Mrs. Badu returns after a five year hiatus to bring us New Amerykah. Part One of the series takes us straight from earth, past the planets occupied by Kelis and Missy Elliot and onto another planet inhabited by her comtemperaries Andre3000 and MosDef. With a ting her and a off the wall voice here, she has no intentions of making a mainstream album on this effort. The single "Honey" is used as a ploy, and a very good one at that because none of the other songs on the CD is anything remotely close to it. No particular catchy choruses and verses. The song "Me" and "New Amerykah Promise" are our favorites CD. This is not a CD you really can bump one or two songs on, you have to listen to it all the way trough. Go Cop it!!
