Badu DJed the event, playing a lot of neo-soul such as the Fugees, and excitedly made reference to her "Baby Daddy" (André 3000) as she spun some Outkast. The Foundation Room, the venue's VIP room, held an invitation-only party on Monday night, thrown by Central Track. He'd also made a Badu-endorsed remix of her hit "On and On." She quickly accepted his offer.īadu started the week hosting a party for comedian Dave Chapelle, whom she called her best friend, as he was in town for his two dates at the House of Blues. Sober had worked with her in the past, mostly DJing her own private parties. After all, despite her superstardom, Badu is quintessentially Dallas. So when trying to come up with a special, pre-Christmas guest DJ for his Big Bang party, DJ Sober was reluctant to book an expectedly big, out-of-towner and went domestic. Badu, after all, has an otherworldly quality about her. The insanely talented and wonderfully eccentric Queen of Neo-Soul's reign seems to extend beyond international fame and feels more like that of a cosmic appeal. There's Jessica Simpson, too, but Lord let us forget her singing (and acting) career.
Vincent and Sarah Jaffe's recent rapid stardom, Badu is still the biggest and most original female voice to emerge locally. But this week she's treated us to two special DJ appearances, one of which happened last night in the intimate confines of Beauty Bar for DJ Sober's Big Bang dance night.Įrykah Badu Earns Less Than $4 Busking in New York City The Best Dallas Concerts of 2014
Despite these alleged connections, actual Badu sightings are rare for most Dallasites, and she's become kind of a mythical figure in her own hometown. It's more like two degrees, since it appears everybody has a friend's cousin who grew up with little Erica Wright. Sometimes it seems as if everyone in Dallas is playing an endless game of "Six degrees of separation" from Erykah Badu.
