I don't mean any harm, but this lady's voice is pretty but she is too basic. Even her face is plain. Not that she isn't cute, but a piece a lip gloss and eye liner never hurt any female. Needs an update. Throw a little funk with some riffs in there. A guitar wouldn't hurt either

wow mos def is kind of a cop-out, this makes two songs that i've found that he didn't compose lol, he just raps over them.. what happened to his genius, or i mean, does he actually compose his music..? do any rappers do? WHAT IS GOING ON!!!! lol
@fearfulmatrix lol can we blame him. . . If I was a rapper I would love to get the opportunity to rap over this track. . . let's not underestimate this man's brillance he is truly a talented rapper that can go in on any track. Yes I give it to you that originality is becoming something that is unfortunately going by the way side, however he's a rapper not a producer so I think he is doing his job and very well. . .
@joi124 Then i think i must have misunderstood as rapping by a much brighter better sense of artistry and originality. I think that this might be the problem as to why hip-hop records by some are treated as disposable, because there really wasn't something original in the first place. If rappers would compose their music, and lyrics, much like many other musicians do, then hip-hop music in itself would be taken more seriously.
@fearfulmatrix Yea I definitely agree and I also hold Hip Hop as a superb form of artistry. Your art is held to a higher regard if you are the originator in every aspect of the track. Trust me I share your frustration with hip hop but I think Mos Def is a lyrical expert compared to some other rappers who are completely fabricated from their beats to their bars. I interpreted him rapping over this as an opportunity to work with a great fellow musician Georgia Anne more than anything.
@fearfulmatrix Hip hop isn't taken seriously cause the powers that be exploit it for their own means. You miss the point and the history of hip hop. Hip hop is about taking existing sounds, existing tracks and making something new from it. Hip hop is referential and can only be understood as that. J Dilla was definitely creating new shit. By your standard Rock and Roll is not original because the scales, cords and vocal patterns are all heavily borrowed from the blues.
@Cooprdog Yeah in one form or another, mixing tracks looping them and adding lyrics while tweaking the sounds can definitely create something fantastic. A great example of this is Midnight Marauders by Tribe called Quest. Though in this video though, which was my main complaint is how Mos Def pretty much rips off the song, and calls it his own. You could say that he probably bought the rights to it so it doesn't matter, but that doesn't really give originality at its whole.
man when u walkin to class, walkin through tha quad, aint nothin better than jammin this, lookin up at the sun, takin a deep breath and remembering why you lucky to be alive on such a grovy-ass day
I was addicted to her myspace page for years because of this song & just found the video by accident! I like the Mos Def version too but the original's better. Thanks for posting it!
Keep coming back to this one, thanks for posting, Georgia is genius! She's just as humble in real life as this video suggests! More LOVE! This song is SO healing!
How could music like this NOT be on the radio? And they wonder why the youth is wild as hell...No balance in the media they're bombarded with...Mellow music with positive undertones without all the sexual/materialistic messages...
@KaraokeKing Not necessarily. Real music lovers don't only rely music promoted mainstream media. Besides look at Janelle Monae; she's been around for a little while and has her own style of music with positive vibes - now she's on the radio still being true to her style. There's something for everybody out there if they want it.
LOVE THIS SONG, I am so blessed to have met Georgia and Dudley at her dad's memorial service in Leimert Park. Performed quite a few times with Ron before his passing. RIP. More love, GEORGIA ANNE MULDREW!
I can see if you heard this first how you might not like the Mos Def version, but I think the song is great either way. Mos hypes up the song and drops an undeniably great verse..."a smart dude never graduated art school, stay tuned I'ma show you how my art move, shapes and dimensions, flows and extensions..."
This is what most afroamerican female singers should do, instead of that pseudo pornographic crap. This sounds original, anti-mainstream and even risky. And she doesn't have to show her legs or tits.
I see why Mos Def chose not to change this song, it's great the way it is, all he did is fill in the gaps and ad-libs. Great version with or without him
