red toe nail polish on white walls documenting the freaking

[mizzdarkNlovely]

this freaking was incredibly decadent.*

[KINSHASAA19sankru89]

This is soooo sick!!

[KFarrellPeople]

First learn how to spell defense, then learn and understand metaphors, poetry is about descriptions, to help you as the reader relate, not debate. To her the experience was like a Christian Festival, it was a epiphany to her, not to you. I an feeling this so very much, one of my many favorite by the Princess' of Poetry

[virtue737]

peace! PEACE!!! P E A C E!!!!!!

[duttygyal16]

i honestly don't see what the discussion is about. Aisateric is right and summed up the message of the song better than anyone. discussion closed.

[mand1sh3p]

Everybody has their own view/opinion. People trip me out tryna say who's wrong or right.

[Thunesite]

Angelomonroe, Marriage is not a ceremony of God BUT a ceremony of man! It IS as said earlier by one of the members that posted that when two people are joined (male and female) sincerely in love then they are ONE in the eyes of Jehovah God. Remember that God GAVE David multiple wives, and told him he would have given him more if only he were to ask!

[Thunesite]

NOR is it defined for you to precisely say Jill Scott is wrong for satiating her sexual desires as an unmarried individual.

[jchris723]

and you wrong for even viewing the video, shut the hell up! Jill Scott dont need you!

[Thunesite]

jchris go sit on a fucking BIBLE, then go sit on a fucking dictionary!! Learn a lesson or two about content and understanding that content. It seems literary criticism is not for you! And it is an opinion not a defence.

[Thunesite]

Solomon had 1000 wives. Moses too had multiple wives. It is also said in the Bible that some men only had one wife and if you were a Preacher, Elder, Deacon, or Overseer of a Church then you SHOULD only have one wife (1 Timothy 3:2). As you can see God tolerated his Bibilical Patriarchs having multiple wives and limited his church leaders to only one! So the situation about fornication is not clear-cut.

[kuntriopia]

cause u got real silly when you want big willy.dat feelin in your biddy to make you want to role a philly.lol dat real diggy

[Aisateric]

She's having great sex with someone but there's no love in it and it leaves her empty after the act. It was empty sex, its just a FUCK, and she had an "epiphany" that she wants more, she wants to make love

[buttaluv10]

Wow!Very well put!Good summary of the song!

[shakeymomm]

she's in b'ham tonight

[jfloyd82]

Just got back from her show indy 5 min. ago!! Goodness...Goodeness! If you have not seen Jill live....you are missing one of the greatest singers of our time..by the way her band is sick too!!! Love you Jill!

[lisalighty]

LUV THIS...

[Luchiano]

This song is about me

[pbf19]

"I fell for the rock and shore, enough he brought it close so i can really see" Jill is a bad chick, so artistic a true artist.

[syckindahead]

Save the drama for who?

Get back to the love folks-listen to the lyrics-seductive and adult without being obscene. Tight....Jill Scott is all that and then some.

Check her out on tour!

[arionathomas]

this is my jam but im still trying to figure out why there are so many haters? but who cares jill is the stuff shes the drug and im addicted

[TyKnowsMusic101]

She Say's "up close he slide between my breast...sweaty wit lust and sweat ..then she say's "creamy lava landed on her skin and neck blended wit her all day chanell scent"

....in a poetic way she sayin she dont mind being titty fuck and dont mind da facial...i been knew she was a freak since "Cross my Mind"...but i love the fact shes not a bein so blunt about u gotta hava poetic mind to undastand what shes sayin

[jahlin87]

I know you wrote this 3 months ago but I'm gonna say what I got to say anyway. I think the whole point of this song is to really bring to light how doing any and everything with your lover is not always healthy psychologically. Certain things are just plain degrading. "I think" that is way she asks at the end, "Then why do I feel so empty". It's okay to be a freak but not to the point if you feel that you're being debased. Now that's just my opinion.

[TyKnowsMusic101]

I Agree With You ...i been wonderin why did she end the song with "why do i feel so empty?" i knew it had somethin to do with her givin her all to a man but knowin what come's next...i respect ya opinion

[81Rob81]

She could be having a sexual relationship with someone that isn't her man. That could also be another possibility of feeling empty.

[jahlin87]

That's true.

[treasurecat03isme]

nope Aisateric is right! Sorry. u fuck someone for a while thinking it kool but then u realize u need more.

[prizmjewel]

brilliant!!!! when i first heard it it really made me see how over rated sex is. jill scott is a drug.( GIVE IT UP FA DA NEW CRACK YALL!!!)

[MustafaZero2008]

Beautiful Song Cant stop Listenin to it. I love her word play and How She makes sex a pure thing again and how its not worth it if it aint gonna make u feel good.

[kweencessX]

*Looks at play count* ..497... Yup, gotta love this. I haven't stopped playing it since I got the album. Fire!!!

[WC4Life007]

produced by scott storch!!!!!!!

[sanmuhammad]

Jill Scott is One of The best!!

I love her songs!!

Check out my Vids..........

[bbygurl1400]

i never judged anyone in the first place,

neither did anyone else on here BUT

angelomonroe. I was simply trying to get him

to realize that he was contradicting himself.

Make sure you know what you`re talking about

next time "dumbass"

[angelomonroe]

yo mama.

[bbygurl1400]

every bitch that look like you.

"Yo mama" "Yo grandmama"....

aunties, sisters, kids. . .

you want to go toe to toe with me angelomonroe? lets go.

[angelomonroe]

im the perfect one to do it slut. im the king of "back and forth". every whore that looks, smells, or talks like you "YOUR WHOLE GENERATION" i will speak on whatever i want you stupid ho.

[bbygurl1400]

talks like me? how do i talk? does the way that i type reak of ignorance to you? judging you based upon what you just wrote, i would have to say that you are extremely mindless considering the language you used.

[angelomonroe]

ho please take your ignorant garbage somewhere else or i will shove it down your disgusting throat.

[CJ3517]

wow uv been commentin on this for a year. jeeez!

[angelomonroe]

yeah thats right now shut up!!!

[CJ3517]

sorry mate il leave u to it...

then il come bak next year to see if ur stil here :)

[angelomonroe]

whatever!!!

[bbygurl1400]

treasurecat...w/e ur name is

sweetie i think you should read the rest of

posts that angelomonroe has posted on here.

if you would have actually examined the

situation before you were so quick to come to

the defense of him, then you would see he is

person judging everyone who dare say they

like this video.

[treasurecat03isme]

who r u 2 judge angelomonroe while u sitting on here lookin and listenin to the freaky and sexually explicit shit thats all ova this web site. i really dislike u judgemental muthafuckas. all of her songs have different messages i mean she did say it was an epiphany dumb ass

[bbygurl1400]

you had said to someone "you know what shut up. i will do what i want. you dont like what i have to say." take your own advice stop arguing before you make yourself look like a bigger fool than what you already have.

[bbygurl1400]

angelomonroe, you are the worthless idiot in this situation. Here it is, you criticize Jill Scott for expressing her sexuality through a poem.Don't contradict yourself by putting down jill scott and trying to degrade this song, but yet you watch beyonce shake her behind while she is in a freakum dress And some of Aretha F.songs had to do with sex "Dr. Feelgood", "Rock steady"

[angelomonroe]

shut up hoe.

[thickgyrl]

i LOVE THIS SONG....It makes u think I have had that feeling b4 and during sex that was like wow I got him feeling oh so good then when its all said and done its like whats the point.

[weaze39]

angelomonroe,

You don't have any real understanding of God's Word. Nor, any with a simple song. Peace Out....

Wish You The Best.

[angelomonroe]

no i do have an understanding you just don't want to accept it. what i said about fornication is true.

[wierdbutnice]

The word play in this song is amazing:

" I felt for the ROCK and SHORE enough he brought it close so I could really SEA"

Linking nature and sex so effortlessly she avoids sounding vulgar and captures what for some people is a truly spiritual experience. Genius

[pbf19]

yes, Jill is the best. Artists now adays don't know how to write a descent song without being vulgar, it's a shame. Jill is a poetic genius.

[Housemouse53]

i love this song.

[tenshigirl25]

just brilliant. she has such a beautiful mind.

[madnessisgladness]

this is ma jam!go getum mama!

[RIPDILLA83]

This is crazy! I love love love love love this! I listen to this on repeat...in the car, work, class..

Watching as he took the holder off his shoulder

Fire in his eyes,hands getting bolder

Quiet,quiet

Growing excited

Dug him for his bank account,but really for

his private

Damn about a mindset

Really wasn't into that

Needed me some pleasing,jon looking real fat

[CherryNihiku]

oh and angelomonroe is a guy?...that explains alot lol

[jakarahamore]

Poetic, yes...vulgar, no...try not to get too caught up cause you might miss the point.

[angelomonroe]

so i guess this song should be played for like 12 yrs old b/c they are ready to have sex then.

[jakarahamore]

Its my opinion that the point of the song is that meaningless sex isn't fulfilling. Sex without love will always leave you empty.

[mrsandreisrael]

Thank You!!!!

[jakarahamore]

One more thing...its okay to tell a 12 yr old that sex w/o love isn't cool.

[angelomonroe]

no it is not. what kind of a perverted parent would do something like that. yucccck!!!!!!!!!

[CherryNihiku]

What the hell are you talking about?

Did you LISTEN to the words of the song at all?

She is actually saying that it WASNT worth it saying "why do I feel so empty?"

You complain about this when you have videos of Beyonce (who shakes her ass half naked and sells sex for a living) in YOUR profile?

Oh please

[angelomonroe]

first off i will say what i want to say and their aint nothing you're going to do about it. we are not talking about beyonce we are talking about this song. please stay on the subject you worthless idiot.

[mrsandreisrael]

for mature adults only...

At least she's poetic.

My parents played Marvin Gaye & Aretha Franklin in my youth. I didn't understand until I became an adult as to what they were really saying. Get Over yourself and embrace being an adult that has sex.(?) If you can do it, you should be able to talk and sing about it with class.

[angelomonroe]

do not compare aretha franklin to vulgarity. aretha was never nasty. she was always positive. name one song where aretha says "its all the things i see, when you're inside of me".

[weaze39]

You must be young.  I guess you never heard of Aretha's song " Doctor Feelgood?"

[angelomonroe]

that just talks about how good her man treats her and how she loves him.

[mrsandreisrael]

That too, but LISTEN TO THE REST OF IT.

[CherryNihiku]

jakarahamore

I agree with you

Dont waste your time explaining that to this ANGELOMONROE chick

Maybe ANGELOMONROE will learn how to LISTEN and UNDERSTAND the MEANING of songs like this after she finish listening to Beyonce singing about shaking her ass in "FREAKUM DRESSES"

[jakarahamore]

Okay! lol glad SOMEBODY is LISTENING

[angelomonroe]

i never said all of beyonces songs are appropriate. the same goes to her. but like i said before we are not talking about beyonce we are talking about jill scott. its sad you dont know how to stay on a subject. just shut up.

[SexiFac3]

ok i jus wanna put my 2 bits in, first i read your other comment and would like to say this music isnt for 12 yr olds, secondly, doubt they would understand jills wordplay and jills songs arent inappropriate at all

[angelomonroe]

it doesn't matter im tired of us as black people not being a good role model for children

[SexiFac3]

what in the hell are you talking about? she is a GROWN ass woman at age 34 whos been married and has had sex before. she also is talkin about the subject in a real different, poetic, artistic type of way in which children without an artistic mature mind will not get it. in which way is she not a role model?

[Beatbuddyisdumb]

because of what she is talking about on this song. sex is nasty i don't get how people can do it. i don't understand why women moan.

[neolissa]

She is a good role model... for adults. That's more important because adults are ultimately responsible for childern. She is honest, true and real. She presents real life issues that many people face and intelligently lyricizes and stylizes them into music. Why are you such a hater?!?!?!

[angelomonroe]

im not a hater i just dont understand why would she make a song like this.

[angelomonroe]

this is vulgar

[mrsandreisrael]

Sounds like you haven't experience great sex yet. With someone special that is.

[toekneestoy]

you all should really just ignore angelmonroe-for some reason she has a vendetta because she is going to many of the Jill Scott videos and commenting negatively on her...guess what?? you don't have to listen to Jill. Go find something to do.

[angelomonroe]

you know what shut up. i will do what i want. you dont like what i have to say. just shut up and find something to do idiot.

[angelomonroe]

im not married so i dont have the right to have sex. that would be a sin.

[weaze39]

Sex is marriage. Once you've laid with a someone you just married them. Adam and Eve never had a marriage cereomony. And Adam called Eve his wife. The ceremony is man's law not God's.

[angelomonroe]

God married them. you dont take it upon yourself to marry you have to be legally married.

[weaze39]

I never read in the bible where, God had a ceremony between Adam and Eve. Read your Bible. Legal marriage is man's marriage not God's. Read the Bible. All men that slept with a woman, that woman became their wife.

[angelomonroe]

God said fornicating was wrong. am i correct?

[weaze39]

Fornication is not just having sex when your not married. I am wasting my time with you. Fornication is anything that goes against the word or God. Fornication equals sin, which is the transgression of the Law(God's Law) Again read your bible and stop listening to motivational speeches in church. Find a bible teaching church. Again, when a man and woman have laid together, they are now one body(married. God's Law not man's.

[angelomonroe]

fornication is sexual activity between two unmarried people. you dont want to admit it b/c you want to continue to have sex outside of God's Will. interesting how people will state the other sins of the Bible like stealing, murder, and lying but mention fornication and i guess thats an exception to them.

[brownsugar006]
