Erykah BaduMama's Gun
$33.00Call to Order
Recorded at Jimi Hendrix's Electric Lady Studios with the Soulquarians collective. Questlove, J Dilla, James Poyser, Pino Palladino. And made alongside D'Angelo's Voodoo and Common's Like Water for Chocolate. 'Bag Lady' curls with smoky, slinky groove about carrying emotional baggage across generations. 'Didn't Cha Know' floats on a hypnotic J Dilla loop. 'Green Eyes' is a sprawling 10-minute closer written during Badu's separation from Andre 3000 , raw autobiography in three phases: jealousy, heartbreak, acceptance. Engineer Russell Elevado restricted all equipment to vintage hardware, and a studio cat named Jimi would only stay if he approved of the mix.
