We're done for today, this is your top 3:
On & On Tyrone Bag LadyI'll also leave you with two songs I like a lot because I think they represents the eclecticism of Erykah and in particular of the Mama's Gun album really well: - this one reminds me of the Stevie Wonder and Bobby Womack records from the 1970s - this one I love because of how sparse it is. It's a step even further from "Otherside of the Game"

Although the last 2 were my lowest ranks remaining, I’m still happy with them making top five! This list was quite difficult to rank as everything here was very solid 👌
1 4 14, happy with any winner though!

I got 3,4 & 11. I wouldn't be surprised if my 11 won as it seems to be well-loved.

Now, every time I ask you for a little cash You say no but turn right around And ask me for some assMiss Badu premiered the iconic "Tyrone" at her live concert in support of the Baduizm album that was recorded professionally and released in late 1997. The song was brand new and the live version was so popular at radio that it reached #1 on the R&B Airplay chart, though it wasn't allowed to chart on the Hot 100 or on the main R&B chart under Billboard's rules at the time. It's easily in the top 3 most popular Erykah Badu songs and it has become a popculture phenomenon within itself. 3.

One day he gonna say you crowdin' my space"Bag Lady" was the first single released form Erykah's second album, Mama's Gun. In its original form, it's a mellow soul ballad about a girl entering a new relationship with so much emotional baggage that she risks ruining it all. The single version is the Cheeba Sac remix, which contains a sample of Dr. Dre's "Xxplosive" making it a lot more catchy and appealing. The colorful music video was shot on Mini DV digital video, which made it look amateurish, but on purpose. The song reached #1 on the R&B chart and earned her 2 Grammy nominations for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance and Best R&B Song. 2.

Although D'Angelo and Maxwell had already broken through with their neo-soul sounds, it was time for a female artist to put her stamp on it. Erykah Badu did it in such a way that she quickly became a household name. Baduizm was successful with critics and the public alike and it became a staple in 1997. "On & On" spent two weeks at #1 on the R&B chart and reached #12 on the Hot 100 and it also won Miss Badu the Grammy for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance a year later. 1.

Tyrone is a novelty song in disguise. Next Lifetime is one of the best R&B songs ever created. Thanks #LisaRinna! Bye.
