Erykah Badu Goes To A High School And None Of The Kids Like Her Music

[deleteuser101]

Man "On & On" came out in 96...I WAS about 4 when that shyt dropped so I know DAMN WELL these kids don't know bout that..The Band teacher and principle did that for they own personal pleasure

I disagree. Most of the older generation of adults today appreciated, revered & grew up listening to all types of R&B/Hip Hop/Soul/Disco/Pop music from an earlier period partly because we were exposed to it unlike kids/young adults now who have no real history of good/great singers & groups from the past .

Also we wouldn't have outright blatantly disrespected a famous, well known singer that came to our school to perform for us even if we didn't like their music or them personally as an entertainer.

Right!
I was knowledgeable about all types of music from different genres and eras growing up because of my parents and other family members. It's frustrating now because this generation. I don't think that they "want" to know anything other that what they already do. My 16 yo cousins can't even name a Whitney Houston song.
Someone earlier said something about this is the equivalent of Chaka Khan coming to there school and singing or something like that
If Chaka Khan would have come to my school we would have shut up and listened to her sing and sang along. That's the difference

I would have at least tried to get a good look from the back. That ass transcends generation

 

[blackslash]

To be fair back when I was in high school no one rlly cared bout badu like that either tbh

 

[Zero]

But why would they expect kids that age to like her music?

Her music is targeted at adults

This.

 

[JetFueledThoughts]

We really expect high school kids to appreciate Erykah Badu?

Big girl @ 4:05 giving her that "get yo azz down from that table" look



That disconnect, tho

I don't know why this is so funny to me. No one getting hype off of Jessica Simpson in 2016

Dude in here are really out of touch

 

[Pinyapplesuckas]

she woulda got it hype if it was parent/teacher night

 

[Prince.Skeletor]

If they did that to Lauren hill I'd fly up there and beat them!

Eh....I dunno how old you are but honestly we would have. I went to school with knuckleheads. Food fights would put people in the hospital.

So I can't be too mad at kids being dumb....or at the very least, indifferent.

High school, Chuck E. Cheese.....same thing. I wouldnt go to either place unless my own kids needed me there. After seeing all the disrespect for years I knew once I got out I would never come back for no career day, giving a speech to young nikkas, a sub...no way

 

[MarloStanTrill]

Most these younger kids/adults today are simple & really only like garbage music anyway so I'm not surprised by the responses in the video.

you are right- but erykah badu is not making good music
