I gotta let this out: Erykah Badu's new album sucks, and by virtue of all her albums I am beginning to think she does.

what you like about that song is the fact that its DIRECTLY lifted from the song "American Promise" by a group called RAMP...
Including the vocals...Basically she took the whole song and talked over it..and sang along..and added the voice that you call the "Bob George" voice...If you want to hear ONLY the parts of that song that you dig..go find the BRILLIANT RAMP album ! wink

I finally listened today... I'm cool w/ all of it EXCEPT the song w/ just her voice & the trumpet, I wanted to smash in my entire dashboard when that shit lasted for more than 15 seconds whofarted

There's another one where the skit is just way too long, I think it's the opener. I like the music on that though, & the background singers. But I get tired of the Bob George voice...

The Healer ain't all that to me (too calm, like I need to be in the tub when it's on), but I really think I like all the rest. This was just the first listen, I'll keep spinning it & get a clearer picture. Don't know why so many people hate it, it seems almost on par w/ Worldwide Underground (inferior, but of a similar mindset if that makes any sense)... She may never do another Mama's Gun (her BEST), but I'm hopeful. I'll be buying part 2, no question...

RipHer2Shreds	It's a good album. A bit too self-indulgent at times, but it's a keeper for me. Strong stuff.
