happy birthday to Erykah Badu, who turns 55 today 🎂🔮🕯️ a true icon whose influence on neo-soul, r&b, and hip hop culture runs deep. 🎶 “didn’t cha know,” the second single from ‘mama’s gun,’ samples tarika blue’s 1977 track “dreamflower.” the sample was originally unauthorized, later leading to an out-of-court settlement. the song reached no. 28 on billboard’s hot R&B/hip-hop songs chart and was nominated for best R&B song at the 2001 grammy awards. what’s your favorite badu track? 👇 | Geniu
