I mean, really. That may be the only album i've ever bought without liking a single track, and i DO include "Discipline". But that's just my opinion, bringing da heat.

Well tell us how you really feel!

you don't even like "the healer" ?

what's wrong with u?

j/k if you don't like it, you just don't like it. fair enough.

thanks for understanding! i just had to let that shit out or a couple afros were going up in flames

I must admit,
I too, dont see what the big deal is...
a lot of Hype... &
Not much substance if you ask me...
but, hey, thats just my opinion..
I feel the same way about the new Gnarls Barkley as well...

Sorry you're not having fun at the party...

"that hump" is the jam

I agree. I played that album & I literally didn't change my facial expression the whole album....seriously .It was that bad.

Bishop31 said:

I'm not loving either of them myself. Thought I would, but Erykah's is just a little too self-consciously weird and Gnarls is not weird enough or something.

I do like Honey, though

I really dig Telephone but aside from that, I'm not really feeling anything else. Ain't gonna stop me from going to the concert though!!!

Well, at least this guy is taking all my heat.

Bishop31 said:

OTOH, I think they're both excellent.

I didn't even get the album, but I did get tickets to the show. She's a good live act and her bands are usually tight. So, it's just a party. She has enough music that I dig to enjoy the experience. Although, I was less than impressed by her previous album. I really liked the first two studio albums though.

Not unlike Tori...

Every ensuing Badu record is more direclty just for the hardcore FANS and less directed at pleasing the pop charts

Baduizm...Mama's Gun...WWU...NA

It's just fact.

i like some of the tracks. not feeling this too much like the others. i want to go to her concert in may though

different strokes.

Dont listen to it anymore. Erase it from your mind and let the rest of us enjoy

I'm really sorry to read these comments. Badu's new one kicked my ass and then some! Best album of the year so far and I'm still loving it! The Healer? Soldier? Master Teacher? Solid album all the way through and I can't wait for the next couple of parts...

...and I stay woke.

MAN when she breaks in2 that slow part:



I know some people that do it
Day n night n nite n day
Night and day and night and day


man she is talkin about stressin out so bad that some people gotta smoke weed to try to lose their problems and they trying to stop but can't.

That song is the realness.

paisleypark4 said:

my favorite part too. the song reminds me of my cousin . that hump, master teacher and the whole thing really .

2Jay said:

I've been saying that about this new Cd from day 1. Boo-dee.....comes 2 mind.

badujunkie said:

It should be.....it's using a P-Funk bassline.

paisleypark4 said:

I aint never done dope to cope
just somked a joint or two
betwixt me and you

Why did you ever think she didn't suck?

the neosoul packaging?

Dance said:

No, no. Mama's Gun is one of the best albums of the decade.

i find her voice annoying

i never saw her appeal at all

Hmmm...I sense a lot of hate in this post...but I don't care:

Mama's Gun > New Amerykah > WU > Baduizm

Musically, this album is killin' the game. Not that it's ahead of it's time or anything but Erykah threw a curve ball with this album that's definitely throwing people off.

Sorry to those who can't get on the train.

And for the "NA" lovers: Isn't the 2nd half of "Master Teacher" AMAZING. The first time I heard it, I thought I was going to freakin' die ----> ----> That keyboard line is heavenly and listening to it puts me in a zone every time. IMO, that section is the best thing about the album.
