TODAY’S MATHEMATICS: BADU EDITION PT. 1 April 5, 2010 10 O-Dub new release soul/funk + + + = My people, I am so obsessed with this new album. You have no idea.
You are not the only one. I have literally had this on repeat for two straight days..the entire album. I have played “Gone baby, don’t be long” to death! I know my neighbors are sick of my ass!
Yep same here. First listen, I was like … hmmmm some GREAT soul tracks, but still some stoner unfinished stuff … but it’s all grown on me.
just adding my name to last comment, getting used to this new comment format
Snap…great listening
how do the biggie and boyz II men link to it?
1) “There’ll be slow singing and flower bringing, if my burglar alarm starts ringing” = from Biggie’s “Warning”.
2) When I think of burglar alarm’s ringing in a *romantic* context, I always think of the video to that Boyz II Men song.
haa kool man thanks.
Yeah, nice album Oliver! Not as surprizing as the New Amerykah Part I but the more you play it the more you know… that it’s definitly good stuff. And a lot of hip hop in it. I like the first and the last song, too.
I posted one on my blog.
Best,
Laurent – Clap Yo Handz

This is one slinky sound. Smooth as glass.
A careless use of the “Intimate Friends” sample. Speeding it up just wrings all the juice out of Eddie’s song. Also, it’s kind of a passe sample choice for a self-proclaimed “visionary” artist. Alicia Keys had a huge (cheesy) hit with it a few years ago. Kanye flipped it first for 213’s “Another Summer” back in 2004, which was way better than Badu’s version. No one noticed. Maybe if Warren G had streaked to promote the record…
