  • phase - why

  • If They Were Gonna Get Someone Instead Of Erykah They Couldve Gotten Someone That Could Carry Erykah ! And If You Wanted A Diff Sound I Think Chrisette Michelle Woulda Did Wonders With This. ! AGREED?!

  • If They Were Gonna Get Someone Instead Of Erykah They Couldve Gotten Someone That Could Carry Erykah ! And If You Wanted A Diff Sound I Think Chrisette Michelle Woulda Did Wonders With This. ! AGREED?!

  • i dont see why Erykah Badu couldnt be here !

  • @BreezyLova

    Real talk. We have all these people shouting about keeping it real, but they drag this broad in from ENGLAND...all the girls in the background are all black...

    Yet John is with a white girl. Stop the B.S.

    Stop rocking an image with no content.

  • @mugenmultiverse i hearr daat !

  • beauty

  • just minor changes.. keep the HD quality to this video but remove Estelle and replace it for Jilly from Philly.. lol 

  • I like what Quest did to the beat. A little change made the song that much better.

  • fuck this L or Erica would have sounded WAY better

  • He just may be the best live rapper... very rare to hear a good live RAP performance.
