  1. Looking 4ward to another Badu album… the last one was very left field, but I am and always will be a fan.

    Brandy preps another one? Wow that was quick..

  2. M.Cornell

    Not that Brandy’s last album wasn’t good, but it’s good to see her switching up her team this time around. I think something new for her would be good.

    Love Badu, but hopefully this installment in the New Amerykah is better than the first.

    It seems like T.I.’s jail time has been prolonged for the longest…gotta love the America court system lol

  3. www.twitter.com/viciousB

    you guys dont know good music. 4th world war was THE BEST. the least interesting song on the whole damn abum was the damn song HONEY. ugghhh.

    I LOVE YOU BADUUUUU!

  4. Big G

    Whats the joy in continuing to release albums that nobody is buying?

  5. myra

    too bad brandy’s albums don’t sell
    erykah…that should be interesting as usual…who are the ankhs? people livin’ in her planet ??
    and finally t.i. : even if he killed a cow, i’d love this guy :- can’t say nothin’ wrong about him

  6. Cold as Fire Baby Hott as Ice

    Brandy would make a lot more money if she actually wrote her own songs. And the duet with Ray J is a no no, surely she could collaborate with someone who had talent. Nonetheless I normally like her albums, they’re always solid.

  7. tRaCi (got a good a$$ man)

    brandy no dont do it….ur washed up honey…erykah i dont even know what she sings about i like the “On and On” erykah the “Kiss Me on My Neck” erykah i dont even dig her music anymore….

  8. FallBackHaters

    @ #4- You wrong for that one LOL.

    And it’s about TI goes inside, the sooner he’s in the sooner he’s out. We’ll all be praying for him, be safe B.

  9. I dont think Brandy is washed up. She needs to leave them lame ass producers (THE DREAM) alone. And Pharrell is hit and miss when he works with female artists. She needs to beat Bryan Cox over the head and tell him to make her some hits and stop giving them to Mary J. and Mariah.

  10. Proud2BBlack

    IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII CANT WAIT 4 BRANDY N BADU N TIP CaN dO NO WRONG IM ALL ABOUT SEEING BLACK PEOPLE OUT THERE DOING WAT THEY WERE BORN TO DO AND DOING IT WELL I SUPPORT ALL N TAKING CARE OF THERE BUSINESS AND I WANNA SUPPORT THEM SO THEY CONTINUE TOO

    I WISH PEOPLE WOULD LEAVE THAT NEGATIVE HATIIIN SHYT ALONE AND SHOW LOVE IS THAT 2 MUCH 2 ASK LMAOOOOOOOO (ON SOME SERIOUS NOTE LOL)

  11. Divajr.

    MJB and Tip collabo is cute!!!

  12. I'm Movin on

    ALRIGHT BRANDY! COME THRU BYTCH!

  13. Lil Nikki

    it’s not like Brandy’s album sold well…so it’s not surprise she is already back in the studio.

  15. WAKE UP

    CANT WAIT FOR MS BADU LOVED THE LAST ONE I REALLY LOVE THE RESEARCH THEY MAKE ON HER SOUNDS ITS UNIQUE!!

    TI. IS MILKIN THE FEATURINGS DOESNT HE?

  16. Dalila

    I can’t believe people are saying Brandy is washed up she don’t need to come back, but when she doesn’t come back people still say she washed up and need to release something real quick I’m glad she is not sitting down and giving up like other singers do!!! She is a real Queen and true talent and the reason her albums don’t sell is becuse people sleep on her!!! I mean what yaw expect her to do sit down and not make a living or go hide in a corner somewhere nope not B-rocka do your thing sweetie you are the one!!! And I am looking foward to Miss Erykah Badu as well as T.I and Mary J. aka the Queen of RnB and Hip Hop!!!!

  17. Dalila

    Oops I meant because!!!

  18. Squirtboi

    My girl B Rocka finally gettin on track! She kno that in order to sell, she gotta stay consistent!! Good look Brandy!!

  19. I wish T.I. would go to jail already.

  20. carl

    No offense but u need to step it up. That brandy news is sooo old.

  21. StayAfro

    Brandys new album should be a lot more fun, i think she realised that she didnt tap into the fun side on the human album or that the label wanted to focus on her vunerbale side, as she was being humble about her ressurection into da industry but im sure this time shes eager for the fun.. she kept goin on about ‘first in luv’ being her third single off da human album and that track was fun. SICK beat !/SICK vocals?!! MADD adlibs?!! Just hope that her next effort gets a stronger promotion, and that the tracks for the new album are carefully selected, and the right singles are released. As for Ray.. i think they should save that for there collabo album,, but who knows. Brandy Getd NUFF love for me either way!!!

  22. Dalila

    @21 True that LOL!!

  23. leslie arnelle

    Love E. Badu so much that I don’t even have to hear a track to know that her new album is as good as bought. She’s bad like that!

  24. Katz

    Great Erykah is coming out with a newie!!!
    While I am an Erykah fan this last album was a bit of a challange for me to listen to. I could only find about four songs I like……. I hope the new one is better

    Can’t wait for Brandy’s…. I LOVED Human

  25. TBlaze

    I really want Brandy to do well. She use to be HUGE. There is no reason why she can not come back to claim her prize.

  26. PYT

    Aaw T.I. it’ll be okay plus you just had your sentence cut waaaaay down. Love Mary!

  27. Junk

    E. Badu: I’ll point-blank buy anything she makes…I don’t even have to listen to it. “Soldier” is my fav song off of her current album. I was riding with my mother a few weeks ago and that was song playing. And my mama was listening to the lyrics and summed up her feelings about the song nicely: “It sure is nice to listen to music that actually says something”.

    There’s only so many songs about booties, break-ups and clubs that a person can take.

  28. Punani Lips

    …..Brandy needs B micheal cox bad!!! But her and The dream can Make something catchy and radio friendly so we shall see”

  29. dont test me

    im not sure of their name but someone made a comment : “who are the ankh’s”
    boo do your research and dont dare disrespect something you dont know. the ankh is the egyptian symbol of life represented by the ancient god of sun Ra. im not here to give a lesson but erykah does her part in giving back to the culture, you should try doing the same!

    anyway im VERY excited about the album. im from the h and i missed her here and in austin this past spring. Hopefully she returns before the release of the album but if not ill keep listening to mamas gun and baduizm. i liked new amerykah but i dont think the world was ready for it.

    its okay because she is always gonna be doin her thang. as far as brandy. womp!
    t.i. will always be “the man”

  30. Erykah and Brandy are the best!

  31. Lawayne

    it really amazes me how ppl hate on Bran so much…she makin more money then all ya’ll on here hatin..she really doin it right now..been in da game 15 years strong and still goin…brandy’s real..ya’ll stop hatin…She’s the best now get over it..

    CANT WAIT FOR THE NEW ALBUM

  32. *~*lady_love

    Oh please stfu! Beyonce’s last CD was wack as hell and you idiots still bought it. That ish was horrible! So no Brandy does NOT need to sit down. Someone else does though.

  33. brandyfan

    I think it’s nice she’s switching it up producer wise. I can’t wait to see what Brandy is doing with this next album!!! She is going to kill the MUSIC INDUSTRY this time around!! Just Watch!!! She is definitely not washed up, ppl nowadays are so used to washed and watered down talent(i.e. Ciara, Rihanna, Cassie, Keri) that they don’t know, and can’t recognize REAL talent when it’s right in front of there eyes. They won’t miss real talent(i.e. Brandy) until all they have left is gimmick artist with no real talent, and there asking themselves where are all the talented artist who can actually SING and DANCE at!!!

    Come back and take your THRONE Brandy!!!!!!

  35. Carol

    It seems like everybody loves and worship the ground females like Beyonce, Rihanna, Ciara, and Cassie walk on, but people want to talk smack about Brandy are yaw serious all of this stuff these females are doing now Brandy has already been there and done that she don’t have to be everywhere shoving her albums down people’s throat in order for yaw to realize who the real Queen Bee is, whose the baddest, and who is the true talent of this game only one name B-rocka baby know that!!!!

  36. Jalissa

    Brandy is the best hands down the truth how many females you know can sing an entire song and use their vocals as the beat if you don’t know what I’m talking about just listen to Acapella ( Something is missing.) Amd another thing BET is tripping they should start letting Brandy perform at the awards they always got these tired females performng ( except for Alicia Keys she the truth just like Brandy) and they should let her perform either Long Distance or like I said Acapella ( Something is missing.) Show these females how it’s really done!!! Queen Bee baby!!!

  37. S.Williams

    SMH I DONT UNDERSTAND THIS WASH UP SHIT BRANDY HAS STAYED TRUE TO HER STYLE U GUYS JUST USETO PEOPLE SCREAMING AND PRANCING AROUND THE DAMN STAGE BRANDY HAS NEVER BEEN ABOUT THAT GIVE HER A MIC BY HER DAMN SELF AND THATS A SHOW…

    E.BADU PLZZZ I LOVE HER LOVE DONT GET ME WRONG BUT SHE STAY KNOCKED UP WILL THIS ALBUM SEE THE LIGHT

  38. JuS'sKe FResH

    Brandy is the truth as has been since she hopped on the scene in the early 90′s and she still going strong. All the chicks who are out here Beyonce, Rihanna, Ciara she has already done what they have and done it by being herself and not by taking off her clothes, She did it with raw talent. She paved the way for all the girls. Brandy was the first chick to be able to have a successful music career, tv, movie, and put up #1 singles and sell millions of albums. She will make a true comeback cause talent rises above everything. I hope she is able to get the recognition that she truly deserves. Do your thing BROCKA I love ya and can’t wait for the new album.

  39. cali panamami [check the eBayness...]

    love erykah! gonna check her out this weekend at the UCLA jazz/reggae fest.
    i liked her last effort. yeah it was further than her usual left of center self, but if you really listen to it, there is truth laced through every track. no wonder it got so many accolades as “album of the year” or “top 10 albums of ’08.” sista is the truth.

  40. Ummm...

    DIE HARD #1 BRANDY FAN

    WILL SUPPORT EVERY EFFORT SHE PUTS OUT B/C HER MUSIC IS JUST THAT DOPE!!!

  41. Ali Hollywood

    Brandy will always Be Down.mmmmmm

  42. 4everbrandy

    For all you true die hard Brandy fans Thank you. Brandy has been through so much in the past couple of years and it’s people like us that are going to keep her head over water. Brandy’s last album Human did not do so well due to lack of promotion. Well as you know Brandy is in the works on her 6th studio Album, which I can go ahead and tell you I have heard a few snippets and I’m telling you Brandy is about to tear the game up. THis album is going back to the Never Say Never and Full Moon Realm. Brandy is going back to her roots and bringing a new style and new vocals. You thought Brandy had Range you have not seen nothing yet just to give yo an example. Listen to One Thing on youtube by Ms. B-Rocka and just listen to the vocals on that and just think of How bad it’s going to be. Summer is what Brandy is shooting for. Not yet set in stone.
