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

Her music is targeted at adults

we were young teens blowing big, listening to Erykah building on 360... fukk you talmbout?


:what:



You can't buy taste or an appreciation of knowledge. :smh:

This seems to be the first generation where they don't care to know about anything before them. Did their family not listen to any music around then while they were growing up?

Gotta blame the parents. My people put me on to the greats. Shyt ain't the same no mo... :snoop: and the old heads are to blame. :ufdup:

Kids will ALWAYS defy their parents with their art.

In fact, if they thought their parents were feeling their steelo they would automatically go another direction until they found a lane that made their parents go "what is this crap?"

Such is life. Nowadays I marvel at the fact that Run DMC, NWA, PE, and all the cutting edge shyt from when I was a youngin is now passe to young people. I never thought my Wu Tang would be someone else's Kenny G.

Nah man... if your parents put you on to real shyt ... that rebel shyt ... and broke it down to you, the music speaks, and you'd fukk with it. these kids just lost man. it's a few that still recognize, hence the Youtube comments "i'm 16 and this is better than anything on the radio" shyt...

She has one great album that people cherish another average-above average album that people are really indifferent about.

Other than that she dropped 2 albums that not a single person gave a fukk about. She got ass naked to sell a single on them:jbhmm:


She is overrated in the sense that people are in here acting young folk are disrespecting music cause they dont give a fukk about her. Why does anyone need to know Baduh's music?

Y'all sit here and straight up overrated every artist of your youth.
You working overtime to knock her. She had one album I didn't like. Everything else has been fire to me.

Oh, they played me the classics. I distinctly recall not caring. I was in love with the music they said was crap. Rap is crap.

Mark my words: the babies being born now are gonna be clean cut carrying briefcases an shyt. It's the only way to disturb their tatted up pierced up turnt up parents.

TATTED MOM: What's up with the three piece suit? You're 8.

2010s BABY: Mother Dear you don't comprehend our generation. *sips Capri Sun with pinky out*

Lmao at her trying to walk around with a mic with a cord trying not to get that bytch tangled. Don't nobody in HS know who she is unless they some woke hipster that did their research or they got an older sister or brother.

I woulda been more excited about that ass, forget the performance. :shaq:

you can try to hide in sweatpants but we all know the deal

This shyt kinda makes sense. All i can picture is

*child walks in from school*

*sees mom still rocking tattooed and employed t-shirt*

*realizes mom is a looser and decides to do better in life*

Felt bad for Badu, jumpin on tables playing herself for the sake of these bumpkins. I mean, is this what it looks like when the checks stop comin in?
Those are high schoolers, so they are 2000 babies. No reason to trip if they don't know your shyt, they weren't even born when she was poppin. Although a few of them gave me the impression they were just hatin for the sake of being bytches...:patrice:

I don't know. Strange video

Their parents were the ones that raised their kids like pets in the DMX era.
