In other words, Badu doesn't play by anyone's rules but her own.
For instance, her most recent release, the 2015 mixtape But You Cain't Use My Phone, Badu dubbed the style "Trap & B," a unification of hip-hop, R&B, experimental rock and jazz. But throughout the years her musical output has ventured well outside one specific genre. Her early success would make her forever associated with the Neo-Soul genre popular in the 1990s, alongside D'Angelo, Lauryn Hill and others. But you'd fail to acknowledge her many other talents, from her work as an actress ( Cider House Rules and the upcoming What Men Want), to her otherworldly grasp of social media, to her work helping babies into the world as a certified doula.īorn Erica Wright in Dallas in 1971, Badu first came into the public consciousness with her 1997 Grammy Award-wining debut album Baduizm.
