While most rappers ask you their name, E. Badu goes through her litany of incarnations, ending with a name-as-other-worldly-sound that’s even cooler than Prince’s symbol-thing.

“As Erykah Badu, it has nothing to do with me, the way I look, my hair wrap,my style, it’s about you and what you feel for my music. If I can make you feel like the way that people who influenced me made me feel, that’s completion.”

You can catch her live webcast from her homestate of Texas today at 5PM ET / 2PM Pacific
