That Hump 1

recount

Thanks to some dude, I've relistened to her catalog in the last three days and am gone baby gone all over again.

This was polled way too early.

Master Teacher has always been my favourite.

i'd've voted soldier. this is the album that keeps on giving

I can't even with these two albums. Parts 1 and 2 are collectively our Songs in the Key of Life.

Every song on this album is great, I've been feeling That Hump lately (no pun intended)

That Hump is the best

"me" is my jam, love that tune so much

"The Cell" is mine.

I had no idea until Al's rundown that Master Teacher had spawned a popular hashtag

Did we ever poll the second? We should. (Or both together, even.)

Thank you, Paul McCartney for writing "Arrow Through Me" so Badu could pilfer it.

xp Lol I always thought that that "day and night, night and day..." part in That Hump was a callback to Didnt Cha Know

No votes for honey is insane, song's pure joy

What a perfect album this is. Can't believe it has already been 10 years!

damn I just realized "Twinkle" uses the drum pattern from "Sucker MCs"

this album is thirteen years old (!)

HOW DOES IT STILL SOUND SO CONTEMPORARY???

She should make another album

fr.

and since we're on the subject of things that will never happen: the world needs that erykah / andre3000 duets album more than ever at this point.

"me" is my jam, love that tune so much

this is what i wdve voted for

i don't think we'll ever hear the badu/andre3000 album but I think we could definitely hear a new album from her at some point

I still think her Tiny Desk show is one of the greatest things I've seen in years - the only real competition is other online shows she's done - and I do wish she'd press it up on vinyl and sell it me

you speak truth, stevie. good man.

+1 for "Me"

Best album ever recorded.

nothing long form since the phone ep, right?

Which itself is like 8 years old now too, right?

OK, I guess only 6. Point is, every year without a new Badu album feels like an eternity.

WILL THEY EVER FIND THE VACCINE??
