In September, Badu walked the red carpet at the annual Met Gala in New York and modeled at Rihanna’s Savage X Fenty fashion show - at Rihanna’s request. 2: Return of the Ankh,” and several decades since she, Maxwell and D’Angelo ignited the neo-soul movement of the mid 1990s.

This album is over four years old, but I still whip this masterpiece out quite often, mainly because the performance on this disc has yet to be matched.Never mind that it’s been 11 years since the release of her most recent full studio album, “New Amerykah, Pt. With that said, I conclude that is album is Badu's best work to date and it is a must have for those that enjoy live performances. This album proves that Erykah Badu is more than just a singer, she is an artist and a great live performer. That is how hospitable and personal this album is. Even with the disc in your stereo, Badu makes you feel as if you are there in the audience. On this album, the band is on point and Badu's cover of Chaka Khan's "Stay" is amazing. This is the best live R&B album that I own, with Maxwell's MTV Unplugged EP ranking at a close second. First of all, the live album is much better than Baduizm. But, when I bought the live album a couple of months later, it blew me away. I was sure that it would be a while before anything topped it.
I purchased Baudizm back in February of 97' and I thought it was an instant classic.
"Tyrone" is the ultimate kiss-off song, and her unique and spiritual vocal phrasings and lyrics permeate this great cd. "Ye Yo", "Searching", "Boogie Nights/All Night", "Stay", and both versions of "Tyrone" (one is Live and one is studio) are not found on any of Erykah's other cd's. I read a couple of the previous reviews that basically made it sound like this cd has no new material. While others are yet again singing of wanting to get someone into bed, Erykah unleashes an emotional blessing for her unborn (at the time this was recorded) child. Again, this song sets Erykah far above the great majority of the R&B world. "Ye Yo" is a song that says all the words that every child deserves to hear coming from their mothers lips, and it says them without being sappy and stupid. These two songs alone would make this cd worth purchasing. "Other Side Of The Game" and Chaka Khan's "Stay" both get incredible, all-out, going-for-it vocal fluorishes.
The liner-notes should have acknowledged the Miles tune, if for no other reason than to allow someone with no jazz knowledge to seek out the original Miles album if they are so inclined. The first minute or so of "Rimshot" is actually the Miles Davis masterpiece "So What" (originally appearing on the album, "Kind Of Blue"), with Erykah's backing vocalists chanting Badu over it. This cd starts with something that I imagine many of Erykah's fans may not pick up on. I wouldn't exchange one for the other though, both have their strengths and show a side of Erykah that the other does not. This cd is a wonderful companion piece (with great new stuff as well) to the Baduizm studio cd.
