First #1 loss coming up! I'm glad this song made it this far, though it could've gone a couple steps further imo.

I just need a chance to fly A chance to cry And a long Bye bye"Window Seat" was the lead single off Erykah's last proper studio album (thus far), New Amerykah Part Two. A catchy jazzy downtempo that captures the essential Badu sound, but also made the rounds for its controversial music video. In it, Miss Badu is seen going around the streets of Dallas, stripping down and finally getting assassinated. The nudity caused controversy with the city officials of Dallas and allusions to JFK's murder were met with skepticism by the public. The song reached #16 on the R&B chart. 8.

"Window Seat" was the first Badu song I ever heard (2010 was my biggest year in terms of discovering artists). Despite one song slightly surpassing in my ranking here, I've probably played this one the most.

Summer came around and the flowers bloomed He became the sun I became the moon Precious gifts that we both received Or could this be make believeGorgeous. Almost 7 minutes of neo-soul bliss. "Otherside of the Game" is so mellow and understated, but so rich in lyrical content that it's truly a gem on Baduizm and Erykah's entire catalog. The struggle of this relationship and the indecisiveness of it all are so well narrated. The song was an airplay-only single and reached #14 on the R&B airplay chart when it was released in 1997. 7.

Last reveal for today. I kinda think this will cause a minor upset, just because of how popular it's always been.

Whenever I got lonely Or needed some advice He gave me his shoulder His words were very nice"Love of My Life" was the first song whcih anticipated Erykah's 3rd album Worldwide Underground. It bears the subtitle "An ode to Hip-Hop" as it personifies Hip-Hop as a man. The song was a big hit, peaking at #1 on the R&B chart and #9 on the Hot 100. It was featured on the soundtrack to the 2002 film Brown Sugar and won Erykah the Grammy and Soul Train Award for Best R&B Song. 6. Love of My Life (An Ode to Hip-Hop) feat.

If you don't worry 'bout where I been or who I saw or What club I went to with my homies Baby don't worry you know that you got me"You Got Me" was the first single released from The Roots' Things Fall Apart album. The song was co-written by Jill Scott and she initially sang the hook, but the label chose Erykha because they felt Jill wasn't as established or mainstream for radio appeal. It reached #39 on the Hot 100 and it's still one of the smoothest Rap songs from the 90s. Drake interpolated the hook on his song "6 Man." 10. You Got Me (The Roots feat. Erykah Badu) Points: 167 Average: 9,867 Standard deviation: 6,046wrip : 2 newpower : 3 Soulsista : 4 God : 5 .indulgecountry : 5 Active Aggressive : 5 aerodynamite : 6 #LisaRinna : 10Ty : 11 Private Dancer : 13 @antigonerising : 13 singingrulebritannia : 15 bat1990 : 18 Exclusive : 18 SHOOTER : 20 One of the best songs Erykah was attached to, collab or not.

So my 19 and Soulsista's 20 were not the same after all. (Tanking Window Seat? Really?!)
I have no idea what I have left...I think my lowest remaining rank is #11 though so overall no complaints. This is a flawless top 5.

WOW

The only dragging I deserve and expect for my ranks is for "Otherside of the Game." The rest of you all need to spend more time with Ms. Badu's discography.

First time that I saw you boy It was a warm and sunny day All I know is I wanted you I really hoped you'd looked my wayWith its mellow soulful vibe "Next Lifetime" consolidated what "On & On" had started. The song was chosen as the second single from Baduizm and was very successful, reaching #3 on the R&B chart (#1 on airplay) and becoming one of her most enduring hits. Unfortunately, I couldn't find a decent upload of the music video featuring Pete Rock, Method Man and Andre 3000. 4.
