25 Yr Old Reacts To The Roots - You Got Me ft. Erykah Badu

[@IceManLikeGervin]

Jill Scott was the original singer on the song but the record label wanted a bigger name... Eve, before she blew up, is the female rapper on the song.

[@loccdogg26]

There is a 3 cd 💿 box set titled "Do This Well" and that version is on it.

[@HeWhoShallNotBeShamed]

There's a live version where the roots bring Jill up to sing this song. It's really good. Her live albums are worth a listen as well because she is a super talented artist.

[@Bigmixx2]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/pHi1q5ywppmKjcksi=t871w_iNjCGqa5SU This is a live version with Jill and Erykah

[@empire7179]

I don't get it because Jill Scott was just as big as Erykah Badu at that time

[@ppuckette100]

Jill Scott did it better

[@sorbonnien6]

Pete Rock and CL Smooth they Reminisce would blow your mind...

[@AshaBlack-wy3ol]

That's a mind blower

[@MaryJaneBurns]

Nephew, the man in the drums is ?uestLove. He’s a part of the roots and he’s a very big deal. ❤

[@OhioPlayas]

Let's change it up a little and review some Soul II Soul Back To Life and get into them roots of Neo Soul R&B

[@eddied80]

The female emcee on this joint is none other than Eve who was down with DMX & Ruff Ryders.

[@rlhii1976]

The Black Thought freestyle got us here! Salute Boogie ✊🏾!!!

[@robertchavez8045]

I don't think he realized that is Black Thought back in the day!

[@newbuck319]

Fugees - "Ready Or Not", D'Angelo ft. AZ - "Lady(DJ Premier Remix)", Method Man ft. Mary J. Blige - "All I Need(Razor Sharp Remix)"

[@JasonWalters.]

This man just call QUEST LOVE Afroman. Uncle Murda voice crazy crazy this shit crazy.

[@brandonsykes8198]

The guy with the hair on the drums is Quest Love

[@bictor07801]

Erykah Badu - One of the most talented women ever! Smart woman too. She has kids with 3 influential emcees in hip hop. Andre 3000, The DOC (who you just reacted too on the other channel) and Jay Electronica.

[@americanow4290]

Now you're cooking with Fish Grease !!! The one and only Roots Crew. 215 Stand Up !!!

[@vincentforbes3149]

Jill Scott was the original vocalist on this song (Philly connect)

[@jaygatling1977]

Eve on the rhyme

[@kazesmith727]

This around when every label wanted to sign a Philly artist

[@preciselogic]

Eve was the woman rappin in this video. This would've been her introduction to the game. They gave her the wrong date for the video shoot and she missed the video. Eve ended up blowing up anyway. She was the lady emcee in Ruff Ryderz.. oh yeah, that's Black Thought. He's the one that did that 10 min freestyle you covered.

[@gino88]

Too few reactors do The Roots. Keep them coming. “Adrenaline” is the banger with some guest Emcees including Beanie Siegel’s debut.

[@dwyermckeith5423]

Yo Boogie! Dude with the afro is Questlove. The longtime drummer with the Roots.

[@BAD46660]

Philly in the house ❤ The Roots Love to Erykah, she is a goddess❤

[@smiggyball]

❤ 215 yrs sir!

[@michaelmayzick2179]

That's Quest love with afro on drums and Black thought rhyming

[@MentuSun]

Boogie you know thats Black Thought from the 10 minute freestyle I sent you, he is the lead rapper of the Roots

[@docabj8097]

Is that Afro Man? Oh my lord, I hope and pray this gets back to Questo. He'd fall out laughing!😂

[@joshuatmanion8010]

That breakdown at the end gives me chills every time

[@lovdlyon]

Btw That's black thought from the freestyle the other day!

[@darylebryant6402]

Black Thought is a straight up MC 🔥

[@GhostfaceLouis]

The Legendry Roots Crew Blk Thought Elite MC

[@Chaklit_Thunda_220]

The lady rapping is Eve.

[@gerqoinebrown6196]

Black Thought from the roots, Quest love is the one with the afro, he's the drummer of the roots, Black Thought comes from the roots, flawless lyricsist

[@bmoretone]

People forget that The Roots were actually a band. Most of their song were made with real instruments that the group played.

[@richietwinz6824]

Fun fact - the hook was written by and performed by Jill Scott at live shows. The female MC spittin was EVE, her and Jill both from Philly where the roots come from. The drummer with the afro is Questlove.

[@TYBO-xl1xz]

Erykah Badu/ Next Lifetime

[@tyseemahbishop6123]

Her and Jill Scott were my favorites back in the day!!!❤❤😂😂😂😂

[@Bigfoss1977]

I’ve been bumping this album on my playlist since day 1 🔥💯🔊🔊

[@blocSonic]

You def need to check out Erykah Badu’s debut single "On & On"… the groove is 🔥

[@black4pienus]

I've got 4 Badu albums. She's great. Also got 2 Roots albums. This song was what got me into them.

[@marcosgarcia25]

Check out the Roots feat Dice Raw - “The lesson PT 1” 🔥🔥🔥

[@loccdogg26]

And that's when I became a fan

[@docabj8097]

All day!

[@wpch1]

Wow.. great song for real … brings bak memories …. MF DOOM

[@vincentdeese8779]

The drummer is Qwest Love

[@DJ_Katone]

I chuckled when he said “Is that Afro Man. “

[@vincentdeese8779]

@@DJ_Katone me too. I had to put him back on the right path for his quest for knowledge. lol.

[@AliMcBride-r7i]

Not sure if you've made the connection yet but the MC that you watched doing a Freestyle on Funkmaster Flex (Black Thought) is the lead MC on this song as well. Black Thought is the lead MC for the group The Roots.

[@fishegg808]

Erykah is a Goddess and I won't accept any arguments otherwise. Looks like our young blood needs to learn about Questlove and the rest of the Soulquarians...

[@jasonito23]

Yep. He kills me when he asks questions like "Is that Afro-man?" Dude: Questlove. But that shows that these may be authentic reactions.

[@ernestotorres2802]

I appreciate it the way you keep it REAL, SHE AIN'T GIVE YOU NO PLAY AT ALL, NATHAN 😂

Oh.. Badu. Queen. Plain and simple.

[@kimberlybecoatstudio7020]

You gotta do The Fugees w/ Lauryn Hill - Killing Me Softly And Ready or Not

[@loccdogg26]

[@leeblack2103]

@ImBoogie , Jill Scott had a big hand in the creation of this song.

[@smiggyball]

The Black Lily in full effect! Damn I miss that time and that place.

[@darrylwatkins2335]

Omg! The creativity that came outta there! My wife got to share a stage with Jill Scott and drop bars, both freestyling. Once in a lifetime experiences!

[@d.bizindahooousedwayneboat6464]

[@empyrealone]

Second verse is Eve, then known as Eve of Destruction

[@neroe2843]

This is such a banger. Brings so many memories. Miss the days of good hip-hop.

[@Savagelyfe_ENT666]

[@michaelrafales2782]

Such a classic, great song

[@algram8541]

Seen them preform this is Philly. It was a movie 🍿

[@tinochiappelli206]

This is such a great song and the 'Me Teines' remix of this with the Spanish flavor is so dope. It's worth a listen too.

[@preciselogic]

Eve was the woman rappin in this video. This would've been her introduction to the game. They gave her the wrong date for the video shoot and she missed the video. Eve ended up blowing up anyway. She was the lady emcee in Ruff Ryderz..

[@therefixframeuproduction1093]

Now you going there?, well check ANYTHING from same album "Things Fall Apart"(1999) and The "Illadelph Halflife"(1996) "Phrenology"(2003) albums.💯🔥

[@GraySonson]

The Legendary Roots Crew 🔥

[@lolow1977]

The Roots are the only rap group that I know of who play live instruments for all their songs.

[@darrylwatkins2335]

And all have degrees in music!

[@darrylwatkins2335]

My guy, I am really enjoying your reviews. I love to see you falling in love with Hiphop. And to see the way you honor my Mt. Rushmore (Kool G Rap, Rakim, Big Daddy Kane, and KRS-One with Andre 3k as honorable mention) so soon in your journey lets me know I came across the right guy doing this job. That said, have you reviewed Biggie ft. Bone Thuggz and Harmony “Notorious Thugs” yet? I’ll keep an eye out for that one. P.S. hug your mom, daily… she raised you right. Btw, that’s Eve rapping the female’s part on You Got Me.

[@ridewithfionn]

Love this song 🕺

[@ryrilo5078]

You do know Erykah is old enough to be your mama...😄

[@goforbroke6026]

Your stories are hilarious

[@rodneycarter7661]

Let me hear some Scarface “I seen a man die “🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@evilmicah]

very drum and bass nearly 2 step beat on this. This and "next lifetime" are probably the only two Erykah Badu I can name.

[@SydRetroFoodie]

On and on I think was her first banger

[@lexflex81]

More earlyJungle than DnB actually. The sound is a bit crisper/less sequenced than the DnB sound. See Questlove's story about hearing M Beat's Sweet Love in a London club for the first time

[@DrBisharaWilson]

Ya girl Badu got kids by Andre 3000, the D.O.C., and Jay Electtonica. She got that biblical!

[@garybrown2209]

That's Black Thought in the 90's 'the 10 minute freestyle'

[@ManoOne-Music-Production]

Your reaction to seeing her eyes was amazing

[@empire7179]

I remember the day they did this video. When they was in the Projects that project is Tompkins Projects in Brooklyn down the block from Marcy Projects where Jay Z is from. I was going to work and they said I can lay down on the ground too but I said nah I have to get to work. The streets where the band was at those Stores are no longer there., it's just one big apartment building. Gentrification took over that. And they had a City bus out there that had the Bronx on it??? I said what's that about this is Bed- Stuy Brooklyn. But I got a chance to meet Erykah Badu before I jetted off to work. You know I had to tell my co-workers what just happened.😎👍🏽✌🏽

[@jah100100]

LOL love the reaction!

[@chrisinmontreal]

Another classic banger

[@Bigfoss1977]

I was really happy when I got this on cassette I thought I was the man 🤣

[@blairamani38]
