  • @sethnet1022 Hey brother! go and eat some sperm yeah! Fucking idiot!

  • STFUU EVERYONEE!! This song is about independent women, the end. :)

  • i love dis song

  • I hope everyone realizes this song is about not needing to depend on a man for MONEY. The lyrics are "shoes on my feet, i bought it." not "child in my belly, i made it."

  • it doesnt matter if u dont like men.. because whether u ppl like it or not u cannot conceive a child without a man... so what im saying whether u get invitro or not the egg cannot be fertilized without him.. sooo either way u go u still need a man and u cant dismiss that. Bottom line its how we were created and its how nature intended it to be. Stop getting mad over how it was NATURALLY intended to be. no arguements here.

  • @Mrsethnicbeauty so?, women are the carriers of life, without them our sperm COULD NOT become a human being, so stfo

  • who else love beyonce

    Question?

  • I've watched the live version so much I forgot the second verse...

  • question?

  • that was the first video i saw from Destiny's Child back then

  • is it me or are they having tmuchfun with their fight scene

  • The top two comments destroy the message of the song. A "real" woman can take care of herself, and a "real" man should respect that.

    and if you want kids you are going to have to learn to be independent ladies, because too many guys cum and run; depending on a man is very naive.

  • @cawcaw89 AMEN to your commen, I always thought those comments were hypocritical.. especially the "real" man one.. not all men feel that way, so we MUST be independent and look after ourselves when we need to.. men can't pretend to be our heroes all the time.

  • @gatitasata *comment LOL I was so into my writing

  • @gatitasata You try to give me strife about my spelling, yet your syntax is atrocious. But I have met the requirements for "an eye for an eye", and am fulling willing to digress.

  • I know its hard to listen to music by regular ordinary people but I really need you guys help to get my name out there. Even though no one will

    probably read or like this I believe at least one person

    will see it. It would mean a lot if you can check my channel I know we all have dreams and my dream can only come true

    with the help of you guys. If you can like this it would really help.

    If I get 40 likes everyone would notice my message. Thank you. youtube.com/watch?v=X0PHN6avOp­o

  • the two top comments made me sick! srsly... "if you want kids you are going to have to be dependent on a man." - in that case i prefer in vitro or not havin kids at all!

  • is it jjust me or can u NOT see the dislike bar?

  • Question...

  • Oh myyy GOD!!! All these years of listening to this song and owning the CD I finally Found out that they were naming the girls from Destiny's Child........smh

  • @AngelPaola31 lolz

  • @AngelPaola31 i'm lost. could you explain what you're talking about please?

  • Listening to this song in year whatever!!!

  • @sethnet1022 really?! why did you remove your comment then? if you're just making an example, do it right! also, i was simply making a statement by typing my comment.

  • Comment removed

  • Farrah Franklin the ex member of this group created 71 Accounts and dislike this video

  • Question.?

  • I love this song and also the movie!!!

  • i love this and all the destiny's childs songs been listening to beyonce every since she start singing

  • Question

  • You have no idea how much I loved this song when I was 5.... well this and Hit Me Baby One More Time :)

  • i've never been a diehard fan of DC or B but this is an awesome song. everybody, men, women or inbetween should hear this from when they're young and have assignments in school based on this.

  • This song is Timeless!! I freaking love it :)

    - I depend on meeeeee!!! <3

  • My Alarm In The Morning 3:54 Haha MY NAME IS CHARLIE

  • I remember hearing this on the proud family :D

  • is it too early to be nostlagic?

  • Can't believe this came out 12 years ago! :)

    Still great to listen to now!!

  • Sigh. They don't make songs like they used to. :( 

  • @rankingtrevor you fucking neglective piece off ass. you deleted your comment because you got showed down brudah

  • @rankingtrevor Oh really? And how do you rationalize this absurd statement? I'm pretty sure I pay my own way through life without any help from anyone....and always will. It is such a shame that useless morons like you are allowed not only to populate the planet, but also to pollute the internet with their asinine thoughts.

  • @rankingtrevor Yeah right, no such thing as smart men.

  • @rankingtrevor You're a retard dude, there's independent women every fucking where, that's coming from a sexist pig I'm sure

  • @rankingtrevor im sure everyone can see you are a controlling, sexest, typical man

  • @rankingtrevor You are clearly a complete retard. It would be a miracle for you, but a disaster for the human race, if you could EVER convince any woman to "bear your children". In the interest of preserving the quality of our species gene pool, I truly hope this never happens. 

  • @rankingtrevor two words that describe you: sexist pig

  • @rankingtrevor and your job is to kiss my ass, ho!

  • much prefer these girls as charles angles ;)

  • @gatitasata yeah,like that's true :-/

  • @sarvamithraJr you're gonna tell me otherwise? sure, anyway it is twat.

  • This song is the number one reason women are the way they are today and treat dudes like crap.

  • @jkiddballaboy5 Exactly.

  • @rankingtrevor I am embarrassed for you.  Your glaring stupidity saddens me. Please stop exposing it to the world.

  • Comment removed

  • A real woman can take care of herself, but a real man makes it so she doesn't have to.

  • @ArtTechLaw

    How the f*** does that make sense? A real man wouldn't act like an arrogant ass and think he is all what she needs to "survive".

  • @ArtTechLaw...LIKE HELL Y WE CANT JUST TAKE CARE OF OURSELVES (MEANING U GOT U I GOT ME) AND GET WHAT WE WANT 4RM EACHOTHER.

  • @ArtTechLaw

    No, a real man loves, provides and protects. :) Love. :)

  • @ArtTechLaw The real woman should also take care of her man too. Cos otherwise she's just a lazy bitch.

  • are u in the modern or traditional way dear? 50 50 in a relationship....

  • i'm a man and this song is my jam

  • i farted

  • @sankarisami ME TOO!!! LOL

  • I know that most men are p*ss** that can't handle beautiful independent women!

  • be careful. It's cool to take care of yourself. But independent women often let guys come into their lives that won't take care of any kids, or be a good partner that way. If you want kids you are going to have to be dependent on a man. Yeah there are single mothers but that's not cool. Too many mothers bear too much of the burden.

  • @kylemin3 I agree,

    My ex left me on Friday just gone; we have a one year old son =/

  • @kylemin3 listen gr78 message but im not here for the lecture

  • @kylemin3 You've just ruined this song for me.

  • Farrah Franklin sang the first "I depend on me." Had she been in this video and stayed in the group, she could have been an icon by now. Idiot.

  • THE WATCH I'M WEARING "I FARTED" THE CAR I'M DRIVING "I FARTED"  THE HOUSE I LIVE IN "I FARTED" THE WATCH I'M WEARING "I FARTED" HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!! WHEN THE "I BOUGHT IT" PART COMES ON REPLACE IT WITH "I FARTED" AND IT WILL SOUND SOOO MUCH LIKE IT.

  • this was number one on the charts when i was born ;-;

  • I love this song and still have the cd. Anyway, I would love to see the original line-up get back together for a reunion album/tour, including Michelle. Maybe someday.

  • after realising it sounds like 'throw your hands up batman', the song has never been the same

  • It sounds like they're saying I FARTED! Haha.

  • need more view

  • Seriously, I cant believe this music video is from 2000. I mean, look at the graphics. Why MV nowadays can't be that good. Most MV nowadays are mostly black and white. No excitement to see. DAMN!

  • howrandom404 ur right, but now the song will never be the same 2 me. It'll be funnier

  • i keep remember them

  • old song lol

  • The shoes on my feet--I cobbled

    The clothes I'm wearing--I tailored

    The rock I'm rockin'--I cut it

    Cause I do arts and crafts--when I want it

    The watch I'm wearing--I cogged it

    The house I live in--I built it

    The car I'm driving--I welded

    Cause I do arts and crafts!

  • the best group forever! :)

  • i love Michelle<3

  • My childhood. <3 

  • who run the world? independent women ;)

  • @gatitasata Keep telling yourself that.

  • @sethnet1022 Oh for sure, because it's true, no matter how much men try to bring us down it's useless to attack women when you can't do a single thing without us, so thanks I will.

  • @gatitasata Just because we need your help doesn't mean you run the show. A master can't run a mine without underlings afterall.

  • @sethnet1022 "Just" because you need our help? of course, pretty much on everything outside of taking a dump. why does it get you so much? can't stand to think it's a fact? pff, so predictable men could but not women huh?.. wow.

  • @gatitasata So you are saying that men are dependent on women, yet women aren't dependent on men? You are a proverbial pot calling kettle black.

    My arguement was only based on the fact that what you stated was false. Men are predominantly in power when it comes to "(running) the world". I never said that this is how it should be, I simply said that this is how it is. My comment was an objective statement of your naivety, nothing more.

  • @sethnet1022 Of course I am, women can do all the basic things because we've always taken care of that, men can't therefore you are dependant of us when it comes to taking care of the basic needs. Women can easily work, cook for themselves, do their own laundry most men can't when they can it's because A WOMAN thought them how. You're saying I am naive but only because it's hard for close minded men to accept women have a huge role in society, deal with it & save your "arguements"

  • @gatitasata You're being naive, sexist and hypocritical. My arguement is from a balanced perspective; and I've already said men and women need each other. There isn't anything that I have to "deal with". However, you might have to come to terms with your anger and frustration, and I wish you well with that.

  • Comment removed

  • @sethnet1022 Plus, the word is "argument" sir, a studied woman is begging you to be instructed before truly calling yourself a smart man, worth arguing with. Especially before you dare to post something criticizing my highly voted post and before bragging about all that research you have done on women and men.

    "ARGUEMENT : Frequent (?) mispelling of argument.

    At best it's an 'arguement ' from IGNORANCE" now, I wish you well with THAT.

  • @gatitasata LOL score, when are we gonna learn? nah, never right? as far as I can see

  • @gatitasata I admit my spell was incorrect, and am thankful that you corrected me. Now, what does your attempt at diminishing me have to do with the argument?

  • Comment removed

  • @sethnet1022 LOL what the hell is arguement ? before you start any ARGUMENT with a lady start thinking about your own mother, we men can be such sexist fuckers n' instead of dealing with the fact that gals have gained much power on fields that were dominated by men we diss & contradict them, try to make them look like "sexist" people You probably had an elementary school teacher who was a woman (as far as I can see nothing stuck..) Women are our mentors in all the basic stages of life, period.

  • @hangukboy87 I thought I made myself clear that I believe both genders are to be respected.

    Sexism is not solely situtated within the male gender.

    I've already stated that men are currently the dominant power in the sexual struggle - even though evidence dictates it wasn't always so - and that I neither hold the belief that this is how it should be or shouldn't be.

  • @sethnet1022 NO you did not Mr arguement, your very first comment targeted to the lady here was: "keep telling yourself that" wasn't it? THEN how fucking hypocritical you have to be to tell me that you think both sexes are to be respected when you clearly DID NOT respect HER comment, which happens to be quite true. It's obvious you did not like the idea of her saying that women can & ARE independent so you had to throw your useless and sarcastic 5 cents into this, huh? YOU ARE SO FULL OF SHIT.

  • @hangukboy87 Your passion is commendable (it's almost as if we're having a discussion on the ecclesiastical) but it's entirely unwarranted. I do respect women and men, I simply didn't respect the person who depicted the naivety that woman currently "rule the world". I do believe woman can be independent, I witness evidence of this every day.

  • @sethnet1022 If they are independent they can RULE the world, they're smart enough, a good example are Queens, they run a nation and it's very rare for Kings these days to rule alone, take for example the Queen mother of England, you twat. Stop acting like an educated know it all. It's clear you try to keep me from responding by throwing all those buzzwords. Just speak plain and simple, you can quite easily say YOU ARE A HYPOCRITICAL DICK, her comment does not state they ALL "currently" run it.

  • @hangukboy87 So please, the next time you feel like idly spouting your anger due to whatever mindless insecurity you're currently harboring, please direct it towards the nearest inanimate object; for if you were to direct it towards me it will fall on deaf ears.

  • @sethnet1022 Yet it's clear she did quote BEYONCE herself, it's a connection between her song and this from her former group, if your illiterate ass can not understand such easy and obvious link between the lines of her comment you have completely lost my attention. I think after "arguement" I cannot take you seriously. So, now you go and work on your chauvinist self, try to understand that "women" "world" and " to rule" can GO together pretty well, whether it's a fact or not.

  • @sethnet1022 By the way I laugh at your attempt to sound like an educated person, when you failed at the easiest of words haha, good one, same old cheap trick, but it won't keep me from speaking my mouth (or fingers for that matter) so spare using any more online dictionaries dude.

  • @gatitasata Yeah, women are starting to win dudes over little by little, a thinking force instead of an irrational one.

  • To Me It Doesnt Matter Who They Put Beyonce With, Shell Always Stand Out!!! People are always like "oh it was just beyonce and her back up singers" i mean yeah she did get way more mic time but cmon she was the only one fit to lead that group. and daddy knowles prolly shaded the other girls to shine on beyonce but like i said Leadership came natural to her...precisely why shes tha baddest chick and most relevant chick in the game today and has been since Aaliyahs passing(R.I.P)

  • @MMnQL12 beyonce is dominant, cause her dad is the one who own the record. She is the original singer, the others only recruit to give her something called "group".

    But seriously, I prefer Beyonce as destiny's child to being solo.

  • @011azr I completely agree with you. When she was in DC, I liked her a lot. Now I can't stand her and I don't even know why. On the flipside, I love Kelly solo.

  • Did they ever make a part 2 ?

  • @treCartmanday Yes they made a song called Independent Women part 2. You can find it if you search for it. It was going to be the original Independent Women but their record label didn't like it so they changed it. It's basically just harder than this version. I'm not sure if they made a video for it though.

  • its three on one of corse the three is gonna win

  • super

  • Never like before

  • soo much better than part 2

  • I want to know what happened to the other parts of Independent women, since this is part I

  • @Zombieflareon part II was another song on the Survivor album ;)

  • Ladies it ain't easy to be independet! But ladies if you need to be a mama you need a man :P we are independet but not that independet.. Get me:)

  • @FlyWithTheTime At least you have common sense id like to see these independent women make it on thier own with a kid and a job.

  • @zenerdo My mum looks after me and my brother on her own as well as form and run her own law business, and she's been looking after me and my brother on her own for the last 12 years, with her business starting about 5 or 6 years ago. Trust me, women can be independent in all kinds of circumstances. And I respect my mum for that.

  • @040wATTcLUb Oh yeah I can believe that its just most people speaking like that are unable to do it on their own

  • @zenerdo Really? I'm suprised at that, considering I know plenty of women in similar circumstances to my mum that function well without a man. In my experience, there isn't any correlation between relationship status and family well-being. I know of no women that make claims like Destiny's Child that they are happy without a man when they actually refuse to be without one, because it takes self-respect and independence to get to that mindset in the first place.

  • @zenerdo ive seen it.

  • lmao glad to see others heard throw your hand up batman!

  • this is declaring independance from men!

  • @missourll AMENN!!!

    

  • All the women constipated!

  • why do men act like we need them to support us and shit truth is they can step back and watch me make it on my own!!!!! Who's with me ladies?

  • @missouril

    I'm a guy and I witchu!

  • @missouril The truth is that both sexis needs to support one another. Better face it. And I say that with all respect to the ladies.

  • @Hacsaturjan i completely agree with u but what shes saying is that some men can be chauvinist toward their women believing that they cannot support themselves on their own. which they can. :)

  • @missouril shit i heard that girl

  • @missouril Because stereotypes give you the impression that we think this way.

  • I LOVE THIS SONG <3<3<3<3<3<3 I LOVE DESTINY'S CHILD!!!!

  • I'm so grateful for Destiny's Child and Beyoncé. I hope they will continue their music, especially their old songs like this.

  • i know they did it first but i still feal like elbow do it better.

  • hell ya

  • Is it me or does the key change around 3:14

  • HAHAHA, typical hoes, when you cant win an argument with logic and facts, you resort to name calling and personal attacks. Oh you are independent alright.

  • @TheLamelyNamed Hoes? you "sir" need to remember you got a mother, asswipe.

  • @thugz00 I completely agree with you, with are a complement for each other...but this song is about how a girl nowadays can say she doesn't need a man to buy her stuff or that she depends on someone else to take care of herself.

  • @Nediam20 My boyfriend takes care of me in the way that he calls and checks for me but also and he lets me do what I want with my job and studies, and it feels amazing when I'm also able to invite him to have dinner, or when he actually prepares dinner for me.

  • @Nediam20 In times before men used to criticize women and called them uncapable to sustain a house, but now is shown that we can. We don't need your money anymore, that's the point, and not because we want to be "the man" of the house, but because just like you can wash the dishes too, we can be the boss in our jobs.

  • @Nediam20 Of course I will never be able to lift more than 80lb or defend myself from another person physically stronger than me, trying to rob or assault me, of course we girls cry more and we run to our man's arms, we will always have the messed up hormones...that's why we're a complement. And at least my man is happy that she's with a smart girl and he looks for me when he needs advice or help just like I do it with him.

  • @Nediam20 Beyonce is no against all men in this world...she's against men wich EGO doesn't allow them to see how smart and awesome they're girl is...and they're lack of confidence tells them that because they earn less money they're less men. She's against those men who still insults, ignores or even is violent with their women. Maybe you haven't heard her other songs, like halo, sweet dreams, flaws and all, brokenhearted...where she also talks about how loving and fragile we can be.

  • @thugz00 a woman should be financially independent from her husband/boyfriend/lover. end of story :). and there is no such thing as a black woman, white woman, yellow with dots woman. All women should be able to look after themselves in all aspects of life. However I respect you opinion and good luck in finding women who still think as you do.

  • kelly has improved her voice! her voice is so much better now on what love takes over

  • @zacefronmaniaka "when" love takes over

  • I don't get why people complain about Beyonce.At least Kelly is still out there!Everybody act's like Beyonce's taking over the freaking world

  • The LamelyNamed - never has a name been so well suited.Dressing like sluts etc, ranting on about how we need to reproduce- women are better off without men like you

  • all black women are special n there own ..n there black women got money need to say no more,,,:)

  • @paradice1luv I understand what ur getting at.......Work more on the english language and the proper usage. K

  • I don't get why girls get so desperate over guys today.They're the ones courting guys now when it's supposed to be the other way around.ALL THE GIRLS OUT THERE SHOULD RESPECT THEMSELVES.Take my advice cause believe me,losing your dignity will also mean losing yourself.I am by no means insulting women out there,but I don't want women to end up losing themselves.Women aren't as pathetic as they seem, and one thing a woman wants more than anything is to know that they are someone WORTH WAITING FOR.

  • my mum mention once that 'i bought it' sounds like 'i farted'... the song has never been the same haha it's all i hear

  • @howrandom404

    Thanks for permanently ruining this song for me now, lol!

    I farted :(

  • @howrandom404 u just ruined this song! lol

  • @howrandom404 Haha. I thought about your comment and now that's all I'm gonna hear whenever I listen to this song. Hehe. You're funny dude. XD

  • @howrandom404 you have ruined it XD LMFAO

  • Question!

  • MEANEST D3 SONG EVER...THIS AND SURVIVOR!!!!!!

  • They were an amazing group!
