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. 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 ! badujunkie said: 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. | |

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? | |

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... Every minute of last night is on my face today.... | |
