0:03 - 0:05 is my favorite part. It reminds me of a boomerang...

[loventhanqz]

I Hate How People Always Mention, Or Associate Smoking With Erykah Badu . *Siqh*

[blimao86]

@loventhanqz ...yeah, who cares if her lungs are black, her music is pure light! Who hasn't smoked at one point or another in their lives? She's an artist, not a pediatrician!

[MsGoldenDesire]

@loventhanqz People say that about her because she mentions it, in 1 form or another in most of her songs.

[irmarobinson1]

Straight up, music like this is going down now an forever, LOVE IT!!! Put that in yur pocket and smoke it>>but don't inhale or it'll be a long, long journey...........PEACE!!

[xlmidi]

@0ctobergirl yes indeed! this song was produced by the late, great James "Jay Dee aka J-Dilla" Yancey (original member of Slum Village). He was one of the greatest and most influential american music producers of the last 20 years. May he rest in peace!

[mztifah]

You can never compare j.cole to erykah badu... it's like comparing a new born to a seasoned adult... pointless

not to mention the obvious difference in genre

[Donterris86]

this women can sing flat out

[LP101A]

She's talking about looking for a vector:

What is the best timing and what is the best approach?

Am I on the right track or should I look back and take another approach?

Is the timing right?

Synchronicity is what she's seeking

[hustlabaybee602]

I loveee it

[rodentsnest]

im trying to decide what way to go i think i made a wrong turn back there sum where,... tryna move but i lost my way....

[YoungLance1]

I LOVE ME SOME ERYKAH BADU!!!!!

[TheRosegina]

This that jam!

[oneeazy1not2]

this is the first time Real Hip Hop fans have been annoying as fuck.. wow. Idk whether to be proud that people like real hip hop or mad that they wont shut the fuck up and pay respect to one of Hip Hop's greatest producers that was ahead of his time and respect the Queen. Him and his engineer and Erykah did all the hard work in making this song

[bolder2009]

@oneeazy1not2 Don't forget Tarika Blue - Dream Flower, which is the source material for this music. Credit where its due to all the elements that came togeher to make this masterpiece of a song.

[area901]

I love thiz gurl  theres no1 better and neva will be She alwayes been diffrent and i love dat about her da most

[StarsInMyHands]

THIS is hot.

[4dabetta10]

[PdubzCrew]

lets not hate..

this was all hip hop and sampling at its best

J Dilla sampled to make the beat for erykah badu

then J.Cole sampled erykah badu to make a song..its all hip hop.

[varner414]

DAMN ITS HARD TO SAY WHO DID THIS BETTER BETWEEN J. COLE ERYKAH BADU. IT DONT MATTER THO I ROCK TO BOTH OF EM'. DOPESS SHYT EVER

[Jewel348351]

[DjNegi]

this is a pure classic..

badu's voice + dilla production

who said said too much of a good thing is bad..

and i give respect to j cole for adding his own take on this, he did it justice

[regalbeauty1]

you know people dont listen to real music anymore, because they keep referring to j. cole... if you listened to real music, you would have referred to erykah badu on j. coles song. this is in no way shape or form J. COLE's beat.

[varner414]

@regalbeauty1 NAW PPL REFER TO J. COLE BCUZ ALOT OF EM ETHER BIG FANS OF HIM OR NOT USE TO HEARIN DA ORIGINAL VERSION.I FEEL WHERE U CUMIN FROM THO

[latino4lifex]

@xJUNNiEx This song is on her "mama's gun" album =)

[ShanalaReyna]

hey ya'll. just for accuracy's sake- this beat isn't by dilla, it's a song by tarika blue called "dreamflower" that dilla in his brilliance unearthed. check it out.

[PeyotePaul]

What is the original J Dilla version called? I love his shit and this beat is amazin, i gotta hear it

[optikCB]

Dilla's got so many smooth smoked out joints, but this is by far his smoothest. I remember when this joint first dropped I immediately fell in love with the beat...years later would I find out it was a Dilla heater!

[Djeicabe]

I'm trully baduist!

[MzCappalot]

who the hell is J Cole?

[YungCityBoi415]

@MzCappalot the best rapper alive. dats who shawty

[kingsaw4lyfe]

@MzCappalot J.Cole is a rapper from Fayetteville, North Carolina. He signed with Jay-Z's Rocnation label. The reason why people are talking about him is because he made a song called "Too Deep for the intro". The song samples Erykah Badu's "Didn't Cha Know" and can be found on his latest mix-tape called "Friday Night Lights. Which includes great songs such as "2Face", "Best friend", "See World" and "Enchanted" : )

[Hydroskunk777]

@kingsaw4lyfe He could of had better verses on that beat. Shit was wack.

[eddiganjaman]

@kingsaw4lyfe so this j cole sampled a sampled tune? the original by tarika blue - dreamflower... a great tune

[rocslocs]

@kingsaw4lyfe actually its not sample from Erykah Badu because Eryakah Badu sampled Didnt cha know from Tarika Blue-Dreamflower,Erykah Badu never gave any credit to Tarika Blue any credit.

[BlakMastachief]

@rocslocs Thats because SHE didnt sample the damn beat. Its not in her power to give someone else credit for something she didnt make

[rocslocs]

@BlakMastachief whats up with the cursing,humm why folks cant disagree and not curse about it. Does damn make your point come across as stronger! your best line was the last line "something she didnot make". If that was your point just make it without cursing smh!!

[BlakMastachief]

@rocslocs I curse because I am free, I am allowed to curse when the situation presents itself to me. I do it not to express myself but because I just talk that way. Now dont think that I am cutting myself short of opportunities because I curse when I please, I know how to hold my tongue against people that I should be formal around. To me its not that big of a deal as curse WORDS are WORDS, which means they are only as powerful as you perceive them. So to that I say, fuck it.

[rocslocs]

@BlakMastachief I will let u have the last ignorant word. Watch Great Debaters and u will enlighten and increase your vocabulary, I'm sure u will reply with vulgarity, very predictable. I will let u feel like u have won,now go ahead have the last words,lol. Its important to you.

[BlakMastachief]

@rocslocs Lmao last words aren't the type of thing Id really care about, of course I can type/speak without cursing...and i find it funny that it bothers you...

[antooyachan]

@BlakMastachief No disrespect Blak, However let me explain that to words have more power than you can understand. Please over-stand this: each time you make a sound it effects the universe (pmH). By excreting negativity you create negative energy. this energy flows in a static pattern this static movement beats like a heart and that make the sounds of space connecting us all to, the stars. the ancestors. I understand you feel free to create what you will with full ignorance of natural order.

[karebear804]

@antooyachan  ~ <3 ~

[Hache2KMusic]

@antooyachan oh my indeed. Just brilliant.

[SevynDivine]

@antooyachan

wooooooord...real speak

[tclassic3]

@antooyachan soooooooooo true

[1DonNazarite]

@antooyachan for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. the world is not flat my brother but round you dig. Check yourself and keep that positive energy in motion

[Jordanremix21]

@MzCappalot , meet the future of hip-hop.

[kylesags]

I feel J.Coles was a great song, but the original is far superior because Dilla was phenomenal and had the tempo already perfect.

[MEXICA84]

My intuition brought me here

[MrBabykedz1017]

I still think that Erykah Badu's version was way better than J Cole and J Dila's version

[Ph0netic1]

@MrBabykedz1017 haha both the Erykah and J Cole versions are J Dilla's versions because he made the beat hahaha

[FoolyCoolyfied]

thumbs up if your not a noob of neo soul and didnt need another video to take you here

[dhawk34]

THIS IS MUSIC!

[reaperdeadlikeme]

someone needs to make an instrumental to this and gone baby dont be long by erykah.

[rapmetalmistress]

someone needs to make the instrumental..

[JohnOzzySmith]

j dilla brought me here but i'm going to give the props to erykah. j dilla is on my top 3 but i think it's disrespectful cuz she can sing her ass off and you're talking about the beat. talk about dilla in the video with the instrumental!

[Ph0netic1]

Thumbs up if Your listening cuz Its a J Dilla Beat lol

[prophit06]

@Ph0netic1 The merger of the two was the magic brotha! Neither one is more important! They both put the sash down on this shit!

[aznammunition]

thumbs up if the 1 n only queen of NeoSoul Miss Erykah Badu brought u here!

[DJOTCUTS]

that sick ass bass line is what brought me here...love it!

[kenny22781]

nahh J dilla nrought me here, fuck a J. Cole, because he's the one who made the beat in the first place

[layleboo]

I'm SO HAPPY that J Cole got more people into this song. BUT this song made me like "Too Deep for The Intro" really in the first place! And his verses are just stunning. LOVE THESE ARTISTS!

[TTOPSIE]

@layleboo couldnt say it any better

[classycalimami]

sorry been on this since it first came out lol

[diandraNoelle]

<3 <3 <3

this song is soo soothing to me !

[kevinrules99]

i used to listen to this song when i was younger, but j.cole's music reminded me of this beat and song.

[Thedarksecret1]

Badu goes so hard.

[PdubzCrew]

J.Cole is cool

But J-DILLA made this beat...........I will always love the original...crazy how he did it too.

[byakugen]

Thumbs up if Dilla brought you here...

[voicesoflostpoets]

Check out the young ones talking about Cole brought them here when he probably grew up off of some Badu. HA.

[tonystark5151]

DILLA

[moneyisonmymindd]

Thumbs up if you hate when people ask for the "thumbs up"...lol.....P.S. I love this song!!!!!

[E8Gurrl]

What's all this talk about J Cole??

Bring yourself here because you enjoy soulful music and Erykah Badu..

Not because of a newbie rapper please.

[CharismaMonroe]

@E8Gurrl Exactly

[CharismaMonroe]

...this is not J.Cole's song though. It's J.Dilla's beat, Erykah's vocals. So go'on back to "Too Deep For the Intro" with that bs.

[smurfsgot1]

the breeze blew me here and imma enjoy this track
