Sorry. Have not liked anything she has put out since Momma's Gun and before that Baduism. To me, and this is JUST me, everything that she has not been the greatest.


Damn...

Not even Worldwide Underground? confused eek


There's a moment of dead silence on this album that drives me nuts. Even after I rented from the library to give it a second listen, I still couldn't get into it. Definitely my least favorite from her. My favorites:

1)Erykah Badu "Live"
2)Mama's Gun
3)Baduizm
4)New Amerykah part 1
5)Worldwide Underground -- Only album I don't own and refuse to buy it

well she has been pregnant for awhile and just recently given birth, so give her a few ticks for her stitches to heal and to pump some reserved breast milk.


lol She named the little girl Mars...well, at least when she yells 'Mars' in the store, she knows that her kid will be the only one to turn around. nod

Instead of getting progressively better with each effort, she is getting worse with each effort. Seems her goals have more 2 do with "hooking" up than making quality music. I'm dissapointed.


Funny when folks say this kinda stuff about Prince in the PMM forum you get your wig in a twist. shrug Erykah will probably never make another Mama's Gun (which I think is her undisputed classic). But each album has been always shown that she's never afraid to "go left"... and that's an element that is sorely missing in R&B. I don't really get the "hooking up" comment about Erykah or why it was even necessary. New Amerykah Pt. 1 was definitely one of the best releases of 2008.

Funny, Prince is 50 years old with 40 plus official releases. How many releases does Badu have?

I think her last album was her absolute best. Now I do say I have never owned Baduizm but it seems like the more she put out the more she progressed in change of sound. Whats that? Freakquency. headbang I'll be damned if I get another tried r&b album. At least she is talking about soemthing relevant to life and the world in this record...and the experiemntal sounds are exquisite. No one else is really doing it

I have to agree. I used to be a fan, but the past few years she turns me off. It seems that she thinks she's better than she really is. Swelled head syndrome IMO.

I disagree, New Amerykah is her only record I like.
