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 ----> angel ----> cloud9 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.


i fucking live for that breakdown. "1-2-1-2-3-4"
IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL. I GET CHILLS JUST THINKING ABOUT IT. I SO HOPE THAT SONG MAKES IT ON THE NEXT SETLIST OF THE NEXT SHOW I SEE!!!!! It's the absolute highlight of the album. I wish she would do an entire album of down tempo, keyboard-heavy, jazzy tracks, even more mellow than Baduizm.

i stay woke
I'll leave it alone babe...just be me

I wasn't sure about it at first. To me, there are too many song ideas cut and pasted together with people talking over them, instead of actual full-fledged songs, for me to like it.

But I kept returning to it. And I think I'm actually kind of blown away by it now. It's a complete and utter mess, and that's what's so fantastic about it, because it still holds your attention and tries to tell you something through all the clutter.

I cant speak for anyone else on this thread..But, I can tell you...
If you were to pick up a handful of albums you would see where her whole vibe comes from..and If you are anything like me..You would Rock those before hers !

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 think that was maybe true for a while. But with Scarlet's Walk and especially American Doll Posse, there's a lot for the casual fans to sink their teeth into. They're immediate records too - a lot to appreciate up front.

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.

That may be the only album i've ever bought without liking a single track, and i DO include "Discipline".


I disagree. to me it could have needed some editing or dropping a track here and there, but overall I enjoy most parts of it very much.

hey, to each his own
Has anyone tried unplugging the United States and plugging it back in?

How the hell you CAN'T love the Erykah album is beyond me. I mean, i guess you either get good music or you don't.

Thanks for having the cojones to be HONEST about her!! I held on the Erykah train for along time and finally fell off with this record..did not do a thing for me.

Just me...
