Dope album, have been listening to this all weekend, dope dope, Erykah has consistently been ill to me, always something fresh....The track 'soldier' has been on repeat this whole morning...A definite cop for me tomorrow. Pick this up...you need it in your life!!
The honey video is dope as well, with use of covers from old school groups and singers very creative.

Here is backstory for the track 'Telephone', story from Okayplayer. If so..its powerful.
""Telephone" - last track of the album inspired by a story Dilla's mother told Badu. Evidently during his final days, Dilla would float in and out of coherence, having very real conversations with people no one else could see. One of these people, as Dilla told his mother, was ODB. Dirty was telling Dilla that when he gets to the other side not to get on the red bus, though it was inviting. The white bus would be the one to pick him up. Great, beautiful song. Lyric: "Telephone! It's Old Dirty. He wants to give you directions home." Only Badu could make ODB sound like a visionary guide through the afterlife. When people say funerals are celebrations of an individual's life (as they fight back tears and look anything but celebratory), this song makes you believe it. The track closes with the uplifting words "Celebrate tonight" repeated."
How desperate is the HRC campaign? good lord from indifference to loathing, thats how i feel about the clintons. From her shrill accusations over the weekend, they crying and the prior attacks to draw Obama into race politics , failed miserably and today they are circulating a picture of Obama dressed as Somali elder, Pathetic and disgusting...anyone with a brain can see what they are trying, the tried to insinuate he is muslim before.

I love her tribute to the legends with the album covers in that video. This album is far removed from the Neo Soul genre she was instrumental in beginning but still makes for good listening esp when getting high!
