Albums You Didn't Like When They Dropped, But Changed Your Mind Years Later

Erykah Badu- "Baduism"

I remember the video she had for "On And On" was a buzzclip on MTV (1997) and they used to play it over and over, it drove me crazy.  I couldn't understand what all the buzz was about Erykah Badu.  I totally didn't get it.  The song sounded so boring, I couldn't even understand why it was a single.  The song was so slow, and she sounded like she was going to fall asleep singing it; I hated her voice.  Then she came out with other singles after that, and I was even less impressed with those songs. 


Now, recently I gave it another chance, and I love that album.  I understand what she is talking about in her music, and I can see the depth of her insight into relationships ("Next Lifetime"), world polotics ("Drama") and knowledge of self ("On and On").  But in 1997 it sounded totally foriegn to me.

Pretty much any of the major East Coast albums released in the mid-90s'..."Illmatic", "Ready to Die", "The Infamous", "Reasonable Doubt", etc.  Back then, I pretty much refused to listen to anything from outside of Cali, the only exceptions being Bone Thugs and the Geto Boys.  I took the East-West beef a little too seriously.
