Dad calls Erykah Badu - Didn't Cha Know "EXQUISITE!" | First Reaction

[@keepcastin2710]

This is healing to watch as a black man! I have watched almost every episode in less than 12 hours. Black culture is not passed down through wealth it’s passed down through Art all be it music, food, or clothes. This is how we bridge the gap this channel needs to be on TV. PLEASE KEEP GOING THIS IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN YOU KNOW!!!!

[@kimme857]

Thats so awesome and I agree it's more than they realise ... I don't always agree with what they say, but I'm always agreeable with how they say it. Everything is about "taking it in" with spirit of learning, ovastanding, and enjoying. They truly Listen and experience with appreciation. And they're honest.

If I may make a suggestion, I suggest “Green Eyes” by Erykah Badu 💚. She explains the challenges of seeing your previous love with a new person. The 10 minute song is basically three songs in one. Each one representing a new stage of grief.

That's my favorite song from mamas gun. I say if you can't appreciate her 10 plus mins songs you're not a fan... like "out my mind... just in time"

[@embrya26]

It's a song that has callbacks to jazz/swing of the 1940s then soul-jazz funk of the 1970s, and finally Neo-Soul/R&B of the late 90s early 2000s

[@sistamaryclarence]

Your Dad will absolutely lose his mind when he hears Ye-yo on her live album. She was pregnant and having pains onstage. You could feel the emotions and pain in her voice. Its so poetic because Ye-yo means mother in the Maasai language. Erykah Badu is so melodic, spiritual and smooth. She's a whole vibe. (If Chaka Khan & Billie Holiday had a baby that's Erykah) 😍

Erykah Badu won the Ella Fitzgerald Award a few years back... There's a KZbin video of the award, and Erykah talks about how she has always looked at and used her voice like an actual instrument. A trumpet. I thought that was so cool and it makes total sense if you think about her music. That's stayed with me since hearing her talk about it. I love her and her artistry so much. She is a living legend. Great video guys!

[@Enta_Da_Sage]

That's dope. I listen to Baduism in it's entirety a few times a week for 25 years now and to me that's one of the best albums ever. I have to make myself give Baduism a rest sometimes and play Mama's Gun (my personal close second favorite album of hers.) I always play Didn't Cha know first and then I start the album over from the beginning. Then I go through and listen to all the rest of her albums in order of when they came out. She's the modern day R&B/Soul GOAT no doubt.

Now that’s what I call a fan! (dad)

[@Sky-hc7uu]

Jill Scott, He Loves Me would be a great pick! Anything Jill Scott honestly.

[@vevp8287]

I'm glad I got to catch the premiere. You've already introduced dad to Erykah and The Roots. Now you should introduced him to Jill Scott. Play "He Loves Me" and see how dad likes that.

[@Egirl609]

I love that song!

[@jomanda6876]

Yes! That song would be great!

[@Prawduk730]

She definitely paved the way for Neo-Soul and many indie artist today who perform music tailored to this sound.

[@frontroom]

Definitely agree

[@KatGlo]

One of my top 5 Erykah songs. All her songs are so poetic, so many metaphors and double entendres. She’s so talented.

[@Brandon-gw4ed]

I really appreciate what you do. Art has always brought people together no matter culture, race, or religion. Love the channel, love the content, and love your pops!

[@visewilcox7348]

I love how you guys fall in the trance she places on you! Powerful mad respect you have for the real feeling music gives you. Float on

[@frontroom]

☺️

[@bossybee8888]

Erykah’s music still feels so good all these years later🥰 You two are kicking butt, what is this 20K more subs in two weeks?🤩

[@flaviusmaximus2051]

She has so many great songs! She is the godmother of neo soul! Often imitated, you know the rest...

[@bl757]

Never duplicated

[@stacey8559]

Dad’s like “please be quiet so I can listen to the song.” 😂😂 You can tell he tried to silence him with that head wave as he tried to speak.

[@icsmodgaming]

hands down one of my favorite songs of all time...awesome to see someone else loves it enough to do a video on it!

[@emorylivers]

And you GOTTA do On and On by Badu! Her first single and so deep!

[@Kallah_DaughterOfYAHUAH]

VERY much!

[@taneshah.1260]

Definitely!!

[@jovanguerra4817]

Since y’all are dipping into some neo soul, I would recommend, “This Woman’s Work,” by Maxwell.

[@lynnlucas4779]

Yes

[@819phoenix]

Ascension too

[@reginajosephine8054]

That's a great suggestion

[@mshill2406]

yes he sung that!

[@MissThing924]

Any Maxwell tbh

[@kiyanna5778]

I love how dad became captivated by the tune and tones of her voice! She really is magical! I really enjoy this channel! Really love how you and your dad are spending time together! That’s a beautiful thing to see and really makes me smile knowing you two are making memories! 🗣I can’t waaaaaaaaait until you listen to THE Lauryn Hill!!!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽 I. LOVE. HER! Just as much as Pac! Can’t wait til you listen to some Nas as well! I respect and love how you both take the time to listen and learn what our music is about! It’s all so refreshing!! 💛🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶

[@kiyanna5778]

The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill will change your life!!! 💛✨✨✨✨

[@cyntee79]

That ENTIRE album is a MASTERPIECE!!! Play Green Eyes and Orange Moon for him too🔥🔥

[@yzma6142]

Your choices are top tier I’m amazed every time

[@Egirl609]

Loved the reaction! I grew up to Erykah Badu. My mother used to play her music all the time. The son is very knowledgeable and he is even teaching me some things I didn't know about artist.

[@frontroom]

Nice memory for you! Thank you for watching. (dad)

[@camillelynch3517]

My mother liked Baduizm and Apple Tree was one of her faves. I fell in love with Mamas Gun. Even tho they are only about 3 yrs apart, this one feels more a part of my youth than the former.

[@walroz87]

This sample so good too guys !!! Tarika Blue- Dreamflower stunning track !!!!

[@butterflyygyrlsworld5106]

YUP!!!💯💯💯💯

[@northernsoutherngirl]

This entire cd help get me through my divorce. Stays in rotation!❤❤ ❤

[@TheNeeyang]

Shit I think I need to listen to this album bc I’m going through a divorce rn

[@DetroitQueen74]

I saw her in concert. It was magical.

[@elleboog808]

Jill Scott “He Loves Me”! Ahhhh Maaaaaaazing!

[@purplemusic360]

Hearing his genuine reaction and heartfelt response to a song and artist that I've loved for years is like getting to hear the song for the first time again. I absolutely love what you guys are doing. I would suggest Other Side of the Game by Erykah Badu as well ❤

[@tamikajohnson6910]

Yes! To the whole statement!

[@sailorneen]

I’ve seen Erykah live twice, five times in total if you count them quarantine concerts lol. She absolutely delivers every time! So glad y’all did this song, Mama’s Gun is absolutely a classic. Edit: I second the suggestion in the comments about doing “Green Eyes” by Erykah Badu from the same album.

[@kemigyrl1]

Love you and your dad's exploration of music. There's always a deep respect, openness and connection that is so lovely to watch.

[@anatay10]

I'm loving you two! What a great idea for a channel. I'm a 49 year old woman with 27 year old twin son musicians. The best moments, memories I've shared with them by FAR is our love of music. They've shared with me and vice versa. I love how open your dad is... and observing you guys bonding over phenomenal music is great. Good taste 👍🏽👌🏽😊! Cheers!

[@kevinparker5508]

Well studied young man. Fathers inquisitive energy mixed in with his wisdom is a blessing. Only listen to them and the twins for reactions.

[@saf1999]

The channel grew so quick 🙌🏾 and yea Erykah is goated

[@mrsreaferg]

Jill Scott’s “Geittin In The Way”… she sang with the Roots as well. She sang the hook for “You Got Me” first.

[@OceanisInfinite]

She actually wrote & sung it.

[@mrsreaferg]

@@OceanisInfinite I didn’t know she wrote it…

[@ess.1020]

Jill Scott YOU LOVE ME should be next

[@DonDon-fo8gr]

And she is who Andre 3000 is singing about in sorry Ms Jackson. 🙂

[@christinewarren8134]

For real? I didn't know that.

[@lynnlucas4779]

That is a fact. Andre and Erykah share a child.

[@kalesitasandifer6405]

Your depth and appreciation draws me in. It's calming and rewarding. Thank you for sharing.

[@katriceoffordabdallah453]

I love that you are choosing to share music and how it makes you both feel! Priceless
