Dope song.. cant believe its almost ten years old, where is the time going.

[Mrsigurdson]

Save your money

We went to see Erykah at the Ottawa Bluesfest, she was scheduled to play from 8pm to 9:30 pm. By 8:30 the crowd was booing, by 8:35 half the audience had given up and started to go find seats at other shows. It was after 8:45 when she finally deigned to make an appearance,. She scowled at the audience when she took the stage. We left too. Talk about pathetic. I lost all respect for the woman. Talk about an overstuffed ego.

[sweet2def]

@Mrsigurdson Oh thats a shame man. I have seen her three times so far, all in London for three years straight , (wellactually, 2008, 2009 and 2011) and the 1st time, I she was scheduled to come out at 9pm and didnt get out until late but she MORE than made up for it because the crowd raised HELL! The last two times I have had no complaints, she was on time and each show much better than the last!

[Mrsigurdson]

@sweet2def It is a shame. But in this case she could not make up for her late start and lost time, because the tragically hip came on at 9:30. So of the 1.5 hours she was scheduled to play, she played less than 0.75 hours

[TheChouxGirl]

@Mrsigurdson hell naw I went to see her at chastain park in atlanta she was 2 hours late and the crowd was still jumping....we had hella fun she DJ'd some old skool songs and everything it was soooo much fun idc how late she was I will always go to one of her concerts she Killed that shit!....ya'll sated booing after 30 minutes that disrespectful and lame concerts start late all the time....i doubt it was the crowd it was probably just you

[efrankl1]

[JaielleAmara]

"Where Erykah Badu at?" - Lil Wayne

No, seriously, where she at? We need artists like her and Lauryn Hill back in the game, IMMEDIATELY.

[TheChouxGirl]

@banggxskeeet she said does live performances all year long b/c its her favorite part of the job she also released 3 new videos already this year and has been performing at festivals and as guest DJ all over...I'm a true fan i watch her trail in hopes she come my way :)

[penup442004]

[neneluvya]

I Love Music Like This. Im Just 15 Years Old But I Prefer Erykah Badu , Musiqsoulchild, Aaliyah, Lauryn Hill & A Lot Of Other Artists That Relate To Them Over The Music We Have Today. My Generation Is Missing Out Big Time On Good Artists And Meanigful Lyrics Like This.

[2pacaveli7]

I HIT THE REPLAY BUTTON MORE THAN IKE HIT TINA

[psstTinyx]

I think Erykah Badu and Alicia Keys are the best female artists right now..

[jaymall]

remember when video quality like this was acceptable?

[rennyjc]

I don't see the point in saying your age on every old school song I go too. I think people feel like they get brownie points for being young or something. Anyways, I love (some) of today's music. Don't sit on our generation. But I love this song aswell. =)

[MrJaystunes]

@rennyjc

Dumd ass idiot!!

[rennyjc]

@MrJaystunes Fuck you! You don't fucking know me. And I can assure you, an idiot is the last thing I am. Music is in a dangerous state but I think it's making a turn for the better. Try coming at people politely and you might see their point of view. And you spelled DUMB DUMD so you might aswell kill yourself bitch. Listen to the fucking music and let people have their own opinion. I like this song and I love Erykah Badu so what's your fucking problem twat?!

[woodyordiddy]

@rennyjc your absolutely entitled to your opinion, but if you think music is taking a turn for the better these days, your either naive or too young to have ever heard good REAL HipHop music. this lil wayne and soulja boy shit makes me want to vomit. and Mrjaystunes, only cowards pick on people online who have no way of defending themselves. nobody has love for anybody these days and thats why popular music anymore is always about raping and killing instead of chillin and living a good life

[rennyjc]

@woodyordiddy I don't like Soulja Boy and I'm not a fan of Lil Wayne's new music. I hate when people speak condescendingly about music because if I did like them it'd be my choice and that would be what appealed to me. When I say it's making a turn I'm saying artists are being more positive again and less violent and vulgar. I'm saying that artists like Curren$y, Kanye, Drake, Nicki, J. Cole, Corrine Bailey Ray, Bruno Mars, Miguel are being lumped in with other people and it's not right.

[rennyjc]

@woodyordiddy And don't get me wrong I love old school and I love all kinds of music. So for people to assume someone is musically ignorant is very insulting. You can check my favorites and tell me who I like because I love music and I'm sure everyone does so I on't see why the older generation sits on a high horse as if the generation before them didn't say the same things you're saying now. I know when people were younger they said that music is just noise and turn off that crap. I know it.

[fabulousgirl112]

@rennyjc speak!!!!

[MzJazzy123100]

i love this song!Erykah Badu is amazing! i love the rap part.. i will kill to meet her one day♥
