Space Cadet
Posted by Bossip Staff
Although we appreciate those who think outside of the box, Ms. Badu insists on taking it that extra step. Erykah casted her spell of Baduizms at the Martin Luther King Jr Concert Series in NYC last night.

Hello…did you sign?
This concert last night was AMAZING!!! Even if you have never purchased an album of hers, you could’ve still enjoyed it. Her lyrics are so poetic and truthful that whether you can sing along or not, you can’t help but to dig what she’s saying. Erykah has always been a “space cadet” since “On and On.” lol, I don’t work for Erykah, but you had to have been there to understand the Dopeness that went on at Wingate last night. Period. Case closed.
I’m just sayin…
It’s fo MLK…. MLK…. Come on now…
Repeat after me Ms. Badu, “Press and Curl…”
“Press and Curl…”
She has all da time in da world for her escaped slave makin it to freedom look.
See.. back in da day you could look like a monkey on crack six days a week, but when Sunday came… You better act like you know. Get in dare and brush yo teef, wash yo a$$ and dat hair betta be combed!
She looks hot and in need of a bath…..

@Just Sayin
Lol, are you approximately betweenst the ages of 40-55?
…(I do agree, though).
nah nah, f all the haters! Erykah could get it anytime.. even after being all sweaty and smelly after a 2 hour show!
MORNING BOSSIP FOLK!!!
I love Erykah and that she doesn’t conform to what society says is normal. I can definitely relate to a lot of her songs and what she has been through. Espeically on the first album! Still a big fan of hers!
Erykah is one of the most underated!! Vocally, song writing.. shes underated. I need for Erykah, Jill(Scott), and india irie to come out with a super group type CD. Women need that! If those ladies get that together woooooow!!! Better than Pharrell, Kanye, and Lupe!

It’s something that happened in which I can’t disguise…
I needed somebody to take me away…
From feelings of doubt which in my mind delay…
But you’ve always been the one for me baby…
And there are days when I know I should have told you…
So please don’t you cry…
Cos I’m gonna try…
To make you believe in me…

I have tried, Lawd Knows I have but there is just no excuse for these eccentric heifers to be looking so crazy! A list of the future Cat ladies for your review and co-signature:
Erykah Badu
Macy Gray
Kelis
Solange (trying so hard to different and still looking like a mall chick)
Lauren Hill
The problem i have with this is the fact that people always have something to say. She is a positive artist who doesnt get in any type of trouble, but she doesnt live her life the same as some of us would like her to which is her choice. Isnt that an extension of what MLK was speaking about which is freedom of choice? It was a concert for MLK, ok. She came & performed. I guarantee there were artists that werent there who shouldve been there but she showed up when others who are praised didnt bother to attend. This young lady means no harm to anyone. I find it hilarious that people want to perm their hair but laugh at her for being natural.

reunited and it feels so gooooood!!! lol
she is so irrelevant right now…
Underneath all that weirdness, she is GORGEOUS!
“Although we appreciate those who think outside of the box…”
Bossip: This is not true. Not true at all. Y’all funny.
LOL
I love you ERYKAH!!! Your the realest chick in the game!!! I love your music, you are the shit my sista!!! When is NEW AMERYKAH PT. II coming out. Anyone know?
She probably got some twilight zone type ussy.
Fuck all you haters! I would rather watch Badu perform in a potato sack than Beyonce with a million costume changes!
TRUE TALENT doesn’t need to prove shit!
IT WASN”T A CONCERT FOR MLK FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!!!!!! that’s just the name of the concert series that’s been goin on for about 20+ years. jesus.
Tyrone needs to buy her a Lady-Bic to hit those underarms a little closer. Stubble is not your friend.
BADU IS AMAZIN I WANNA BE HER NEXT BABY DADDY

ALWAYS IN GRIND MODE
Hot comb?? WTF? Just Saying you musta been jokin….
Anyway, this is my GURRRLLLL with her crazy a$$! Yeah yeah I know some of you want her to wear a lace front fake a$$ wanna be white girl weave and tone down the ‘eccentric’ fashion for House of Disaster fashion wear but no matter how much you talk she still doing her. It is different it is more afrocentric and I love it!
Yall and your fake hair, skin bleaches, and plastic surgery can kiss my grits! Nothing beats a Black woman who can stay away from the euro ‘norm’ and still wow an audience!
I actually love the outfit.
She’s a free spirit. There needs to be more females like her in the industry.
“Casted her spell…” I appreciate Bossip. But, are you guys Americans? Are you familiar with American Eglish? Who the hell says “casted”?
@ Where dey do dat at?
SHUT UP! lol
well when is the mothership coming erykah, I’m sayin..u got ya ear to the sky seeking the vibe…lol
At Baby Please…I need your help regarding your gravatar!
What is this about? I need clarification, should I address you as “Sir, Maam, Shim, Simaam”. This is effecting my etiquette skills deeply…
Her vocal range is sick and I love her music, but I swear she was smokin’ some good stuff last night…unless she’s her own supply. Great concert, though.
I thought she was pregnant? Her hair, wig, weave is a nappy mess. She looks just as insane as Lauryn Hill.
LAUREN HILL and ERYKAH BADU, who’s worse.
Let your hair fly free, mama Badu! Let the haters stay trapped in mediocrity “and blond beauty ideals” forever. You are a Black goddess who needs no validation from the chemical relaxin’, lookin’ like Mike Jaxin crowd.
NO!
MS. Badu was fly as hell last nite…she is the baddest bitch and was absolutely stunning…The crowd was mad dead though and Badu had to get on them about it and even threatened to walk out cuz folks in brooklyn were acting like it was the Lauryn Hill concert of 07. Sittin there mad silent. ANyway…she was singing “love of my life and was rappin through Common’s part and ended the verse with,”Bitches can get” over come her mental issues and come out with a new cd
i agree with Princess Apki…no matter wat i do my gravatar doesn’t show…what should i do?
@ just saying…please do me a favor and kindly shut the F*ck up…Badu looks beautiful with her natural wig and natural hair is beautiful… you have some issues…i’m so sick of ignorant ass fools getting on beautiful black women for proudly wearing their hair the way god intended…screw ya’ll and ya’ll straight hair is better mentality…i have nappy natural hair and am proud of if it…get some help please.
self hating ass
NO!

Sittin there mad silent. ANyway…she was singing “love of my life and was rappin through Common’s part and ended the verse with,”Bitches can get it” I was like “Oh damn! thats my girl”…and to “JUST SAYING …Lauryn has a sexiest body with her “lil titties” and all… Now I wish Lauryn Hill would get over her mental issues and come out with a new cd…
sorry my typin is eff’ed up today …but i was heated at “just saying” i meant to say…
“erykah has a sexy body…with her “little titties and all”
I was at this concert last nite and it was effing amazing. She put on a damn good show for it to have been free. She even went in the crowd and started jamming w/ people. It was great! BADU FOREVER
For all u NYC heads Jill Scott will be performing at the same park (wingate park, Bk, NY) next Monday. The show is also free and starts at 8 but I seriously suggest u get there early. You can even bring your own food and chair.
@ Afrodite
I agree w/ u when u said the crowd was some what dead. I fortunately was in a section w/ real badu heads so we kept it real but I notice the energy level. She still did her thing. I cracked up too when she said “bitches can get it too”.. that was too damn dope.
BOSSIP appreciates people who think outside the box???
since when?
Folks,
F*%# what you heard! Erykah is exceptionally talented. I was at the show last night and all y’all who said she was amazing are absolutely right. She speaks truth… You folks who are spending words and energy to comment on how you don’t like the way she looks are SHALLOW and need to dig a little deeper. Ironic: You call her spaced out when she’s more conscious of the world around us than most of you. Wake up people!
@ Just Sayin….
I LOOOVE that Vanessa Williams joint! “Still In Love…” Didn’t think too many other ppl were bangin that song but me;)
Ummm, I hope you guys realize that Ms. Badu wears a wig…
love her, she’s the only one who can wear a sweat suit halter top and still be a queen!
It is said that genius, and insanity, are kissing cousins. I was never truly convinced of this theory. Until I saw these pictures. ARTOFWAR.
Wait. What’s wrong with chunky flip-flops?
Niggaz got real self hatred issues goin oh here.
pro-black Erykah> european beyonce
eryka and lauren…..WHERE THE HELL ARE YALL AT?
Never been a fan of Badu. Paul Mooney cracked me up when he was talking about OJ Simpson’s knife and gloves were hidden in that headdress she used to wear. Then he went on to say that he could never understand what she was saying when she’s singing. PAUL MOONEY 4 PRESIDENT!!!
Umm….
How about ya’ll figure out that she is an ENTERTAINER…she doesn’t have to fit a form that you all accept…if you don’t like her…so what….
She is a singer dammit!! What ya”ll need to see her in a church hat giving an Obama speech????
Ya’ll prolly love Khia ( my neck my back) though hunh???
Got sit down somewhere and read a dayum book
And yes that means YOU….
” I’m just saying”
YOU I’M JUST SAYING!!!!
yall can say what you want about a persons individual style but Ms. Badu brings it on stage.
why would an artist conform?
and
why should she conform?
I went to the concert in brooklyn.WHY?WHY?WHY?All she had to do was sing the songs that made you rich.Everyone would have had the time of their lives.But no,she song her fast songs slow and her slow songs fast!!WTF??I am and will always be an Erica Badu fan.But she left us hanging.It was alot of unimpressive improv!!We love you Erica but you turned a free concert into a gospel concert.All I could think of is that song…”NEVER SHOULD HAVE HAVE MADE IT”.Then she kept pausing saying wait every five minutes in the middle of the songs you love.I came to the concert a “NO LIMIT BADU SOLDIER”.I left a Huge Jill Scott fan,she will be here next week.Erica is fine and so talented but the way she PERFORMED she thinks everything she does is art.I wouldn’t be surprised if she took a dump and sent it to the MUSEUM of MODERN ART!!BABY PLEASE DON”T EVER,EVER,EVER FILL YOUR CALIFORNIA PERSCRIPTION FOR GLACOMA BEFORE A SHOW AGAIN!!!BABY WHY???
@ GEEFUNK227
I didn’t go to the concert on Monday. I have seen her quite a few times though.
You made me laugh with this —–
“she thinks everything she does is art.I wouldn’t be surprised if she took a dump and sent it to the MUSEUM of MODERN ART!!BABY PLEASE DON”T EVER,EVER,EVER FILL YOUR CALIFORNIA PERSCRIPTION FOR GLACOMA BEFORE A SHOW AGAIN!!!BABY WHY???”
Some of ya’ll are crazy. She killed it at that performance. As a singer, I was so in awe with her. Her vocals were tight. She looked beautiful, crazy afro wig and all. They post the craziest looking pictures and then ask people to comment. To quote Rayjoyj1 “you had to have been there to understand the Dopeness that went on at Wingate last night. Period. Case closed.”
