i'm guessing not but it really sounds like him and this album IS pretty bonkers.

it's from the movie Network...

Whoa, anybody going to this at the Merriweather Post Pavilion?

"WPGC Welcomes the Summer Spirit Festival With Erykah Badu, Chrisette Michelle
Raphael Saadiq, Mike Epps, Chuck Brown, The Foreign Exchange and more!"

3 of my favorite R&B acts from 2008 on one bill. Could be great.

Erykah! Go on tour again! I'll travel as far as Dallas or DC to see you!

Indeed. And still no sight of Return of the Ankh *sigh*. Not that I should have expected her to follow through on it any time soon, but a boy can hope, right?

Latest word is it will be released next February, but I know better than to hope now. Lucky for me, the first volume has replay value unto eternity.

It does exist...

sweet thanks for the heads up!

wowowowowowow

haha love how casually this is slipped in at the end -

Badu finished by stating that the third album in the New Amerykah series would be titled Lowdown, Low Underground and would be sung in the persona of her alias Loretta Brown, a woman that’s “from the ’50s but acts like she’s from the ’40s - the 2040’s.”

janelle monáe i love you but you better get your album out quick smart if you don't want ms badu to render it completely irrelevant.

omgomgomg cannot wait!!!

The track ends with children screaming.

okay best album of 2010, I'm calling it right now

woohoooo

dayammmmm

it's gonna badu vs. maxwell for best 2010 r&b sequel

i want this now

so excited you guys!

I have no words to describe my excitement.

okay reading more of this, I really really REALLY wish people would learn and understand the difference between "atonal", "distorted" and "dissonant"

yessssssssssssss. pumped.

Not much to add here. 2010 is gonna be a strong year for music. But I feel like I've been saying this every year for the past few years.

Color me thrilled.

^this, except that i'm infuriated that i can't listen to the preview where i am right now, gonna have to wait til late tonight

oh it's just a track-by-track? progress i suppose, but we've been trolled too many times by release announcements that never happened :(

think you can hear a cellphone recording of jump in the air & stay there some places, but it's just reading for now.

I can confirm that at least one ILXOR has heard this.

and what did Geir have to say

Emperor Hongro dispenses his thoughts.

who rev?

I believe Hongro's doing a write-up somewhere, so I'll leave that up to him.

I heard it Wed night. It's GREAT.

More info, plz! How well does it complement the first volume?

It's less wild-ass than the first one; it ranges pretty widely while staying pretty resolutely R&B. Kind of Mama's Gun refracted through Pt. 1. Lots of piano and bass, a good amount of studio treatment but super approachable--the old fans who lost her w/Pt. 1 will like this a lot, I think. Last few songs get really torchy. A lyric that stood out: "I'm on my front porch rockin'/Like Lightnin' Hopkins." I think the above-linked preview says it well.

im now imagining a load of odd similies and hip hop quotes on this album.

(that hopkins one is a bit crap, though im sure it sounds good)

the old fans who lost her w/Pt. 1 will like this a lot, I think

Not gonna lie. This tempered my enthusiasm just a teeny tiny bit since I think Pt. 1 is her best album yet. But since Mama's Gun is right up there as runner-up, I guess this sounds awesome.

well I think this was always planned as the most accessible album in the series (like, "Honey" was supposed to be on this album, which is why it was only a bonus track when it was bumped to the first album)

an album of "honey"s would be the best thing ever probably

crazy about the wayne track maybe being dropped because of the leak. THANKS INTERNET.
