I love Erykah Badu. I remember the first time I saw the video for On&On and it made me so happy to witness a female vocalist who had something meaningful to say in her music. I also loved Erykah's unique and bohemian meets rocker/alien look. Her hair, her swagger, that girl is BADD! She defies the standard of beauty set by female artist who rather wear revealing clothes and a bevy of lacefronts. Not Erykah, she wears her natural hair like the Proud Black Female that she is supposed too. Every video, every performance, you see the evolution of Erykah's music and personal style. Her latest album, the New Amerykah is a posed with political ruminations, personal storytelling, and an in-depth look at the impact of drugs, violence and hopelessness prevalent in the black community. Erykah, keep being you because you add so much depth to Amerykah!
