YASSSSS!!!! Definitely 1 of the greats! He's in my top 5 lyricists. U should react to his freestyle on Sway in the morning. That shit was 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥U WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!!! I listen to it at least twice a week!
The vocals were written by Jill Scott and she was on the original version. The Studio replaced her with Badu because she was more of a name at the time. Also, thats Eve on the second verse.
Jill Scott & Eryka Badu join The Roots for a live version of this song on Dave Chappelle’s Block Party and its FIRE!! And yes, Jilly from Philly wrote the hook.
@Creepy People she didn't do a different part or version. She wrote it abd Erykah sang it. They talked about it again when they recently did their VERZUZ
Jill Scott originally wrote and sang the hook, but the record label made them re-record it with Badu. The label wanted somebody more well known to be in it and at the time Jill wasn’t known. All from Philly.
The roots are some of the best musicians in hip-hop and that's not debatable! You'll love this. Also I recommend, The Pharcyde - Runnin , The Pharcyde - passin' me by, Ahamed Lewis - Back in the day, Common - I used to love her
That was eve rapping. That was her first feature when she first started rapping. She hooked up with the roots because she was friends with Scott storch. He was a member of the roots when they recorded this song. He played the piano. He quit the band before they released the song. He went to California because he began working with dr dre on the chronic 2001 album. Thats why he doesn't come out in the video.
Jack, so you definitely need to react to Window Seat by Badu, Break You Off by The Roots Also watch Dave Chappelle's Block Party where both Jill and Badu doing the song together
The style of drumming quest was doing at the end is a Drum and Bass genre from the UK. Quest wanted the whole song to have that drum pattern but the label wasn’t having that either.
One of the all time great songs!! Simply beautiful! Other great songs by The Roots worth checking out: Break You Off (ft Musiq Soulchild) and The Seed (2.0) (featuring Cody Chesnutt)
Thank you young King for the love. Be sure to check out the live version from the Alive All Access show. Jill is so raw and well hearing this live is amazing. Nothing is better than hearing the melodic sounds live. It is different and then you can see which version you like most. Many blessings to your continued growth and Thank you for sharing your experiences with us. 💜
Did y’all see the debate on Twitter that started when someone said Drake was better than Thought??? It was clearly someone who didn’t know shit from apple butter.
This one always been a nice joint. THE ROOTS, they some talented brothas... Black Thought, very, very talented, poetic. I haven't heard this one here in a long while. Now I'm fixing to go listen to it.
The Roots are my favourite band of all time, across all genres. Nice to see them on the channel! Good catch on Eve's part. At the time she was known as Eve of Destruction, and the feature here is her first musical appearance. "You Got Me" is the first single from The Roots' fourth album, Things Fall Apart (1999); the song was written by Questlove, Black Thought, Scott Storch, and Jill Scott, with production by The Grand Wizzards & Scott Storch. It garnered The Roots and Erykah a Grammy Award for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group, peaked at #39 on the Hot 100 and at #11 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. Please react to: The Roots - The Fire (feat John Legend), Break You Off (feat Musiq Soulchild), The Seed (2.0) [feat Cody ChesnuTT] Erkyah Badu - Danger, Honey, Window Seat Zap Mama - Bandy Bandy (feat Erykah Badu) Q-Tip - Gettin' Up, Vivrant Thing, Breathe & Stop Talib Kweli - Get By, I Try (feat Mary J.

Its from the Roots Come Alive album.. please please y'all gotta check it. Im going to it now right after this, its that good. Peace.
Yea, that's Eve. She was signed to Dr. Dre at the time. Jill Scott actually wrote the hook and sang the hook before Erykah got on the project. She was actually the one singing it on tour, you can see live versions of it where she is singing....
Yes, Jack!!! Please, please get into The Internet. They are a group of incredibly talented individuals who make some of the best music ever. Thank us later.

Also, thats Eve on the second verse.
I didn’t know about the jill version until I saw the battles.
Jill Scott & Eryka Badu join The Roots for a live version of this song on Dave Chappelle’s Block Party and its FIRE!! And yes, Jilly from Philly wrote the hook.

@Creepy People she didn't do a different part or version. She wrote it abd Erykah sang it. They talked about it again when they recently did their VERZUZ

The woman rapping was EVE
You right
Common - The Light
D’angelo - Lady Remix
Erik Sermon - Music
Definitely, good list
Most definitely Erik sermon music🔥

They played a concert at my college senior year. They can play an-y-thing. Pure geniuses, the whole lot.
They way I yelled "Good Job" after you guessed Eve's voice right😩 You've come a long way😭😂
Omg this is my song. Erykah badu is one of my favorite singers ever. Her voice is gorgeous. Eve and black thought killed their verses.
I love this version as well as the one with Jill Scott.
That's Eve rapping 🔥🔥🔥
The hook was written by Jill Scott
So Jack when will you react to Jill Scott?
LETS GOOO!! next you should do SADE- LOVE IS STRONGER THAN PRIDE
Check the original live version with Jill Scott who originally sings with the Roots. Phenomenal.
Agreed!
Jahiem "Could It Be", Donell Jones "You Know What's Up". Love your reactions & you have a great ear for music young man.
Jezebel, Pearls, and Somebody Already Broke My Heart are the best LIVES!! 💜💯
Yess
Erykah Badu ft Stephen Marley 'In Love With You' also has an incredible vibe to it!
Also Sade 'King of Sorrow'. I think you would reallyyy love both😊
React to 'Break You Off' - The Roots f/ Musiq
That was eve rapping. That was her first feature when she first started rapping. She hooked up with the roots because she was friends with Scott storch. He was a member of the roots when they recorded this song. He played the piano. He quit the band before they released the song. He went to California because he began working with dr dre on the chronic 2001 album. Thats why he doesn't come out in the video.
Philly Stand Up✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
Philly is in the building!! 💙😊✌🏾
Jack, so you definitely need to react to Window Seat by Badu, Break You Off by The Roots
Also watch Dave Chappelle's Block Party where both Jill and Badu doing the song together
Yes to the block party!! So many great performances
What I always thought the video showed is that so many have lost their lives in the struggle but he laid down for her.
The style of drumming quest was doing at the end is a Drum and Bass genre from the UK. Quest wanted the whole song to have that drum pattern but the label wasn’t having that either.
Scott Storch/Roots on production. Jill Scott wrote the chorus
Too bad Scott Storch had so many issues. He is amazing.
The Roots is amazing. Black Thought (the one rapping) is underrated as an MC.
“Break You Off” by the Roots please😇
I don't know why this didn't cross my mind sooner but, "I Used To Love Her" by Common. One of the best story telling songs ever written. Easily.
Jack, Bruh-This is My ISH!!!!!! TU for reacting to This!!!💛💛💛
Yes, that’s Eve rapping.
Eve verse is so underrated on this...in fact EVE is a underrated legend period!
This song was my introduction to the great Scott Storch 🔥
One of the all time great songs!! Simply beautiful!
Other great songs by The Roots worth checking out: Break You Off (ft Musiq Soulchild) and The Seed (2.0) (featuring Cody Chesnutt)
The hook is legendary!!!
BABYFACE ft TONI BRAXTON, ROLLER COASTER" 💜❤️🔥one of my favorites. It's a VIBE...
This was my song definitely loved this area of hip hop growing up. Eve verse was a nice addition
React to Tyrese lately. And Brandy baby mama.

Thank you young King for the love. Be sure to check out the live version from the Alive All Access show. Jill is so raw and well hearing this live is amazing. Nothing is better than hearing the melodic sounds live. It is different and then you can see which version you like most. Many blessings to your continued growth and Thank you for sharing your experiences with us. 💜
Black Thought has a 12-minute freestyle a couple years ago. Definitely check that out.
Did y’all see the debate on Twitter that started when someone said Drake was better than Thought??? It was clearly someone who didn’t know shit from apple butter.
The live version with Jill Scott will bring tears to your eyes.
Jack great video! You should react to the Lost Boyz- “Renee” that song was definitely a 90s OG must have!
That female rapper is EVE
This one always been a nice joint. THE ROOTS, they some talented brothas... Black Thought, very, very talented, poetic. I haven't heard this one here in a long while. Now I'm fixing to go listen to it.
I always found this song so haunting. I love Erykah so much, and yes, she is absolutely gorgeous!
?Love went in on that drum solo. That breakdown in ridiculous!
YAAAAS!!! 🔥🔥🔥 The live with Jill Scott and The Roots is my fav concert rendition of this jam!! Love Erikah and Jill.😁

Black thought did a song with Jon b, I love it, it's called "Silver and Gold".!! You should do a review.
Jill Scott wrote the vocals and she was on the original track but they decided to replace her with Badu.. Eve is rapping on the second verse 🔥🔥🔥💕💕💕
It was supposed to be Jill Scott on the hook (she wrote it)! But there is an unreleased version with her on it.
This song was also produced by Scott Storch
