Lauren
D'Angelo
Mos Def/Yasiin
and to an extent, Erykah

they all seem to have a kindred vibe. Maybe it's being uncomfortable with being blessed with that much brilliance and finding it difficult to be seen/vulnerable at a that level. But, they all seem to also be the folks who reject playing the game. These are also the "artists" - i mean, sure, all musicians are artists, but I would put these folks in a different bucket. Integrity is higher than all other accolades.

Erykah is different in that shes managed to balance out things. She plays the game but still manages to stay true to her vision.

I'll have to think about it a bit.
