom is something worth comprehending Ann’s something for young women (and men) to aspire to! Blessing to you Ms. Badu ❤️🙏🏽
I loved her music when she first came out. It was refreshing. I'm happy I haven't heard any of her music after her first album. I'm excited to rediscover her and her music. She is definitely one of the most interesting people to me.
Met her in Dallas years ago and I promise her energy was exactly like it was in this interview. She's one of the most humble kindest people I've met. She TALKED to me like a normal human not like a star talking to a average man.
Thank you for writing the sound check of my life. Your words made me feel understood and your sound called me to take a journey into my own soul. I appreciate every part of you sis. I'm 40, you raised me too.
This was absolutely Amazing, I'm happy to See, Listen and Absorb this conversation. I will def be watched it again and again. Erykah always has the GEMS! 🙌
Y'all thank you , been awhile since someone finally asked the questions Ms Badu deserves. She is a Pisces like myself, I feel her from my zodiac and back. Her wisdom and music is something I am thankful for
I've found Erykah Badu to be the most beautiful woman inside and out for almost 30 years now. Every time I see or hear her speak or sing I fall more in love with her whole being.
She’s powerful because she is so comfortable in her skin and who she is. And learned how to protect her energy EARLY in life!!!!!!! We are learning it now later in adult hood
I feel her energy and I am not even in that room with them. She is one of my favorite people in the world, simply because she is her, She is a true spirit, always of service. Channeling her energy. That is super Dope. Odes to the Queen!!
You don't know how much this interview means to me. South Texas Rocks! Been following all of you for years. Following Badu since college. I'm her same age from Texas. Beautiful wisdom and truth for our continuing journeys. Awesome😀🥰
This interview is addicting. This is why everyone loves and can’t get enough of Pisces energy. So glad the universe is catching up to who we’ve always been ..tapped in, alert, sensual and smart 🙃♓️
I see why all her children’s fathers will LITERALLY KILL SOMEONE about her. She literally is the first woman I ever heard TRULY EXPLAIN WHAT A MAN GOES THROUGH. She different FOR REAL🔥
Her energy radiates pure positivity, peace , calm strength, and growth. I think we all sort of want to find a few of those things and just be of service to others. Thank you for this amazing interview. may your higher power enlighten you all and keep you all blessed and highly favored ✨️ 🙏 🙌
Great interview with Erykah Badu !! I am a Dallas native and I enjoy seeing her realness and how TBC guys are really focused on her "light" and beauty!! Blessings to Badu
I love her realizam about life...her grandma story that you don't have to stay in that spot... You can move away. Her calmness and her self-control vibe. You rock girl..
She dropped Baduizm in my birth year in 97’ and I remember my dad playin it throughout the house . Every year for my birthday I call up the black owned radio station and I request On & On because we are the same age. Welcome to the Breakfast Club Ms Badu !!
March 1st Pisces, black and queer, and I have loved Erykah since I was in the 4th grade. As a singer I remember singing her songs to my friends because I listened to both sides of baduizm on cassette. Certainly still hits me in a way that I can’t explain. Also thank you for that prayer Badu! So insightful, humble and real! ✨🙏🏾
I love how comfortable in her skin she is….she is GOALS for being vulnerable and still powerful. Envy’s question/comment about the pandemic was completely off and I’m glad she didn’t walk into it.
Usually guests match the breakfast clubs energy... But Badu SET THE TONE HERE 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾. Had them boys Locked in to HER energy, spirit, intelligence, humor, everything! She's just something different 👸🏾✨
Absolutely! Especially when she said, “he can probably finish his sentences” Charlemagne stopped cutting off or commenting on Envy’s questions.
Makes sense because she surely did say she ends up sort of ruling interviews she is on. Fascinating
Facts, I said the same thing
Yep I saw that also

She singlehandedly changed the entire tone of the Breakfast Club. This is Queening 👑

Yessss..power!💫
Literally!!! Envy slowed down his questions and started to listen more.
The Breakfast Club seems serene this morning. Thanks for how your spirit projects, Erykah.
I loved the part when she said that as a Doula her contract is with the baby. I really felt that! Her recognising that the unborn child is not simply a reflection or extension of his/her parents but a divine spiritual being in its right was so amazing to me. 💖💞✨
I love that she said that it’s the kindest thing
Totally agree❤
I love Erykah. This felt like a therapy session and cathartic. I love how open she was and how authentic and organic this interview was. 🌳
The fool is a witch you idiots are probably going to hell idolizing the lame female

When you become spiritually free, free of trauma and religious programming you can become just like her.
She definitely needs to partner with Calm. Maybe some affirmation for Birth/Death transitions or just her speaking
Erykah Badu did podcast show episode of The Message on Apple Music. It’s pretty much that but better.
I'm here getting major ASMR from her voice too!! Feeling so relaxed
She actually did some focus music with her ex partner in 2021 for Headspace. JaRon I think it was.

Mind you, a few weeks before he reached out, his energy was heavy on me for no reason. So that was weird and yet, made sense to me at the same time. But yeah, Erykah oozes enlightenment. Even if she tried to hide it, it would come through
I will say this as well, Badu is educating and captivating. She is guiding them to calm and understanding places they usually don't have on this show. She's an elder to more ppl now than a contemporary. Dopeness
You are now watching black excellence at its finest. This woman is a queen and an inspiration to a whole generation. I will always love her as an artist and a creative soul. ❤
Coming across black excellence, in any arena, is the most beautiful thing! She definitely is black excellence!
She's more like black mystic.
More of a empress if you will but I get what u saying
Erykah is the paradigm of the human experience... always freely learning, growing, and sharing her spiritual gifts with others 💚
I just love how calm everybody is during this interview. She is so relaxing to hear. But God willing. If I’m blessed with another baby I would LOVE to have Erykah as my doula.
I dont ever get tired of listening to this WISE georgeous woman… such an honor for her to share with us her learnings!!
Badu is exactly who I imagine her to be in my mind. One of calmest, kindest and humblest souls we have in the industry.
I had the pleasure of seeing her in concert and I was so impressed by her grace and energy on stage I’ve been a fan 31 years and my 8 year old sings her songs with me now. She is magical ❤
I’m going to see her in July I CANT WAIT TO BE AROUND HER ENERGY 💫💫
I saw her also during the cover girl tours years ago... YAAAAAASSSSSS BABY!!! Give me more.
Erykah..( in my youth) taught me to command your atmosphere and not be subject to it! She helped raise me in a way!
I love this. I need to carry this message to constantly remind myself.
Yessss❤
❤
This woman has been one of my top ideal women. She has always been authentically herself. I’ve heard I give ppl her vibes… grateful she’s spreading wisdom and knowledge to us all.
Absolutely J'adore the sense of peace and calmness that surrounds her, and how her energy commands others to get into the same energy. Great interview....I'm sitting here just wanting more!
Y’all see the vibe she automatically set in a room? She really sets the tone in whatever she does. I can feel that ish through UA-cam. 1 of 1, Erykah Badu 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🔥🔥
Pisces ♓
😊pp😊p😊😊😊😊p😊
I'm a 32 year old African-American Male. And my mother would bump Erykah, Prince, 112, Brian McKnight, etc. I grew up on ALL the Erykah Badu hits. I remember her musical performance on All That...w/ the incense. And as I got older I could appreciate the Window Seat videos of the world lol
Same here brother power to our mothers
I had this experience too
Yo father like Her music 🎶 too?
90'S BABY STAND UPPPPP!!!! SAME
Pplpp
I absolutely adore this interview. She could have talked another 3 hours and I would have been invested. Hopefully, she returns soon.
"We thank you for the people we compare ourselves to" I just love how she showed gratitude even for what we consider wrong or painful just as well as the good. Appreciate the duality of life. Down to the people we argue with. So powerful
This was the most grounding, beautiful, uplifting interview I’ve ever watched. I feel refreshed. I hope to see her soon in concert.
They call her a witch but she’s just unique, woke , intune and SPIRITUAL 🔮
That’s a witch ❤
@@ErinThePsychicWitch exactly. Not all ‘witches’ are ‘bad.’
@@neish9520 I agree . But a lot of people are still uneducated about this topic .
@@neish9520 Leviticus 19:31
31 “ ‘Do not turn to mediums or seek out spiritists, for you will be defiled by them. I am the LORD your God. Be careful but I know you may not follow the Bible but in case you do 😬
@@KinuGoddess777 With all due respect our Ancestors weren't Christians. They had their own Spiritual belief system. It wasn't evil but the pale faces had to beat fear and religion into them. I respect what the Church did during the Civil Rights movement but we're slowly going back to the ways of the Ancestors. If you want to keep practicing Christianity that's fine but don't preach to us when it's not helping us change our condition ✌️
The interviews are always so much better when envy is actually interested in the guest, he and Charla was amazing!
32:54
If Charla didn’t always jump down Envy’s throat every time he try’s to chime in, Envy may have misre to contribute.
Pisces season is phenomenal just as all seasons I love her eternally and she has the most powerful and gracious spirits of our generation period... baduizum hands down one of my favorite albums of all time
I loveee HER!! Her energy is everything. I've always loved her music thanks to my mom 😍
Erykah Badu is one of my go to when I need music for healing or to get me in a better mindset. feel good and inspiring, who has heard green eyes or out my mind just in time?
Yes Green eyes💚!!
Out My Mind
Those songs move me so deeply but she has so many the literal sound track to my life!!
I know what you mean, she gives you that feeling, another great 1 is orange moon.
Meeee too!
I feel in love with this woman when I was 8 years old In a hotel room in San Diego on vacation with my grandma, hearing her for the first time on a cassette player. Had next lifetime on repeat.
this comment 🥰
Your Granma is cool
I was 17 when Baduizm dropped and I rocked that tape until it popped 😂 I was living behind the times bc that was '97 and I should have moved on to CDS by then 😂. She has been my fave artist since she came out. No one else compares to her. She has everything!
Notice how calm everyone is and the engery is 🌎. Love her to life ❤
I am 41 and lately I have become more spiritual can't explain why. I appreciate Badu's music more now than when I watched her on BET back in the day I get it.
Erykah Badu and Jennifer Lewis are two women that I enjoy listening to so much. I always take something with me every single time. Great interview, incredible energy as always.
Yessss! Erykah is my forever fave and Jenifer Lewis is always real, honest, and raw. If you haven't read her book, The Mother of Black Hollywood make sure you do!!
This was my favorite interview of the breakfast club! I would love to meet her one day because her InnerG is everything. I was feeling down but her spirit helped to uplift mine. Thank you 🙏🏾.
Can I just say how much I appreciate this woman's energy
Me too
Erykah Badu is so real and down to earth. I respect the fact that she speaks her mind and that she does not let anybody try to categorize her.
This whole interview had me in tears … loved it so much … it was healing and therapeutic
Why were u crying…
I’m so glad to read this comment. I too cried, particularly when she spoke about being a Death Doula. She’s more than a presence, she’s an experience.
Thank you so much for this interview. It gave me the insight into myself that I had no words to. Erykah’s clear vision has shown me that it’s ok to seek yourself out in quiet times and that there are so many more levels to this experience.
Erykah instantly Relaxed me in this interview 🫠 She made me think of a person that was once in my life. How I miss him dearly. A one-of-a-kind person just like her. A ♓️ just like her. He had a healing spirit & healing hands just like Erykah as well. And funny we both had off-beat sense of humors too. Good memories. Made me 😃& 😆. Time to play some Erykah music now that she’s putting herself out there again
I love Mama Badu!!! Her energy is everything. Going threw the years listening to her music and to see her journey … nothing but LOVE & RESPECT!
I never leave a comment, but I had to for this. I resonated so much with this entire interview. She’s turning 52, I’m turning 25. Both Pisces and I just truly feel so similar and understood.
I love her interviews, they are so enlightening. 💫She got a lot of spiritual energy you can feel it through the screen.
Cha n Envy were like puppies waiting for approval....Erika is the epitome of presence beyond our realm. In years gone by she would have been burned at the stake before being too intune with herself and her surroundings....love her ❤️🔥👊🏾
Goddess Erykah never disappoints!
Though a lot of her words and music goes over the head of a lot of folks …. Her wisdom is something worth comprehending Ann’s something for young women (and men) to aspire to!
Blessing to you Ms. Badu
❤️🙏🏽
I loved her music when she first came out. It was refreshing. I'm happy I haven't heard any of her music after her first album. I'm excited to rediscover her and her music. She is definitely one of the most interesting people to me.
Met her in Dallas years ago and I promise her energy was exactly like it was in this interview. She's one of the most humble kindest people I've met. She TALKED to me like a normal human not like a star talking to a average man.
Thank you for writing the sound check of my life. Your words made me feel understood and your sound called me to take a journey into my own soul. I appreciate every part of you sis. I'm 40, you raised me too.
I can sit here and listen to her all day and soak up her wisdom, depth, and energy. ❤️❤️
Wow. This is one of the most powerful interviews The Breakfast Club have ever done. Erykah is amazing ❤️❤️❤️❤️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️
i appreciate this interview and her being candid, shes the type of celebrity Id love to actually meet in person, her spirit
This was absolutely Amazing, I'm happy to See, Listen and Absorb this conversation. I will def be watched it again and again. Erykah always has the GEMS! 🙌
I love her honesty and she's a whole vibe.
Y'all thank you , been awhile since someone finally asked the questions Ms Badu deserves. She is a Pisces like myself, I feel her from my zodiac and back. Her wisdom and music is something I am thankful for
The amount of peace and love this interview holds, is a whole vibe ✨️ Happy early born day Ms. Badu 👑
Best Interview I’ve seen in a long time! It’s the mistakes becoming our greatest lessons in her prayer! The wisdom instilled in this woman 🙌🏾
Erykah simply has clarity, enlightenment. Something I strive to achieve one day.
Me living in Dallas,Texas now I pray I can see her and just have a 5 minute conversation with her. She’s full of so much knowledge and so inspiring
I've found Erykah Badu to be the most beautiful woman inside and out for almost 30 years now. Every time I see or hear her speak or sing I fall more in love with her whole being.
She’s powerful because she is so comfortable in her skin and who she is. And learned how to protect her energy EARLY in life!!!!!!! We are learning it now later in adult hood
I feel her energy and I am not even in that room with them. She is one of my favorite people in the world, simply because she is her, She is a true spirit, always of service. Channeling her energy. That is super Dope. Odes to the Queen!!
🥰 this interview was so refreshing you can feel her positive energy thru the screen
You don't know how much this interview means to me. South Texas Rocks! Been following all of you for years. Following Badu since college. I'm her same age from Texas. Beautiful wisdom and truth for our continuing journeys. Awesome😀🥰
This interview is addicting. This is why everyone loves and can’t get enough of Pisces energy. So glad the universe is catching up to who we’ve always been ..tapped in, alert, sensual and smart 🙃♓️
I see why all her children’s fathers will LITERALLY KILL SOMEONE about her. She literally is the first woman I ever heard TRULY EXPLAIN WHAT A MAN GOES THROUGH. She different FOR REAL🔥
That & plus she got that thang thang lol that Power U that’ll make niggas crazy & wild out over her lmao straight up snapppppper lol 😂
Looks are nice and all, but people often underestimate the way a woman makes a man FEEL. I'm not talking about sex either.
How many kids she got?
@@RosteeveBellier 3. Seven, Puma, & Mars.💯
Why I don't understand why go hard for a hoe?? She's just like anybody else.
Her energy radiates pure positivity, peace , calm strength, and growth. I think we all sort of want to find a few of those things and just be of service to others. Thank you for this amazing interview. may your higher power enlighten you all and keep you all blessed and highly favored ✨️ 🙏 🙌
Great interview with Erykah Badu !! I am a Dallas native and I enjoy seeing her realness and how TBC guys are really focused on her "light" and beauty!! Blessings to Badu
I love her realizam about life...her grandma story that you don't have to stay in that spot... You can move away.
Her calmness and her self-control vibe.
You rock girl..
With all the love I have for her it’s so easy to keep falling more and more in love every time she shares herself with the world. ✨💕
She slowed that whole rapid fire thing down! She set the tone. I love it.
She dropped Baduizm in my birth year in 97’ and I remember my dad playin it throughout the house . Every year for my birthday I call up the black owned radio station and I request On & On because we are the same age. Welcome to the Breakfast Club Ms Badu !!
March 1st Pisces, black and queer, and I have loved Erykah since I was in the 4th grade. As a singer I remember singing her songs to my friends because I listened to both sides of baduizm on cassette. Certainly still hits me in a way that I can’t explain. Also thank you for that prayer Badu! So insightful, humble and real! ✨🙏🏾
Happy Solar return enjoy your moments 🎂🎂
I love how comfortable in her skin she is….she is GOALS for being vulnerable and still powerful. Envy’s question/comment about the pandemic was completely off and I’m glad she didn’t walk into it.
Her energy is always unmatched and illuminating ✊🏾
I LOVE THE RESPECT SHE DEMANDS WITHOUT SAYING IT AND SHE'S SO SMOOTH AND SOOTHING WITH HER VOICE AND WORDS SHE SPEAK. I LOVE THIS LADY !
