Album: New Amerykah Part One (4th World War)
Artist(s): Erykah Badu
Official Drop Date: February 26, 2008
Blades: .5
Review: Always one for taking us on a Time Warp Trip to the 1970s, Erykah Badu returned with New Amerykah Part One (4th World War). Let’s face it, at this point most folks want to see how far in outer space Ms. Badu has mentally traveled. Usually being sold to the public as an enlightened Hip Hop/Neo-Soul artist, Badu seems to enjoy confusing the audience.
This album was filled with titles that speak of togetherness and getting beyond the fluff of society, but the lyrics for fell short and the nursery-rhymed/head pounding/psychedelic music did not help. Who is she at war with, her fans? Because that’s exactly what it felt like listening to suffering through this album.
Badu packed this project with many clips from films sounding as though they came from the 70s, but then the fillers became more interesting than the actual album. The unnecessary My People chants drove me up the wall after 20 seconds into the track. Soldier was a song that I could vibe with but only for so long. I believe towards the end of the album the music began to grate on my nerves. Another thing I’ve noticed was that Badu was not completely audible on this project as she either sounded muffled or the music overpowered her. She was going in and out on songs and that mess is just not appealing to a paying customer. I’d like to HEAR what the hell I just paid for. (damn no return policies)
Seriously, this album sounded as though folks were watching movies rather than creating music in the damn studio. As she sang about trying to get over That Hump, I was just trying to make it to the end of the freaking album. This song sounded beyond depressing and listeners should be placed on suicide watch while playing this crap. Why was Telephone 7:48 minutes long????? WHY!?! Why not just tell the industry a good F. U. and move on Erykah?? Do you hate us this much? Over 7 minutes of mind-numbing nonsense! Over 7 MINUTES! And then some dude is talking about he’s scared… I’m scared buddy!
Then she had a bonus track? For what? Can one have bonus garbage? To my surprise Honey was actually – can I say it? Decent. So out of an entire album she left the one good song as a “hidden” track – nice, real nice. 
I’m going to chalk this album up to “Coaster Status” and get my drinks lined up.

Ashley Judd seems to have added her happy ass to the long list of folks in denial of the monster that their precious industry (the W.O.S.) has created. Judd has taken it upon herself to reiterate the obvious while ignoring the giant wizard puppeteer behind the puppets.
espite the truth that there are no set programs, more than half of the shows are unconfirmed, the first week or more have only been previews of what MIGHT be shown, and more than half of all television viewers have yet to see anything on the OWN Network, mainstream
2010 has been another year where the WOS Celebs have stepped their game up in the category of bullshit, hot mess, and sloppiness. Yesterday, two WOS young bloods were in battled in another Internet War of Words. Twitter has become the "safe zone" to attack folks behind a computer and have the fans directly involved. Instant bullshit brought to everyone's and anyone's computer screens - whether asked for it or not.
