  • Somali Ninga

    “Transhumanism is an international intellectual and cultural movement supporting the use of science and technology to improve human mental and physical characteristics and capacities. The movement regards aspects of the human condition, such as disability, suffering, disease, aging, and involuntary death as unnecessary and undesirable. Transhumanists look to biotechnologies and other emerging technologies for these purposes. Dangers, as well as benefits, are also of concern to the transhumanist movement.

    The term “transhumanism” is symbolized by H+ or h+ and is often used as a synonym for “human enhancement”. Although the first known use of the term dates from 1957, the contemporary meaning is a product of the 1980s when futurists in the United States began to organize what has since grown into the transhumanist movement. Transhumanist thinkers predict that human beings may eventually be able to transform themselves into beings with such greatly expanded abilities as to merit the label “posthuman”. Transhumanism is therefore sometimes referred to as “posthumanism” or a form of transformational activism influenced by posthumanist ideals.

    The transhumanist vision of a transformed future humanity has attracted many supporters and detractors from a wide range of perspectives. Transhumanism has been described by one critic, Francis Fukuyama, as the world’s most dangerous idea,while one proponent, Ronald Bailey, counters that it is the “movement that epitomizes the most daring, courageous, imaginative, and idealistic aspirations of humanity”.

    you people with the illuminati crap…already..really sad..people add fuel to the wrong types of fire…understand thath there are symbol everywhere…however..it is the devils work to have those “haters” (I to use that) pay attention to the wrong ones in order for you to miss the right ones…goodbye…for now.

  • That B can Sang!!

    I welcome real talent…
    they say the ahnk represents the balance if life…eternally..cant wait to cop!!

  • Somali Ninga

    @ dival
    wake the hell up! The Illuminati is EVERYWHERE in the music industry and politics! Do some research!

  • Mrs. Sophisticate

    @ Somali Ninga

    You’re right her last album was garbage and I think that is when she made the switch to that illuminati, I’m not 100% positive but it sure does seem like it and it’s a shame because she is real talented to.

  • WhatAWorld

    If this album sounds anything like that trash she put out last time.She can take this CD and throw it in NYC traffic.My ears are still burning.

    Anywho..Somali is on the money today!

  • eveilyn

    symbol of medicine or good heatlh
    (LIFE)

  • ALWAYS WITH ALWAYS 4 U

    Her voice hurts my ears. Mary J, Sade and Monica have beautiful voices.

  • lt

    I have to hear the whole disc before i buy it. she lost her cred with me.

  • Don’tGiveAWhat

    @ Mock Rock Star

    “ok I’ve liked like 2 of her songs, but for the most part I just want to punch her in the face.”

    While we don’t share opinions, I am forced to admit that that bit of candid honest was super-funny… That’s about how I feel about Solange Knowles.

    (I have a friend who’s been a die-hard Outkast fan since 1995 or so… and she DESPISES Erykah for, (and I quote) “what she did to Andre”… LOL

    **tips hat**

  • Racquel

    WOOOHOOOO I looooove Erykah Badu she is one of the best in the game, I sure hope this album is even better than her last!

  • HBG WordDiva
  • DreTruth

    funnae sh it = I like er badu I listen to her last album everyday but she is too out there. I don’t understand it at all.

  • Call Tyrone

    Yes she does have a vodoo vag…..look what she did to ANDre 3000 and Common, but I love here still!

  • Bleh

    @ Somali Ninga So WTF are you going to do about the Illuminati? Go on blogs and talk about it? Put up or shut up damn.

  • Dilla

    Not this ish again! What the hell is she smoking?

  • Honeyb

    I love Erykah Badu-I REALLY DO! But I’m not sure what I just listened to. Was that the album intro or what. Her last cd missed me with all those psychodelic sounds all over the place. This track sounds real similar. If that is what I have to look forward to, I’ll wait and sample all of the tracks on iTunes after it comes out. While she is “Returning to the Ankh,” I would really appreciate it if she “Returned to the REAL singing!”

  • It’s Me

    She is weird..

  • me

    There was a time when she couldn’t go wrong in my opinion…I wasn’t impressed with the last album.Everything before her last cd was absolutely awesome!

  • Maevelove

    Most albums that are distributed through a mainstream record label have some kind of symbolism on it. The cover of MJ’s album for Dangerous was like this too. I was excited to hear a new Madlib track, so thumbs up for that, Badu. I hear 9th Wonder also worked on the album and I’m sure it’s going to be worth listening to overall.

  • Ahem!!

    That should be, just take out the s.p.a.c.e.s in the link.

  • always knew

    I liked her better before..

  • real black is chocolate

    i love her nusic

  • IceBerg

    Yeah, she is definitely on some other ish. But I’m not totally sure if she’s on the illuminati stuff because if you listen to the introduction and “The Healer” on her last album, she talks about people being programmed and how we need to wake up and stuff like that, it’s pretty deep.

  • the sane one

    honestly, erykah badu is just ok. i mean, what does she really do on this track? she is also not a great singer. I have seen her live and I do believe she is an all around good performer. who has great songs with great production…but she aint all that

  • Milly

    @ Knowledge773, you hit it right on the target. I actually like the flow of this track “Strawberry Incense” but when that guy starts quoting something in (what sounds like Hebrewic language) in the background while she is singing, it makes you wonder. They could have translated it, but then you would know exactly what he is saying and I don’t think that was the intention of the artist to do that. They could be speaking some sort of satanic ritual over people and you would never know.

  • Gimmeabreak78

    @Somali:

    This one’s for you.

    I had Cheerios for breakfast this morning.

    Did you know those toasted circles of goodness were really subliminal messages from the Illuminati symbolizing the pits of hell?

    Carry on.

  • memchee

    took her 4evah & a day already!!

    luv erykah, will definitely grab a copy.

  • Gimmeabreak78

    @Somali

    Why are you so sensitive all of a sudden? It was just a joke.

    Besides, I’ve already lined all my hats with aluminum foil so the Illuminati can’t read my mind.

  • Somali Ninga

    @ Gimmeabreak78
    LOL!!! XD I’m being sensitive, I’m being real! The Illuminati is real and you know it!
    WAKE UP SHEEPLE

  • Kensington

    You illuminati theorists have no idea how ignorant, uneducated and pathetic you sound. I mean, at least spell check these ridiculous comments.

  • mariaghg44

    Who cares!!! My boyfriend thinks the same with me. He- is eight years older than me, lol. We met online at an age gap dating site- A_ge_m_in_g l e @ c//o//m a nice and free place for Younger- Women and Older Men, or Older Women and Younger Men, to interact with each other. Maybe you wanna check out or- tell your friends.

    The Illuminati invented spell check to make us all conform.

  • 8ESBABY

    I bout fell asleep in the beginning…felt like I was listening to a Sleep Sound CD! LOL I like it though! EB fan FOR LIFE!! TEXAS STAND UP!!

  • dismymoney

    And if we do wake up and see this Illuminati all around, what is your plan, Somali Ninga? You remind me of the Black leaders of today. You point stuff out, make noise, but never have a solution.

    WHAT IS IT?

  • http://nellybelly25@yahoo.com Nellybelly

    Yep somali is right!! Also the pyramid in dead center of her necklace!! Erykah has always been this way, and her music is a reflection of it. The egyptian cross that she wears with the circle on top actually means 360 degrees that God is man and women!!

  • GTRUTH33

    LOVE HER….CAN’T WAIT TO GET THE ALBUM…. ERYKAH ALWAYS IN HER OWN LANE-CAN’T NOBODY F**K WITH HER.

  • nodo2200

    I love this music and I am going to definitely buy her CD. It is about time we get some actual music for a change.

  • ikeepit100!

  • P

    some of you people are so shallow. you guys dont have a clue. A freaking CLUE!!!!!1Badu is the BoMb. One Pisces to another. Some of ya’ll just too slow to understand her.

  • Sistaorganics

    The Return of the Goddess! is Upon us.. and Great Mother Creator is PISSED ASHE to all my conscious Sistar! Step into your POWER WE GOT THIS.

    Ankh POWER

  • Sistaorganics

    Learn your own history and stop reading this Bibical Man Made crap. We are the owners of this thing here and everyday you give it away to someonelse and you wonder why it dont work in your favor.Take Your Place caseu this thing is about to be Set Off!

    Hotep!!!!

    But you know what let me be quite… The TRUTH is not for everybody, and some must be ASLEEP so that the WORK CAN BE DONE” .

  • juliemango

    Her music sounds like something to do with mental health and balancin the mind!!!

  • Sistaorganics

    @ juliemango .. your on POINT. Balancing the mind to open/awaken the conscious that has been locked for far too long by the false prophets, gods and idols.

  • Annick

    Erykah is amazing! She’s been on this ancient kemetic symbolism even before the start of her career and a mainstream artist. Just because you give thanks to the sun or rock and ankh necklace or an eye of horus charm dont make you an illuminati follower! This is one creative chick! If she was a part of that mastermind brainwashing scheme then her last album would’ve been triple platinum. Did you know that her last album was created using Garage Band? And if you listen closely to the lyrics – she speaking out against those entities that brainwash our youth. SMH – you guys are dense!

  • black rose

    Some people really need to do their research before they spread incorrect information. Some people get a little knowledge and think they know it all. Please do your research and absorb the information before typing sh!t.

  • Megafly

    This sista can’t be trusted to some out with a good album or even a good concert. She seems so depressed.

  • funny gal

    Well upon first look, in occult tarot terms, it looks like an interpretation of the Devil card, but a closer look it’s more The High Priestess which makes more sense…and fits her

  • Michelle

    I agree with Somali Ninga and Knowledge 773- I use to love Erykah but she’s gotten too deep into that occult mess. And it’s funny people call us illuminati theorist when a lot of this stuff is going on is talked about in the Bible. The illuminati is real, whether people want to admit it or not. And some of you are who are professed Christians should be ashamed of yourself. Makes me wonder about you, and how too concerned you are about things of this world. It’s really scary.

  • Michelle

    Annik- What you said really didn’t make any sense. And why the heck would you give thanks to those things?! 2 Timothy 3:1-7

  • Michelle

    Her music doesn’t even make any sense anymore…but yet if you listen to On and On she was into that occult ish back then. It’s a dang shame. Talent gone to waste. Seeking worldly knowledge that will only lead to destruction. God Bless yall

    If you only knew what’s coming… and the allegiances that the music industry, and hollywood have made. This song is, as so many other are… secretly about devil worship you don’t believe this… Because you do not…understand! (I am at peace whether you do or don’t this is just a warning) This is not about, opinions, or believing, it’s about knowing! Knowing that Truth is stranger than fiction… You may not believe/know that people sell their souls… You may not believe/know that there are non human forces at work in the world that do not play by the rules of men or God, and that these forces seek your very souls. That these forces have been around since the fall, you may not even believe/know there was a fall. Well that does not change the facts… that does not! Change the truth that has been so carefully hidden, that all the average human has left is the sugar coated topping of a false reality. This can be understood… there is a path to understanding your enemy as Tsun Tsu stated in The Art of War. However, many don’t acknowledge an enemy, or cannot see his application, his hand in the affairs of man… in the real world. The time will come when all will realize the chess game that is being played on mankind, for some it will be check mate. For some they will ally themselves with the real king. This is not about religion once you know the truth, the role of religion becomes crystal clear. Seek truth, not religion, then have the audacity to doubt… then search… search… and re-search then you will find that real eyes, realize, real lies… Godspeed in your quest… if you dare.

    PS. This… is bigger than you, or me, respect your human limitations and vulnerabilities and realize that they have been exploited. Transhumanisim is nothing more than 666 man trying to be perfect. The number for man is 6 the and 3 reps the trinity 666 and transhumnaism is man being his own trinity seeking eternal life without God. The rumor is that we can become a God knowing it all, well a little while ago humans were sure the world was flat, fact is…we are steeped in ignorance once you realize this, then doubt starts to seep in, this doubt is the beginning of your quest for the truth. Be humble be prayerful be dilligent in your search and I promise you what you will learn will shake you to your core ! My prayer is that all could know but many will not…
