This woman understood the struggle. Never changed on her people. Made music for us. Then our people called her crazy cause they didn't understand "themselves", Yet she never turned her back to us. I love this melanin enriched goddess.
Yes 🥰 it's not often that are women show's the beauty of just being the black goddist They truly our. So how are you to find the King in yourself.with a white washed woman.We are King 👑 not queens.just keeping it 💯 Love you all, Sisters and Brothers.
Man I really wish there was some type of documentary on just Erykah & Andre’s relationship at this time in ‘97.. Like I can feel their energy through the screen. This is like the most authentic aesthetic I’ve ever seen.
This song was my life at the time it came out. I was married to a good guy deep in the streets!!!! I tried and tried to get him to leave that life alone. I had money, diamonds, and cars but was living in a constant state of worry!!!! But I loved him strong!!!! Thank God for growth. Although we eventually divorced he managed to turn his life around for the sake of our baby girl!!! Thank you Erykah for singing me through one of the roughest times in life!!!
Well done for staying strong throughout all the challenges that you were presented. Good on you baby girl! Much kudos and respect to you honey. Keep doing what you are doing. Peace out to you Princess.❤❤

Erykah is such an underrated natural beauty in the mainstream. She makes it so fashionable to have full lips and afro texture hair. Am proud to have such features.
What I absolutely adore about this is how the most mundane things are elevated and we are invited to glimpse at life's simple yet beautiful moments like her wiping her face, a random kiss here, Andre opening the windows, her cutting a grapefruit/orange, Andre accidentally leaving the tap open 3:22 and so on. There is no studio budget that can buy that level of genius.
Our people are beautiful beyond measure! We come in all variations! I want all my SIStars to know, your Afro defies gravity. There is no other race that carries 9ether. Think of the image you are creating for your daughter, burning your hair on a daily basis, chemically processing and attaching hair that does not resemble your hair. I know many insecure girls and women. I was one of many. However, today 25/01/2020 I can say... l am a proud African Wombman, authentically ME! Self-Love is where I AM @. My town is Happiness. ~ I AM Beloved Positive-One
Marvin Paul right!! I caught the Lauren & 3000 look at the end. Just a quick question, who do u think influenced who 3000 influenced her or vice versa? Maybe their style was the same before knowing of each other, either way I think it’s dope. I just find things like that interesting, for instance, my gf was nvr into tennis shoes but after being w/ me for so long she kinda goes for the same look as me. She’s from outside of the city too so now the slang we use, she has picked up on from hearing me so much. To me, she’s a great budgeter & that’s the main thing I follow😂 Long story, less long i find it interesting how we imitate those we are around. Especially those we love & admire. An interesting tid bid to my question, I heard she had a few artist “whipped” & I wanna figure out the lore to her attraction. Besides looking like today’s cleopatra
@@dorenjackson1166 in one of the outkast songs, Andre says he saw a singer on stage with dreads similar to his. So lol they just so happened to meet each other with this hair style
+NemRaps So cozy and comfortable...I see myself floating along the California coast at midnight in a 69 drop top corvette...It's cold out...but this beat keeps me warm.
I'm 29 caught up in the streets, got a BEAUTIFUL woman & children who love me dearly and I swear this song just brought tears to my eyes because I know the risks and so want to get out of the game. The hustle gives us all a life we never had though so it's hard to leave but I know it's the right thing to do 😔 hopefully I do before it's too late 🙏🏾💫✨
In 1997 I was 9, I remember watching this with my cousins, loving the vibe. But now 34, I have a new appreciation, noticing things I never realized before. The sonogram from their baby 😍❤❤
Not many notice this mv was shot in ONE take simply because the genius direction and movement of both the camera and artists. Just beautifully and intelligently executed not to mention a masterpiece of a song and message
I just came home after 9+ years in VA.'s prison system & any one who knows me can tell you this song carried me throughout my bid. Now that I'm finally free, I'm seeing the"Other Side Of The Game" fa' real... to all those still in "the life", take time to realize & treasure your freedom & all that comes with it- your family & your loved ones especially
My mom used to play the live version of this album every Saturday while we were cleaning the house and now I do the same. Baduizm live is my favorite albums.
When she first appears in the video, she is so stunning and in the end when she takes off her scarf and lets her hair out you just ask yourself why is this lady so gorgeous .
_itsMyesha__ YES WE DO. BUT IT SEEMS LIKE THE BROTHERS TODAY IS NOT ON THAT PAGE WITH US. HOW CAN WE MAKE THEM KNOW THAT GOD CREATED US TO MATE UP. THEIR HEAD IS SOMEPLACE ELSE. THEY CANT RELATE TO WHAT WE NEED THEM TO DO. THEY MAKE IT SO HARD FOR US. STILL SINGLE AND FROM THE LOOKS OF THINGS, I'LL REMAIN. KNOWLEDGE IS POWER.
I come here every once in a while to wonder what on Earth happened to my culture? I was in college when this album hit. I thought the black community was in a Renaissance, we were seeing ourselves like THIS. It was beautiful. Thank you.
I love how all of her videos start with "A story by Erykah Badu", it's almost as if She let's us into her mind for the duration of the video, cause this is what she's imagining with this song. 👌🏻
THANK YOU!!! I'm so sick of these complaining about my Erykah, they say they would like it if they wanted to sleep. Me, Erykah Badu gets my day started on a good note so take y' all asses to sleep then......
Literally my favorite Erykah Badu song of all-time. I love how she conveys her relationship with Andre 3000 in this video. And to see her pregnant with their son, Seven. This was Literally the best pregnancy announcement
*It has been an eclipse. Yet the pleasure is all mines.* *Somehow your words are spiritually impactful in this season likewise as they were many many moons 🌟🌙 ago.*
Maaaaaaaaan, my mom used to play the shit out of this album when I was a kid. I remember her playing it all the time when we lived in Chicago during car rides. I've been a Badu fan every since then.
You gotta try listening to the slowed reverb version of this......wow it's is a WHOLE other level, jesus.....look for the video with a cube candle, a plant and a black background....that one ❤️🤌🏾🤌🏾
I don’t know if anyone else can hear or feel this, but Badu was playing with frequencies in this track. I kept feeling deep relaxation in my neck and shoulders throughout.
Witchcraft, her music puts people under a spell. Andre 3000, her baby daddy, and the guy in the video once said "I met a gypsy", he was talking about her.
Righttt but we ain't doin that no mo tho...atleast not on no dope boy shii we too grown with children and too much to lose ijs 😂 If he don't mind puttin me and my children in danger I don't mind letting him go cause I lost one to the streets and it ain't cute no mo when it hit close to home 💯
@@PatinaEdochie Yes...most of the women (like myself) went on to receive higher education (Bachelor’s, Master’s, Doctorate’s) and as far as those dope boys...they are either dead, in prison, OR completely reformed and living honest lives becoming active and productive members of society.
If you are referring to the video, it's not really beautiful and simple. The lyrics are "what we gonna do when they come for you (the cops)" so they can't really sustain that lifestyle which I assume is from illegal gains. It's the other side of "The game." Looks like their life is nice but there's no security or peace of mind because the cops can show up any time.
Call me strange but I only came here to hear her sing this verse: ♫ He gave me the life that I came to live. He gave me the song that I came to give. Pressure's on me but the seed has grown. I can't make it on my own. Summer came around and the flowers bloomed. He became the sun I became the moon. Precious gifts that we both received Or could this be make believe♫
Awesome bridge..Love that part too. As a side note, that apartment gives me so many ideas. Reminds me of my old bklyn digs, of course not that big! And it was my painted Red, black, green, (how my husband and I met). Just the creative touches everywhere.
Repeat after me: I am beautiful I am clever I am not dumb I am protected I will get good loyal friends I will find a good godly husband I am a billionaire I shall not fall asleep anymore and use out in opportunities.
One of the best videos EVER made depicting real love, and a peaceful, playful, nurturing home between a black man and woman. Friendship, synergy and commitment all in one!!! CLASSIC!!!!! I still just LOVE IT!!!!!!!💯😊😊😊

I know you much happier now. I'm happy you stepped away from that situation.
Did that really happen or did you get that scenario from some cliché r&b song or rap video?

What I absolutely adore about this is how the most mundane things are elevated and we are invited to glimpse at life's simple yet beautiful moments like her wiping her face, a random kiss here, Andre opening the windows, her cutting a grapefruit/orange, Andre accidentally leaving the tap open 3:22 and so on. There is no studio budget that can buy that level of genius.
YESSS
My people are beautiful in every way imaginable.

Take care of it will be sent to be there for the credentials for the running around with the chapter of the blooming in the morning
Still a hit in 2023!! Just went to her concert! She is unmatched. Her energy is eclectic!

The way you worded that has me dying
There is no black power without black love.
Literally my favorite Erykah Badu song of all-time. I love how she conveys her relationship with Andre 3000 in this video. And to see her pregnant with their son, Seven. This was Literally the best pregnancy announcement
23 years later, and that would stillll be a cool house to come home to
The physical adoration, connection, and eccentric flat of André Benjamin and Erykah Badu is what KEEPS ME COMING BACK!! GROUNDED and IN TUNE
Hey r u beautiful as your comment
It's been awhile since I ran into you in the comments but it's a blessing to see you still just as divine as you were back then💜💙
*It has been an eclipse. Yet the pleasure is all mines.*
*Somehow your words are spiritually impactful in this season likewise as they were many many moons 🌟🌙 ago.*
That was really their place? I figured it was a set but I could count on those 2 to be realer than the rest of “the industry”
I miss when people had soul. And had a soul. I look around now and everything’s so..surface level.
Her style is amazing
Pressure on me but the seed is grown, I can't make it on my own... She couldn't have said it better. Genius
Quarantine with Erykah Badu ANYONE?? 🎧
Boom, CLAP, Boom Clap Boom Clap....✌💃💪✊🙋
Always and forever
I got my babies hooked on this song, mind you they're 8 and 4 years old..😇🥰🤩🤩
I call this Cloudy Day music one of those chill days whrn u jys sit back relax with ur significant other

This song spoke ! Badu in my stereo in 2024!!!!
I’m sure 3 stacks and Erykah were deeply attracted to each other’s individuality which made them such a cohesive unit at the time
I don’t know if anyone else can hear or feel this, but Badu was playing with frequencies in this track. I kept feeling deep relaxation in my neck and shoulders throughout.
Facts facts 👌👌👌👌👌👌👌🌟
Most definitely
Witchcraft, her music puts people under a spell. Andre 3000, her baby daddy, and the guy in the video once said "I met a gypsy", he was talking about her.
This is true...I hear it...instant relaxation👍
So that’s where that release is from?
My God. They are both so beautiful to look at. Heroin for the eyes.
Concordo.
It kept me humble while I was hussling days! Peace and Blessings
Erykah badu is still one of the woman that stood up for the culture & sing it so we can understand what life like in music
Thats Andre 3000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was too young to appreciate this. But now.... but now i do.
Me too. Just heard her last night and now I'm hooked.
It’s crazy how their son looks exactly like Andre3000 today.
Jokes !
He could play his father if they ever did an outkast biopic
Seriously, sons never look like their dads!
👁👄👁
Yes ma am he does!
*He became the sun and I became the moon*
Miss Badu🖤GOD BLESS HER AND HER FAMILY✊🏾
I’ve always loved Erykah since I was a teenager. I am 45 now, I can definitely understand her songs now, they hit different.
Black females from the late 80s and 90s know what this song is ALL about. Most of us been through this situation...
Righttt but we ain't doin that no mo tho...atleast not on no dope boy shii we too grown with children and too much to lose ijs 😂 If he don't mind puttin me and my children in danger I don't mind letting him go cause I lost one to the streets and it ain't cute no mo when it hit close to home 💯

As an 18 y/o I wish life looked this beautiful and simple today.
Looks can be deceiving, they fought the same battles
O Swizzle yes me too luv, me too!
word but you can create it
If you are referring to the video, it's not really beautiful and simple. The lyrics are "what we gonna do when they come for you (the cops)" so they can't really sustain that lifestyle which I assume is from illegal gains. It's the other side of "The game." Looks like their life is nice but there's no security or peace of mind because the cops can show up any time.
Baby, it was chaos...back then...drugs and murders and love...nothing's changed...
I was today years old when I realised the guy on the video is Andre 3000, they were an iconic couple
14 years and still one of the greatest warnings to Hustlers..Thank you for creating this beautiful song it changed my life.
Call me strange but I only came here to hear her sing this verse:
♫ He gave me the life that I came to live. He gave me the song that I came to give. Pressure's on me but the seed has grown. I can't make it on my own. Summer came around and the flowers bloomed. He became the sun I became the moon. Precious gifts that we both received Or could this be make believe♫

I will get good loyal friends
I will find a good godly husband
I am a billionaire
I shall not fall asleep anymore and use out in opportunities.

Not at all !!!! lol I love this song
Yes!! Will always be my favorite song by her. Diamond 💎
That black, raw, Natural, love is goal.
💯👑💓
Her hair at the end is beautiful! That length always looks great... the way it jots out in various directions lol. Perfection.
Loved this song the very first time I heard it
I remember exactly where I was on 9/11 , and where I was he first time I heard on and on, she makes life worth living
