A Quote by Ravyn Lenae

I was exposed to a lot of OutKast, Timbaland, Eminem, and my mom introduced me to India.Arie and Erykah Badu, so I guess I'm a mash-up of those styles.

Basically, coming up, listening to Cash Money and Master P, and my mother would listen to Sade and Erykah Badu, things like that. I didn't like that music back then, but now, I guess, to look for soothing music or tones, you know, I would look to that, and I would love to do something with Sade or Erykah Badu.

Valee

I used to be offended when people would compare me to Erykah Badu. Because I'm black, thick, and have large lips? There's nothing similar about us whatsoever, and I felt very disrespected by the fact that people needed to pigeonhole me. I wasn't even raised on Erykah Badu!

SZA

I really think only Erykah Badu can be Erykah Badu.

Ari Lennox

Erykah Badu - she's timeless, that's my second mom.

Trippie Redd

Erykah Badu projects don't even sound like Erykah Badu projects. I don't even have one album that sounds like another one of my albums.

Erykah Badu

I'm a huge Lauryn Hill and Erykah Badu fan, so working with those two in any capacity would be a dream.

Andra Day

Erykah Badu sang with me at a sold out show in San Francisco which was great.

Bonobo

I have mentors like Erykah Badu. She's been like a big sister to me.

Janelle Monae

My idols are singers like Billie Holiday and Erykah Badu because there's no gloss on what they do.

Andra Day

I heard Smokey Robinson was singing one of my songs on the radio the other day. Being in the presence of Mavis Staples, Erykah Badu, Jill Scott - Stevie Wonder joined me on stage recently. That blows me away.

Gregory Porter

The people we grew up watching and listening to - Outkast, Gucci Mane, Hot Boys, Lil Wayne, Master P - all that type of stuff, we took those styles and made it our own.

Quavo

As Erykah Badu, it has nothing to do with me, the way I look, my hair wrap, my style, it's about you and what you feel for my music. If I can make you feel like the way that people who influenced me made me feel, that's completion.

Erykah Badu

I don't have much of a wish list, but I'm dying to work with Erykah Badu. That's pretty much my dream collaboration.

Kaytranada

One thing that is constantly on my iPod is India Arie - I like her a lot; I listen to her a lot. I think she is just a spectacular artist.

Audra McDonald

Timbaland uses a lot of Indian music and that has certainly familiarised me about the music of India.

Chamillionaire

I love the music of Lauryn Hill and Erykah Badu and more recently the music of Laura Marling. All these women share a strength and a wisdom in their voices and music that really makes me want to make music and sing.
