So where are the 2 remaining cd's a Badu's trilogy 4 this fiscal year?

They will be released when the dick seeds I planted in my backyard will grow into trees.

I wonder if the record company is on her to produce a "hit" and not just some creative music?

But seriously, she's late as hell. Knew it was too good to be true.

I wouldn't be surprised if the label wanted her to do something a little bit more palatable. How I wish these folks could just put out what they wanted when they wanted.

We waited eight years for Maxwell and he delivered with interest, so maybe there's hope yet 4 the next 2 chapters of Erykah's "Nu Amerykah" and D'Angelo's "James River".....

I hope Maxwell doesn't forget we're waiting on his next CD either. But I have no doubt Erykah's will be hot.

If she keeps gettin preggers every year we can forget it. The herbs from overseas she was talking about might have something to do with her slowed down creativity. If she practice what she preaches then reporters and fans wouldn't have to give her a hard time.

The only song I like that she put out recently was "Honey", all the rest on the album was pure CRAP!

At this point I really don't give a damn,,,,ALL I wanna hear is the full studio version of Annie don't wear no panties

Probably bumped to 2010. Who had the trilogy plan first, her or Maxwell?

Prince.

Annie (Don't wear no panties)

I would love them to really really take the time on NA2.

I think it would be killer to release EB's Greatest Hits FIRST - get the public up on her again and see how many truly timeless hits and tracks she has given us for the past 12 years. THEN come out in April or May with the soulful, more "Baduizm" vibe with her follow up to NA - Return of the Ahnk.

If Motown/Universal could do a project that delivers by that week of Christmas, that would be the best strategy.

My Ideal Tracklisting of "on & on...the beast of Badu"

1. Rimshot (Live)
2. On & On
3. ...& On
4. Otherside of the Game
5. Afro
6. AppleTree
7. Certainly (Flipped it Mix)
8. Bag Lady
9. Didn't Cha Know
10.Green Eyes
11.Cleva
12.Back in the Day Puff
13.Love of My Life Worldwide
14.Honey
15.The Healer
16.Soldier
17.Rimshout (Outro)

if it means there will be more actual, full songs ont he next one, vs. sound collages and half-baked song "ideas" (like on the last one), i'm all for it. i enjoyed the last one, but i don't know if it's the direction to go two or three times in a row.

I don't the masses have been in2 Erykah since her debut. She has had hits, but has not garnered the same attention as she did when "On & On" dropped. Not to mention, "Honey" was almost 2 years ago and I don't think r&b radio has forgotten her.

Thanks for posting! I didn't know what Harle was referring to

OR you can hear small clip from the studio version from...


The videos' mid-section.

Harlepolis said:

that little "hey ya"-looking break?

Harlepolis said:

Well I heard that she's done recording it and it could, maybe, possibly drop after she's done touring around our (hers and mine) birthday February 26, 2010.

It's tentatively titled: "New Amerykah, Pt. 2: Return Of The Ankh."


Now, if this happens and those seeds start sprouting trees and you see any big black ones, you Orgnote me at once, ya hear!!!

Shit that was supposed to come out in 2008 hot off the heels of Part 1, and then was pushed back to 2009. I was still expecting it before year's end.

Cinnie said:

Ya
