foreal.

 

[superblytrife]

Badu never lets me down.

 

[jesusshuttlesworth34]

The video for "Honey" was something fresh...She always comes with an original perspective. Looking forward to this.

 

[DVMNXK]

I'ma pick this up tomorrow.

"Live" and "Mama's Gun" are still my two favorite albums from her.

 

[seven30]

How's the album? I haven't been out of the house in 3 days due to the flu but i'll go out to pick this up if it's worth it.

 

[lb81986]

^^ Its definately different from her previous albums. And its even different from the first single 'Honey'. Madlib and Sa-Ra are behind the boardsmostly. How much you like the production will probably be the deciding factor in how mcuh you like the album. As far as Badu, shes great and a lot morepolitical and socially conscious on these records.

 

[airant23]

YO! Yeah... a lot more political and social commentary. I'm enjoying it so far. Haven't gotten a chance to sit and just vibe to it but it's dope.Beats bang pretty hard. DF!!!

True true, but what was up with the ending, that threw me off

ok ok....i gave it three thorough listens and so far only 3 or 4 tracks that i can vibe wit including honey, which is my fav. Although I respect her going inother directions, I don't think it was very necessary. Hope she sells well, but i still give a 2.5/5

 

[DVMNXK]

Album is amazing.

"Telephone" and "Soldier" are my two favorites as of now.

 

[ellimacecyoj]

Soldier

 

[flatbushfiyah23]

The Healer - this actually makes me think of something Nina Simone would do today
Me - Sa-Ra sonic jazzzz
Soldier - the beat is that infectious classic hip hop
Twinkle
Master Teacher

I bump most but I love the whole album, the vibe and what she was goin for

my Sa-Ra brothers in full effect

"That Hump" is already my song of 2008.

I don't even listen to the other songs anymore.
