We're going to start with the weakest link for sure. Universally panned with 7 perfect rankings!

Issa bop. Didn't this go Top 10 on UAC too? I doubt that her next proper single would achive that.

I wouldn't say this is of bad quality, but with how many songs she's made that are *really* good, this didn't quite compare

I love Phone Down. It’s not nearly a classic in her catalog but it is a bop nonetheless.

Yeah, I couldn't really use Phone Down which is unfortunate because that is such a rare and odd thing to say about Ms. Badu. I think that it was a cool concept that got held back from being fully fleshed out due to 'only' being a mixtape joint. Had it been intended for a proper album she probably would have brought it up to its full potential.

We have a tie at #18. Both songs come from the latter part of Erykah's discography

Even if it's at the bottom for me but I still like this song. I just prefer Eve and Alicia's version.

...Well now I'm relieved I didn't decide to put "Soldier" #1 like I was considering at some point. But still, wtf is this doing so low?

Last reveal for the day: breaks the 100 points threshold, no perfect rankings and only two top 10 losses.
Btw, I'm loving the participation. Keep it going! ![:d](http://images.proboards.com/cheesy.gif)

"Cleva" is a classic.
"Soldier" and "Get MuNNY" are both solid but they're not among my favs from their parent albums.

Erykah has such an ear for groovy instrumentals, and Cleva definitely helps illustrate that quite a bit 👌

Only one perfect rank so far, but four of my bottom five is gone (and the other song was my #15) so overall I'm doing really well so far. Not sure how that will hold up from here on out, though.

This is probably the first rankdown where I love every damn song so my ranks are inconsequential. Her discography is impeccable.

I fell in love with Ms. Badu when the "Love of my Life" video was in heavy rotation. Then waited OVER A YEAR for Worldwide Underground, which did not disappoint.

I was doing so well! But yeah, Badu is Queen. Speaking of, kinda surprised the Janelle song is still in it.

That's because "Q.U.E.E.N." is her best collab ![:smokingdiva:](http://i.imgur.com/t6wcd.jpg) I cannot tell you how much I screamed when that song was announced and it did not disappoint!
