[@209_jc9]

React to Joyner Lucas im not racist

[@jessicaclifton6829]

What is with you stating "you're not racist"?

[@MRLUTHOOOR]

Also. In the Supreme Alphabet, T is the "Truth or Square" Degree. So when she says "I think I need a cup of Tea" she's saying "A cup of T" or "a cup of truth"

[@chocolatetye797]

Amen!!!

[@Whvt.Channel]

The part where she says “damn, y’all feel that?” wasn’t supposed to be in the song but there was like a slight earthquake while recording and that was her real response but it fits! Ha

[@frontroom]

I love that detail too! I mention it to him when discussing that lyric in the video

[@mking3232]

I never knew that. Thanks for a little behind the music trivia. 💙

[@DREA7DREA7]

Never knew that. So dope!

[@memp9786]

Talk about divine timing! It’s one of the BEST adlibs in music, imo! I literally act it out everytime! And for the same reason that Khi thought she meant! 😅

[@cocoalaux4495]

That makes sense

[@gillianmcknight]

Jill Scott, Maxwell, D'Angelo... So much NeoSoul to explore with Dad. Loved this!

[@SilentC90]

The neo soul movement was crazy dope!!!

[@voodoosleeper]

Speak on it! Jill Scott is a revelation I'd love to see a reaction.

[@Noturavg82]

All 3, especially Jill. Add to that Can he do some Outkast, Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Raphael Saadi, Musiq Soulchild, The Roots, early John Legend, India.Arie, Corrine Bailey Rae, Floetry, Eric Roberson, Raheem DeVaughn, Goapele, Miguel, Jazmine Sullivan and even Jhene Aiko.

Has to be the live cut, the 12min one where each of the background gets their own moment.

Yes 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@jacentatisby9602]

Agreed

[@indivijewelthoughtz1150]

"maybe we'll be butterflies..."

[@EgunBiyi.OrisaYege]

And actually being born underwater …. Is referencing the number 2 principle in supreme mathematics. 2 is equivalent to wisdom which is symbolic to EXPERIENCE and WATER. Water takes on the shape of whatever vessel it’s poured into. She’s saying she was born underwater or born with wisdom … with 3 dollars and 6 dimes. 3 (Understanding) the 6 (Equality) of the 0 (Cipher) …. She is the CIPHER. But a cipher can be any person, place, or thing. Water is technically a cipher. That verse she’s singing about being born in the cipher of wisdom. So she understands the equality of her cipher. PEACE!

[@stephaniejones4749]

I love Erykah Badu's music. You got to do "Tyrone" I love that one

[@PrettySaditty1920]

An absolute MUST! I'm surprised it wasn't the first Badu reaction video.

[@singuensful]

@@PrettySaditty1920 I’m surprised too but that’s probably because it’s a Gen Z doing the research. The “ Tyrone” live version where she’s pregnant is a must to watch for any Eryka Badu fans.

[@stephaniejones4749]

@@PrettySaditty1920 me too

[@siobhanair2659]

Yes 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Jasmine-ot8br]

THE LIVE ONE !!! gotta hear the audience reaction!

[@ChrisDogan]

Heard her speak on the meaning of the "3 quarters and 6 dimes" bar, it refers to 360 degrees. She's an incredible lyricist

[@NikkiKNuvo]

“Born under Water” (in astrology) “with 3 dollars & 6 dimes.” 3.60 Also the Pisces fishies swim in a circle. Pisces is also the eldest (and therefore, wisest) of the energies, having experienced all 360 degrees of the life cycle. 💛 she is my Queen 😂✨

[@raisingvibration682]

I love this interpretation of this bar. Definitely going to keep this in mind every time I hear this song. Peace queen ✌️

[@boykinfly]

A circle❤

[@thedappermagician6905]

Also the divinity of the 3 and the 6, being 3 female and six (the sun) male.

[@vanburger]

I have a huge soft spot for Appletree off this album.. this album was my chillout album after raving around millennium time....such good vibes.

[@karenjcosme]

I wonder if Appletree was part of her creative process in her early use of apple garageband, I just can't recall the time frame. "You just don't wanna get down.!"

[@rickyricardoftw]

Yes! “What a groove.” Maxwell’s Urban Hang Suite should be on the list.

[@ParisVan-Del]

The phrase 'neo soul' was originally coined by Kedar Massenburg in the 1990s to describe a particular style that was born out of soul and R&B. Far more eclectic in its influences, neo soul fused its soul roots with funk, jazz, fusion, hip hop, pop, and African music. Individual artist infuse their poetry, and/or philosophical into each piece.

[@unknownrebelfilms]

Badu is one of the only people I've seen more than once in concert, and I usually have social anxiety in crowds but when I'm listening to her live, it's easy to just forget where I am, even her less smooth songs feel like that to me. . Beautiful artist and a beautiful song.

[@lilgail02]

everytime she comes to town I go see her.

[@TripSe7en_77]

Erykah is a Queen and her sound was a game changer. Will y’all EVER review Jill Scott though? I’ve seen Jill Scott requested for months. Have you considered giving her a chance?

[@kamikaze8645]

Kudos to this young man for having great taste in music. Love this channel, I always feel like I’m listening to the songs for the first time.

[@Strawberryfearsforever]

Mama's Gun definitely needs a whole moment. Jhene Aiko the should be on the Menu at some point.

Peace to you & your father. As a 5%er I appreciate that you actually did the knowledge and gather an understanding of the lyrics instead of blindly trying to explain without actually knowing. This song is dedicated to the Gods & Earths. So many of our teachings and language in the song, you only know if you know. Haha Glad you guys loved it. This channel is definitely a breath of fresh air. Loved e everything I've seen on the channel. Great job. Peace.

Any resources where I can learn more about 5% philosophy? I do t want to just randomly google because it might not all be authentic. Would appreciate any knowledge you can share, thank you so much!

[@johnsonluscious]

I seen a music videos of her explaining the line "I was born underwater with three dollars and six dimes" and she expressed that this was in reference too being in the womb underwater and 360 is about being complete

[@KPazzz]

Excellent choice! Badu is still a fave! Can’t wait for the Mama’s Gun album review…can’t wait to see pop’s reaction to “Green Eyes” 🔥

[@Camille4Real]

I echo this! "Green Eyes" is such a gem. I can't wait until the reaction 🔥🔥🔥

[@Keezie27]

Yes...a must listen!

[@j-us-t_be-in-g]

To add onto what you said about the "I was born under water with three dollars and six dimes " is that not only is pisces the last part of winter but also the ending of the zodiac cycle as it approaches 360 degrees...representing completion. As winter ends, the snow transmute into water...preparing the soil (metaphorically) and the seeds (metaphorically) within, with the water, for spring...the "springing" or "birth" of life.

[@hesmlurh2467]

Wow

[@Mzwilder2238]

I thought it was referncing the womb as we are all born, encapsulated 360° in the waters of the womb @@hesmlurh2467 @rayrey90

[@APR944]

E. Badu is possibly my fav artist of all time ✨ can’t wait for “Mama’s Gun”review especially “Green Eyes” that song always gets me. It transitions into four or more parts that could easily be solo. So beautiful 🤩

[@TripSe7en_77]

What I love about Green Eyes is how all three beat changes and vocal style changes reflects a different era of jazz.

[@NappturalReflection]

Green eyes takes the listener through such an emotional journey. I highly recommend that as a listen 💖

[@l.e.x.i.l.o.l.a]

Yes Geen Eyes is one of my favorites !,

[@k1988smith]

When I first heard the song, I was young enough to almost try and eat more vegetables to get green eyes!!

[@shamekastephens6688]

Green Eyes is great. Mama’s Gun is one of the most perfect albums ever. On regular rotation in our home.

[@LdyGrvvy]

Honestly, watching your father experience these songs for the first time truly allows me to experience them for the first time again.

[@KamandaHickey]

One of the first album that I bought as a teenager. Such a classic album🙌🏾

[@mrcgg1]

One of the most underrated Neo Soul albums is, Bilal 1st born second. PLEASE do a reaction to that album. I know your Dad will love it. Thanks! Keep the awesome videos coming. 🙏🏽😁

[@auraholyultimababybaby9367]

Pops! Erykah has this effect on men. On people lol. Yes we love her like crazy. One more thing on three dollars and six dimes, 360° is broken down into three. 120 knowledge, 120 wisdom and 120 understanding. Just another part of the 5% philosophy. Erykah is a queen. Y'all are two of the coolest on KZbin.

[@jasonrussell8088]

This album is part of my life's soundtrack. It's amazing how music can make you time travel. I feel like a wide eyed teenager all over again when I hear this song

[@silk.bones.333]

Gotta be one of the grooviest basslines of all time, so simple but one of my all time favs. Didn't Cha Know is up there for me too. I see you reacted to a Big KRIT song, please please PLEASE do a reaction to Bigger Picture by him. One of my favourite songs ever and it doesn't get nearly enough credit for how beautiful it is. The lyrics, the beat, the flows...basically a perfect song imo.

[@indivijewelthoughtz1150]

pisces is also a water sign = emotional, creative, other worldly.

[@drewdrew2172]

I’ve had this album on CD for almost 15 years sitting in my 90’s collecting. I love it.

No do your research

[@Sunny-tv5dm]

No, it was not! D'Angelo "Brown Sugar " was the first one. Released in 1995

[@chaneyanne32]

You have to do this whole album. Just love her

[@KharismaBrown]

Neo Soul is heavily influenced by jazz/blues. So a lot of Erykah Badu's intonations are like jazzy. She scats a lot in her music, and I love it.

[@black4pienus]

I prefer Baduizm live. That live album is amazing. So good. I saw her live in Amsterdam with the Mama's Gun tour. She's great live. Nothing of her later work beats her first album though imo. Btw on the Baduizm live album she also explains everything about the numbers and symbols.

[@RamonAcosta191]

This is one of my favorite albums of all time. Love your Reactions & reviews, always look forward to them. Keep doing your thing. I'm a forever fan.

She actually explained the "3 dollars and 6 dimes" on her "Live" album, before she started the song, "Ye-Yo". "It represents Life." - Erykah Badu ❤ OMFG that's also the album with "Tyrone" on it! You guys should react to that! 😂🤣

The 360 = complete circle. Meaning 360 degrees of life. Erika explained this represents the ankh or key of life is an ancient Egyptian hieroglyphic symbol used in Egyptian art and writing to represent the word for "life" and, by extension, as a symbol of life itself.
