This woman is a Goddess. Black Queen! I am a White Queen (more precisely, Red Queen in Alice and Wonderland) but I give MAD RESPECT to this woman...any one disrespect her they have ME to deal with...
One of the most amazing voices iv heard..shes so effortless in her soulful voice its simply beautiful. Some friends of mine saw her live, im so gutted i couldnt go :-( oh well one day in the future hopefully i will! The whole track is amazing, the beat and bass is so slick. pure Bliss!! :-)
what she is talking about is the 5%er's and their beliefs with regards to where life began and who the orginal man/women was. Gods is referring to the black man and earth's refers to the black women. so when she says we are gods call us by our names she is meaning that we were the original creation and life began with the blackman. look it up it's lots of truth behind what she is saying...
@Slimpimp321 Actually, the Nation Of Islam (you know, Farrakhan and them) were the first to talk of the Black man being God. They've been teaching that since the 1930's. The five per centers got that knowledge from the Nation Of Islam (the founder of the five per cent nation, Clarence 13X, was a member of the Nation before he broke off and decided to do his own thing.)
she is not talking about weed lol shes talking about knowledge. most americans are not knowledgeable. sum ppl dont believe in God but they fear black ppl like we fear God. deep song
@trulydabaddest How right you are man. It's so sad seriously. Shaking my big ass head.. But great deep song.. Sad most of the people who like it don't even understand it.
It's very simple. God is real, we are all GOD because we are part of His Mind...the consciousness of the Godhead...call us by our names means our Angelic names when we were in Heaven with God at the beginning of time...ON and ON means that we keep coming back to Earth for relearning lessons and reincarnation...She is coming down from high on cannabis...she said don't' feed her HUMAN food because only God can feed us Eternal life...The Mothership means God is really an Alien
@bargainmom There will be soo many belief systems that people on this earth will convert to achieve that level of comfortability in these Last Days. From "Evolution Theories, Atheistic Views, Right Down To... "WE ARE GOD?" Come on now... "I'M A CONFESSED SINNER AND I KNOW JESUS IS THE KEY."
Heard this first in '96 while serving in the Army in Hawaii.....classic.....soul....blues....represents our history in this country and in the Motherland....
@Melodiusrose when you write out three dollars and six dimes numerically it is $3.60 and she's referring to it as a 360 meaning on and on... its kinda hard to explain listen to the song again you'll get it lol
@hundredkid Hang in there, Kid. Checking out is never an option, no matter how you feel. If Erykah does that to you, pick a new song & new artist! India Arie or Stevie Wonder, for instance. Positivity!

LOL ^ .. this what brought me to here, my sista and brother played all these old people music, erykah, maxwell, the fugees, ect. this is how I know all of thi good music and be jammin to it like tomrrow don't excist. good times, good music.
hey im only 18 and i make music for every one to listen to and relate, so whenever you have the time please check out my channel, and tell me what you think...thanks for your time
I preffer a singer so far to being the star in aundience dominance by...If everybody is focused in Rihana or Beyonce THATS GREAT! thats the chance to dismissed all those person grooving with that stupid people. Erykah is a true artist, a great singer outta pop/glossy worls, she no needs to make any "rare" alliance or duo with pitbull or any other rapper, this is the true!!!
some things in life we fail to find the avenue to fully discover our aim...these wings of freedom can be found within the words of another and incorporate our own searching to 360 the energy to free us all.... just listen contribute and spread your freedom wings....fly on little wing on and fly away Julia LaNee
DAMN! This brings back so many memories...growing up a 90's baby. Chillin' in the back seat vibing while my mom drives me to elementary school. Good times and great song! This is when people truly made Music and not this rap SHIT that you just bounce ya ass to! -___-
Back in the day that bag lady gave me some honey she was the love of my life somebody told me to call tyrone cause Annie dont wear panties i knew this by the window seat and i kept going on and on :)
im 21 and i hate commercial artists and love originals like erykah, al green, james brown, jimi hendrix, etc. ya feel me?? its all about real music in my world :)
@liltugo I've been tryin to figure that out for the longest...$3.00 = 300, 6 dimes =60....360 degrees of the original knowledge of the black race...makes sense but most wouldnt understand it
I was 20 when this came out *1997*..Hip-Hop was so alive back in Golden Era..So with that said..what's wrong with the younger folks today..if we could recognize good soulful music back then in our generation..why can't they now?...everywhere i look online..twitter,facebook,blogs, etc..i see females making references to being Barbies..whatever happen to wanting to be Queens?............Shit done Got Wack!
i am a HUGE erykah badu fan!! i been listing to her for years now and i truly believe that unless you are jumping around with your breast all out and shit, than society considers you to not really be of any means, but honestly erykah badu is the queen of r&b/soul in my eyes so today's generations of inspiring artist need to sit back and take notes!
It's sad what this generation's of kids are listening to and the black ignorant artist who call them selves role models are being rewarded, I wish we could put the focus on more black artist like Erykah instead of Beyonce and Rihanna because I'm not sure what their actually teaching our kids should I say us kids.I'm 20 years so i'm still pretty much still a kid and I'm soo happy I dont follow this stupid music they put out their today...
@TylerluvShakira yeah i know what your saying, but i doo listen to those other artists but i dont consider them a role model, i mean im 17 and im in high school still so of course im gonna listen to them but i also like to other artists like thiss.
No, no, listen to just what u put on youtube. I respect her music and like the flow, but any woman who goes to a memorial park and strips off her clothes in front of decent people including children, is wrong. I felt like she was desperate to get ratings on her record and not only that people are changing so im not gonna be suprised if a star is doing something out the norm.
@girlygurl3456 You need to read comments more clearly and think about what u post before u post them, I'm saying now days african americans in the entertainment industry are rewarded for displaying ignorance and other negative things and our black children are brainwashed and told to be have like that and we're lacking intelligent african americans who teach who we really are: strong, sophisticated, unique & mainly royal people. There's so much I want to say so people can understand me...
@TylerluvShakira I was talking about the ''teaching'' part. Who says music has to teach anyone?. It was meant for listening and enjoying not inferring. P.S. There's no such thing as stupid music.
@TylerluvShakira I know EXACTLY what you are talking about and where your taking it. I'm a 21 year old black male. I broke it down just yesterday for someone because they misinterpreted the part when she said if we were made in his image, then call us by our name. We are ALL kings. That's why the bible says that GOD is the king of kings. Aside from that, your right when you say today's music is brainwashing our children. The music today is made for one intent and that is to keep our mind at bay.
@TylerluvShakira They do not what our minds wondering tooo far so they put all of this "technology" in our face. It's all in our media. If you wanted to control a society, what would you have to have control over? Something that EVERYBODY uses........... the media. Our news, movies, music, shows are all geared to keep the mind at bay. It's set up to keep make the rich richer and the poor poorer. If you were rich, wouldn't want to stay rich? If you were rich wouldn't you have a lot of rich friend
@TylerluvShakira They got evidence all in our face. Bilderberg group, Rosicrucian's, Free mason's and the list goes on. These guys get together and yes some are very rich and powerful and the devise a plan that will keep them in power and rich. They run the government, banks, media and food industry. The very way we live our lives is controlled. Thats why I listen to Erykah because she doesn't write her music under those constraints. She is a very down to earth person with a higher knowledge of
@TylerluvShakira life and wisdom. She's a very intellectual person and you can tell that easily by her music. See, they have our minds so f'd up that we cant decipher good music from bad so we choose the bad because that's what we're made to believe is good music. girlygurl3456, there is such as "stupid music", I hear it every time Iisten to Wacka Flocka's new mixtapes. Pure stupidity to the max. Lyrics don't even make a metaphor or rhyme and we just rocking our heads to it like it's cool, smh.
@TylerluvShakira It totally agree with you. I just turned 22 and I can honestly say that I've seen one hell of a change in music. Im just happy I was born in 89
@TylerluvShakira Music has shifted over the years thats why the 70s 80 90s are the best years we wouldnt want to take that away ... We want to escape in those years ... So we need to appreciate the music now and not wreck it thats why we have those artist today
@JohnOzzySmith Yo, he ain't a racist. He's saying the focus should be on black artists who actually sing about things that matter--the types of things, in fact, that Badu sings about.
Keep preaching the truth.. I am so tired and sick of all these African American women mostly known for their LOOKS and not for their MUSIC which is not even QUALITY any way get more accolades than artists like Erykah, Jill, India.. they exactly write, arrange and make GOOD QUALITY music.. we as the consumer need to STOP allowing the media to brainwash us with these false idols and taking are money.. music.. REAL MUSIC is more important than IMAGE.. this coming from a 19 yr old
@TylerluvShakira True that, I love the message that a lot of underground hiphop/soul spreads out (not talking about the gangsterstuff, but the being real stuff) and I am SO. FUCKIN. HAPPY. I dont listen to commercial shite :)
@TylerluvShakira not that i dont enjoy jamn to sum of the artists u mentioned, but i totally hear u, its ok to jam to but listening to is another story
Thats were 5 simple clicks and they get quality music like this. It would be a big deal if kids didn't have access to this music. but we do. it sup to us to make this choice to listen.@TylerluvShakira

@ebonyok21 she tried to make a statement against the fear of your own bodie...there is nothing to fear..
selfalienation increases from that...mindcontrol...propaganda..religion..
nudity harms no one..only the ones that learned different...unnatural behave..
no?
everyone should try to break this concept..that's healthier..the moment you blame someone for that kind of freedom-the control sets in..

@girlygurl3456 You need to read comments more clearly and think about what u post before u post them, I'm saying now days african americans in the entertainment industry are rewarded for displaying ignorance and other negative things and our black children are brainwashed and told to be have like that and we're lacking intelligent african americans who teach who we really are: strong, sophisticated, unique & mainly royal people. There's so much I want to say so people can understand me...

@TylerluvShakira I was talking about the ''teaching'' part. Who says music has to teach anyone?. It was meant for listening and enjoying not inferring. P.S. There's no such thing as stupid music.

@TylerluvShakira I know EXACTLY what you are talking about and where your taking it. I'm a 21 year old black male. I broke it down just yesterday for someone because they misinterpreted the part when she said if we were made in his image, then call us by our name. We are ALL kings. That's why the bible says that GOD is the king of kings. Aside from that, your right when you say today's music is brainwashing our children. The music today is made for one intent and that is to keep our mind at bay.

@TylerluvShakira They do not what our minds wondering tooo far so they put all of this "technology" in our face. It's all in our media. If you wanted to control a society, what would you have to have control over? Something that EVERYBODY uses........... the media. Our news, movies, music, shows are all geared to keep the mind at bay. It's set up to keep make the rich richer and the poor poorer. If you were rich, wouldn't want to stay rich? If you were rich wouldn't you have a lot of rich friend

@TylerluvShakira They got evidence all in our face. Bilderberg group, Rosicrucian's, Free mason's and the list goes on. These guys get together and yes some are very rich and powerful and the devise a plan that will keep them in power and rich. They run the government, banks, media and food industry. The very way we live our lives is controlled. Thats why I listen to Erykah because she doesn't write her music under those constraints. She is a very down to earth person with a higher knowledge of

@TylerluvShakira life and wisdom. She's a very intellectual person and you can tell that easily by her music. See, they have our minds so f'd up that we cant decipher good music from bad so we choose the bad because that's what we're made to believe is good music. girlygurl3456, there is such as "stupid music", I hear it every time Iisten to Wacka Flocka's new mixtapes. Pure stupidity to the max. Lyrics don't even make a metaphor or rhyme and we just rocking our heads to it like it's cool, smh.

@JohnOzzySmith Yo, he ain't a racist. He's saying the focus should be on black artists who actually sing about things that matter--the types of things, in fact, that Badu sings about.

Keep preaching the truth.. I am so tired and sick of all these African American women mostly known for their LOOKS and not for their MUSIC which is not even QUALITY any way get more accolades than artists like Erykah, Jill, India.. they exactly write, arrange and make GOOD QUALITY music.. we as the consumer need to STOP allowing the media to brainwash us with these false idols and taking are money.. music.. REAL MUSIC is more important than IMAGE.. this coming from a 19 yr old
