[0GhostHound0]

That turkey baster has such a beautiful voice.

[PhoenixxH345]

Na it's like listenin to Wu Tang it's totally understandable you just gotta catch some of it.

[talkindurinthemovie]

[kevweb92]

[BedRockBrutha]

[taydabread]

Love u erykah. Got to hear this song at least once a day

[Imran0said]

RIP J. DIla

[PaulKevin14]

It's kinda confusing where the Lady GaGa fashion trend started since I saw her wearing a weird get up in the video. I still prefer Erykah over GaGa though.

Love is life, and life is free

[wisdomnlove88]

N the beginning of the video is the flash of light.. n I think that means she landed on earth

[wisdomnlove88]

What she is sayin is we are not from earth... We lost our way but if we open our hearts we will b lead back on path.. I love this song

[BlackAnkh1865]

I miss my Aquarian Brother... Erykah is Celestial as always.... God of Wind and Air...

magical voice

[dionnefaulkes]

Soundtrack to my life.

[jacorytheshow]

happy newyears ladys 2012

[Paraphraze615]

i got this stuck in my head

[straightupgospel]

I believe the meaning of the outfit is extra terristrial...part of her religious belief. The head gear is respresenting a pharaoh like status being they believed they were gods. There's a therory about the ancient pharaohs being aliens...

[zurplerain]

this is one of her hottest songs to date

[adas525]

J. Cole flipped this track perfectly.

[shamia3121]

@adas525 he did and i loved the song before i heard his track...and i loved both of them...but for him to have listend to her in the past make me an even bigger fan of his!

[adas525]

@shamia3121 oooh a girl who likes J.cole...i liiiike you! :) Cole World!

[ezearl]

@adas525 No Son. Erykah Killed This Shit. So Did J Dilla. Classic In It's Purest Form.

[ksh3bsh]

true originality and talent

[uhwaykin]

Dilla.

[jonfew1]

I hear this beat in my head every time I spark one...

[adas525]

@jonfew1 smoking is bad for your lungs!!!!!

[Mrstonesober]

The outfit is the wedding gown....

[Mrstonesober]

I think the song is about marriage....the lyrics are bliss.

[dadrit]

''If this too deep for the intro I'll find another use

But just in case it's perfect let me introduce''

Cole World

[AboveX321]

Amazing song.. i love j coles version too " Too deep for the intro"

[LongLegged87]

Erykah always has a meaning to everything she does and everything she says. It's gonna kill my mind until I find out what this outfit means because I know it has a meaning. It's not just a crazy get up.

[MrGodspeed1966]

this song is super hot you can chill to it or ride to it.but i wonder who is the real producer to it

whoever that person is big ups and bring more music like that ,that god sound

[jmgears]

@MrGodspeed1966 why, the one and only J dilla of course. The greatest to ever do it. May he R.I.P

[komatised1]

@jmgears did he die?????? :O :( and when???

[5015dance]

This would be a good slow grind song!!

[rocabilly927]

This is that light a blunt shit and just chill to music

[bigmalc89]

@rocabilly927 yessir.

[2andFoh]

Hypnotic groove. Love Ms Badu

[basfaratu]

this video is sick. Her outfit is very H.R. Giger inspired....

[TheBiggestPhan]

J Cole (:

[Sistah4Life]

love this woman....just gifted.

[Nina513]

Such a great and artistic video...

Ms. Badu is the greatest...

[creolelady89]

Erykah wore crazy clothes before Nicki or Lady Gaga XD

[stagm3]

@creolelady89 it seemed unforced and genuine with Erykah, with Nicki and lady gaga,just seems phony and gimmicky 

[creolelady89]

@stagm3 lol it is with them. It's totally just her style. fits her well.

[mpope409]

@creolelady89 Those aren't "crazy" clothes. This is actual art and culture.

[creolelady89]

@mpope409 Don't be so sensitive. She's known for eccentric dress and antics. Way before they cheap knock offs of today that do not have any "culture behind it"

[mpope409]

@creolelady89 Yeah, you right, you right. I wasn't trying to jump on you.

[halfninjaturtle]

partially functional, half of me is comfortable...

[breyjfox]

ive walked thru the desert before in less restricting clothing.... mad props miss.

[oneluv72]

Dilla did his thing on this.....He must have listened to some Lonnie Liston Smith cause it has that Liston melody!!!! Beautiful......

[MsMangomama]

Love some erykah badu music!

[fadedyouthtube]

Thumbs up if the search bar brought you here.

[complaintdept92]

I love this song. That's what brought me here!

[DreamsVsReaIity]

cole worldddddddddddddddddddddd ..

[mrokmijn12]

i guess 49 people didnt know .

[mrokmijn12]

this song is like a calming smoking section kind of music .

[TheKingarrives]

The older I get and more I go through the more meaning this song has to me. Not many songs have that power.

[grunder20]

cool girl!! sweet voice!!

[patricias1227]

this song is so soulfull

[keia2012]

This song really speaks to my soul

[MsBossx20]

SMOOTH GROOVE

[ThisMeansWarRecords]

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.

If you like check the other artists we have over 80 vids up!

Cheers!

[HandsomeHybrid]

Man!!! She had to be suffering wearing this dress during production! That saying, "Artist suffer for their art!" It's no lie... Respect Miss Badu making Dallas proud!

[skrapgotends]

48 ppl still stuck in dem triple stages blind,deaf & dumb

[ChrissieBana]

There should be no ending of this amazing song... Ah... What a bliss this song is...

[shundratTHEdiva]

@901chucky 48 just dislike real music!

[72ghettoboy]

[mamajuicesi]

[kennbrr]

[shawniscoolbro]

@killahkazi why she gotta bitch tho ?

[killahkazi]

@shawniscoolbro I don't know. Why Not?

[kobyfan81]

BEAUTIFUL.........

[yellopanda]

iono bout yall but DJ STANKDADDDYYY brought me

[dominanails]

Amazing ..... I love her music, words, mission, style, voice, energy and message

[G33K420]

i just feel at peace listening to her.

[darkodasefx]

Dilla & Erykah, true combination!!!

[blukper]

I wonder why it is that some artist can put out a really meaningful song, but then make a video that is so out in left field!!....LOL I mean if she made a "wrong turn" and ended her butt up in this damn desert!.....DAMN!....LMBO! Maybe it represents her dream. I dunno, a storyline would have been better. IMO

[bolder2009]

@blukper That's why she's the artist and you're the listener.

[Thegagainme]

@blukper

hmm. you'r born without understanding for other art.. i love the video, i love the song, and if you dont like any if the things then just shut up about it:)

[blukper]

@Thegagainme Funny how people can come on YouTube and tell others to f-off, go to hell, etc, etc. First, you don't even know me. You sound rather immature telling someone to "shut up". It's called having an opinion. I'm an author of poetry so I know a little something about "the art", the "concept". So maybe it's "you" that has issues. You feel important now, the drugs made you feel compelled to do your little write up? Born without understanding.....LOL

[Thegagainme]

@blukper

hmm.author of poetry?. maybe your poetry sucks.. maybe its great, i wouldent know. one things sure, ya dont know me, so dont judge me. drugs?. oh, you think you can say i have an opinion because i do drugs?. hmm. makes no sense. drug is only a little part of me.. wont even call weed a drug, more like.. a plant or something.

[Thegagainme]

@blukper AND!, the only thing i wrote was for you, or any haters to shut up about it?. ya realy want to ruin a great song by posting shit?. i dont go to justin bieber or lady gagas videos and say shit bout them.. grow up, i was being nice..

[blukper]

@Thegagainme Are you finish? First off, Erykah's musik is in my stash of CD's big time, (probably got one in the car right now), so slow your roll. Secondly, it's call an opinion! We're all entitled to it. If you can't rebuttal without catchin a hissy fit, maybe you're the one that ought to "shut up". I realize that the video had nothing to do with literally being out in the middle of a desert. It's really about being in the "mindset", thas "my" interpretation. Relax, enjoy your Holiday!

[abreufortaleza]

Didn´t like this as soul music, didn´t like this as video, didn´t like her too much as singer. I went here cause someone told that Yukimi Nagano sounds like her, but i think Nagano is preety better

[Salukiham420]

@abreufortaleza silencio por favor

[YahSedQanu]

@abreufortaleza hater LOL Sounds like you try to put the student over the master... what else is new!

[abreufortaleza]

@YahSedQanu Not hater... just didnt like it. Sorry if you do.

[funkchick65]

DEEP LYRICS !!!!!!!

[gta707]

48 dislikes = 48 retards !!!

[Yaadgyal09]

Love it

[SimplyDlmply]

still sounds good....

[luvcandi2]

This song is so unique and so is Miss Erykah Badu.

[The808Prophet]

that thing on her head looks fckin trippy lol

[Fangscream]

Wow, I'm so glad I looked up "Jesus is Black" arguments. A video about it had this song in it, and I instantly fell in love with the song. Erykah is such a unique, amazing artist, both visually and musically.

[ChocklatKim]

love this!!

[QualityKayla]

i love Badu but what's her hidden message?

[zz604]

how can you dislike this....seriously

[LightningStash]

@zz604

Exactly. It is a deep, & moving Soul Song. I can listen to it for hours, & not once feel bored!

[ytati1027]

i brought myself here...thumbs up for me (:

[8383Aly]

@ytati1027 me to...:)

[stltheking]

DILLA DILLA MIX MIX MIX

[OnlyMeloD]

the video says enough!.

[ConfidenceFitness]

cole world

[MsMamello]

Love it

[larrence029]

thumbs up if the greatness of this song brought you to this song and not Dilla nor Cole

[lisamariestube]

@larrence029 Who? 

[larrence029]

@lisamariestube j cole = great rapper.....j dilla = great producer

[djjoshsnowden]

@larrence029 it was produced by Dilla...

[larrence029]

@djjoshsnowden ummm ok?

[illbubble]

@larrence029 rofl what? the greatness of this song was created by Dilla, pay respect motherfucker.

[larrence029]

@illbubble point being? just like i said the greatness of the song brought me here...not j cole, or solely dilla....so pay respect to the artist too mothafucker

[vibesNstuff]

@illbubble word



[realisticfrankie]

@larrence029 How the hell do you compare this to cole and dilla?

[larrence029]

@realisticfrankie wtf? where was the comparison?...and actually dilla produced it

[KungFuSouljaGirl]

You guys are dumb Egyptians are black.

[Speer82]

This bass pattern is so sick. As a bass player, I think this is the perfect blend of vocals and bass. Erykah is so bad ass.

[MrCHutchMusicCBT]

#Coleworld

[ILikeMyMusicLoud]

Black people are not the greatest. We're all equal. I have no idea why the fact the ancient egyptians were semitic and not black is being brought up, so let me just say Erykah Badu is awesome and be on my way out.

[wiibot15]

@ILikeMyMusicLoud We are not all equal. Ancient egypt was occupied by many people, many people were taken as slaves and that stuff, but ancient egypt had a strong african identity.

[ILikeMyMusicLoud]

@wiibot15 And why would Ancient Egypt having a strong African identity (which is not backed up by historical fact, but whatever) make black people unequal to anyone else?

[wiibot15]

@ILikeMyMusicLoud I said we aren't all equal, I never said anything about black people...exactly.

[iLoveDaleJr100jk]

Love this song...but no one has said anything bout J Dilla! He produced the song! Just sayin...I thought people should know that

[MsIsitreally]

LOVE HER

[Salukiham420]

@izache100 did they keep water/supplies to survive in the desert?

[Salukiham420]

@Salukiham420 I have listened to this song >100 times over the last 3 days

[CSP31CSP]

@Salukiham420 ME TOO!!!

[Salukiham420]

@CSP31CSP ...holy moley...i just went to your channel and saw someone blasting a tv...was that you !?!?!?!!? hahaha love it

[CSP31CSP]

@Salukiham420 LOL yes I am guilty.....12 gage!!!

[sometimesdumb]

@Salukiham420 probably. like in selena gomez's video for 'a year without rain' was filmed in the desert, and during an interview she was drinking a lot of water. so they most likely did bring water.

[anteona1]

Luv her....

[anteona1]

I think I made a wrong turn back there sum where....

[thasco]

Erykah rules all.

[mrwestmemphis]

big ass hat

[liveelovelaugh1]

She's so freakin pretty!

[supercartoonfreak]

Badu the best baby!! This is real music! No one beats her. NO ONE!!!!

seriously like, why can't we jus
