Another excellent album via Miss Erykah. Lyrics are fantastic, track three sounds like a warm summer day with the windows down and the music turned up. I definately recommend it to anyone who loves and seeks good music.

Bangin' It Right Now

Erykah Badu has got a certified hit on her hands in "Worldwide Underground". Put it in your deck, push play, and prepare for one helluva funky, soulful, hip hop ride. From intro to outro, Badu brings it. This EP, in my opinion, rivals if... not surpasses her previous work. Yeah that's right, even "Baduizm". You should have picked it up Tuesday when it dropped. A must bang EP! Read more Less

A Journey Into the Undergorund

Pros: An Engaging, Free-Flowing Followup to "Mama's Gun"

Cons: A bit unfocused, lacking cohesion

"Worldwide Underground" is an intriguing, fascinating mess of a record. Delayed for at least a year, it lacks some of the cohesion and focus of Erykah Badu's last two studio albums, particularly 2000's "Mama's Gun," an... underrated classic that literally turned the whole boho soul genre upside down on its head. Badu hasn't made lightning strike again on "Worldwide Underground," but there are some solid touches that are worth a listen. The free-flowing groove of "Back in the Day," the catchy and memorable "Danger," the playful "Love of My Life (with Queen Latifah and Angie Stone)," as well as "Bump" pass along nicely and all invite repeat listens. They're all good slices of the laid back soul we've come to expect, but the EP, as a whole, is as unstructured as Badu's afro wig. And not everything holds together, especially "I Want You." That song has an interesting hook, but when stretched over 10 minutes in length, it overstays its welcome way too soon. Warts and all, I like and recommend "Worldwide Underground." Did she record another "Tyrone" or "On & On?" Nope. Did she release a flawed yet solid EP? Yes. This is one of those records that may throw you in for a loop on the first listen, but it will ultimately grow on you. Grade: B. Read more Less

Back in the day, now.

Pros: One big groove, the whole way through!

Cons: It's over before you know it!

Another Badu classic!!!This album is so smooth and mellow. Every track has a nice groove and a funky beat to it. My only gripe is, the album brings you to a boil and just when you're about to boil over...the heat is gone! It just feels too short!... But longevity (or lack thereof) be damned, this is a great album! Read more Less
