On the converse, hearing that it's all supposed to be like "Honey" and "Annie" makes me feel a lot better about the prospects of the new album than if she was trying to make another album just like 4th World War.

i don't think she understands how much ilx loves this record and how she ought to make more like it.
& my ass and legs have gotten thick is a great line.

i arrived late, but it's gotta be 'the cell'. that song is impossibly fresh and vital, and has restored my faith in hearing something truly extraordinary emerge from the whole neo-soul thing.
― Charlie Howard, Wednesday, 7 January 2009 12:40 (4 years ago) Permalink
the cell just confused me for the longest time. i love the future-doo-wop backing vocals on the chorus.

My gf is taking a class in organizational management, and one of her textbooks contains the following passage:
"The ability to reframe is one of the most powerful capacities of great artists. It can be equally powerful for managers. Undergraduates at Vanderbilt University captured this in a class-iniated rap (for best results, rap fans should imagine the rapper Common doing these lines in a neo-soul, hip-hop style):
Reframe, reframe, put a new spin on the mess you're in.Reframe, reframe, try to play a different game.Reframe, reframe, when you're in a tangle, shoot another angle;look at things a different way."

btw there's lots of A+ discussion on the general badu thread too, which has a lot of initial reactions: Erykah Badu: C /D, S&D

I did say I'd be investigating hip-hop in 2009, didn't foresee being blindsided by R&B! Will check that thread...

lexpretend cf danger, "gotta keep that clip on mama's gun"
lexpretend …and of course "danger" sets its scene with erykah pacing the floor, baby in her arms
rodneyjgreene which of course ties into "Otherside of the Game", hence "Otherside" ---> "Danger" ---> "Soldier" = a vicious cycle of like father, like son
