Mama's Gun

Product Information

The writing on here is a fantastic blend of sensuality, introspectiveness, and humor. You get songs like "Orange Moon" and "In Love With You" that see Erykah create some extremely romantic songs, with a great use of metaphors in the case of "Orange Moon", which are only further helped by Erykah's beautiful vocals. You get songs like "Cleva" and "Penitentiary Philosophy" that see Erykah try and fight all the negatives of the world, whether that be society pushing someone to snap thanks to the evils of the world, or trying to combat the standards around something like someone's attire. And you also have songs like "Bag Lady" and the ten minute album closer "Green Eyes" that deal with trying to move on from a certain point in life, whether that involves a breakup or your past and the demons that haunt it. You also have songs like "Didn't Cha Know" that just absolutely rule and are insanely fun to listen to in general. Japanese album certifications – Erykah Badu – Mama's Gun" (in Japanese).

I also really started to know what I wanted Billy Idol to be. It took me a little bit, but I kind of knew what I wanted Billy Idol to be. And even that took a while to let it marinate.

And it clearly wasn't just me who took the ride – you can sense Badu's influence spurring on Janelle Monáe, Ledisi and, perhaps less subtly, the five-piece London soul band Mama's Gun.

Erykah Badu: The First Lady Of Neo-Soul. SMT Publishing. p.208. ISBN 978-0857124494.In contrast to Baduizm, Mama’s Gun offers a more pointed, sustained, and grounded statement about what it means to get tired of waiting out and wading through the wretchedness of urban blight, the perpetual threat of police brutality and lethal force, the baggage from bad relationships and the sometimes oppressive voices inside one’s own head. It was a bit of a feminist anthem in a weird way. It was all about how relationships can free you and add a lot to your life. It was a cry of love, nothing to do with the Civil War or anything like that. Perri was a big part of my life, a big part of being Billy Idol. I wanted to write about it. I'm glad that's the effect.
