There are very few women in our lifetime that have carried a comparable impact on lifestyle, music, and fashion more than Erykah Badu.  In fact, there are very few women who have been able to truly hold their own within a world of masculine raps without losing the very essence of why they became invested in their art.

Always changing but never disappointing, Erykah Badu has remained the strong voice of an entire generation of music aficionados.  Her fourth studio album, New Amerykah Part Two (Return of the Ankh), dropped today and earlier she released her video for the first non-Internet released single, Window Seat, which is by far one of the most creative and innovative music videos I’ve seen in the past few years.  Shot in one take, Miss Badu shows us what she’s really got.  Along with this video (featured first below), I have compiled some of MY most favorite Badu works in celebration of her new album, her fight against groupthink, and everything that makes her absolutely amazing (and a sweet female artists video which features one of my favorite Erykah tracks, Cleva).
