’10 R&B Albums: #4 Erykah Badu New Amerykah Part Two: Return Of The Ankh

The soulful saga continued last March when Erykah Badu released the second installment of her New Amerykah series. In a decidedly new direction from her previous more political effort, this album focuses more on emotions and relationships and many tunes are anchored by familar samples. Thankfully, Badu cleverly builds off the original material and enhances it. “Turn Me Away” twists the Sylvia Striplin joint behind Junior M.A.F.I.A.’s big “Get Money” hit and a Eddie Kendricks classic provides the bounce behind the Biggie-quote-filled “Fall In Love”. Even Paul McCartney adds assitance as one of his Wings tunes touches up the gorgeous, “Gone Baby, Don’t Be Long”. A collage of creativity, NA2 is a nifty joyride through the land of funk. All aboard.





Disrespectful views at Tha Kang, T.I.? Nah, Ms. Banks you're out of line. Yeah Harris' Aussie ain't that dope but neither are you. I just saw you at Coachella and I wasn't impressed. You got the look, the swag, the tough talk but where are the tunes? "212" is alright but that's where it stops. According to Jay-Z's old board rules: You have no right to diss Tip. Look in the mirror and ask yourself: How many classic albums have you created? Are you on anyone's top 10 MCs list? Do you have any hardware on your walls, ma? Cliff is right. Keep him out of the girlfight. You're heavy in these tweets, but I hope you're finding time to create music that backs up your buzz. Or you'll soon be begone like Kreayshawn. You young ladies today bore me. *Turns up Mia X CD* No Limit forever!
The best things in life are free, but hopping on Hov's press conference stage uninvited is gon cost cha. Whatcha did was wrong! âŻB.Dot

Cosign. It really is hard to focus, I guess thats why they doing two list at a time per day but still. All the post coming back to back to back.
Anywho, this R&B list is straight so far cant argue over some Erkay Badu and Sade. Soldier of Love was a very good listen. I’m sure RR gonna get it right this time though and put Janelle Monae at the top spot.
Watch Trey Songz’s album top this. SMH @ RapRadar.
