It'll neven be as good as Baduizm. Never. Its hard to compare the too, really! Matta o' fact, all of her albums are different than each other. I guess thats why I'm diggin' the woman! This is less organic however,,,its not really an album(just some leftovers from her tour I think). I love "Back In The Day"(Puff),,,tight feel-good music. | |

It'll neven be as good as Baduizm. Never. i don't think they are similar enough to compare. its apples and oranges. but, in the end, worldwide will get more play from me than baduizm. | |

Technically, "Worldwide Underground" is an EP, produced by Erykah under pressure from her record label even while she struggled with writer's block. And it is apparent at times in "Worldwide Underground." Still the EP flows well and is a nice record to drive to. "Back in the Day" and "I Want You" (esp the last few minutes with guitar--a shame she didn't develop that further) are my favorites.
"Mama's Gun" is the classic album to get, tho. "Baduizm" was cool, as was its live counterpart (if only for "Tyrone" and her cover of Chaka). But "Mama's Gun" was amazing and really put her over the top. Listen to "Green Eyes"--a song in three movements--and tell me that ain't genius. "That...magic, the start of something revolutionary-the Minneapolis Sound, we should cherish it and not punish prince for not being able to replicate it."-Dreamshaman32 | |

WWU is ok, but a lot of it seems half-finished. its a shame it took three years just for this - its a load of odds and ends. but i like it all the same. |

Yeah but at least Erykah was honest about the conditions under which it was produced--i.e., writers block / record label pressure.

Baduizm is an introduction to Mama's Gun and that's how I view it. Erykah is unbelievable live. That's when you will fall in love with her. | |
