[@karenmcgee1869]

Would love to see Jill Scott and Erykah Badu make an album together!

[@malcolmdunbar9273]

That would be so amazing

[@Reezer83]

Under a single that one has witten and the other one is famous for. 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂

[@aimeefoster5216]

I’d would literally explode........

[@taraquinch1256]

Me, too..so much. We can add Indie Arie and Lauryn Hill...that would be nuclear...

[@TheDivaoflondon]

Yes!!!! Well said! I am here for it. Could you imagine the tour!!! Come on!!! ❤️

[@DEBONAIRMAN]

Forget the 'neo-soul' label. This was a classic moment in SOUL music history. Period.

[@doriantaylor5243]

Let the church say Amen!!

[@EricaC1976]

Jill Scott is literally everything!!!! Her voice is so sick...

[@NG-nx8wd]

Literally

[@tpthecalm9438]

[@ceciltoungsi1502]

That's the essence of real african sounds right there. Just reminds me my culture. My sisters from the other side of the sea , channeling our ancestors. Peace

Influenced by 60s psychedelic rock

[@supahmariostyle]

He's not talking about that

[@taraquinch1256]

@@snoochpounder No, it's the opposite. African music is older...The rock stars were influenced by jazz, gospel and soul....

The original sounds of the EU-melanated people's of the America's.

[@bashan6566]

Who's here because of the upcoming Quarantine Versuz Battle 2020 : Erykah Badu vs Jill Scott Edition 😄

[@notavailable74]

B. McLeod Yesss 😭

[@nq44]

You better believe it! I can't even lean towards one way or another. This is going to be great!

[@aminag4836]

Me 🙋🏾‍♀️ 🤣

Me

[@yasmirpoitier5939]

😂 yep!!!

[@ericdivory]

Easily one of the most defining moments in hip-hop/ r&b artistry. A moment we could all wish to happen more often but will be a rare happenstance. Erykah and jill were switched and alternated for that one song on the record. It was a witnessed magic brought from the full potential that are the artists of Roots, Erykah, and Jill. GOOSEBUMPS!!!

[@tanishamorrow8163]

Derrick Ivory they where not switched. Jill Scott wrote was the person who it.

[@jeanjacque1577]

tanisha morrow . the record company took Jill off cause they wanted a higher profile singer and put Erykah on it. so he's correct they were switched for that song

[@nnnnikt]

@@jeanjacque1577 And I hope the record label learnt that they all own this together with love (Roots, Badu and Jill) - so glad a performance as amazing unfolded to prove it.

[@46citygirl]

May 2024 and I came to KZbin looking for this…again. Still loving this moment

[@magayakimade]

Gotta pay homage

[@arasiaj]

this shit just literally gave me chills...those two women together omg

[@edsonedalia6116]

Jill scott,Lauryn hill,Erykah badu...the neo soul trinity

[@vIbEsWiThMeDuSa]

Erykah always bringing those soulful bohemian vibes. You can tell her presence is felt by the way the guitarist was staring at her. ❤️

[@sswwwaaann]

Cody Chessnut!

[@tpthecalm9438]

I feel you but don't get it twisted Jill is a 👑 standing there herself

[@vIbEsWiThMeDuSa]

@@tpthecalm9438 I wasn’t discrediting her at all I just didn’t mention her.

[@jonathanblaze1648]

That intro was beyond hard!

[@MansaNze]

+Jonathan Blaze Gave me chills!

[@farsea1542]

+Jonathan Blaze they're on some progressive metal shit

[@thomasdr08]

+Shy Foo that was the original song. I think the label put Erika on it because she was on the same label and Jill was on a different one or something to that effect. I still get teary-eyes watching this. Such a beautiful moment of blackness

[@jhenright]

+sclSolitarium Just a beautiful moment , Passion and soul

[@ProfessorBoynton]

That run Erykah did at 2:29 is sick! The whole thing is just nasty!!

[@marktoomey190]

Both of them from that point are just next level

[@demun3857]

Still a banger 2023 💯

[@090nj2]

This group was absolutely insane mannnn Playing one of the best HipHop songs of all time, then innovating it That's what you call progressive bro The Roots are something special fr

[@johnmorris6306]

These are three amazing musicians/ groups but the note Eryka hits on 2:24 from in another planet. Unreal!!

[@sunnys1n9h]

This pure excellence of blackness is overwhelming....

[@MrHereWeGoYo]

00:52 - 1:15 Maaan. I'm just trying to imagine what this sounded like echoing through the streets.

[@piperand3]

Electric!!!!!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@MrHereWeGoYo]

Danielle Piper - Absolutely.

[@dclarkjeannine]

Man, forreal!

[@lindseygreenberg]

[@averagejoe1058]

Dude on the electric guitar is on some futuristic shit.. dope af

[@CodysFavorites]

[@Andreiiiiiioooooshellllll]

From 2:15, I have to confess, was my 1st time I ever cried because of music...

[@absolomhicks3145]

damn you felt it too shit I thought it was all these onions I'm cutting lol jk......I didn't know that that union could bring forth that kind of energy to move me to tears smh that's powerful

[@missmyoldhandle24]

[@fabiananthony7119]

I,ve never been so high off a performance before, damn!! i wasn't even there and i could feel it.

[@jag21inc98]

fabian anthony ..I was thinking the same thing

[@jag21inc98]

fabian anthony ..If your not connected to the spirits you wouldn't even know whats going on here

[@jag21inc98]

It touches me physically emotionally and spiritually. if you're not connected to the universe you wouldn't understand what's even going on here

[@WasabiLuV]

Shut up

[@marquewallace]

I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD SEE THIS. Erykah Badu & Jill Scott together on-stage hot! Two of the most sensual soulful, deep earthy, these Goddess bring Universal energy like the night sky.

[@RaivisStremers]

+ Add Lauryn Hill from Fugees and that would be cosmos of voices 👌🥰

[@archb7454]

Man, Quest love on the drums not really paying attention yet still on beat. CRAZY. Love this song.

[@LJ11892]

little know fact Jill Scott was on the original track but because at the time she wasn't as popular as Erykah, Jill was replaced .

[@edwilliamsuk77]

Jill Scott wrote those lyrics

[@kanedrae]

Yep..

[@erehistruth2356]

They are both my girls. Im glad Jill's light got to shine through out here career. These are phenomenal women.

[@pucciderika6367]

Jill Scott get writers Credit so she has made more n will continue to make more $$$ off the song than Erykah ever will ...anybody can "sing" the song the writer is the one who's song it is n by right the one who should get all the glory

[@jivonleejackson1409]

This was a phenomenal moment in music! Two of the creators of the a massive moment musically in 1999 come together & sound great 5 years later! 💕

[@rebornluvesthrift9744]

I can't imagine that this kind of powerhouse flow will ever be duplicated, amazing!!!

[@LEXercise]

🎯

[@aresef]

The label made them re-record with Erykah Badu, yeah.

[@wilakt4fud]

It's upsetting how good this is.

Whose here to get ready for their IG versus battle on may 9th 😂

[@shashamarie4760]

Do I have to be on IG? I dont have that. Only you tube. 🤦‍♂️

[@mexi6537]

Jill Scott wrote the lyrics and Erykah Sang them. Super Dope

[@qsg20002]

When I use my mind I WIN THE RACE......... Sheesh

[@piperand3]

Yeeeessssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Chocotientje]

That’s really the sweetest thing. I ever heard 👏🏽👏🏽

[@tubechiq88]

This is the best version of my opinion. It doesn't touch any of the other recordings

[@wilakt4fud]

Also-- how about Questlove conducting? Rewatch this, and only focus on him. Amazing--- he doesnt get as much credit as he should from anyone.

[@everyonesopinionisdumb]

wilakt4fud facts, he is great

[@malcolmdunbar9273]

He is a genius

[@lapoupee88]
