(check out okayplayer for the full story, it's totally worth squinting at your screen to read the scan)
If I haven't mentioned it already I'll go on the record now. New Amerykah: Part One (4th World War) is my shit! Initially I was on some, I like it but not as much as Baduizm or Mama's Gun, but after a week I can say --- bump that - it's dope. Period. Apparently a lot of folks agree because she sold 123,900 copies her first week out.
A few of you expressed some eagerness to discuss, so let's do it. I'll post a few vids to help us along.
Erykah talking about "The Healer"
Erykah performing "Soldier" live for VH1 Soulstage
Erykah performing "Me" live for VH1 Soulstage
"Telephone"
Oh and if I didn't make it obvious enough for ya, "Telephone," "Soldier," "The Healer," and "Me" are my favorite songs on the album...
Talk to me y'all!

BLESS YOU, CHILD!
Erykah is that bitch! I love the new album, like you, even moer after a week of listenin to it. She is truely a teacher. The Healer is good. It's different, and it makes you pay attentiont o what she's sayin as opposed to a beat. THANK YOU FOR THE SOLDIER VIDEO! THAT'S MY SHIT! You can tell she's feelin her shit. The message is uplifting and inspiring.

I said in the other post that "Me" "Telephone" "Soldier" "The Cell" and "AmErykahn Promise" were some of my favorites. If she don't et nominated for every award out there, we'll know MUSIC, not just hip-hop, is DEAD.

GREAT POST, Rebel, great post....
Erykah is a lil' to left field for me this time atound. Her first cd is her best too me. But I wish her luck!
It is "left" Scooby, but it's hott. Some of the songs are nuts, like for real, but they're good...
Yeah, I just brought the Badu album yesterday...it's a bit militant for my taste, but she's spreading a message, so i'ma keep listening to it, hope I warm up to it, "me" is definetly my favorite so far though....I LOVE that soul mix, "Zion" is my favorite Lauryn Hill song, it's so passionate, and that "Light" remix is dope too, good blog today!
These are definately the best songs on the album! As a matter of fact I think "soldier" should be her next single. The album is short and sweet the way an album should be. Artist need to realize that those albums with more than 13 songs tend to have a lot of filler.
i have to take the time to really listent o this album, love the clips.
I applaud u for this, I don't think there has ever been a whole e. Badu post ever! I don't think her album is "left" at all, her album has been the best release this year so far. Soulrebel, keep up the good work, cuz it looks like we may be hearing about some good artists...
ERYKAH BADU IS RAW FOOTAGE

Love the new album...get high and listen...shit'll blow your mind...
"it's like the weed give a nigga the sixth sense, make me understand shit that didnt make sense..."
I agree with Scooby, the album was a little too far left for my taste, but so was Worldwide Underground. "Me" and especially "Telephone" are the ish though.
I like Badu but can completely understand when folks say she is too 'left' or as I like to say..too deep.
Don't get me wrong..deep is good but for me it still needs to have some sense of direction to be considered a good body of work. This latest cd takes time to grasp because it seems like it is all over the place. If I had to guess, I would say the whole cd was put together over a long period of time. It's just not cohesive. But then again..that is a part of her Baduizm I suppose. Some great tracks nonetheless.
Sup Adrian! Yeah I am not knocking Erykah but I really could not get into her cd. I was like ok this is different. But to each is own. Soul Rebel, u should do a post on Ledisi! Her voice is crazy and her cd Lost and Found is the truth. We need more focus on these underrated artsist because BET ain't gonna do it! I see why alot of artists are going the independent route.
That soulful mix cranks something bad....soulman who???? lol
MMM yes........ personally i dont understand erykahs new album, some tracks got me intrigued, but i think im gonna have to let it sink in for a few years...... i think erykah is very advanced...... Hi Soul Rebel..... im mr. ed!
At first I wasn't all that hyped on it. But I had some wine and enjoyed it. I ain't where u r yet but I wouldn't say that I won't get there.

Yep! This album started like Worldwide Underground for me. At first I was like, "ehhhhhhhh!" Then next thing you know, I'm walking around with the tracks in my head. I'd have to say "Telephone," "Me" and "Honey" are doing it for me right now.
man how in the hell can u say it's too advance??? either it's some stupid niggaz on here or like wakethefuckup said LAZY!! i understood what she was saying the 1st time i put the album in the cd player..look @ the artwork she has for each song also...yall niggaz need to expand your mind!!!!
WAKETHEFUCKUP.....I LOVE U!
the reason why girls are called hoes is because nowadays you have millions and millions of girls useing guys for their money a 19 yea old girl thats real pretty will have sex with a 80 year old million air just cause he is rich its all going on in music,hollywood,sports and everything.not saying guys dont gold dig but girls do it wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy more. i think they need to make a law to stop this cause its called being a hooker folks.
find out why this dude is being called the next Kanye WEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Edreys "I like it " video on youtube a lot of people are calling hi the next big thing in hip hop
Is it just me, or is "THAT HUMP" being overlooked by everybody up here?? Yall are forgetting that one. IDK, maybe yall just don't like it, which I definitely DON'T SEE HOW. It seems undeniable to me, but to each his/her own. PEACE!!
Erykah rules! I plan on buying her new album. One of the last true voices of R&B left....

Peace Justice,
Only Ms. Badu can make a song about overcomming drug addiction sound as creatively beautiful as "The Hump"......
and smh@the lost talking about it's too "left/militant/intellectual" but then praise a man who's creativity compares a secret life to being "trapped in a closet" (how original, smh) or even how females remind them of vehicles....(lol)
Soldier is gonna be the next single, and it(well at least the first verse) is dedicated to her and Dre 3K's son Seven.
The album is refreshing, especially in a world where r&b content is limited to stagnantly limited to fucking, make-up/break-ups, and partying.

I loved her new album! It has a theme, its production is risk taking and creative and songs like "Telephone","Honey" and "Soldier" are an example of quality, honest music. Even my peoples in Mexico are loving it!
You need to hear Conya Doss CD "Just Because". It's a little outdated but it is one of the best CD's ever made.
