Still love this song! The Roots 🥰

[@the1deyluv2love]

+douglas douga Erykah is singing her part and Eve is rapping the second verse. "You Got Me" was co-written by musician Jill Scott, who recorded vocals for the song's chorus and bridge. Her part was subsequently re-recorded by Badu at the insistence of MCA Records, who wanted a higher-profile collaboration for the album's official lead single (at the time, Scott was relatively unknown outside of Philadelphia ). When the group later went on tour, Scott joined them during performances of the song. The original version was later released on the 2005 compilation Home Grown! The Beginners Guide to Understanding the Roots, Volume One.

Roots so underrated... And i adore sister BADU ain't nothing like a sister with knowledge of self....

Scott storch is the man. If you don't know who he is, or don't agree, let's just say you wouldn't even be listening to this song if not for him.

[@brandonrivera9909]

storch is easily the greatest producer of all time. if you like any song from the 2000 I can almost promise it was Scott's. true meaning to the word legend and talent. #inspiration

yeah that boy raw.

[@MrRockyVega]

he really don't. Black Thought is that dude frfr

[@RudyPalos]

I agree! Just saw them live a few hours ago, he didn't miss a syllable. I really think he could end up as one of the GOATS. The longevity of his band helps, sure. But his development throughout their (immense) catalog is unmatched.

[@sighterlokz1]

I still like this shit as in 2016

The "neo-soul" sound from around 1995-2002 will be remembered as possibly the last era of good black music.

This is my favorite song of all time. It never gets old. The storytelling is on point, then Jill's chorus interpreted by Erykah's gorgeous voice, THIS IS IT. RIP Malik B.
