One of the things that I loved was that she was whimsical — that she had this sense of humor — and that she loved The Color Purple. That was one of my favorite movies as well.

Massenburg: The first time you met Erykah Badu was in the video for the remix of D’Angelo’s “Lady”— AZ, Faith Evans, Joy and Erykah.Poyser: We’re messing around, and she starts soloing over the 12-bar blues — she calls them 12 ba-blues, as a joke. I think I was playing chords underneath with two hands, like “Heart and Soul” style. Then she grabbed the mic, started singing and that was it. Really, we were just playing around. She might have been talking about Questlove — she definitely wasn’t talking about me.
