Album Review
Since the arrival of Erykah Badu onto the neo-soul scene back in 1997 with Baduizm, commercial music stood up and took notice with an onslaught of similar artists reaching comparable peaks of mainstream success. After taking some time off for introspection and to raise her son, Badu returned with Mama's Gun, which is a turning point for her in many ways. Gone are the cryptic "Baduizms" that glossed all over her first release, replaced with a more honestly raw Badu singing directly from her heart rather than her head. Sonically, Badu wades out into adventurous territories as well. From the Jimi Hendrix-inspired opening number to the closing ten-minute song suite, she develops fresh aspects of her sound, employing artists such as legendary jazz vibraphonist Roy Ayers, jazz trumpeter Roy Hargrove, Stephen Marley, and Roots drummer ?uestlove; she sought after producer Jay Dee as well. The results are consistently tasteful, which only helps to prove once again that Badu is miles ahead of the rest.

One of the best albums, from start to finish, I
by QastorTroyI'm not sure if it was the drama with Andre 3000 surrounding this album or what but you can feel the heart in this album. In 2009, 9 years later, I can still pop this album in, press play, and enjoy every minute of it. My favorite is Green Eyes. A great movement piece about love and hurt...
Amazing
by JB ABQI have had this album for 8 years, and I still listen to it on a regular basis. It is one of those albums that always creeps onto my playlists, and I am always reminded how much I love her by the time the song is over. Eryka Badu consistently produces interesting, quality work that is both musically and lyrically intelligent. An artist of her quality can produce songs that I listen to over and over again and still find new meaning each time. If you want to hear quality music that has something to say, buy this album you will not regret it!!!
