Can never keep track of whether the Lowdown Loretta Brown album is going to be part three or is just unrelated.
Unrelated, from what she said at the listening party.

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 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.

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.

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..

i dunno, the album is great of course but there are 3-4 tracks that I skip ("get munny," "fall in love (your funeral)" "incense," and sometimes "umm hmmm"), which seems like a lot... "get munny" and "fall in love (your funeral)" seem kind of pointless to me
― The Brainwasher, Monday, 12 April 2010 18:16 (fourteen years ago) link
get munny is top 3 for me easy
― emotional radiohead whatever (Jordan), Monday, 12 April 2010 18:18 (fourteen years ago) link
maybe because I love the OG sylvia striplin song, so hearing badu's version is like "um...ok?" total filler, and not even in a good way like "my people" off of 4WW
― The Brainwasher, Monday, 12 April 2010 18:21 (fourteen years ago) link
get munny is sesame street funk at its finest imo
― samosa gibreel, Monday, 12 April 2010 18:22 (fourteen years ago) link
haha otm
― emotional radiohead whatever (Jordan), Monday, 12 April 2010 18:24 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah i'm the same way as Brainwasher w/ those 2 songs, the overly familiar samples make 'em feel like filler that just comes and goes imo
― some dude, Monday, 12 April 2010 18:25 (fourteen years ago) link
also feel a lot less jazzed about "Agitation" after learning it's another beatjack, rockism or whatever be damned
― some dude, Monday, 12 April 2010 18:27 (fourteen years ago) link
get munny is one of those tracks it'd be cool to hear her bust out unexpectedly at a show, but on an album, yeah, it seems pointless. the striplin version is better.
