  • Sometimes the world can feel like a bunch of dead people with no heart!!!! And when the one that is suppose to have our back has no heart then that's when you want to die to!!! I always get a little weepy when i hear this song. Erica sounds so beautiful and soothing.The roots put they foot in this song.

  • Can't even tell you what this song does to me

  • @static1in21 I imagine what it feels like,,great song with sweet melody!!!

  • Sweet mellow mood... Hummm.. ;)

  • Why is everyone Planking? P.S. I love this song.

  • @CareBearCountdown Ha ha!! You were singing the remix right!! Love that

  • A real Valentine's Day song

  • Never understood what Ms. Badu was singin' for the life of me, so I'd sing what I heard.

  • Dated a guy a few years ago, he said this song was our song..then he cheated.

    Oh well, I still love this song. <3

  • Q is unbelievable. I love The Roots because not only are they good hip hop artists, but they are actually musicians!!!!! The "Do You Want More?" album is basically just a jazz/blues album with some MC's. Pure genius and super unique in the hip hop world. Much respect to them...

  • Love it

  • oh my gooooodes the drummer is mental

  • jesus erykah badu is so damn fine.

  • Bodro79, are there any cool bands we should know about in the U.S. from the Ukraine?

    R.I.P Michael Jackson and Amy Winehouse

  • This was back when music spoke about the real shit in life not just how much shit you have I miss this

    SHOUT OUT TO THE ROOTS

  • The Roots rock...hands down to Black Thought!!

  • Isn't that EVE feat. on this track?

  • @steph3016 NO.its erykah badu.

  • @MissLatinoChic I KNOW. I was referring the female rap part...I'm pretty sure its her, because it doesn't sound anything like Erykah.

  • @steph3016 Yes, that's Eve...

  • @steph3016 ooooh that part, yea thats eve for sure :)

  • i miss when music spoke about real things, deep things like this, with a hot beat!

  • PS.... THIS IS IN MY TOP 10 FAVORITE SONGS OF ALL TIME. GIVE MY LINKS A CHANCE. I WOULDN'T BE STRESSING ABOUT THIS IF I DIDN'T SEE SO MUCH POTENTIAL. EVERY HUMAN ON THIS PLANET NEEDS TO HEAR THE WORDS OF THIS MAN'S POEMS.

  • This is Real Hip-Hop

  • @Garflove1 yes it is! i miss this type of hip hop

  • What is this video about? I know the lyrics are about a guy who thinks his girl is cheating on him but she is promising him that she isn't. But the video doesn't seem to be about that...Anyone know?

  • @turnbe8 i was wondering the same thing!!!

  • @turnbe8 I think that he was always dead, and she was singing he song to him. In case he's wondering what's shes doing while he is gone...

  • @wooper001 Great! That makes a lot of sense, thanks for that :)

  • I want to see The Roots on 51 Arena 2012 in Poland !

  • 13 years old and STILL as fresh as the day it was created. That's perfectly produced music.

  • 4:21 style..

    so refreshing.

  • Wow Eryah Badu is soo beautiful and what I love about her is that she embraces her african heritage ALL DAY :P <3

  • BEST RAPPERS EVER!

  • Seriously though... Even if this isn't "your type of music" or whatever... why the hell would you hit the dislike button??? smh

  • Roskilde!!

  • Anyone noticed Common at 02:19?

  • @JusJosh90 queer hop?

    

  • @stonepown Hey! I have the definition of what queer-hop is and means to me on all my video descriptions. It's a sub culture and movement within the hip-hop movement much like "Black Music" was/is a subculture and movement within music during the height of the Civil Rights movement. My definition in my videos is more detailed. Thank you for caring enough to ask and I seriously appreciate the love from everyone that thumbed up my post/gave my music and message a chance..

  • @JusJosh90 oh i gotcha

  • Back when real music and lyrics were still alive...I miss this....

  • epic!

  • I don't mean to sound corny or anything, but when I heard this song I had felt something i have never felt while listening to music. I don't really know how to describe it, I was just lost in the sound I guess. This song really is something special, it's genuine, something you don't find with most music today.

  • @Jturnerman87 That's that love for good music... you actually feel it in your core. I feel that waaay to often and I can't really put the feeling into words. Just kick back and enjoy it.

  • @Jturnerman87 sounds like youve never had ecstacy.

  • @Jturnerman87 If you keep watching TV instead of actually looking for good music you won't find indeed

  • @Jturnerman87 that is because this music is NOT from today it was 13 years ago! duh man come on.... im glad u had an eargasm though that is good for young people nowadays!

  • @Jturnerman87 So true...it was just right.

  • @Jturnerman87 Hey don't sweat it. What U felt is something that I feel whenever I hear 'GOOD' music and 'REAL' Hip Hop. The best way I can describe the feeling is 'Heart'. :-)

    I just enjoy it and go with the flow.

    Peace

  • would kill to be at this concert live....a ridiculous collaboration here! this is real music! ....check the group "INRG MUSIC - FEELIN’ IT" for some more classy vibes!

  • We're an independent label trying to make it in this game and the best way to do that is by being more known on youtube.One of the ways we stand out is we help unsigned artists get more fans by uploading their songs for a new fan base

    You can change our future with one simple click.

    Please thumbs up so other people can see this and check out our channel and comment with feedback if you like,also if you think we could improve.

  • @jyzg that so is! and its common sleeping on a bus earlier. on a serious note this is one of the most poignant videos on youtube. I cannot stop watching.

  • @aockid yea the videos concept is eerie and beatiful.i wonder what it means,him walking through a a city of unconsicous people an finding his girlfriend only for him to be dreamimg in a choatic city(got shot and blacked out?).its very ambigous.But I luuuv Erykah Badu.For her voice and her lyrics.Her potent originality.Plus Badu got a booty,she be eatting that soul food lol.
