The Ten Best Albums of 2008
Here are the albums we were bumping all this year, and probably next year too
Erykah Badu
Government Name: Erica Abi Wright
Hometown: South Dallas, TX
Fun Fact: In her early youth, she decided to change the spelling of her name from Erica to Erykah, as she firmly believed her original name to be her 'slave' name. The term 'kah' signifies the inner self, which, when translated from Arabic, means 'can do no wrong'. [2] Badu is also an African name for the 10th born child used for the Ashanti people in Ghana
Claim to Fame: Baduizm, Badu's highly acclaimed debut album, was released in early 1997 and debuted at #2 on the Billboard charts. Lead single "On & On" reached #12 on the singles charts in both the U.S. and UK. Badu received notice for her introspective lyrics and jazzy, bass-heavy sound, and was hailed as one of the leading lights of the burgeoning neo soul genre. Her sophisticated style of singing drew many comparisons to Billie Holiday.Baduizm eventually went triple platinum and, along with "On & On," won Grammy Awards at the 1998 ceremonies.
