The one thing about her work that stands out is the absence of hate and cynicism, when she would have every reason to let that taint her art. Instead, she is full of humanity and hope and her music remains classic and timeless as a result.
for those who don't understand what the song is about, it's about hiphop selling out and being labeled as the music 'badboys' listen too..(to sum it up in a few words)
thumbs upp if you still listening to anthony hamilton erykah badu && kem. :) the great's i remember when i was young and my dad burnt me a cd with all of erykah badu songs every now & thenn i come back to her music just to have those moments i spent with my dad when i was little now we dont talk & when we do we argue butt one thing i do know we will always have this :) 5&6 yrs. old knowing every word to i cant stop loving you by kem. and lifetime by erykah lol :) ... theee good old days:)
Most probably won’t read this but I’ll still say it cuz I feel at least 1 person will. I'm a young queer-hop artist originating from Chi. I know there's a lot of artists out there but I feel like my music has a unique style and soul that can help push the voices of the LGBT community. Just need support to do it. If you just take a min I'll make you a believer. If anyone who reads this could press the "THUMBS UP" others will see it. Just a simple button push makes a huge difference. Much love:)
@JusJosh90 Why does ur sexual orientation matter wen i comes to making music. Jus produce music that is heart felt and posses meaning #I'm Just Saying
@tiff2q Is that a real question? Not being rude but for real? Turn on your radio, turn on your tv, and do the math and ask me if sexual orientation matters again. How many OPENLY LGBT artists do you hear everyday and then how mean hetero artists do you hear every day. White was all that mattered when blacks weren't on the charts and weren't given the same acknowledgement and respect just as LGBT artist, especially of COLOR who are in a white hetero male dominated world so yes, it matters.
@KendrydMorral I'm a MC who is trying my best to give a new image to hip hop especially on the female side of it. But I understand that I can't do it by myself. I need the help from others. If you have time, check out my "Keep the heART of Art beating" playlist on my channel, comment, and share it with others. Thank you :-).
MAN THIS VIDEO REMINDS ME AND BRINGS ME BACK TO MY CHILD HOOD MEMOS.. THOSE WERE THE BEST DAYS OF MY LIFE B4 I GREW UP TO THIS FUKED UP TWISTED DEMETED ROTTEN WORLD! :) HAVE A NICE DAY!! ~YUDITH.(5).~
I miss H.E.R. Hip-Hop went down hill went it got dirty in the South. *sigh* End product? Lil Wayne...come on bro you're 29. Don't you think it's time for a big boy name?
@CaterTheHater I'm a MC who is trying my best to give a new image to hip hop especially on the female side of it. But I understand that I can't do it by myself. I need the help from others. If you have time, check out my "Keep the heART of Art beating" playlist on my channel, comment, and share it with others. Thank you :-)..
and by the f---ing way where's the version of this video without those lame ass excerpts from the movie? and with freestyle battle with MC Lyte? why when I tried to posted some dickhead blocked it? It's much better in my subjective objective opinion.
@psyho98 Yeah your right. The Roland SP series are the samplers. However in this video Erykah is holding The Roland R-8 when she sings "feels like I sample true love." It bugs me because the R-8 only plays it's own drum sounds in a pattern and it does not allow you to sample. The Roland SP-1200 is the Sampler. You'd think Erykah would have known that. BTW I never knew about the SB-55, it looks pretty cool.
I think its Brown Sugar with Taye Diggs and Sanaa Lathan. not sure bout that particular part at 0.58, but i mean the beginning of this video "when did you fall in love with hip hop" is from that movie....lol anyways Brown Sugar :P
I love Erykah this is basically the female version of Common's I used to love H.E.R. which makes it oh so appropriate that she had him on the track. :)
The story is she (hip-hop) started with ambitious youngsters; underground. She exploded on the streets, everyone loved her. She started making money, hollywood notices her. (1:10). When hip-hop started to make big money, the industry, symbolized by the "crew", pressures her to contract. Hip-hop likes the fame. The one eye symbolism starts from there on out into the future. Pretty much a story of hip-hop selling out. =(
@MsDbone90 But in the end of the vid, when the kids meet her, she's stuck in the school bus. That most probs symbolises that she(hi-hop) now hangs in the balance, at the mercy of the new generation of kids. Which, by the looks of today's so called Hip-Hop, have completely transformed her for the worst! :(.
if you pay attention at 2:45 she is goin to sign a record contract then the black guy says not to do it. oh yea and the song is obviously about hiphop not some guy she loves

But it was "our" fault because we thought we needed the money... or so we thought? We sold out ... AGAIN ...same story ... it's like a broken record ... is there any hope for the black race ... when will we stop allowing ourselves to be victimized? when will we start becoming self-reliant? When will we stop hating oruselves? When will we wake up? Props to Spike Lee and Lawrence Fishburn for bringing this up in School Daze (Google Search or YouTube Search if you are unfamiliar).
now you got white kidz sayin' nigga this nigga that...all kinds of dumb stuff...rap was our way to express ourselves...to break down knowledge...to challenge the injustice of the world against the black race...it was also about fun .. and it was close to the streets. Looks like the real rap will stay underground ... in other words it will stay on the streets where it orginally came from ... and may never resurface again.
@luckerkd Maybe one day things will come full circle and it won't be all about the almighty dollar. Once Record Companies realized that they could make a profit off of it, that was it.
Erykah is very insightful in this video ... especially at the end...when she is the stereotypical hip hop DJ wit' the gold teeth (nice touch) providing the all white audience with the stereotype. Basically ... it's really funny what happened to rap when white folks ran wit' it ... it started out as our music ... but now it's their music .. and not ours to share ... I guess it struck me when I heard my music ... headed towards the door... and found out that "we" weren't invited.
Dam I'm 17 n I remember being a lil nigga watchin dis on brown sugarvdvd bonuses but the mc lute part made me me feel like crying or sum shit miss the old hip hop era smh
We're an independent label trying to make it in this game and the best way to do that is by being more known on youtube.One of the ways we stand out is we help unsigned artists get more fans by uploading their songs for a new fan base
You can change our future with one simple click.
Please thumbs up so other people can see this and check out our channel and comment with feedback if you like,also if you think we could improve.
If you like check the other artists we have over 80 vids up!

We're an independent label trying to make it in this game and the best way to do that is by being more known on youtube.One of the ways we stand out is we help unsigned artists get more fans by uploading their songs for a new fan base
You can change our future with one simple click.
Please thumbs up so other people can see this and check out our channel and comment with feedback if you like,also if you think we could improve.
If you like check the other artists we have over 80 vids up!
