Just finished listening to it.. I like 20ft tall, Window Seat,Fall in Love/Incense.. ? that You loving me skit was better than most of the tracks and that ? was 1 minute i felt i needed an instruction booklet to understand ... Idk that ? wasn't doin it for me. Im tempted to delete the other damn songs...Dammit..

It cures insomnia, boring and repetitive lyrics and beats....
-
from how you reviewed it sounds disappointing as pt1 was awsome i mi ght get it later in da week
-
Was listening to it earlier. Kinda just drifted over my head, a bit forgettable really. I need to give it another listen tomorrow
-
I'm a little underwhelmed too
but I've only listened to it once
I feel like a couple of the tracks are growers -
Out My Mind, Just in Time is probably the best song on there to me......

That seems like 4 different damn songs.. first 3 minute or so could be a song by itself.. its was like she wa out of time.. and mashed that last track together.. -
I just bought it at Target along with Wu-Massacre and Raymond vs. Raymond.. listening now. on track 2.
-
and what happened to the 5 different versions of Jump Up in the Air... ? itunes bonus tracks?
-
its driving at night music...thats the vibe i'm getting so far from this album...20 feet tall, window seat, and turn me away are the songs i'm trying to avoid repeating so i can get a feel of the album...its better than her pt:1 album which imo was meh
-

Wow. Pt. 1 was funky. Maybe I'm just a stan.. IDK. But it definitely has a different vibe. -
I'm very disappointed in the album because Pt 1 was the ? . Kinda glad I got the leak. Its seems like there are 4 or 5 songs on this album and the rest are fillers. It just doesn't flow. That song with the Eddie Kendricks sample hurt my feelings. The album just isn't fresh and seems like one long jam session with those 1 minute "songs".

i guess i didn't get that laid back badu vibe from her on that album...it felt boring imo....i'ma sucka for neo soulish type of melodies...which is why i'm enjoying pt 2 -

This....I was looking forward to hearing all the artist she listed spit on that.... -

Hate to say it, but this was my first impression as well. Theres potential for growing though. I wasn't feelin pat 1 on first listen too much either. -
This album is fiya. I keep Umm Hmm on repeat.
-
dang. i actually liked it
fav's right now are ummm hmmm, gone baby dont be long, fall in love and turn me away. -
This my favorite track off the album. Man, i see why she re release didnt do to well the first time but i bought it again and its with different track. -
After "New Amerykah pt.1" I expected another psychadelic mix of soul, hip hop, some strange sounds and politically conscious lyrics. This album is completely different to predecessor, but not less satisfying. Badu took it straight to "Baduism" days. It's smooth & mellow mix of soul and jazz best for bumping during late evenings. It's less challengeable than pt.1 , but she did a good job.

You know we talking about Part 2 right? Honey is my Favorite from part 1, but lets focus on this album (assuming that you did listen to the album). -
Bout to give it another listen right now.. see if my assessment changes
-
Window Seat def. grew on me bigtime. The type of song you have to let it grab you rather than trying to like it from the start. You can think about nothing and let the song go on, that's when you can appreciate it more. Like, when you're tired after coming back from work and just want to chill with some music in the background.
-
Ok...can anyone post it?
-
Like others have mentioned, at first the album was forgettable for me. Shoot, Part 1 was the exact same way IMO. But now, like Part 1, it is growing on me. I'm diggin the vibe. Badu mentioned that it wasnt gonna be like Part 1.
