Hailed the queen of neo-soul on her arrival in 1997, with the multiplatinum Baduizm, she shrugged off the apparent demise of the genre, instead of going deeper and weirder with the incredible New Amerykah Part I album in 2007, for which she enlisted such Academy stalwarts as Madlib, Sa-Ra and 9th Wonder.

In this lecture at the 2011 Red Bull Music Academy, she muses on success, art, motherhood, and control – and does some pretty good impressions of “kindred spirits” Madlib and Dilla.
