I'm only in competition with my last level. It don't have nothing to do with music or anything. And the last level is hard competition, the last place you were.
Erykah BaduI knew it would happen. I knew I'd be No. 1. I'm a new artist; I don't know the rules. Nobody told me it wouldn't happen
Erykah BaduI don't feel like I need to preach to the world or nothing like that. I just feel like I share what I say, and if listeners get it, they get it. And I never underestimate the audience's ability to feel me.
Erykah BaduI'm learning from them! Everyone says that, but it's true. You learn more about yourself from them than from any other lesson.
Erykah BaduI remember when I signed with Kedar Entertainment through Universal Records. It was my first record deal and it's the one I still have now. At that time, there had been a couple of opportunities I was almost given, but at the last minute the giver came back and told me it couldn't happen.
