Erykah Badu: C /D, S&D

Your ears went flaccid.

The first casualties of living in the new amerykah.

Just because:

The Cell
Soldier
Love
The Healer
Master Teacher
Out My Mind, Just In Time
My People
Gone Baby, Don't Be Long
That Hump
Twinkle
20 Feet Tall
Honey
Agitation
Turn Me Away (Get MuNNY)
Jump Up in the Air (Stay There)
Window Seat
Telephone
Me
You Loving Me
Fall in Love (Your Funeral)
Amerykah Promise
Incense
Umm Hmm

Meh, switch "Incense" and "Umm Hmm" around.

hmmm, wonder what happened to the highlighted tracks

Here is the track list for "Nu AmErykah":

"American Promise"
"The Healer"
"Me"
"My People"
"Speech"
"Soldier 7"
"The Cell"
"Twinkle"
"Love Me"
"Honey"
"Emotions"
"Don't Be Long"
"YPOM"
"Hot Slow Jam"
"Jump Up in the Air"
"Loretta Brown"
"Dirty Dirty"
"The Healer Outro"

"Loretta Brown" is surely slated for volume three. Probably some of the others too, and (finally) "Annie."

wait... there is a part 3?

!!!

Can never keep track of whether the Lowdown Loretta Brown album is going to be part three or is just unrelated.

she says in new york magazine that maybe pt iii's coming together right now. the next one was going to be the loretta brown soul production one i believe. some playback reviews said that it was mostly in the can but i can't imagine hearing that and assuming that it'll be out real soon.

Not when Ankh was originally "supposed to" be released in July 2008.

haha I already wrote in the SOTT book about how I used to run around in my Superman Underoos pretending I was on the cover of Dirty Mind when I was six.

I used to wear old hose as detachable sleeves and pretend I was Ruth Pointer.

Unrelated, from what she said at the listening party.

Good. Always preferred diptychs to trilogies.

Speaks volumes that the bottom 10-11 songs on this list would still make a damn good album.

xpost yep, speaks two volumes, in fact

"I don't consider myself the Queen of Neo-Soul. I don't even know what neo-soul is. I'll be the Queen of Neo-Funk, though."

Flash forward 40 years: Woman, once a child, grateful to be able to tell her grandchildren about seeing Erykah Badu naked

lord knows I would be

so last night it was warm out and i was driving around, and i started with 'love' and 'fall in love' and was truly feelin' it. i like the odd phrase length in 'fall in love', it's a nice spin on the sample.

I used to wear old hose as detachable sleeves and pretend I was Ruth Pointer.

uh wait are you gay

Can I just Erykah Badu POX

xpost I thought Ruth Pointer was a really beautiful man.

this whole situation has made me realize that badu is a lot more popular than I thought at this point lol

i mean, bill o'reilly was talking about it the other day

haha seriously - hope nothing happens to her tho :(

He no doubt mentioned her cuz she was a black woman in trouble.

I like the weird voting thing to the side of the story.

I think this is the girl who tattled: http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100000296696623

/creepy

"it was a publicity stunt, although a well timed one because of the album's release"

well it is a video for the album u idiot

the last quarter i think of this album is my jams

i don't know that i've ever heard another piece of music so entirely geared towards evoking pleasure as this album.

oh come on. I wouldn't even say that about any of her albums. 2 many srs moments.

but it's all so tasty and lush

maybe i should've said geared towards pleasuring me. i love how, even though she's obviously pared down the weirdo shit, the warbly bloops and bleeps and barely audible samples are still there, just buried a little deeper.

lol @ the biggie "burler alarm starts ringing" quoting
lol @ the Enemy Mine sample

this album is just about nothing but great "deep cuts"

also lol @ "chopped and screwed for you"

from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Holy_Mountain_(1973_film)

Erykah Badu is depicted as one of the movies characters on her album cover "New Amerykah, Part 2: Return of the Anhk"

is this wiki-vandalism or am i missing something..

well this one makes more sense

this record is so much more inviting than pt 1. i've been listening to it daily.

this album is a little boring tbh :(

i want to believe

it got less boring for me

whenever someone says something is boring, i read it as "i have ADD"

well

dude did review 1000+ albums last year

btw after reading that studio article that mentioned how records vocals in the control room w/out headphones, i realized you can hear it really obviously at the end of 'the cell'
