Unfortunately ai will probably being able to make something people can't tell the difference in 2 years. You can adjust pitches in what syllables are enunciated.
Erykah taught me how to appreciate being a black girl. And taught me how to see God in all black girls and women. I see the divine mother within her as well as all of us.
@xxnatshaffe of course it doesn't matter and it shouldn't but we live in a world where it does. Brown and black women and girls are made to feel less than. Nothing wrong with her specifically talking to and about black women because we are told and shown we are less. Let her have this
@@anniepearl3044 "neo soul"? No. BADU is a goddess, shes blessing the world with her wisdom. Forget the music and sounds... Feel her vast wisdom. She is a prophet.
I met a cougar while working at Enterprise rental car. I was invited over to her house after work! lol she put this track on made me some food and gave me some good loving!!! This is my favorite song till this day!!!
There is some Egyptian mythology going on, the scarab represents life cycles and rebirth.(Sun and moon) Erika is lost in a dessert;unurtured,empty,in a transitional phase of life. Going in circles? repeating same mistakes? Her high hat might be a search for higher "self knowledge" and wisdom. Alchemical? Godlike? She drags the weight of her past that which is uninportant, and manipulated, burdens, lies,fears... she has fallen in lifes trap the matrix if you will. The sun is seting she is in a resting period she is regenerating herself to be born anew. She emerges from a womb of water she is now nurtured, replenished and cleansed. Naked and pure. Now the crops... aliens and origins? we are all one in the vast universe... cycles transformation. evolution the mysteries and occult.
@@melissasmith6762 people like you bring our world down crawl back into your swamp pit were you belong, dirty nasty stinking thing LOL what you got ???
Right click, loop. Alternatively create a 1 song private playlist with repeat on for mobile. The ending is the best part. Don't deny yourself the entire meal.
Really irritates me when people say "so sad that people came here from vine" or something dumb like that 🙄🙄 not everyone is exposed to music like this or some people may just be young however does it really matter how they got here the point is they're here now to listen to good music, like the more the merrier just go to show how timeless this shit is! So let's all just chill out and enjoy good music ❤️❤️❤️
personally I love when young kids say GTA brought them here or something along those lines. Point is they're here to listen, and they can appreciate what they hear.
when erykah went to j dilla, she asked him to play some beats for her, he declined and told her instead to go to his wall of records and pick something up, which she did and chose a record randomly, and Dilla flipped a sample from the record, and you are now listening to that song actually
Oh-oh-oh-oh hey, yeah Ooh-oh Ahh-ah Uhh-uh Ayy-ay Ooh, hey I'm trying to decide Which way to go I think I made a wrong turn back there somewhere Ooh, hey I'm trying to decide Which way to go I think I made a wrong turn back there somewhere Didn't cha' know, didn't cha' know Tried to move, but I lost my way Didn't cha' know, didn't cha' know Stopped to watch my emotions sway Didn't cha' know, didn't cha' know Knew the toll, but I would not pay Didn't cha' know, didn't cha' know That you never know where the cards may lay Time to save the world Where in the world is all the time? So many things I still don't know So many times I've changed my mind Guess I was born to make mistakes But I ain't scared to take the weight So when I stumble off the path I know my heart will guide me back Ooh, hey I'm trying to decide Which way to go I think I made a wrong turn back there somewhere Ooh, hey, uh-ooh I'm trying to decide Which way to go I think I made a wrong turn back there somewhere Didn't cha' know, didn't cha' know Tried to run, but I lost my way Didn't cha' know, didn't cha' know Stopped to watch my emotions sway Didn't cha' know, didn't cha' know Knew the toll, but I would not pay Didn't cha' know, didn't cha' know I said ya never know how the cards may lay Love is life and life is free Take a ride of life with me Free your mind and find your way There will be a brighter day Love is life and life is free Take a ride of life with me Free your mind and find your way There will be a brighter day Love is life and life is free Take a ride of life with me Free your mind and find your way There will be a brighter day
Same here I would listen to this song but life happened and for a long time I didn't listen to this song until just recently and for the first time it really spoke to me and my spirit.
This woman made me see myself. My true African culture my true core ... Let alone everything around me ... I lived listening to her validating everything I felt in my mind in m body and soul ...She told me I'm not craze to think how I think and how I view how life is distorted...
If you're a descendant of an American slave, you, nor your ancestors were African. You are a Hebrew Israelite from the seed of Jacob. The chosen seed. The promised seed. Ye are the branches.
You're not even American, you are Y'israel.. The Nation of Yahweh Elohim! The chosen seed! So many are asleep. The first shall be last and the last shall be first. The elder shall serve the younger. In thy womb (Rachel) are two nations. Jacob is rising. Esau is the end of this world and Jacob is the beginning of the new world. Talk about low frequency huh..... America is Babylon, it will fall and burn. Those who are asleep and never wake up is because of the curses Moses, the custodian of the law, prophesied and was told by Yahweh Elohim to tell the people of Y'israel that would be. Such a spiritual blindness that will not be lifted off of majority of Jacob's seed. Let those who have an ear to hear, hear what the spirit says!
Americans aren’t African🥱 y’all just wanna claim it but you will never even visit there and embrace the culture LOL fake Africans. The real Africans are the ones born there and live the culture, you ignorant Americans have no right to claim it
This is a great song, but don’t get it twisted. If this woman is your spiritual leader then you are very lost. Jesus is the King and God over every thing. Every knee will bow to Him and every tongue will confess that He alone is the Most High God. If you’re interested in a conversation or a study LMK 👍😬
Im 24 years old i was like 10 when this came out & im a black male but idk its something about some women when they sing it just chills me out this def a classic 💯 im play this for my cougar's 😂
Faaacts. I always imagine schools teaching the children about these different timelines and “waves” on RU-vid and how certain points severely impacted society.
This beat will always be unique to me shit is so chill funky 🤝🏾🤫💯I’m not gone lie I heard this song from 2K only real niggas from 2k know this was a song you never had to skip when it came on
Heard the hook on a tumblr video, and couldn’t get it out of my head. Lol Might as well light up a nice 1 and enjoy the vibe. To anyone reading this: 💘Happy Valentines Day💌 - Signed 02/14/2023
It is because we're black. No other race can express themselves like this. Fact. We have more soul. It's in our blood. This is fact. You think a Latino or Arab can sing with this type soul? No one does like it is period
You have already answered Octavia. Because people, meaning many people, do not understand what a real talent is because they themselves do not look for it because they create limits and they just listen to the things that marketing and advertising provides
I’ve yet to meet a black person at least that doesn’t know who she is.. if you’re meaning recognition from other ethnicities then I can’t go against the grain.
Once again RU-vid keeps removing my Comment because they don't want people to know the Truth. Erykah Badu was deep! The 90s & Early 2000s was the Golden/Silver age when Music videos had LIFE and COLOR and SOUL to them. Life felt like you were in another Dimension back then like Heaven on Earth. Now we live in the Dark Age, they don't make videos or songs like this anymore. The video represents the Egyptian belief of Eternal Life. The Sun is Ra, the Moon is Isis, the Scarab Beetle is the Keeper of the Scrolls. She is a Mummy dragging her past life with her in the Desert and she's asking herself "Didn't cha know"? She speaks about making a Wrong turn in Life but gets another try which is why towards the End of the video she comes out the water which represents Rebirth. The Crop Circles toward the End represent that she is an Alien. Erykah Badu was Deep!
Alright well since this comment is getting more Recognition I'll go ahead and get Deeper. The Wrong Turn she speaks of is in her Past Life but she's merely speaking for the Egyptians. Egypt was the Underworld V that merged with Atlantis ^(God) in the Past Life. Watch Michael Jackson's video "Remember the Time" where he goes back into the past life of Ancient Egypt you will see the Sand Timer in the beginning of the Video. This is where the "As it is Above, so it is Below" concept comes from. When Atlantis ^ merged with Egypt V the underworld. How funny Michael Jackson was going into the Past Life of Egypt and there's an actual ancient Egyptian Statue of Michael Jackson from the past life of Egypt. Don't believe me, look it up "Ancient Egyptian Statue Michael Jackson" he was incarnated Archangel Michael. Yes the Egyptians were Black. Egypt itself means Kemet which means Black and Fertile Land. The Hebrews were also black. Our Black History is in Deuteronomy 28:68 as well as Genesis 15:13. We aren't the "Jews" but the JEWELS meaning the Shining Ones. Gods Chosen people. Again, the Wrong Turn she speaks of is in the Past Life before Lucifer fell as an Angel. Lucifer reigned over the V Underworld. At 0:08 you can see a burning Technological device which appears to be crashed. This represents when Lucifer fell to Earth. The Flashing Light represents Lucifer as the "Light Bearer". Lucifer is represented as a Technological device because the world is a Digital Matrix built by code and Reality is an illusion and you can only see it if your Third Eye Chakra is open. This is why God sent his Sun, not his Physical human Son but his Sun meaning his Light to the World. The word Sun comes from the Old English word Sunne. Just like Son comes from the Old German word Sonne. Sonne is also Sunne in Middle High German. German is older than the English language which proves the word Sun comes from the word Son. Sun/Son are both two corresponding words. The Bible is a manipulated book and Religion is a Lie meant to keep people sleep from knowing the Truth. A lot of things that happened in the Bible have a deeper meaning since it's been manipulated. This is why the Messiah said. John 6:38 - For I came DOWN from Heaven, not to do mine OWN will, but the will of HIM that sent me. This scripture is solid proof Gods Son DESCENDED from Heaven and was never born in the Flesh. John 3:17 - For God sent not his Son INTO the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. John 8:12 - Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. The Sun here on Earth as we know it is the LIGHT of LIFE. Gods Son was his Sun meaning his Light to the World. Humans tried to cover this up so they could brain wash people with Christianity which is a Esoteric Pagan Religion. Jesus is Zeus(Jupiter). The letter J wasn't invented until the 1600s. The first 1611 King James Bible didn't have the name "Jesus" in it but Iesous which was inserted by the Greeks who were worshiping Zeus(A Fallen Angel). That's no coincidence. It's also no coincidence that Jesus, Iesous, Zeus are all corresponding related words. The Devil is a good deceiver. What better way to FOOL the church by blending in WITH the Church? There's NO such thing as Religion but SPIRITUALITY. Most people will argue that "Jesus" is the translated version of the messiah's name but you don't translate NAMES but WORDS and their MEANINGS. If the name Jesus didn't exist until the 1600s and was NEVER the messiah's name while he was here on Earth. How did it become his name YEARS later after he was gone? It's deception. The Christians go to Church on SUNday because they worship the Underworld Sun here on Earth.(Not Gods Sun) the REAL sabbath is Saturday anyways. Look up "Egyptian Pyramid Sun" on Google Images the Pyramids are aligned and built into perfect perpendicular with the Sun so when the Sun rises it reflects light and bounces off of the Pyramid causing "illumination". This was done by the Annunaki after the PAST Life was destroyed. The Egyptian Pyramids are a structured symbol of the PAST Life. The Reason we experience DEJAVU is because it goes back to the Past Life. It's the Universe reminding you that "This is not a Coincidence this was MEANT to happen" because everything in Life is already written. It's a familiar experience because you witnessed it before you just don't know it. Before you were born you were a Soul in another Dimension and you watched your whole entire Life like a Movie. You just don't know it until you experience Dejavu. The whole concept of "Free Will" does not apply to this life but the PAST Life. The Choice we made which was in the PAST Life. This Life is a result of the PAST Life. "I think I made a WRONG turn back there somewhere" she's speaking about her PAST Life. The Planets in Space such as Mars, Venus, Neptune, Jupiter(Zeus) etc are fallen angel planets. That's why there was once Life on Mars because it goes back to the Past Life when everything was Aligned when we were all "One" before Lucifer fell as an Angel. Look on the back of your "One" dollar bill. You will see 11:11 subliminally as Four 1's. 11:11 is a WHOLE number which consist of Positives and Negatives. One Eleven belongs to God, one eleven belongs to the Devil. This represents when we were all "One" in the past life. Then you see the Egyptian Pyramid and the "All Seeing Eye" which is nothing but the Devil imitating God since God is the All Seeing One. You see it on the back of your "one" dollar bill because Money is the Flow and Current(Currency) of Life and Stability here on Earth(The Devil's World). That's why the Earth spins in 360 Degrees representing 3 6's Subliminally. One of the Biggest Lies in Christianity is the Devil was in Charge of Music which is FALSE. He/She was only in Charge of her V Underworld Music. I say he/she since Lucifer was a Female. Here's PROOF. Ezekiel 28:12 - "You were the seal of perfection, full of wisdom and perfect in BEAUTY" Revelation 17:3 - So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a WOMAN sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. Lucifer is known as a Seven Headed Dragon and is more than one person, the Woman is Lucifer the Dragon(Beast) is the Devil(Satan). They're both combined together. This is who Archangel Michael(Michael Jackson) was talking about in the song Billie Jean. Billie Jean is a metaphor for Lucifer. "She says I am the one, who will dance, on the floor, in the ROUND" when Lucifer went against God and was trying to deceive everyone. No where in the video do you see a woman and a child because Billie Jean is a metaphor for Lucifer. When he says Dance on the Floor in the ROUND it represents Music being the Rhythm and Circle of Life. The way we praise God in Heaven is through Music. "The Kid is not my Son" Michael is referring to the Underworld Sun that belonged to Lucifer before he/she fell as an Angel. In the Video there's so many subliminal messages like the Cat/Tiger who is the KEEPER of the Truth of the V Underworld. If you watch the video you notice Michael turns things into LIFE/LIGHT representing that he is Archangel Michael. And the Spy is the illuminati trying to obtain information about who he is(Archangel Michael). Again, Gods Son was his Sun not his Physical Human Son. The story of Mary being a Virgin was fabricated. Mary and Joseph never gave birth to the Son of God but a prophet named Immanuel and humans who knew the Truth tried to cover it up to make it look like Gods Son was a Physical Human Being when really he was an Extraterrestrial. Isiah 7:14 - Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. If his name was suppose to be called Immanuel, why wasn't his name called Immanuel? This is an Error they forgot to cover up while they were manipulating the Bible. Mary was NEVER a Virgin. The word Virgin was switched with the Hebrew word Almah. Almah in Hebrew means Young Woman so really Mary was a Young Woman not a Virgin. Plus the Hebrew word for Virgin is Bethulah. Where's "Jesus" childhood in the Bible? You can't find it anywhere and no it's not in Luke 2:40 that is clearly talking about Immanuel. The reason his Childhood or Teenage Pre-Adult hood isn't in the Bible and he goes from being a Baby to a GROWN man so fast is because he was never a Physical Human Being. He was a LIGHT(Gods Sun) Extraterrestrial that Descended from Heaven during the Dark Ages after Lucifer fell as an Angel. Here's another Error they forgot to cover up when they manipulated the Bible which corresponds with everything I'm saying. Luke 1:32 - He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David; Did you catch the Error? His FATHER David. So now Jesus and Joseph are brothers? And most people will argue up and down that this is talking about his forefather when it clearly says Father but if David was Jesus Grandfather that would mean Joseph was his Biological Father but according to the Bible Joseph wasn't his Biological father. See, it doesn't make any sense because it's a bunch of LIES. Can you say, manipulated book? This is SOLID evidence and proves my point they manipulated the Bible to hide the fact that Gods Son was his Sun meaning his LIGHT to the WORLD. Christianity is not the Truth. They want you to think people were walking around in Dirty Garments and Flip Flop Sandals on eating bread and drinking Wine when REALLY the people who were living like that were the people during Bible translation times. "Woe, unto thee, for I say, shall, behold!" comes from the Shakespeare Playwright Era during the 1600s when the 1611 King James Bible was established. Humans were NOT the first to create Technology. God is an Advanced Alien not some Blonde Hair Blue Eyed guy in a Dress and some Flip Flops looking like Cesare Borgia sounding like Shakespeare. The 70s, 80s, 90s was the Golden Age era. The 90s was the Climax of the Golden Age because 9 is the Highest Number in numerology. The Early 2000s was the Silver. You can clearly see the Dimensions in the Music Videos. Again, Music is the way we praise God in Heaven. It's the Circle Rotation of Life(Eternal Life). The 70s, 80s, 90s & Early 2000s was the REAL deal. The Devil took over Music and the Realms after 2005. 2 + 5 = 7. He officially took over Music in 2006. 2006 + 6 = 12. Now we live in the Dark Age. Now this is where the Mayan Calender comes into the play. 12 is a Master Number of Cycle and Bondage. 12 is the Highest number on a Clock. After the Hand passes 12, the hour ENDS and a New hour BEGINS. 12 is the last month of the year, after the year ENDS. A New Year begins. According to the Mayan Calendar the world was never suppose to END in 2012 but a New Cycle would begin and it did. The LAUNCH of the SHIFT. What Shift? The Shift between God and the Devil. 2013 was the LAUNCH of the Shift. 2 + 0 + 1 + 3 = 6 2 + 0 + 1 + 4 = 7 2014 is the Year God returns. Even the Elite know this that's why they released Biblical movies like "Son of God" and "Noah" this year. Even NASA confirmed there would be a Blood Moon this year in April 2014 Spring which corresponds with Bible prophecy saying this would be a sign before the Lords return and there already was. There are 4 Blood Moons occurring through 2014-2015 one has already occurred. They are actually Blood Moon signals or "Warning Signs" for the final Blood Moon that is coming. The Luciferian Government has been preparing everyone for years for what is yet to come with Deceptive Alien Movies such as "War of Worlds" "Battle Los Angeles" "Fallen Skies" the part where the Aliens come out of the Sky and start Zapping people and making them Disappear is the Rapture and it's coming Soon...
SoulKidVids I have yet to read into all of this and grasp this concept but I really think you need to make videos (although at the risk of being flagged, you know how YT is) or make a blog breaking down music videos, artists, culture, religion, history, etc. I really respect your knowledge and am totally intrigued.

Still can’t believe she’s actually 50. Her energy and aura is just so timeless, she could be 120 years old and i would just accept that as a hard fact.
This is my song....I always just lay in my bed in the dark and just coast off this joint! I get lifted to another dimensional plane off this shit!! man.....the thoughts that dwell off this joint!! ✌✌😌
This is so funny. When I was younger, my older cousins used to hate Erkyah Badu and always said she was weird and crazy. I laughed with them and thought the same thing because I didn't understand. Now I'm older, and I'm able to understand her and her music, she's become a favorite of mine. Such a beautiful person and beautiful music. Much respect to this woman!
Niesha B Now what does this make you think about media cultures pushed onto young african american people. How supreme is her message? How come youth think she is weird? These are the questions we should be asking and the answers we come up with need to be abolished from our culture. The answers are obvious to be honest. Peace.
ths song tells you she was suppose to... "i knew the toll but would not pay(didnt sell my soul)you never know where the cards may lay (be in the devils industry but maybe god will still allow me to remain pure in the end)
I Can Transcend to Vivid Moments in My Childhood Where Her Music Was So Prevalent & Feel The Same Emotions That I Felt Then. The Music is That Powerful. She'll Forever Be So Relevant.
Her music is so great I couldn't even form these words!! lol but I remember good summer days listening to this!! imma shed a tear y'all!!! lol for real doe
If your Voice is Half as Beautiful as your Smile and Half as Sexy as You, Just Keep Singing and Smiling, That Should Be All This World Needs!!! Or Maybe, I'm just infatuated with you,,,,. I will admit that Infatuation is never a reason to be interested in someone, but I have a strong feeling you are Not about that as it seems to me, things run Deep for you and Even Little things matter. You are Truly Beautiful, Insatiable should say it ALL. peace hunners.
Olivia Moten It says- Time to save the world Where in the world is all the time So many things I still don't know So many times I've changed my mind Guess I was born to make mistakes But I ain't scared to take the weight So when I stumble off the path I know my heart will guide me back
