Mama's Gun is the second studio album by American neo soul singer Erykah Badu.
 It was recorded between 1999 and 2000 at Electric Lady Studios in New York and released on November 21, 2000, by Motown Records.
 A neo soul album, "Mama's Gun" incorporates funk, soul, and jazz styles.
 It has confessional lyrics by Badu, which cover themes of insecurity, social issues and personal relationships.
 The album has been viewed by critics as a female companion to neo soul artist D'Angelo's second album "Voodoo" (2000), which features a similar musical style and direction.
 Critics have also noted that while "Baduizm" contained its share of cryptic lyricism, "Mama's Gun" is much more direct in its approach, and places the artist in a subjective position more than its predecessor.
