    Awesome Music

    Peace Big Ken {Chicago}

  • There are 67 people that think Waka Floka is the best rapper ever

  • The absolute GREATEST remix of a hit song in concert-form, that I EVER have heard....I remember seeing this on the humble many years ago, and: decided to look it up again, just because it moved me, SO.

    Jill Scott.

    BOW DOWN, suckas........................­..........

  • @joeeregulah this was not a remix...Jill was the original person to sing this song with the Roots. She had gotten her record deal and was touring when they wanted to record it so they got Erykah Badu to sing it for the radio version.

  • @mycsmom I appreciate the knowledge, love; and, I know the history of the track, and what happened when it came to time to show and prove.

    The reason that I call it a "remix" isn't necessarily because Jill is on it, and Erykah isn't; it's because of the arrangement and the excess lyrics, which aren't present in the first arrangement or the Erykah-mix either, you feel me...??

    But, either way: DOPE footage, to be exact. Philly Jilly did her thing, no question...

  • what other rap atrist/band can make this kind of sound? none!!

  • AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    

  • Omg!!! I love it!!!!

    Tammy

  • Yes Jill, love the way you make it your own!

  • There was nothing else for her to do but drop the damn mic. She killed it and it there is no hope for resuscitation.

  • MASSIVE. Powerful. Kaleidoscopic classic. ?uest laid down the beat, and Jill STOMPED on it.

  • just got 8 min long shivers, fuckin orgasmic and cosmic experience

    this is HUGE

  • Jill Scott wrote this song but they passed her up for the (then) more famous Erykah Badu. The fact that she starts the song off so grandiosely is just like saying, "Now, this is MY time!"

  • its a psychedelic way of singing this song. very great. respect. its an artwork and i love it.

  • @foolinuniversity i sooo agree with u...she truly puts the word ART in ARTist

  • This is one of the best live performances I've ever seen. Jill keeps this song moving and the Roots as always are off the chart. My only regret is that I wasn't there to experience this phenomenon live!

  • That was bangin..I loved that.

  • heroheroheroherohero

    love you, jill

  • I'm not gonna lie, this version is better than the Erykah Badu one. You betta sang Jill Scott!!!!!

  • @kareem31b i think it was in the vibe or something.she was supposed to perform the song but the roots and their label decided to go with badu coz she was well known.it would have created a good buzz for her but instead she came into the game out of the blue without featuring in many artists songs.thats why she named her album "who is jill scott"

  • JILL KILLEDDDD IT!!!

  • I was @ this show. 9:30 Club in DC. Front row. Still today one of the best shows I've ever seen. I got Goosebumps during this part of the show.

  • So often I watch Jill Scott express how I feel inside. I wish I was as free as she.

  • 62 clueless folks are walking around without good knowledge of TRUE music!

  • This was MAD Primal! I just got warped back through the sands of time and place. You can feel the strength and the presence of the ancestors...

  • did anyone else get the chills when listening to this? i wish i was there.

  • OMG!!! do u feel dat.... that ish is wild...wish I was in the building!!!

  • Damn, I wish I could have been in the audience. I can feel the vibe through the computer. I bet it was absolutely amazing in person!!!!

  • I felt bad for Jill Scott years later when l found out The Roots stole her shine on this ORIGINAL joint. Good for her tho coz she became more famous than The Roots anyway.go figure

  • @EdiBlazE Huh? I know she wrote the lyrics for Erykah Badu on the original song, I have never heard the Roots tried to do her wrong. Where did you see or read that at? I dont believe that for one minute the Roots stole her shine!

  • JILL ROCKED!! I felt African energy from her soul!!GREAT PERFORMANCE!!
