  • cont'd. Of course, the devil is symbolic of a seperation from God....which is common throughout world.. But as an African American, I notice it specifically among white people as I walk through the streets of America. In my opinion, we "as a people" assimilated with white culture and seperated from our spiritual roots. But we can still go back. The only way we can overcome our oppression is through a spiritual understanding that we can only get from the God the Father and the Holy Spirit.

  • cont'd. "But then God's gonna see me through" A spiritual understanding will reveal that the devil rules the world and the white man has killed countless women and children and developed weapons of mass destruction to tighten his grip and maintain his power over the entire world. So do the math...Malcom X revealed most of it to us already. As a people we must rely on God and an understanding from God in order to defeat the Satan and the devil. Don't be deceived...don't go by his ways....

  • "It ain't that he don't have education ... cuz I was right there at his graduation ... " as an African Amercian male in the United States, I am also hustling to make it in this world. I went to grad school and all that ... but I found out that corporate America won't cut it and black folks won't get a fair shake in a white world ... just look at your history if you are confused (recent history as a matter of fact). "but I understand the game"

    by the way Baduizum was the first CD I ever had my mom to by for me....Her music is def apart my life... thank you Erykah Badu for blessing us with something bigger than music...

  • @msolivia1 erykah badu was the first moment music became more than dancing and entertainment, it was when music became intelligent and meaningful, beyond the pop shit of the 90's, beyond spice girls etc, and she still makes me think!

  • ùhm_ÂñYÔNë_wÃÑNà_chat_wÏth_mê_­i_fëêl_sØ_lÕNElý_tòÐâý▲

  • 8 ppl are musically retarded! . . . ERYKAH IS THE BEST!

  • This woman. I swear this woman. Whenever I am having a bad day, like today, I write her name into youtube and she instantly calms me down. Her face and voice are so calming to me. True healer.

  • @sarmelie I never thought about it that way...but you are exacty right.

  • @sarmelie Yes.. she is a natural healer...must be her frequency/wavelength...or what most people call vibe ... short for vibration

  • bass players name?

  • 8 ppl honestly dont kno jack shit.

  • Sang Erykah!!!

  • head fukin bangaa

  • 8 deaf people stumbled across this recording...

  • This shit has so much fuckin soul it makes me shiver

  • mzsweetiepie, dont take my comment about how women dont understand anything literally, just a bad joke, there are lots of smart women to aspire to, just not on this occasion, with this song, some of her other stuff has some ok points.

  • outrageously funky bass playing, the tone is phenomenal!

  • @YEeeeeeSSSS Your really stupid

  • that being said, if i couldn't speak a word of english, i'd enjoy it, its just annoying to have her waste the music, and her voice

  • so to summarise, Erykah Badu is (depressingly obliviously) mensturating, and retarding over the fine art of music

  • 50 cent is real. if anyone deserves to rap about the game its him. As far as anyone else is concerned, clipse? Andre? any other second rate rap artists, or a woman who sings about them, who CHOSE to sell drugs, to impart an otherwise vacant sense of gravitas, needs to shut the fcuk up. Perhaps not even run around a stage with your head up your anus, being so so wrong. :(

  • she hitching a ride on the righteousness and real struggles, danger, lack of better options, of real men who may not have any other choice but to sell drugs, purely by (very weak) association... shame on her.

  • involving yourself with criminality despite being lucky enough to be properly educated, purely for vanity, and then trying to sell it as a necessary evil, is the most hypocritical and frankly retarded opinion one can have as of ones circumstances.

  • passive aggressive, closet racist. one who likes to talk a lot about race, or race relations, who is ironically more racist than the average person, who doesn't even consider race in any facet of everyday life whatsoever. Agian, wholly frustrating.

  • a very confused woman, posturing as one with informed opinions, wholly frustrating

  • lol women don't understand anything

  • those people are blessed to be in her presence , i cant get her tickets for shit in the world wen she comes to california :(

  • The White people in the front are so confused

  • @aremslie lol, they always say, "can you play something faster"

  • i LIKE THIS VERSION BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL

  • OMG this is just so soulful, so funky every time I hear it reeks soul/funk. If there is one out there who doesn't know what funk or soul is well here you go.

  • phase 1: round 2:53 the crowd just noticing DAMN they crankin good pause

    phase 2: 5:37 they break down and the entire band start leanin to their left (our right viewers) bass line jammin

    phase 3: 7:50 bass line break down, 7:55 live belt the rest enjoy the experience

  • @PUNCHDRUNKSAADIQ LOVE the lean a5 5:37! One of her best performances ever! I saw her over the weekend and I'm still on my high!
