As the coronavirus pandemic continues its destructive path, Instagram Live is breathing life into Hip Hop fans across the globe. The battle format has become an exciting presence as people are forced to stay home.
Shortly after the Teddy Riley versus Babyface rematch, fans started toying with the idea of an Erykah Badu versus Lauryn Hill battle, but Ms. Badu doesn’t seem too into the possibility — and she’s already predicted the outcome.
On Thursday (April 23), the neo-soul goddess responded to a meme suggesting the battle and replied, “I’ll be pulverized.”
But Badu’s fans weren’t buying it. Her impressive catalog spans over two decades and includes five studio albums as well as the 2015 mixtape But You Cain’t Use My Phone. The multiplatinum-selling artist has also won four Grammy awards and numerous accolades throughout her career.
Teddy Riley & Babyface Make Instagram History With Epic Rematch
That doesn’t mean Ms. Hill wouldn’t make for some stiff competition. As a member of Fugees, she dropped one of the most revered Hip Hop albums of all time, The Score, in 1996. Following the trio’s breakup, she returned with her untouchable solo album, 1998’s The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, which included the singles “Doo Wop (That Thing)” and “Everything Is Everything.”
The album won five gilded trophies at the 41st Annual Grammy Awards for categories such as Best New Artist of the Year and Album of the Year.
Who you got?
Come on queen badu, you only had one hit record, lets be real…many great great songs, but one hit record…queen hill is a hit factory
But Lauren Hill won’t show up or would quit mid performance like usual lol
? put some cut on that raw ?
Put some cut I whatever you’re snorting.
“you only had one hit record”…and Lauryn only had one hit solo album. Erykah wins (bigger catalogue).
Love Erykah, but L Boogie da GOAT
NewArk New Jerusalem we hold the best female artist the queens of light not darkness. Badu has a dark side I spoke to her personally I will pray for her that she will leave the demonic energy alone. She dips into the dark side and the light side but love and balance is all we need to stick together
Nah, The miseducation was classic. But it cost her 5 million and honestly her legacy reflects how important New Ark was to that sound and record..we got literally NOTHING afterwords… I think the woman is beyond talented but lets be honest, she doesn’t perform AND never made another album at all…so fuck old hit records and shout out to Erykah for always showing up.
NewArk QV66 ??♥️? 4life United We Dance #Uggie
No because she is racist
Easy win, Lauryn wouldn’t turn up.
Humbly speaking, it’s true. But that’s not to say we don’t need both of their musical prowess.
Nobody wants to watch these 2 weirdos battle. Keep em depressed living in shadows as shells of their former selves. It’s for the best.
Erykah always had better production backing her than Lauryn did…Erykah has an entire solo catalogue, Lauryn has ONE solo studio album…last but not least, Erykah will actually show up to the battle, can’t say the same for Lauryn lol.
The production was the shit wasn’t it? That dark under the street lights, on a corner somewhere sounding jazzy stuff.
BOTH DEM BIRDZ IZ WEIRDOZ MAYNE
I think both are too great to battle each other. But it wud b an epic fkg battle. Will never happen unless Sony force Lauryn to do it. Iono if they wud/will or not.
Truthfully Lauryn shud battle a man so shud erykah. They only similar for both being female rlly.
does anyone else think erykah is the damn devil? the demonic images, the messages she hides in her lyrics, the great emcees she’s tried to ruin lol
The Devil?!? Lol , guess you didn’t do you math. LMAO couldn’t help myself ?. I think there was serious thought & consideration put into the selections of her baby daddies and I anticipate being witness to Puma’s,7’s, and/or Mars talents and gifts
There’s a lot of demonic energy in the music industry this is why Prince wrote slave on his face.
Why does have to be like that….. You are both the best…. No need… unnecessariness!!!!
Well, DUH. Can that weird ass Erykah Badu RAP and spit like L Boogie? NOPE. Lauryn got more talent in one finger than that ol’ kooky broad. This wouldn’t be a battle, this would be a domination!
Badu can actually rap.. she just doesn’t do it often
Ms.Hill is more talented, but I prefer Badu’s albums over her one and only release. Wouldn’t mind seeing how this would play out though.
Some of ya’ll tripping for free….no coupon…no bogo…..nothing. Anywho, I would like to see them battle just for kicks!
I couldn’t think of two more disgusting “people”
Your Mama and Trump perhaps
Nice.
Why do you live with such anguish? Is it because you are an angry black female?
I pay homage to both Queens and I despise the thought of conflict between them. <3
In the words of Jill Scott ! Queens don’t need to Swing if you know what I mean !! And if you don’t …Shut up and Dribble…Lol
She absolutely does not think that lol. She definitely just said that to be diplomatic. Lauren couldn’t even show up to an instagram battle and the woman hasn’t written a new song since the 10 she had 20 years ago.
You do t know that as facts!!
Actually Lauryn Hill would most likely no-show and Erika Badu would win by default.
Let’s be real, Lauryn Hill wouldn’t even show up for it.
?
LBoogie is the most overrated artist ever. Badu got 20 joints to mess with here.
New Ark we love Ms Hill for life. In the industry lies a lot of demonic activity. Lauren is a goddess and she does not do darkness. L Boogie Queen of Love
United We Uggie Dance
Everybody take a break from playing with yourself and go listen to “Miseducation Of Lauryn Hill.
