ERYKAH BADU - TEACHINGS ON CREATIVE PRACTICE

Spending the time with these interviews has been an absolute pleasure and privilege. ERYKAH BADU IS A GREAT ARTIST. After bringing the edit together, I’m left thinking just how considerate she is with her words, and the straight truth she drops from sentence to sentence. Peace to you, and let me know if anything she says connects with you or your practice specifically.
Love to everyone for supporting this channel so far. If you’re digging the videos, consider sharing them with a friend this week. And most importantly, KEEP MAKING YOUR ART.

Hey. Quick note I wanted to drop about the channel. In the future I want to make this a more collaborative space, where I can gather music/art from the community, turn the stage around, and highlight some of the artists out there in the audience. To flesh out my plans for this a little, instead of a video next week (week of Sunday 30th October) I'll be dropping the first issue of The Creative Minds Newsletter (free - no payment required or expected), discussing my above ideas for community involvement, and the importance of valuing creatives in general. If you want to receive it, just follow the link below and drop your email to receive next weeks edition. Peace people much love - insidecreativeminds.substack.com

[@belovedoraclespeaks]

Nice!

[@BiG__Disgruntled]

I'm a fiction writer. I've always said there's no such thing as writer's block, I just haven't had the life experiences necessary to write that part of my book.

[@nicolem8122]

That was beautifully stated. Turly a writer.

[@alayawilliams6988]

Oh that’s good!!!

[@creativemindsyoutube]

Really happy to hear we have writers and all kinds of artists in here. Thanks for dropping the insight Stephen.

[@ulx868]

true true. bc when i went through a very weird, but enlightening relationship i was able to flesh out an entire story based around that experience. ofc not to the very detail, but with enough imagination/reality to whip up something amazing

[@sophnzisa]

This could be what I usually go through

[@lunavieira3616]

Anytime I see Erykah- I stop and listen, watch and learn. This woman is only 10 years older than me but has the wisdom of a 1000 lifetimes or more. I love learning from her- ever since she began shining her light on my life with her album Baduizm. “My soul flies free like a willow tree… doowee doowee dooweeeeeeeeeeee”

[@only1adrienne]

Listen! We the same age and I distinctly remember singing Baduizm whole album in school. I felt like this woman knows something I need to know. I told my parent she was our Billy Holiday.

[@jewelofaries]

Erykah, Sade, Maxwell, George Howard, Najee, Luther Vandross and Anita Baker are artists whose cd's I would buy after hearing one song because they always put out superb music. Whereas with other artist's, I would have to hear 3 songs before I would buy the cd. Erykah is just a pure spiritual need in the world of music and the world in general. So anointed. ❤her !!

[@thomasmasingi3852]

Erykah and Sade for me.

[@neish9520]

[@draextra]

Erykah Badu is a living legend i love her music. 💯🗣

[@queenm7042]

REAL TALK ❤❤

[@kellystorm1549]

When she said “the music comes first I can’t write to just any type of music I have to feel it” I felt that! This is me as an artist I look for the music to speak to me than we communicate with each other.❤music is me and I am music.

[@aeonflex4261]

“Bag Lady” is a whole therapeutic vibe 💕

[@Wooddweller]

You just don’t know how many nights you sang my Momma to sleep when she was super down and depressed from being a Black Woman dealing with single motherhood and in love with a resisting Black Man.

[@harriettholmes539]

😃 She was going to town with that gum.... tearing the heck on the gum.

[@deellaboe437]

Her first album/CD changed my life. Introduced us to what a woman looks and sounds like. Her Tiny Desk concert was the best I've seen. TY Ms. Badu for sharing your superpower of music and voice.

[@borne1]

As a playwright this was a blessing, just to hear another creative mind speaking.

[@creativemindsyoutube]

Great to hear there are other creative disciplines represented in here. Glad the video spoke to you.

[@loganjeffery7776]

These videos are really truly inspiring makes me believe I could really make it being an artist as long as I stay persistent

[@ancestralabundance]

Please keep creating.

[@talori5417]

Thank you for sharing this. I’m opening up more to my creative side and my femininity. I now embrace what others label as dyslexia. It’s such a beautiful gift! She is so honest with herself and is growing brighter. She is someone I look up to.

[@Carcye]

About dyslexia, Björk described it in a very awesome way in one of her songs: "Dyslexia, the ultimate free form. She invents words and adds syllables. Hand-writing, language all her own." I thought I'd share in case you'd like it haha

[@sevman7]

"the man of superior virtue is not conscious of his/her virtue. and in this way he/she really possesses virtue. the man of inferior virtue never loses sight of his/her virtue, and in this way, he/she loses the virtue" -lao tzu

[@mckinley312]

The first time that I knew that I felt what Badu felt was when listening to Green Eyes!

[@Blaqbudafly]

The last clip where she has the tuning for attached to her nose ❤️ May all the words she speak continue to be of high vibrations 🙌🏾✨✨✨

[@serenabrownfield9648]

She's very intelligent and poised. ♥️

[@nicolem8122]

Ms. Badu is a living Goddess.

[@FaithFashionFinances]

I love that she is authentically herself. Great video

[@creativemindsyoutube]

Thanks for the support Meghan, and for taking the time to drop the comment. Glad the video connected for you.

[@ShopTrulyEssential]

Had a dream with her 🙂, she is an amazing soul & a great artist . May her teachings continue to bless the children .

[@TheDiaryoftheBoy]

My aunt had the opportunity to meet her as a journalist. As authentic as you see her in her interviews.

[@renderuntocaesarwhatiscaes2300]

Apple Tree , Slipped me a Mickey these are 2 songs that herd at maybe 13 14 years old by Ms Badu my uncle was a big influence on my musical taste he had her cd. And from there and even before I knew this lady was a legend

[@corigrant6804]

Don't need a long mile for the story I love Erykah Badu her souls connects with me

[@yolondaowens4156]

She's Such A Star.. Genuinely HerSelf

[@EmpressCreopatraOmega]

She was a gift to the 90s💯🎉🎈🎧❤️

[@Sequr2289]

Yes 😂 a gift from the wicked one, spreading his wings and laughing at those who support her. 😂Lol

[@EmpressCreopatraOmega]

@@Sequr2289 jokes on that judge who still cares bout my my business...💋🙄

[@Sequr2289]

@@EmpressCreopatraOmega YES, indeed. What does it mean for you. The One infallible Judge wants you to worship Him (not entertainers and witchcraft) for his glorification and who created you through your mother's womb. He's watching showing grace and mercy until the death angel arrives to take away your last breath. We either for Him or not. Good luck. 😂Lol

Very enlightening!

[@graycat7704]

Funny enough I feel like I’ve been looking for this sound for years. Fell into the rabbit hole through Tyler, went through a trip with j dilla and nujabes. Now I’m here with Miss babu not only inspiring me with her music but her wisdom as well. Truly a time for me to heal.

[@graycat7704]

Sade also has peak my interest. It’s like I’m revisiting childhood memories.

[@Sequr2289]

😂Yeah, and Lord Jesus is not the author of confusion. Like a serpent 🐍 this woman draws in her followers in with a seducing unclean spirit Oh yeah it's real and it resides in her. 😂😂😂Lol
