YMMV / Erykah Badu

• First Installment Wins: Baduizm is highly seen as Badu's crowning achievement (if not one of them), not just because of its individual quality but its importance in being one of the big Genre Popularizers for Neo Soul.
• Overshadowed by Controversy: She's probably best known for her highly controversial music video "Window Seat", which has her strip naked in public and get shot at Dealey Plaza, which in real-life is where former president John F. Kennedy was assassinated. However, this is bit of a zigzagged trope, since the controversy surrounding the video is how she received so much attention in the first place.
• Refrain from Assuming: Her "Hotline Bling" cover is often referred to with the original song title, but it's actually called "Cel U Lar Device".
