Music From the Diaspora: New Amerykah: Part One (4th Volume)
"What if there was no niggas only master teachers?
I stay woke!What if there was no niggas only master teachers?
I stay woke!What if there was no niggas only master teachers now?
I stay woke!What if there was no niggas only master teachers now?
I stay woke!"Erykah Badu - "Master Teacher" 2008
After work today, I made a b-line to Circuit City to pick up Erykah Badu’s new CD “New Ameryka: Part One (4th World War)”. Once I was up in that bitch, I made my purchase, bounced back to the car & unwrapped the CD like an excited kid on Christmas day then popped the disc in.Now the CD is playing & I was like, oh no! I hate the first song but I listened to it anyway. After that disappointment, the CD recovered by giving me 11 more songs that I liked.
“New Amerykah” is much different then its predecessor “World Wide Underground”, which was more hard hitting, in your face & edgy. Erykah’s latest offering is mellow, slightly trippy & proves that homegirl can move throughout the R&B & Hip-Hop genres blazing new trails while others continue to put out bullshit like several studio artist who will not be named because I am sick of them.
Anyway………. It took Erykah almost 5 damn years to come back & I must say it was worth the wait, point blank! Now I just can’t wait to listen to it tomorrow night as I enjoy a few cocktails to relax my mind.
My standout favorites are (RealPlayer needed to listen to samples):
Wait! I also LOVED the art in the CD jacket, which to me was like an added bonus, so I am happy that I did not settle with the iTunes “clean” version offering. There are just some artists who I need to have their physical CD in my collection.
Did you cop it yet or is you???
BTW: Another disc will be dropping this summer (YES) called "New Amerykah: Part 2 (Return of the Ankh)"
In other good news my new Tizieu French Series Dunny arrived today!!!

I'm jealous of the dunny! I haven't bought one in a few months. I need to re-up on my kid robot fetish.
Have you bought any of their madcaps or vandals ?
I'm digging those as well

Torrance - its tight mos def!!!
Ladybugfromthechi - I wondered were you were. Thx for coming out of the shadows. Now that you have issues a challenge, I'm under pressure. LOL
Jovan - I love my new French Series Dunnys. I don't have any madcaps or vandals. They are to hard for me. I like the fun looking ones. Go figure! I am putting myself on a mini figure purchase ban for the next 3 months unless something really hot comes out.
