For those of you that don't have or are dissing the Live album...you don't know what you're missing. Get it JUST to hear her do Chaka Khan's "Stay" and THEN to here her backup singer N'Dambi BLOW THE FUCKIN' LIGHTS OUT ON "NEXT LIFETIME/YOU DON'T HAVE TO CRY"!!!!!

She tore that shit up.

I can see how Mama's Gun may not be someone's personal favorite, but to say it is her worst work is just inaccurate!

right on. i have a feeling people who say that have never listened to the record all the way through and gotten to "in love with you" or "green eyes."

those are great songs but aren't the only ones that qualify Mama's Gun as essential listening. i think that album's early sequence shows mad quality.

CinisterCee	Has everyone heard the title track from Johnny Hammond's 1974 album Gambler's Life? Erykah interpolated this on "Booty" (2000).

thank god the two biggest Badu fans on here are in agreement that Mama's Gun is her masterpiece...

Well, not claiming to be the biggest fan, but I guess we're all in agreement on Gun.

Rhondab	2freaky4church1 said: The live album is her best, Mama's Gun is her worst. See You Next Lifetime is her best song. What do I need to do to get Freaky banned? Mama's Gun is classic.....its a cd you can put on at anytime....and just vibe with all the emotion...love, hate, confusion, protest, encouragement....etc...

Mama's Gun has to be no. 1, 2th would be Baduizm and 3th the live album. But I still have to buy Worldwide Underground.

back in the day when things were cool
we used to meet up with these dudes
then we'd roll out on hopes and truths
and would ride around the park till its after dark
pumpin the trunk with the windows rolled up, puff
well well well music

Every time I hear the intro and bass for this song I can't help myself. Plus it's a really great song for her to do in concert.
