[TheDgirl47]

[jmh2689]

love, rain, down-on-me, love rain, down-on-me..love, rain, down-on-me....

[jillyfishyfishy]

Rain makes me think of my Minggay, and snuggling, and cuddling, and just lying in bed not doing anything... *sigh* And Mos Def has such a way with words that just melts your insides.

Lightning and thunder as a dowry? Clasp the constellations? May I please cover you? I don't think I've heard things half as beautiful as what he says in this song..

[Barit0nist]

LYRICS!!!! She made my heart beat in a now-now time signature... I said,"You are beautiful,distress of mathematics." I said,"For you, I would peel open the clouds like new fruit." And give you lightning and thunder as dowry I would make the sky shed all of its stars like rain I would clasp the constellations around your waist And I would make the heavens your cape And they would be please to cover you They would be pleased to cover you May I please,cover you, please!!

[EatinCactus]

I'm definitely going to her "summer block party" 2011...probably in NY

[yamumissamoan]

MOS DEF is too SMOOOOTH for the world to handle...thats why the music industry gives him to us in small doses!!......As for Jay Z??...wtf is that????

[th3oceanBlu]

and then she arrived, like daybreak inside a railway tunnel, like the new moon, like a diamond in the mines, like high noon to a drunkard..

[Catfishmagi]

[2423hop]

MY FIRST TIME HEARING THIS - ONE THING I KNOW IS- ITS GOING ON THE  i-POD TOUCH ASAP!

[TajhSutton]

Honestly? One of the flyest soul/ hip hop collabos of all time. Jill Scott and Mos Def remain 2 of the most under rated artists of our time..

[0hT3N]

i love this so much. i love her voice and delivery. and of course i gotta give mos def his props.

beautiful.

[Mrskmdumas12]

[espChris93]

Hot damn, Jill Scott is the female lyrical equivalent to Mos. Insanity whenever she speaks and on top of that she can belt out some soul

[pdul526]

*Sigh* poetry in motion. :D

[sisco249]

[areellebee]

@Zerta788 yea its basically neo soul- you should check out artist like Vivian Green, Ne-Yo, Angie Stone, Me'Shell NdegéOcello, Raheem DeVaugn are some of my favs.

[pdul526]

@Zerta788 Try Erykah Badu ;)

[topmodel5k]

@Zerta788 neo-soul...India Arie, Bilal, Talib Kweli, Jill Scott, Mos Def, Common, Angie Stone, Calvin Richardson, etc

[TheTayedrums]

"we all need love like we need blood and air-there is no pain in love-we make love painful..

."the more love music we pump into each others ears(from any genre-rock-jazz-soul-hip hop-funk )the more sensitive we become to each other

[jeshavine1]

[esoraidyl]

[Ongelique1Trick]

[critiquaz]

[elPAPIchulo613]

[ThaStylec]

WOW



[h95718]

YOU PEOPLE DONT EVEN KNOW WHAR YOUR FROM!! REAL TALK.... RESEARCH BLACK HEBREW ISRAELITE'S --- YASHARAHLA...

[007nibrina]

I love this song...........

[tonibraxtongirl]

Love this song<3!

[MissMonieBaby]

that right there is what my life is missing...

[donny13x]

a beautiful tragedy.

[TheaMonroe]

Man, this isn't just awesome melodic spoken word but also spoken soul communication...

Mos def & Jill got major skills. Soothing plus story-telling all in one.

[MrTelshia69]

wow....taking me back in the day...dope track!

[kiddodSTAR11]

man i thought mos def and jill scott were going to rap but this is awsome way better then what is on the radio i love it

[TheNoCoincidence]

why is a guy like mos not a superstar like jay -z? ...i mean...he is fucking fresh... a good actor..got swagger, funk, charisma,..is down to earth..hmmm jeah maybe because he is down to earth and don´t think he is god

[rsage82]

@TheNoCoincidence because people only know commercial music

[CharminIsBallin]

@TheNoCoincidence it's because he is to modest i think, plus he is to real for this industry!

[Jessepooh07]

@TheNoCoincidence i believe it because he's not out to loose the meaning of music... He jus doing what he loves because he loves it.. speaking truth that is relevant to him... not trying to please and change his style for the world... at least thats how im looking at it. why mos isnt as famous as jay-z lyrically mos has more to say.

[nikechiapas]

@TheNoCoincidence cuz mos def wont dumb down his lyrics like jay-z does.

[Onaku07]

@TheNoCoincidence because folks be on that illuminati gay z dick, but folks can't truly understand the message Mos Def be speaking! But remember kids like bullshit and we love that REAL MUSIC!!!

[melto42]

@TheNoCoincidence

Mos is a superstar! Who the fuk is Jay-Z?

[femaledancer1]

@TheNoCoincidence It is because most like to be called bitches and hoes and Mos Def has a much deeper volcabulary than that.

[sebske]

@TheNoCoincidence He isnt selling his soul for the money and fame thats whats up

Jay-z can eat a dick and drop dead.

this is music, not that bullshit on MTV

[onesistersoul]

@TheNoCoincidence QUESTION ASKED AND ANSWERED.. HE THINKS AS A TRUE MAN, HE CAN SEE THE JOB OF GOD AND DO NOT WANT IT..I AGREE WITH YOU

[EatinCactus]

@TheNoCoincidence I recently learned what 'HOVA" really meant when Jay-Z says it. It's meant to be a play on words so to speak. Jay-Hova...as in "savior to RAP music"...not "God". 

[andrewbowermusic]

@TheNoCoincidence Jay z's evil. thats why he got lost after the illuminattii shit... type in music industry exposed...

[Jsd8675]

@TheNoCoincidence You answered that question yourself.

[cocomaire]

@TheNoCoincidence because he's introverted.

[llyricallyric]

@TheNoCoincidence REAL RECOGNIZE REAL N I MOS DEF. FEEL U :P



[Lia14bl]

awesome!

[thaboiinblue]

It was songs/spoken word masterpieces like this (along with "The Thickness") that slowly but surely opened up my eyes to the power and beauty of true poetry; it's the stepping stone that lead to my own discovery as a poet. That's why I love Jill, and always will.

[docbaddoc]

The picture at the end was adorable....and then I saw Dmx.lol

[JillsWifey89]

I love this song...the poetry just gave me chills...I already love Jill Scott, hence the username, but Mos Def...he is...he is...that is all I can say about that. I wish there was a "Love It" option just for this song and this one alone.

[mcsuchnsuch]

i rather have the other version...no disrespect but this shit sounds like a McDonald breakfast sandwich commercial.

[runjumpdie]

@mcsuchnsuch I love this song, but your comment is cracking me up.

[Sk8great08]

I wanted to marry Jill Scott when I first seen her when I was young, lol she's very beautiful.

[shadyfireandflow]

does she say his boom and his...bitch?

[QuoteNotes16]

real music

[jennybunnyadore]

i think it means she was really into it and he at the end talkin about please please cover her...he is just as into her....its beautiful...souinds like they went slow and fast and they were high on love :) beautiful lyrics

[Kwizmatix]

Whichever take or perspective you take on this song... Jill Scott and Mos Def need to hook up for another one of these.

My personal take on this song is that Jill is explaining how deeply she fell for the brother, but it was a MISTAKE! Eventually she loses herself in his charm and he takes advantage of her. But, if you listen to her first verse about why she fell for him in the first place... You know that Mos Defs verse represents that to a T. He was deep and poetically charming and refreshing

[MrHannak]

i can listen to this over and over and over its too good;D

[sopretty72]

My perception of this video is that she is speakin of tha sweet way that they made love. A beautiful thing. They made delicious.... Then "The mistake was made love slipped from my lips dripped down my chin and landed in his lap"... Think about it. What position was she in and what was really slipping from her lips to land in his lap. IJS

[eir28]

Beautiful lyrics. Sums of exactly how one feels when the frequency vibrations are high in the mind light and synthesized with another- inspiration is drawn from the what is around us because perceptions change inevitable, to articulate our feelings. Love Jill Scott and Mosdef to no end

[changez07]

this is ART in fine form

[msrienne3d]

i think this song is about how jill fell in love with a great man. but then she gave him her all. he took her kindness for weekness, and she didn't realize it until it was to late. the same thing had happened to mos. he was sitting there deafeted. then along came jill, and he falls in love with her
