Jill Scott Tried to Make A Bad Album on Purpose

[@Xtrekker1]

I am a 50 yr old man, married for 23yrs, with 3 grown sons. My wife, my mother and everybody else of any relevance in my life knows my timeless affection and admiration for Ms. Jill Scott. A unique blend of intelligence, sensuality, sexuality, activism, empathy and unparalleled beauty. Oh and she is a dope artist! Thx for this podcast, Ms. Hill.

[@honeybunnz123]

It's 2024 and I watched this for the first time and loved every single minute of this. What a great interview. I loved listening to and watching you both. This was soul filling and a warm drink. Thank you for keeping this interview out there. ❤❤❤❤

[@rondas7772]

That's Mrs. Hill lol

[@elliotselmon7581]

Couldn't have said that ANY better!! TOTALLY agree about Ms. Scott and Mrs. Hill

[@loriwaddles306]

I needed to learn of her research into other countries. It certainly has spurned me to dip into more in terms of seeking other places to live in this climate of the US…

[@christinesimmons5261]

When her first album came out with the image of her face as a little girl I realized that she lived down the street from me and as an adult she came to my job to get copies of her picture when she was doing spoken word in Philly. Then I realized we used to ride public transportation together. She would wear a black top hat and a black body suit. A couple of years later I met her through a friend and she recognized me from riding the bus although we had never spoken to each other. She greeted me saying "You're the 33 Lady!" She was down to Earth then and it seems that she has remained that way.

[@UnbotheredLibraBeauty]

Her first Album was Who is Jill Scott?

[@kimberlybrown8446]

There is the perpetual sparkle that is in Jill Scott's eyes, and I absolutely love it!

[@TheDaizM]

Very first thought I had when the video started too

[@naomim5746]

Everything about her is so beautiful: The cadence of her voice, the inflection of her voice, the truth, honesty and passion in her voice. Her smile….. 😍

[@K.C.-ty3vk]

Listen I’m mesmerized 😩😍

[@namsb.5221]

You forgot her eyes

[@VINZBROWN]

Yessssssssssss

[@unc1589]

I worked on the crew of Dave Chapelle block party. Jill sang a song I hadn’t heard. She said “I can bring home the bacon, pay all the bills, but I don’t want to! I’m tired! I want some help!” That was the most “true human” statement I ever heard from a modern soul singer and it just resonated with me. I thought it was bold and courageous.

[@Dee-me6ju]

Sounds like "I need you"

[@lovelarai4387]

I Actually! Payed $ To Watch Dave Chappelle's Block Party In A Theater, Bougt The Soundtrack The Same Week, Jill & Badu, Did A Lot Of Freestyling...

[@ilovesilver205]

My husband and I went to her last concert before the lock down. She told us to savor that moment, because we never know when we will be together like that again. It was literally the next day or two and the World shut down!!!! Thank you for that Jill because sweet love was made!!! 😜❤️

[@mdnyg2004]

The Dallas show?

[@SoulDuJour]

Must've been the Houston show, I was there too lol

I saw Babyface right before the lockdown.❤ You have to seize the day!

I was in tears the entire 1 hour, 8 minutes, and 35 seconds!!!! I love Jill Scott and this was like a personal conversation with her and getting to know more about her and her journey! WOW!!!! My soul NEEDED this!!

So weird! Cause I am crying too...like a proud mom or something!! Lol!

Not 30 mins of Crown Royal...Babyyyyy....Whew!!!! I'm here for it!

[@cyn4000]

I did radio full time in Atlanta and hands down SHE was thee best interview I'd ever had. Watching this brought back good memories of the business. I love her spirit.

[@NeoSoul84]

I’ve seen Jill in concert 12 times and my 11th time…someone close to Jill noticed me during the show and struck up a convo and I was able to meet Jill and it was an experience I’ll never forget. We spoke about 15 mins about life and music and i was able to tell her how much her music means to me and how my mom was an Aries and Jill is an Aries so I feel that female Aries presence stays in my life. Being able to thank her and no I didn’t scream or overreact I was very chill. I hope to meet her again in the near future. ❤❤❤❤

[@DiaryofanNDA]

Jill is so pretty! 😍 😍

[@missdragonflies81]

Oh my goodness, this interview felt like two good friends just chatting it up. Thank you so much Jill for being authentic & radiant from the inside out! Stay bold, funny, covered, awesome.

[@NatureGirl215LLC]

I remember when Jill Scott would come on the radio on Temple University radio (the show is called "The Bridge" with J. Michael Harrison. The show still comes on. PLEASE check it out) she would do her poetry WAY before the debut album came out. My mom (R.ise I.n P.ower) would listen & I'll never forget I told my that she's going to be big. Low & behold we got "Jilly From Philly". ❤ me some her.

[@OHMYPUMKINPIE]

Getting the back story on Crown Royal is amazing. I finally saw her live in Newark, NJ and my grin, and heart matched through the whole performance.She is worldly and loving.

[@dominiquealexandria5343]

I wish the song was longer ❤😊❤

[@Lullabybabyzzz]

Crown Royal is one my favs

[@alexandrajackson2306]

It was the summer of 2001 and I was not hip to Jill Scott. There was a concert in Detroit featuring Erykah Badu, Macy Gray, Sunshine Anderson, and Jill Scott. I was already an Erykah Badu fan and excited to see her. I believe it was Sunshine that was not able to make it so they brought on Jill early. OMG Jill Scott took us on a ride that I have not got off since! This woman is amazing. One of those artists you can listen to every song on the album. She writes and sings from a real place which is rare in today's music. And she is a great actress!

[@RR-ur4kz]

So very true!😊

[@butterflyygyrlsworld5106]

Hey Detroit! ❤

[@charlesblackburn8482]

Love me some Jill Scott. She's so organic, inspiring,and talented. Her spirit is hard for ANYONE to resist 😍

[@domyank95]

Her spirit is unmatched. Indeed Beautifully Human.

[@jocelynlincoln2330]

We were at that same concert….massive snow storm and slid right on down to St. Andrew’s and it was the most perfect night! Have seen Miss Scott five times and absolutely adore her. Last year at The Fox, she performed Who Is Jill Scott from start to finish! Pure perfection!!! We had tickets in 2020 and the world stopped. “Crown Royal”, “Rolling Hills”, “Fool’s Gold” and getting to hear her perform “Slowly, Surely”…love that woman!

[@tennielledorsey4040]

31:35 I’d tune into “Discovering Shit with Jill Scott!” All day every day and twice on Sundays!❤ Actually Jemele and Jill together are a match made in my queendom heaven!

[@CB0785]

Shout out to all the Day 1's...Heard "Who is Jill Scott"? blasting through the halls of Howard Plaza Towers in the summer of 2000! Never looked back.

[@Sereneisthedream]

Jilly from Philly is my BFF in my head! Thank you for continuing to share your gift with us 💜

Jill you are my soul sister❤ One of the best Artist in the world! I love your genuine, soft real homegirl spirit. The authenticity is beautiful sis❣️Stay being you. There is no other way to be girl. Please extend Crown Royal! It is a soul, heart and womb shaker. I cant wait girl‼️💯- A True Fan

[@JustCherylLynn]

Jill Scott is an Aries like myself and we do enjoy the simply life the most. Although don't get it twisted we're not the people to abuse. We love you Jill🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@Lily-cm3nj]

Yes as a fellow Aries I totally agree! We Aries are as real and down to earth as they come but don't test us or mistake our sweetness for weakness.

[@glamourgirl-n9b]

I’m an aries and she just helped me realize my doing the most when someone challenges me physically.

[@nisha3772]

Yessss ♈️♈️♈️

[@maybevenu3206]

Glad I watched until the very end, I sensed this was recorded a little while ago (2021). As a day one, it is always a pleasure hearing Jill speak. Beautifully Human is my personal favorite. It was stunning to learn that she was dealing with so much anxiety and near resistance to fame during that period in her career. Her response re: why Crown Royal is so short "its all I had to say" LOL! Priceless. I will be a life long fan. 💗

[@sfreeman417]

I just love me some Jill Scott. There is no other! The way she writes, composes her songs, she paints the picture and evokes emotions in you. So sensual and sexy. Love her femininity, softness and realness. Your soungs have been a soundtrack to many moments in my life. Jill made me fall in love wirh the City of Brotherly Love. I saw her perform at Chastain Park and brought Anthony Hamilton and Dougie Fresh. I stood all night and she gave an encore performance for the "Light of the Sun" album. This was herr sexy era. It was the best concert, rain and all. Love Jill. I'm ready for another album. Oh and Crown Royal is a whole sexy, sensual vibe!!! Jill is a Wordsmith!!! She got me back into journaling when we "Who Is Jill Scott" was introduced to the world. I remember Frank Ski in Atlanta playing her music in rotation.

[@leahc2190]

Jill Scott my Aries queen my favorite singer and if you never seen her perform live trust it is worth every second ❤. A must see artist

[@willette226]

Jill is THE best, one of the best interviews that I have heard in a long time!!! Big props to Jamele for asking wonderful questions and the great exchange that Jill and you had. Chef’s kiss!!!!

[@freedombaskin]

Two of my favorite women together made my day. Detroit Mumford Mustang Alum Mrs. Hill, thank you for this conversation and for repping us so well. Ms. Jill Scott, you are one of my favorite artists. I agree that every concert is an experience. I always describe it as having a conversation with one of my girls. You make everyone feel welcome, and it feels like we are chilling in your living room. You are going to sing, laugh, cry, and sing some more. Thank you for being an inspiration

[@brownbeauty4evryadig]

Ms Jill has no idea how much we all absolutely ADORE her and her music. Chilllle no one can touch her to this day. She is her own lane.❤❤❤❤

[@angelwilliams38]

I was 15 when Jill came out and my mom bought us tickets to go see her on her first tour…..I got put on punishment bc I lied about being out with my boyfriend and she didn’t let me go…I WAS DEVASTATED. Now I seen Jill plenty of times, but I’m still salty I didn’t get to see baby Jill. Now my 15 year old daughter is singing her album cuts🥹….can’t wait to take her to the Roots Picnic bc it will be EPIC!!!

[@queenfaye5226]

Where when????❤

[@justauni]

What a full circle moment!

[@acosbyjr]

Very similar story! Not seeing Jill LIVE, as a child, is definitely a punishment! I’ve too seen her since being an adult and I appreciate the experience even more! Everything happens for a reason!

Every time I think about the hotel incident the day you were leaving, I crack up! 😂 May God continue to bless you. Peace & Blessings.

[@dancewomyn1]

This is so rich and beautiful...Thank you for this incredible interview! :) Jill Scott's music has been such a positive force, it reflects back to us the beauty of what we are/can be, in love, and in relationship to one another. Her words seem to flow organically, without filter, just genuine, soulful expression, giving us the freedom to sit back relax, and enjoy.

[@edwinnavedojr]

Here I am ... I can't stop watching content on this Channel .. this entire Interview had me smiling .. I felt the most authenticity in this interview.. It made me feel like Jill said ... that Kid just over hearing a conversation ... it felt Like I was welcomed in to the convo as an observer.... it felt so natural and Honest.... If I ever run into Jill Scott I will just talk to her like a person and won't even reveal that I recognize her until we part ways .. because she deserves to feel the simple things .... ... Loved this interview ...

[@veeanita1803]

Let me tell you I enjoyed this Interview and I have had the pleasure of seeing Jill Scott in Concert numerous times and its always a Vibe and an experience. I have had the pleasure of meeting her a few times and she makes you feel so special and like a best friend and a like a good pair of old worn jeans that you never want to get rid of no matter how tattered or torn because they fit just right and feel so good and part of you.Jill Sott is beautifully human and so Incredibly Dope. Her music is so nostalgic.I can't wait to see her Live again!One of the best things things to ever happen to music!Loveeee her and The Roots!❤❤❤❤

Sometimes we get lonely with people all around us. She is so full of lessons and we just know a peace. I love Jill Scott.
