[JamesyLEGEND]

Black Thought and Nas' styles are very similiar, two of the greatest to ever do it and i love this song.

[Wangtime1]

Word Black Thought is the best MC commin out of Philly no Doubt! He is probably most underrated all time! Check out the track Black Thought did with Big Pun..... shyt is sick !

[MrPhillyrick1]

"we knew from the start, that things fall apart, and tend to shatter....she like " that shyt dont matter, when i get home....get at her!"

thought ripped this!!

BLACK THOUGHT A BOMBAZZ MC.!!

[pettusdr]

Jungle style percussion, combined with that smooth bass and Eryka Badu's voice starting at 3:26 til the end was just ridiculous!!! Way ahead of their time!! This is definitely a classic!!

[yankessnperu]

Classic.. the roots will go down as one of the BEST artist of hip hop.. true talent...no one can really touch them......the only group that keeps it real, like the days of true rap...days in the 90's

[skits0xb00]

0ne 0f thee best tracks

s0ng is erykah badu

[01vicon3s]

who is the female rappin in the song?

[sbgal13]

eve

[CA480]

Eve

[01vicon3s]

I knew it sounded like her I wasnt sure this song is hard as hell man

[CA480]

I know right? This song will never get old. It sucks to see The Roots are now the house band on the Jimmy Fallon show. They won Grammy's and deserve much better. The U.S. just isn't ready for how deep they are.

[japetus]

Trust me, they aren't mad at getting those paychecks every week.

[ladyraven30]

i heard that, japetus. Nothin' wrong with gettin paid....

[CA480]

Oops haha. wrong one, disregard my comment please.

[CA480]

Eve

[sweettooth3700]

[hecksoe]

i just seen the roots perform this song last night at rock the bells. good music.

[bennys013]

Why the FUCK is the embedding disabled man.

[Merdenoms]

For real. Record companies got nothing better to do than police the internet.

[jamila43]

this track still bangs! real music an stand the test of time

[adelicaterose]

[delymora]

Deli from madrid spain!

[asiamay522]

dis my shit

[Shadesofgreen18]

Mhhmmm u right on ur description. The Roots are slept on...smh to the ppl who listen to the radio they don't know what they're missing.

[MrPhillyrick1]

"that snake could be that chicken, that rat could be that cool cat!"......" if something on your chest then let it be known, see im not your every 5 minutes all on the phone"

black thought ripped this shit!

3:25 thats eve dead on the ground

[MrPhillyrick1]

jill scott originally sung the hook but the label wanted someone known. at the time jill scott was an unknown and the label had their eyes on the charts and dissed jill and brought in erika badu. erika killed it too, but jill ripped the original. and thats the female mc EVE on the female rap verse. she was another unknown at the time. then she signed with rough riders and blew up. philly has much unknown talent

[SpectacularDesires]

Real Music...now all you hear is some Soulja Boy garbage playin on the radio 2 bad.

[laylani890]

this is real music. i wonder when people are gonna stop following trends and wasting their money one basically shit,shallow,not deep,not relavent music. i wish erykah and the roots and all of the other cats would get the recognition they deserve.

[FromTim]

People need to request them on the radio more, especially when they have something new out.

[RemiMattia]

That lady's so beautiful...I like her mouth. The sound of her voice gives you the chills! I could so easily fall in love with her......

[YWUDILIE]

Why Eve is not on the song title

[giveupthedream]

jimmy fallon... FIRST !

[h95718]

YISREAL WAKE UP! we still have time ! Shalom to all my conciuose people! the truth shall set you free!

[dohboy200]

man this song never gets old

[shunayo]

i miss you lindsey williams

[mintgreen4]

this song is so smooth. and questlove kills it at the end with the drums. one of my favorites.....

[j4m4la]

the end looks abit like drum and bass :P love it

[Monkee0828]

One of the BEST OF ALL TIMES

[SlumBornChampion]

THIS IS HIP HOP.PERIOD

[markrobson]

eves part is ill!! but no Ft. credit WTF

[stuckin95wu]

hip hop

[drumfoomaster]

questlove, pure solid groove.

[derek1651]

Yeah... Erykah sang the hook, but the song was co-written by Jill Scott

[nickipretti]

THis Song Is FIREEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!

[yungduffle03]

this got a crazy vibe to it...

[crazydiamondshining]

Anybody know the song from the Hurricane Katrina documentary movie by Cold Medina called "Amazing" written to the tune of this song, and where I can listen to it?

[Vintage27]

LEGENDARY!!!!!!!!!!!!

[chuckafuzzy]

fell in love with this song from when i first heard it!

[krisieboli]

...

[thiliemouse84]

best roots song

[Insey06]

Ethopiaa , true music pure love

[iloveporsha18]

real music!

[swapna329]

the rapper is eve...the hook is done by erykah

[katnichelle08]

Common is in this VIDEO! I really just noticed that and that eve was rapping as well. learn something new every day... right?

[peachesandsunshine9]

it sounds like eve is rapping, but she's not featured, thats odd.

[edcross0]

Thats because the singer is Erika Badu not eve.....

[peachesandsunshine9]

lol no. That's definately eve; look the song up on Wikipedia.

And it's Erykah, not Erika.

[edcross0]

yes u are right, i didnt even notice a girl also rapped and wasnt erikah. Thanks

[lovebuzz108]

which isn't even her real name anyway. since we're being tedious on youtube and all, Erykah is nothing more than a stage name. Erica is her legal and given name.

[peachesandsunshine9]

And you would be right. I'm just giving one artist some respect by typing their stage name correctly and giving another credit for rapping in the song

[derek1651]

Erykah Badu IS her legal name.... check it out- a matter of public record....

[troublexoumaker]

bless and love!!!!!!!!

[bifnaked93]

J'ai enfin retrouver cette chanson ca faisais tellement d'année que je cours après, toujours une chanson magnifique <3333333333333333333

[Pookie404]

Definitely a CLASSIC!!

[whitepolishrappa]

sick song. anyone know where i can get a hat like that?

[shoes4thoughts]

Journey's

[SamPoopie]

I love it.

[jackskes]

Forgotten how cool this song is.

[simonfrouws]

amazing song

[horrorbabe81]

I LOVE this song!

[NCannon83]

Classic Banger

[ghanboy]

That was Common at 2:18-2:19.

[AdamMTL]

yap

[USPTV]

ya right

[youbeforedee]

does anyone know when this song came out?? i swear i heard it during the summer of 2006.. but sometimes i get my summers mixed up lol..

[GrupUltra03]

somewhere around 1998-1997.

[GrupUltra03]

same time when NAS came with If I Ruled The World.

[youbeforedee]

hahaha wow i was late huh?? lol.. thanks :))

[cljohn2010]

classic

[thefrogsdogs1]

The bodies laying on the ground symbolize??????

[Joefonzgoldenarms]

when a relationship ends the part of the man or woman that was in the relationship dies and it can physically make the person think about his or her own real death, thats the best i can do

[thefrogsdogs1]

Wow dude, that is so deep. I think that's what I'm actually experiencing right now... haha. Thanks

[nuubiaah]

them drums...with the sweet strummin...damn

[jayjones254]

classic. beautiful mix of an awesome band, songstress and mc

[MimosaFun]

Love this song

[RocaCon420626]

Excellent Video By The Roots Indeed.

[Chaos157]

amazing song, i got a tear in my eye :(

[kazaneth]

when music looses its original identity just to sell to the masses, everyone and anyone, can identify with it.

i like when something is a special feeling that only me and a few others can truely grasp

[shoes4thoughts]

Everyone can identify with a piece of music but only a few can appreciate it for what it is.

[MiMorena76]

oops iment to say Eve sounds dope rapping, and Jill scott is the one singing the hook

[Larae718]

No, that's Erykah Badu. Jill was on it, but it was re-recored with Erykah.

[vfb2405]

Is that eve lying on the ground at 3:29

[Larae718]

No.

[kazaneth]

im white, but i have always loved bass guitar and r&b soul

the firstime i heard Erykah Badu was on the chappel show singing "sugar free"

i cannot get over her since

[Larae718]

Music has no color. It's made for any and everybody. That's why I get upset when people call black artist "sellouts" because they sing a pop or rock song.

[MacOne13]

Did they win a Grammy for this

[ism4el]

Grammy Awards  * 1999: Won for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group for "You Got Me" (featuring Erykah Badu and Eve)

[Thehives413]

i love this song. its one of my favorite roots song of all time.

[PhillipThunderGrunge]

simply genius, people need this in thier ears instead of ex: "Gutta Bitch", "lollipop'' im just giving examples.

[MiMorena76]

Erica Badu doing the hook, is just beautiful, and Jill Scott rapping back to Black Thought!!! is just genius, I love this song

[AlessandraV2006]

are you sure, doesn't sound like jill?

[geej2009]

that is not Jill Scott, its Eve.

[thanugg]

i love the drummin bass at the end!!!!

[thorazine666]

YEAH SAME CAT SHIT IS DOPE 1

[crybabyland]

This song is amazing. Perfect lyrics, perfect flow, perfect chorus, Eryka's voice is so haunting and it's beautiful. perfection.

[HispanicImpression]

SWEET CLASSIC SHIT !!!

[alexandrexxl]

excuse but im french and i can t understand why all those people seems dead on the floor, is this song represents the end of the world?thanks for your response

[nightcypha]

Pretty much it's representation of limbo for him. He's dead to the world, but alive to himself. This is why the rest of the world is dead BUT him. In all actuality he really is dead to the world but the rest of the world is alive.

[listyfun2]

thats my jam. The Roots were definitely slept on.

[davidbraae]

yea wallabees

[spiritluvchild11]

TRUTH.....couldn't have said it better myself.....another fav......

[steeltownbrown52]

Today marks the 10th anniversary release of Things Fall Apart.

[aznammunition]

damn i got that hook stuck in my head...i love this joint

[serenidipity0404]

when i'm at school and I try to play some music that I like, people come at me and accuse me of only listening to black people and that my music isn't as good as their music, but let me just say that this song playing right now is hot as hell, and erykah looks gorgeous

[ASB1512]

You just have good taste

[PalingLcw]

don't spend a second on haters let them hate they are usually jealous do your thing no matter where you from ,where you go,who you was be the best u can be and give hope to those who need it.

[BosnaMelly]
