Mama's Gun - Erykah Badu
Mama's Gun Image
Score distribution:
  1. Positive: 13 out of 16
  2. Negative: 0 out of 16
  1. She scores over and over on 14-tracks-in-72-minutes that miss maybe twice and only seem long-winded when she gives the flautist some.
  2. It's everything we say we want in music: gutsy, introspective, innovative, bold, real in a way that few other albums even try to be...
  3. The songs on Mama's Gun slip from one to the next effortlessly, coming together as a set of sedate, buttery-smooth grooves.

  3. A freaking genius album that put Erykah on the map for me, and to this day remains a default go to record when I can't decide what to listen to, because I can listen to it in nearly any circumstance or mood. She hits political without getting preachy, and emotional without losing the sexy. Expand
