"Evolving involves elimination." Erykah Badu

“Change the something happened to me… to something happened FOR ME.” ~Erykah Badu ✨✨✨

I love the way this was filmed.

Women must learn to love themselves first before anyone else and boundaries are a MUST in all relationships.

Its refreshing to see two black women talk about love.Seems like love doesn't exist in our culture anymore these days.Salute

Erykah Badu wiping Rhapsody’s tears was such a priceless moment, I felt that sweet bond of sisterhood… Powerful 🙌🏾✊🏿

Growing hurts so much

Erykah's question "What makes you happy?" was intentional. Alchemizing and focusing on the good.

"I didn't know Love until being a mother" - Erykah Badu

Seeing artists talk to each other is important. The well is empty but the water is unlimited.

“Evolution involves elimination” 🔥 those necessary endings are critical to our spiritual, emotional, personal, and financial development!

Badu should have a podcast like this.. w both male n female artist n non artist it's so needed.. Doula

Erykah was able to express ALL those things I feel and felt but couldn’t put into words….especially the being a mom part. 💜

When Erykah brought up the invisible umbilical cord. Wow. Powerful. Always connected. Rap sharing she had a chance to be a mother & decided not to. What a vulnerable moment. ❤🥺

I could listen to these two artists talk about life for hours ngl

You know what I love? I love how visibly human Erykah is and so honest about it.

This video was literally God sent to me. I had to pause it and cry because I heard exactly the words, I needed to text my 20 year old son.. "I love you unconditionally" Thank you for this video

The, "I would" and "why wouldn't they" was so POWERFUL bc truly, why wouldn't someone suck up all the happiness and love you're giving espically when theyve never experienced love like that before?! Or just when it's a "good thing," why wouldn't they absorb allllllll of it for as long as they could

The real women have entered the chat.

I don’t know love without motherhood. I felt that in my soul. Motherhood healed me and every day I am so thankful to be her mom ❤.

I'm almost 50 years old and I was like the young lady in this video. Always giving and being nice and would get tooken advantage of. I never knew that people treated Kindness like sex. I didn't know that people had to "earn" it. But looking back, when I gave it freely most people didn't respect it.

Elimination was never a negative thing

"Really be dedicated to getting Your lessons as opposed to feeling like a victims; Changing the 'Something happened TO me' to 'Something happened FOR me.'" May all who come across this vid and message be well and remember it's all on Divine purpose, Asé. Sending You all LOVE 🌿

14:19 “your were like my second adolescence”. As a man my mom used to play her music consistently when I was younger boy. I always thought her music was good but I was not old enough to understand but as I get older, I play her music again and realize she reach a spiritual peak in her music most won’t understand. I also realize my mother was playing her music because the pain she was going through something in her life I couldn’t understand . Erykah badu, the Mother Nature of music ignited me to chase my zenith in music, thank you Gawd❤.

As a long time fan of Rapsody im happy to see this side of her. Loving these conversations.

This was simply a real authentic woman to woman, heart-to-heart life conversation. And I 100% related to it! ❤️

This was a beautiful conversation that was very fruitful and spoke to my soul. The way that you both listened and not listened to only respond was everything. Rapsody, your vulnerability and honesty is beautiful. Erykah, the space you hold for those who want to learn and the way you take them by the hand to guide them on their journey is what we need from our elders. Thank you both for sharing this convo. It was needed on a soul level💛✨🤍

I’m finna go DJ, you wanna come? Hell yeah! 🔥

This video made me so emotional. Our culture is starved of conversations like this and it feels like a relief to hear this 🤍

Badu gave me a green heart. Rapsody gave me poetic justice.

I love pure, open and vulnerable conversations. This was beautiful!!!

This broke me down yall. I’m grateful to be allowed in this experience. As someone who is learning the big lessons of letting go and mastering how to be the beat of my own life… this sounds like wisdom for me to keep growing even if the unknown is scary yet to see and hear Badu remind us the fullness of infinite possibilities. This feels like the sisterhood I needed and a mothering ear. Thank you Yah and everyone involved to get me to break down like this lol soul freedom for real!

15 seconds in and I’m balling because I just realized I don’t have unconditional love for myself 😢

I love the intimacy of the older & younger intertwined of love. Our colors of growth 💜

If someone keeps giving you don’t have to take. Love is seeing that the person isn’t aware that they could be taken advantage of through continually giving and then helping them see that they can have boundaries with you and others. Protect them and show them that they can treat themselves well and with respect until they can do it on their own. Then you love the person they become if it’s healthy for you.

Ms badu is such a sage 🩷

Real tears…just a beautiful conversation. This literally fell in my lap at the right time. Thank you queens!

This collaboration was beautiful, the way they flow and the vulnerability & gentleness between the 2 is true love.

Greatful For the Lessons That I've learned. From The People that I've Loved And Have Loved Me.

This is a very loving and endearing conversation! When I speak to younger people they always thank me for not judging them. When you are older than someone that does not mean you get to talk at them. We all can learn from one another. When you speak through love a natural healing process happens. This is a beautiful exchange of respect and love.

This interview was so beautiful. I’ve been on a Rapsody era and she’s now my favorite rapper. I feel so connected to this album. It makes me want to put more care into life & all the small things. Can’t wait until you come to the chi. ❤️

Stellar. My neighbor just pulled up playing Mama's Gun. Peace to Sankofa.

Two of my favorite artists. Better than majority of these artists out today. Especially the little so and so's, and such such's.

two beautiful & gentle souls

the calming energy they both radiate is so refreshing and inspiring

Feels like a historic personal conversation like if Nelson Mandela would have sat down with Martin Luther King Jr. Very deep🤗💪🏿🤗

My heart is so full after watching this! I want all my conversations with Black women to sound and feel like this. ❤ Thank you for sharing your space and time with Badu with us. Thank you for the music !

2 of my favorite artist having a honest raw conversation Is perfect for tonight’s sesh. I relate to rapsodys tendency to give , hoping that it would get me someone’s love. But nothing leaves you empty like pouring into empty cups.

Vulnerability! Rap looking so good! Cant wait for the album!

I enjoyed this conversation. Yall are both such beautiful human beings!!

I'm South African and in my home language, sisXhosa, we have a word for the invisible umbilical cord. It's called "inimba". 🥰

This is everything. I feel like these conversations are primary and the music compliments the conversation. Beautiful

Badula ! How can you NOT love her. One of the most non judgmental spirit of our time! Peace Queen

Yo Rapsody! I love your work! When I seen you perform at this Grammy party LIVE, I was locked in. You’re the greatest female MC idc 🙏🙏🙏🙏
