"Almost 3 years later...where is the followup to Worldwide Underground?"
I don't frequent artist, so I apologize if this is like the 3,000,000th post on this or something. I guess we can't make "Where is Malik B?" posts anymore lol.
Anyway, yea. Wasn't WWU billed as sort of a prelude to another full-length album? I remember getting the general impression that there was something big just on the horizon at the time.
Now I know Erykah hasn't exactly been in hiding recently (she's coming to TX in the next month or so actually, if I recall correctly), but three years is a pretty long layover in music industry terms, especially considering that WWU was billed as an EP.

im not hip to the music lingo on what is considered an album....but i truly love that "record" just as much as i love mama's gun
i want you, think twice, back in the day....all classics in my book shit i remember her show at the apollo b4 the album came out, i was like "what the hell is this?!...i need these songs to be in her new "record""

11. "RE: Is Game Theory an EP too, then?" In response to Reply # 10
Question people… Compared to Baduiz, and Mama’s Gun, could WU even compare in lyrical content. HELL TO THE NIZAH as my man Gangtaliscious would say. Experimental, EP whatever you wanna call it… fact of the matter is it sounded great but was a let down following MG, and this is coming from a BADU DYCK SUCKA. I love this woman. I want more than a musically inclined masterpiece though. Gimme some words and lyrics that I can feel. Or am I asking too much.
And I’m glad someone brought up the length of WU and Game Theory. Although my boy tells me that I sound like a OKP hater when I start to get nit picky about album lengths… I agree they’re a bit short. NEVER THE LESS, have no fear that’s the day new projects hit the store, I got my cash on the counter.

why is that so hard to understand ? Back up off Badu - It's not fair to put her in the same category as those other herbs because she's still working pretty damn hard I've seen her in concert twice this year.
Badu Bilal D'Angelo Lauryn Hill Macy Gray
are just trying to teach the kids about delayed gratification. the music of true artists only gets better w/ time

>im excited. i already know it'll be dope. > >yall are blind to me if you don't think worldwide is her best >effort. To me it is and I like her live album better than MG also. MG lacks the spontaneity of WWU and the Live LP.
23. "What I dont get..." In response to Reply # 21
...is how people can even compare her albums. I mean everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but one thing I always loved about the stuff she's put out is that it was never what I expected.
Each is different to the last which is what I'd expect from an "artist"
WWU to me was more of a "vibe" set which is probably why it doesnt lyrically touch the other albums but overall I apreciated it for what it was.
Saw her in the UK a few weeks back and she played a new song (which sounded kinda nice) so cant wait to see what she comes with next...

.....turned dat E.P. into an album if you azk me; oh yeah nobody didn't azk me, well nigga I'm givin' it anywayz.
I think people or should I say "artistz" need to be careful how how they uze da termz "albumz", "e.p.", & etc. cauze to me it'z all bazed on time length of da songz, da entire cd/lp, & in Erykah'z caze da time length between somethin' dat you considerin' to make a part 2 for.
Dat damn E.P. waz over 45 minutez long, phuck dat, dat shyt waz a damn album, not some long azz maxi single full remixez & b-side shyt.
