Query: WHAT IS THIS MESS??????

Ever since the dreaded "Badu Live" CD, Erykah Badu has drifted into mainstream, commercialistic garbage, releasing songs that sound nothing like, or similar to those on her ground-breaking debut, "Baduizm." She further drifts into R&B oblivion with her latest release of "Worldwide Underground." After what I sampled from a friend, refusing to buy it after hearing the monotonous "Mama's Gun," I was very disappointed! Even my friend can't get with this one, and he's as big a Badu fan as I am, or was. "Danger" and "Bump It", the only ear-catching songs here can't even save this CD from musical ennui. Erykah repeats hooks way too many times, songs linger on forever and the beats are so lifeless they need a defibrillator to revive them. EB dropped the ball on this one, and if she doesn't hurry and return to the down-home soulful, funk flava that permeated "Baduizm", I'm gonna have to stop listening to her...BUT, uhhm, I'm kinda doin that now. Better luck next time, Erykah!
