that vocalese is only an interlude, tho. one that goes on too long, maybe, but not something i'll get in a fit over.
the album's biggest weakness imo is the call-to-ceremony RAMP ripoff, really.

amerykah promise is good i think, but it would be more effective if it was replayed rather than just looped up. its a bit lazy.

Ms. Badu-Badu-Badu's touring (and ridiculously good live if you have not yet had the opportunity...).
Touring with The Roots (in Boston and D.C. anyway), that is.

oh snap
― HI DERE, Friday, 21 March 2008 22:09 (sixteen years ago) link
all you jerks need to do is have one listen to 'mamas gun.' track one alone is better than anything in the world.
this applies to 'amerykahn promise' right now

way better than i expected (the record, not her legs)
― Granny Dainger, Friday, 9 May 2008 13:37 (sixteen years ago) link
her legs, too
I get the impression that I'll never in a million years wrap my head completely around this record. Too many multitudes and shit.

This is completely wrong. It's totally Pretty Toney-style songjack awesomeness.
― The Reverend, Friday, 9 May 2008 15:43 (sixteen years ago) link
songjack it is. i just dont think its awesomeness. id prefer it if they did what they did on didnt cha know on mamas gun.

Well, you're entitled to your own rong opinion.
― The Reverend, Friday, 9 May 2008 15:53 (sixteen years ago) link
it's just a neat looped sample with all this cool intro stuff going on over it. doesn't need anything else.

I'm still kinda weirdly ambivalent about this album, hoping Part Two grabs me more. I guess that's still due out in July?

havent listened to this in awhile since it came out but i have fond memories and im afraid they're rong so i'll wait a lil bit longer
'honey' is definitely a classic single tho

I did end up picking up a used copy of Mama's Gun when I copped the new one. It's damn good, especially "Penitentiary Philosophy and "Didn't Cha Know" and "A.D. 2000", but I'm not nearly as fucking floored with it as New Amerykah, which I've listened to at least 30, maybe as many as 50 times. A few days ago, after listening to it three times in a row, I kind of had to remind myself that there's other music out there to be heard.

you lot are weird i swear.
you must not like old jazz-soul.

But yeah not sure what the jazz-soul bit means. This album is all Funkadelic like.

"that hump" is one of my fave songs ever
― The Brainwasher, Thursday, 15 May 2008 20:16 (sixteen years ago) link
i am listening to the new album more now than i did when it came out. i have to say i liked it alot then, i love it now. it is definitely a more warm weather record IMO. "honey" especially sounds better with the windows down driving on the freeway when its like 80 degrees out, but the whole album really benefits. i love love love the intro track "30 thousand megawatts radiating your soul!". that shit kills me, totally P-Funk.
this one and "voodoo" are the landmark soul albums from my lifetime so far. i am really looking forward to the next parts!
― pipecock, Friday, 16 May 2008 17:09 (sixteen years ago) link
just saying that saying 'this is better in every way than mamas gun' seems weird. sort of like people saying the roots' game theory or even the new one are better than things fall apart.
