Edward Parker Yeah man I can relate. I don't know why I hear so many of them say that we(black guys) don't appreciate them. If they knew us all they wouldn't say that.
Edward Parker Well I feel like it's both ways, some really good black guys feel like black women don't appreciate us anymore, I feel like many black men have done things to hurt black women and many black women have done the same, both has made videos on RU-vid bashing each other, and personally I think we just need to come together, that's why I appreciate your comment sir, thank you for uplifting black women because there are plenty of us decent black brothers out here who love black women alot.
You know a song is classic when you never get tired of it after over 20 years. I was just 10 listening to this song when it first came out. I always wanted to see Bilal in concert and got the chance to do so back in 2016.
I have an official complaint. This sublime masterpiece is too short! Also, thank you black man for recognising black women. We love you with our hearts too brothers and pray for healing and restoration between us. And that is all
NOT ONLY WAS THE SONG THE SHIT BUT VIDEO, OH MY LORD. I LOVE IT SO MUCH BECAUSE IT REALLY REPRESENTED SOUL, DARK SKINNED SISTERS WITH FEATURES THAT DEFINETLY ARE NOT CELEBRATED. BEING HAILED AND PLACED ON A PEDESTAL. HOW I WISH MORE VIDEOS LIKE THIS WERE UPFRONT.
Snobdoll™ WHAT THE HELL IS THE MEDIA HATRED AND DISLIKE FOR BLACK WOMEN???? THEY SEEM THREATENED BY BLACK WOMEN. OTHERWISE WHY MAKE EVERY EFFORT TO HID THEM.
It must be! Have you also notice now that in media they take the so called best of our men and place them against every other race accept a black woman. For instance it is a love interest, it will be a black man and a non black woman. But if they have the quintessential white man, you best believe they are pairing him with their precious white woman. That is why i dont watch tv anymore, I am not supporting any outlet that does not give me props. And these where the same people not too long ago who did not want a black man and a white woman together, flashback Emmit Till.
Bilal is not trying to be like D'Angelo. Anyone who knows about his music knows he's in the same music collaboration team called Soulquarians - Quest, James Poser, Common, Kweli, Erykah Badu, Mos Def
And yet they say music hasn't changed? Now that is funny. I do miss these days but, we have RU-vid so we can reminisce back when music still had a soul. Once again, can I get a witness?
+Southern Cross (David Kemp) Check out the Soulection label and radio show. They are kinda bringing back that early 2000's hip hop/neo soul feel with a trap/electronic kinda feel. really hard beats but really musical and soulful.
"To me, the black woman is our essential mother, the blacker she is the more Us she is, and to see the hatred that is turned on her is enough to make me despair, almost Entirely, of our Future as a People. -Alice Walker-
one sided loyalty is for suckas Before I said black women I said any woman. There is that female logic that men say came from a goddess. The praise that you false gods want so bad are to the detriment of men who are left to suffer for looking at you as anything but normal people ie Moody, selfish, lack of consistency, stupid thinking ect ect... you know, just like any real person. Also, that name one sided loyalty is for suckas😶... isn't that about blk women who say they hate their own men because they believe only the women are loyal???
love goddess SORRY TO SAY BLACK PEOPLE DON'T KNOW THEIR HERITAGE. WE CAME FROM A LINE OF KINGS AND QUEENS IN AFRICA. IT'S SAD WHEN WHITE PEOPLE CAN TELL YOU THAT AND YOU DON'T BELIEVE IT. THE MORE WE SUFFER THE MORE WE ARE TO GOD. DON'T CAVE IN BE STRONGER. GOD BROUGHT US ALL THIS LONG WAY. THE END WILL SHOW YOU THIS. OUR PLIGHT IN LIFE IS SIMPLY SPIRITUAL. MY BLACK SISTERS AND BROTHERS. DON'T HATE BE BOLDER, LOUDER STRONGER. BLACK LIVES MATTER
This is the type of music that’s missing right now in R&B. I miss hearing harmony and vocal arrangements and live instruments. Everything right now is so trap influenced, which is ok to some degree but there needs to be a balance.
Wow!! Look at him a grown man!! I remember when he was a little kid singing in the Church Choir at the Baptist Worship Center. He used to tear that church up. We would all get the holy ghost!!
AdventurousDaydreamer That's how black women are supposed to feel, don't think any less of yourselves but keep smiling because Jesus loves you all black women! Thinking that you're ugly is overrated, God created you, so as long as God sees something special in you all, it really doesn't matter what others think and I don't have anything against black women I just want y'all to know that there are black guys out here (myself included) who really appreciates black women and I'm sure there are some black women who appreciates us black guys too! God Bless you all.
No it's not. That's BS They Don't make it because they Don't get supported. Period Look at the record sales? Look at poor attendance when they do shows? Stop w the pandering BS Y'all say the same sht w black cinema And Art. Just stop They Don't want this Has this great talent ever sold what Nikki? Cardi? Suki? Meg? Citi Girls? Sexxy Redd sell? No

Excuse me Mr. Bilal...You did your thang at The BET Awards. Sir, Salute to you. If Prince was out in that audience, I think he would have ran to that stage. Bilal you BODIED that tribute. #Salute
He was so ahead of his time. This will always be one of my favorite songs. He made me feel like he was dedicating this song to me and my sistas!!! Everytime i hear this song i feel so happy amd proud to be a black woman!
Gosh I still play this entire album project with no skips ⏭ 🚫 Bilal was so ahead of the R&B genre I have all his work except his last album / hoping he will revisit this soulful sound in this era of Black music… the industry doesn’t deserve him but us Black folks most definitely do ✊🏽 Juneteenth!!!
+Gabriel Bizzlebop that u. Out of 10 dark skin females only 1 or 2 pretty. Out of 10 light skin females half gonna be pretty. Point is "more" light skin females prettier. I'm not talking about light brown skin ones like Keisha Coles. I'm talking about the ones like us called red bones. We called that because our skin color kinda pinkish. But don't slap us cuz we turn red, lol.
Sexy, Sensual, Soul, Singer...toe curling music. I have this song on heavy rotation. I love a brother that knows all the RIGHT words to say to a sister. Thanks Bilal for loving Black Soul Sisters Again.
Who directed this video? He or she musta heard the beat drop and immediately had an mahogany laced epiphany cause videos don't come together like this by chance... This is all kinds of calculated beautiful. One of the best R&B Soul videos I have ever seen... 3:24 - 3:28... I've never seen a goddess until I seen those 4 seconds right there... That is the money shot if there ever was one... Wow!!!
Couldn't of said it better bro. I've never seen a "perfect" song with a "perfect" video to match. This is it. From the vocals to the photography, ALL 10. I swear, I was thinkin these thoughts moments before I ran into your comments. Thx for sharing.
Video almost made me shed a tear; this is a tribute to a Black woman. We apologize for degrading you and sexualizing you. You are Sacred as God’s daughters. Together forever we are unstoppable #blacklove
