[playmaker88]

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

It cures insomnia, boring and repetitive lyrics and beats....

 

[duckmanpig]

from how you reviewed it sounds disappointing as pt1 was awsome i mi ght get it later in da week

 

[dontdiedontkillanyon]

Was listening to it earlier. Kinda just drifted over my head, a bit forgettable really. I need to give it another listen tomorrow

 

[haute]

I'm a little underwhelmed too

but I've only listened to it once

I feel like a couple of the tracks are growers

 

[t. webb]

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..

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

 

[buttuh_b]

Fuck what yall talking bout, this shit is raw. And I can already tell when I light the bud the shit is really really gon be it.

Wow. Pt. 1 was funky. Maybe I'm just a stan.. IDK. But it definitely has a different vibe.

 

[Super Lex]

I'm very disappointed in the album because Pt 1 was the shit. 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".

 

[REAL_POETICAL]

Wow. Pt. 1 was funky. Maybe I'm just a stan.. IDK. But it definitely has a different vibe.

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.

 

[wilijamesme2]

[marie addams]

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.

 

[real_hh_rep]

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.
