About

Mama's Gun is Erykah Badu's second studio album. Released on November 21, 2000 the album received mainly excellent reviews. Cleva, Didn't Cha Know were released as album singles along with Bag Lady which received highest reviews and led to Grammy Award nomination. Like everyone else, we first fell in love with Erykah Badu on her 1997 debut single, On & On “On & On.” But it was her 2000 sophomore studio album, Mama’s Gun—creatively restless, stylistically adventurous, lyrically direct—that made us stay in love. The screaming live-band funk of opener “ Penitentiary Philosophy” tells you right away you shouldn’t settle in expecting a rehash of her debut’s smooth R&B. And while a remix of “Bag Lady” was its biggest single, we’ll never get over album closer “ Green Eyes,” a wrenching, ravishing song suite narrating the end of a relationship.
