She’s saying, “If we were made in his image, then call us by our name. Most intellects do not believe in God, but they fear us, just the the same.” 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Baduizum was the bomb. Every song was deep, funky, just good. I wore out 3 cd's of that album. Playing it every day after work with my weed. It was the perfect unwind, get rid of the days pressures album to listen to. One of the best debut albums by a new artist.
Loved your reaction.!Please check out more Neo Soul : Musiq Soulchild, Floetry, Maxwell, D'Angelo, Raphael Saadiq, Jill Scott, India Arie , Ledisi , to name a few.
This was Erykah Badyu's introduction to the world and contained a number of references to the Five-Percent Nation philosophy, of which she was a member, along with Charlamagne the God, Queen Latifah, Rakim, Jay Z, Nas, Busta Rhymes, the Wu Tang Clan, Lord Jamal, the Poor Righteous Teachers, Intelligent Hoodlum, Daddy-O and of Stetsasonic and quite a few other rapperrs of that era. As you picked up, the reference to the Mother Ship comes from the Five-Percent's origin within the Nation of Islam (which also influenced Parliament/Funkadelic's reference to it as well as The Temptations' "Message to the Black Man" and numerous Public Enemy songs). She is known as the first lady of Neo-Soul. She also DJs under the name "Lo Down Loretta Brown". Before devoting herself to singing, she used to rap under the "Apples" alias, and was also a member of the hip-hop group "Def-Ones. Please also check out "Tyrone (Live!)" ruclips.net/video/YY2-mrsXgMM/видео.html, "Love of My Life (An Ode to Hip-Hop)" (featuring Common)" ruclips.net/video/dNk3R23Twgw/видео.html, "Funky Nassau" (from The Blues Brothers 2000 movie) ruclips.net/video/a94UB5sT1w0/видео.html and One" (featuring Busta Rhymes) ruclips.net/video/YoHCEM3tkWQ/видео.html. By the way, the movie you referenced was "What Men Want" (in which she played the voodoo princess you were so afraid of) and the song you were referring to was "Window Seat." With respect to the expression "we were made in God's image", we should understand he expression “MAN WAS CREATED IN GOD’S IMAGE” does not mean that man looks like God but that “when ALLAH created ADAM, He bestowed upon him some of His OWN QUALITIES such as LIFE, KNOWLEDGE, UNDERSTANDING, the capacity to SEE and HEAR, COMPASSION, MERCY, FORGIVENESS, HATE, LOVE and ANGER. There is no comparison between THE CREATOR and the created! Adam was created from MUD and his offspring is created from mixed male and female SEXUAL DISCHARGE. Man is BORN, he LIVES, he CRIES, has DESIRES, has SEXUAL RELATIONS and DIES, but ALLAH does not do ANY of these things, and He is neither MALE nor FEMALE. Man’s KNOWLEDGE is LIMITED but ALLAH’s knowledge is INFINITE; it encompasses His ENTIRE creation- both the SEEN and the UNSEEN. Man’s RULERSHIP is limited but ALLAH RULES, GUARDS, PROTECTS, FEEDS and PRESERVES His ENTIRE creation.” The use of SIMILAR TERMS does not necessarily imply SIMILARITY. “If we speak of the FOOT of an ANT and the foot of an ELEPHANT, we are speaking about things that share the SAME NAME but have DRASTICALLY DIFFERENT characteristics.” The foot of a HILL is completely different from the foot of a CATERPILLAR or the foot of a BED and likewise, the EYE of a HURRICANE or the eye of a NEEDLE are COMPLETELY DIFFERENT from what comes to mind when you speak about the EYE of a HUMAN BEING.
The sista is brilliant! she led me to read books on philosophy. I have learned a lot just by keying into some of her lyrics. New Ameryka will blow your mind! Momma’s Gun album was life for me when I was in my early 20’s I hope you try more of her music she is amazing!
Dude I watch a lot of reactions and yours was really dope to this song. I have listened to this and everything else she has put out since the jump and seen her live etc and I can tell you was starting to feel her essence. She is a total queen and an absolute gem of an artist - watching you discover this was pretty cool!
( Hey - Thanks 'Twon 👍✌️ - for the reaction - So, yeah, I gave UA a few great songs in that post, Macy Gray, Lauryn Hill, Alicia Keys. . . . I'm gonna also add DIGABLE PLANETS ... Add an earworm to this comment !
This is the most low key iykyk pro-black songs ever made. I dont do math, but the song has Supreme mathematics in it. The hook "if we're made in his image then call us (black people) by our names (gods and earths), most intellects (the man) do not believe in God but they fear us (black folks) just the same. (That's a f'n bar!!!)
You nailed it! She is, one beautiful human being. I know exactly what you mean. It’s a shame there aren’t more like her. In my opinion...she makes the world a better place, just by being here. “Tyrone”...She performs this song live. You should check that out. What I LOVE most about Erykah Badu. There’s no one out there like Erykah Badu. Her work never ages.
I honestly didn't know what she said at that part either until later in life. Literally so many lyrics were revealed to me once I became an adult and experienced some stuff. For some reason they sounded like words instead of some made up sound I was giving it as a kid lol.
She made the first underground 5% song! She spitting science! The Black man is God! The video is an interpolation of the movie "The Color Purple". The video throws people off from the real meaning of the song! This was super deep! On multiple levels!!
Lyrics are ,we were made in his image most intellectual don't belive in gods but the fear us just the same.tfyi her first album Baduisum is strait 🔥 🔥 the video,you saw with her walking naked was window seat.fyi this video was a remake of the Color Purple movie. I luv Erykah badu I agree she is a very beautiful woman and talented she sings writes rap,and as you said acts.check out her song Tyrone.
She’s saying, “If we were made in his image, then call us by our name. Most intellects do not believe in God, but they fear us, just the the same.” 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Yes we know...Black Hebrew Israelites believe that blacks are gods, and whites are devils. Racist much?
@@caseymurray7334 - What are you talking about and what does that have to do with her comment?
@@hiddenflower862 it went over your head. O well
She was everything... still is... Tyrone is my fave.
That's a tuune

Man... that smile on your face... you’re enjoying watching Erykah.... 😉. She is a great artist with a wonderful sound.
This falls under the Category of Neo Soul 😉. The other song u Recall is called , Window Seat. Badu's Entire Discography is like Food For The Soul.
YES! I love Erykah Badu and I never see anyone talking about her or reacting to her! Thank you. :)

I feel like this has gone over everyone's head for years. Cypher, 3 dollars and 6 dimes, "Yeah you may laugh because you did not do your math"
Check out 'Tyrone' by her - awesome and hilarious
Erykah Badu is a whole vibe. Listen to her Jill, Scott and Maxwell, my faves.
The song you were talking about is Window seat this video was supposed tbe like the color purple movie
The sista is brilliant! she led me to read books on philosophy. I have learned a lot just by keying into some of her lyrics. New Ameryka will blow your mind! Momma’s Gun album was life for me when I was in my early 20’s I hope you try more of her music she is amazing!
Erykah is deep!! Loved watching your reaction and grooving to this! This type of music is called Neo Soul! Check out her song "Next Lifetime"
Ok, now you've got me looking for more of Erykah's music!!
Dude I watch a lot of reactions and yours was really dope to this song. I have listened to this and everything else she has put out since the jump and seen her live etc and I can tell you was starting to feel her essence.

Yes all of the above bangers
Anthony Hamilton - Coming From Where I'm From.
Tyrone is where it’s at
Erykah Badu, awesome! "Back In the Day" is also fire. And check out her performances on Dave Chapelle's show as well as from his Block Party movie.
This is the most low key iykyk pro-black songs ever made. I dont do math, but the song has Supreme mathematics in it.

This song is off the album Baduizm. Check it out.
Omg Erykah Badu, 💕
I loved that Color Purple vibe in this video.
She's phenomenal. I love everything about the video.
I’m literally always surprised when folks aren’t familiar with Queen Badu fr but it’s beautiful to see her influence is still very strong
Her best - I think one of her best was "Next Lifetime" - I can listen to that smooth sound all day long!
This is Neo Soul at it's best
You nailed it!
She is, one beautiful human being.
I know exactly what you mean. It’s a shame there aren’t more like her.
In my opinion...she makes the world a better place, just by being here.
“Tyrone”...She performs this song live. You should check that out. What I LOVE most about Erykah Badu. There’s no one out there like Erykah Badu. Her work never ages.
Erykah is a very real sista. I love all of her music.
I honestly didn't know what she said at that part either until later in life. Literally so many lyrics were revealed to me once I became an adult and experienced some stuff. For some reason they sounded like words instead of some made up sound I was giving it as a kid lol.
This entire album is a game changer. BADUISM is one of the greatest albums of all time.
Listen to Digable Planets!! Cool Like That!

You need to react to "Tyrone"
If you haven't yet, please react to Bag Lady! I mean dang, so good.

Tyrone LIVE version is sooo good. Studio version isn't as good. Next lifetime is also great
The video was influenced by The Color Purple.... Ms.. Shug Avery
“Most intellects do not believe in god, but they fear us just the same.”
Twon you gotta catch "Tyrone"!!!
She lays it down!! 👊🔥

They fear is just the same.
It’s Soul music
Please listen to Tyrone and Other Side of the Game
This song is about 5% Nation black man n woman is Gods peace Earths n God's
If we were made in His image
Then call us by our names
Most intellects do not believe in God
But they fear us just the same.
She is amazing she even has an engineering degree if I’m not mistaken. 👍🏿
You need to revisit WINDOW SEAT, If you only remember comments about nudity you missed the WHOLE MEANING of the song.
The crucial message. 🤥
Most intellects do not believe in God but the fear is just the same
Erykah’s best song is a duet with the Roots, it’s called “You got me” definitely check it out
ode to hip hop you shuld listen to her in that pls

Bruh how u black n American n never hard this song☠️
She said, "If we were made in His image, then call us by our name. Most intellects do not believe in God but they fear us just the same." That's deep.
