Love The Roots, Erykah, and Jilly from Philly!! Originally Jill and The Roots did this song then they recorded it with Erykah. Both epic and a repeat of what they did for Dave Chappelle's Block Party.
Yo real talk I mean that's one of my favorite joints of the roots but man when Jill came out there and sung that will Erica yo Real Talk man I broke down man tears out of my eyes man because that's Jill Scott song originally and it's good to see all of them up there man just putting it down man that was a good moment....
It broke me down too Fitzroy... I waited all night for it & prayed they'd do right by Jill... it was a dream come true to see all of them do it with less tension than the block party!
These are the people who change the tone of my life in the way that matters. Damn. Where would I be without them? Thank you thank you thank you. ::kisses your hands & hearts::
July 6 made my summer. If I dont do anything else, I'm good. This show was awesome! The creativity, the positivity, the love...still feel it days later. Great vid, thanks
samajé Manuel you shut up devil 👹I know the truth being said is always bringing out you trolls who have no Spiritual relationship with the Father lol 😂
Ascalapha I don’t serve Jesus lol I am Not a Pagan Christian Inserve the true Redeemer Yahshua the Hebrew ( Brown dark Mashiach not some white Greek or Latin European made up Savior rotfl 😂
Jill Scott and Erykah on the same stage ....EPIC!!
The best hip hop band in history!
Porter Billingsley NO DOUBT!
is there another one? i think they are the only hip hop band.
+bobby adams Basically. I know that once upon a time, Public Enemy occasionally had some instrumentalists on stage, but not consistently.
Ummm I love the roots, seen them like six times but that title belongs to the beastie boys
Carlos M 😂😂😂
Jill has one of the BEST smile ever
Like, for real!!!
I just love Jills smile ☺

It was epic live
As I understand it,Jill wrote the chorus Erykah sang on the original track. To see them both sing it in person was epic .
Essence Fest 2018.. I was there and the show was on fire!! This was a fantastic mix of talent. The Roots, Erykah Badu and Jill Scott.
Yo real talk I mean that's one of my favorite joints of the roots but man when Jill came out there and sung that will Erica yo Real Talk man I broke down man tears out of my eyes man because that's Jill Scott song originally and it's good to see all of them up there man just putting it down man that was a good moment....
Fitzroy Muhammad really?? I didn't know that
I know the feeling. They were Awesome!!!!
Jill wrote the hook. Look up one of the live versions and she sings the hook on it but the actual studio recorded one is badu.
Brittany Johnson oh wow
It broke me down too Fitzroy... I waited all night for it & prayed they'd do right by Jill... it was a dream come true to see all of them do it with less tension than the block party!
A hip hop classic. Wish I was there.
Comic Power I was there..they were AMAZING!!!
Man I wish they would get Eve to perform this live with Jill Erykah and the Roots
YEEEeeeesSsss!
Wow !!!! (Beautiful) Amazing... Greatness & Dedication Love Love Love .
Finally got to see them perform. Damn. They did this song with Jasmine Sullivan. She is the only one that can follow these two.
I don't care how many times i grease this song and rendition, it never gets old and i never grow tired...my 2 sisters!!!
Im jealous of every person who got to witness this in person...lol
Anwar Uhuru yes!! I am over here green with envy

*BLACK Thought eatin good I see😀*
😩Need to take a good 💩💩💩 😂😂
IKR... (side eye to that stomach)
Eating real good lmao
Heaven Lee fat thought
Still Sexy!
Erykah looks high as hell
Heaven Lee she look crazy I'm.like wtf
Heaven Lee
She looks like she's confirming those witch rumors.
Lol lol lol😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Heaven Lee She doesnt smoke or drink.
Lotus Locs False. I saw her in a video about Facetiming her fans and she was smoking a blunt.
Erykah looks fine as hell
Erykah looks amazing. Rule goddess witch mother.
I think Jill is going threw something we don't see. 💜
I wish eryka would look fresh instead of a extra in the dark crystal. She's mad pretty
Caramel Gazelle Not the dark crystal movie!! LOLOLOL
Both ladies are beautiful! I'm a long time fan of both!
...its her style..why would you want her to be a follower and look like everyone else (a clone) ??
Caramel Gazelle tru but I think that's the point she wants to make
brit llove she looked fresh Before that's nothing new
Is this the gogo version and if so did the band essence make this???
Black thought infinitely get props for the Badu feature... name 5 artist with a Badu feature
I WANTED TO BE HERE SO BAD IM A NOLA NATIVE
Music too loud yu barely hear his words lol
ninosimone x the sound system was HORRIBLE!
What night was this because Jill was down here in the Atl Saturday night.
AJ Juicy Friday.
Shawn Arnold Oh ok that's what I guessed.
This was a noisy Big Hair mess but Jill just has the Smile that make it all okay.
Excellent iconic performance; however, the band is over powering the artists. Erica B. look demonic, high af, and immensely eccentric.
She rocking the “vintage” look these days. Reminds me of Kanye West’s fashion show last year. Vagabonds R’ Us
callaita
All Erykah needs is the cardboard sign😂
LMFAO
Kelly Austin IGNORANCE at its best
KRISTAL BARTLEY ignorant
If you dont respect this artist
Kelly Austin she looking like the gurl version Kendrick Lamar off Power
Erykah looks smellier than hell and greasy as a burrito. Jill has an infectious smile.
LMAO 😂ERIKA BADU LOOKING A HOT MESS😨, I HOPE SHE LOOKS BETTER WHEN I GO TO THE SUMMER MUSIC FESTIVAL IN AUGUST!
Now, Jill Scott has embarrassed herself with her microphone!
This is Jill Scott’s song. Lol she wrote it for Erykah. Jill is a classic legendary storyteller and voice though.
Why does erykah look like that tfff
them demons has a serious hold on her omg i see them she is looking mad scary yo
samajé Manuel you shut up devil 👹I know the truth being said is always bringing out you trolls who have no Spiritual relationship with the Father lol 😂
