Classic track from the "Bamboozled" sdtk. That whole sdtk was bangin'. Prince even contributed a song 2 that sdtk call "2045: Radical Man". Used 2 jam both trax extensively from that CD.
Like many remakes, this one is okay. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Erykah, but I grew up with Chaka. This song appeared on the Platinum selling album "Ask Rufus" in 1977. It was written by two of Chaka's co-band members, David "Hawk" Wolinski and Andre Fischer. Even Erykah herself has admitted Chaka is an EXTREMELY TOUGH act to follow.
"n0wave" I get your point on the beat it does distract from her voice because on the musical track with voice alone this would have hit the top of the charts I am sure it sounds so dam good....
Her voice is so perfect in this, I just wish they didn't make the drum track so loud/aggressive. It takes attention away from her amazing voice. Really when it comes to Badu, all I want is a soft musical track and leave the rest to her voice.
@Chengetai2005 Heard this before in the late 70tys sung by Chaka Kahn, she vocalized it first. Don't forget Chaka is erykah's idol, so it would fit that she sang some of her songs such as stay and this featured cut.
she kills it at 3:17!!!!

@Agogo57 This is a funky, up-beat version; the Rufus (original) version is so sad. has much more of an impact.
