Erykah badu tyrone live soul train6/13/2023 I had to listen to all of those albums, a few of them I’d never heard before. It took a while because you know how Fela’s music is, you’d know each song is about 20 – 30 minutes of trance music. It was difficult choosing seven albums out of those 20 because none of them had ever gone to wax. What were some songs you fell in love with while doing that? You had the chance to curate the upcoming Fela Kuti collection. I mean, 90% of my audience was born in the ’90s. I feel like my mothers and my grandmothers who listen to Nat King Cole, and my mother who was a 70’s and 80’s advocate. I have daughters who are listening to pop. I’ve always had my pulse on the times. I have a 19-year-old son who makes sure that he’s very active in my music. Not just for the youth, it’s also happening for me. Whatever is happening is what is happening for all of us. There is always a group of people who can relate to it.īut, for me, as an artist, I just evolve with the time. I mean, it’s our politics and our therapy. Music is not a stand-alone thing, it just requires us. How the people evolve, determines how the music evolves. So, you have to be really natural and honest, you know. It’s a little different from standing in front of an audience singing. But, it’s a lot of work to be on stage here and be a comedian. I would think I have pretty good comedic timing and all those kind of things. If it’s not that kind of funny, it ain’t funny to me. Everything funny has to be measured by Pryor. I started out in comedy with a gig as Steve Harvey’s personal assistant because I gravitated towards comedy. I wouldn’t look at myself as a comedienne, because comedians take that title really serious. Do you look at yourself as a comedienne sometimes? I saw you perform at Soulquarius earlier this year and it was so funny to hear the jokes in between songs. I mean, I have become the Queen of ‘CUT!’ You know what, there’s a lot I’m not able to do. Were there some that you weren’t able to do that you can share? A post shared by The Latifah on at 11:14pm PST
