One of the top top basslines. That whole album is a masterpiece

1997-1999 were GOOD ASS years. Neo Soul was going, Hip Hop was going, The rest of the Marleys were appearing and there was this futuristic african style going on that lasted till like 2004. It was because of Erykah Badu, The Roots, OutKast and the rest of that movement. I'm happy I was raised through those years because im living my life how they did with a conscience . :)

It's on the same album. It's called the "flipped it" remix. I think the bass line is just nasty on the original.

Song takes me back .So deep and emotional.The hypnotic ability and internal strengths and sensuality expressed in the raw emotion and self assuredness of WOMEN is quite unique and it is in an arena all by itself Thanks for the vibes

The whole year of 1997, I had a man chasing and wooing me. This was my theme song as I resisted and teased him into submission! I will always love this song and the CD it was on. It reminds me of happy times and my past lover.

Lived this song. Literally. Knew a very controlling man who I later figured out wanted to take me away from my own husband. He hired me to clean his house, and literally, while I was at his house,I turned my back to use the restroom, and then he actually did "slip me a mickey".
