That’s one of the funkiest bass lines ever of all time.

[@jettyoeill]

Fantabulous!

[@Robbie521000]

Now that's that FUNK from the basement!! The bass line is carrying it, the congas keeping it slick and the flute is smooth as silk! Yea, she put a little heat on this joint! Thanks Erykah!

[@robinkershaw]

Great words🙂

Still accurate in 2023! Wish there was better quality video for this.

[@Marcus_C51]

Isn't that the TRUTH! FUNK facts in de house. Just rediscovered the Queen herself Erykah and man, my loss. She is bringin' the heat on this, yeah the bass layin' it down and being a guitarist I have to love the wah work. Wish she and Sly could've done something together-THAT would've badass!

she feels the rhytm.... a natural born talent...and an incredible backup band...

[@antoniostubbs9962]

[@lanesalawson880]

@@antoniostubbs9962 you clearly missed the entire meaning of this song lmao listen again

[@mooncorp212]

In my opinion (nd just take as it is), Badu, compared to some Brasilian, african, Indian or rap master singers for exemple, have ok skills in rythm. She's fine. She's incredible in harmony, and her best talent is in the vibe, the little sensible magic marrying harmony and rythm. She shines there. By listening and relistening her albums, and then seing her live, you will see she bends harmony using quarters or eigths of tones on purpose. Because magic.

[@errickwashington5044]

That bass is funky ASF

Did you learn the bass line?

[@gregoryboyer4846]

that bass line is the "cousin" of "love to love you baby" by Donna Summer

[@yltraviole]

I suddenly understand so many song lyrics...

[@rlevitta]

"She was sitting on the front pew giving deacon Johnson them a good view" - I love her sense of humor. I've always thought that her song "Tyrone" is a brilliantly constructed joke with "but you can't use my phone" as the punch line :)

I saw Erykah in concert in 98' at Radio City Music Hall ...BEST Concert I've been to... She had the Audience in the Palm of her hand ....BLOWN AWAY!! xoxo

[@deeplynluv]

I saw her do this live at Radio City Music Hall. I don't care what people say about her the woman is talented. She doesn't need a gimmick to sell CD's. Anyone in the music business knows the real money doesn't come from selling CD's anyway. It comes from touring and the people who truly rock with her like I do (I am not a FANatic for anyone) will always support.

[@marekgaramond4198]

the money does bring happiness

[@vainw3694]
