Erykah Badu - Penitentiary Philosophy (Bass Cover) 

Bass playing goes without question. But her musicology blows me away for some one so young. This song is a deep cut on the LP. Keep on Keeping on Julia

I see you cover a song i dont already know and it becomes the original for me BECAUSE IT'S SO GOOD

A knack for picking absolute slamming funk tracks must not be overlooked. 👏

I've started playing bass because of your videos. I still watch one from time to time these days. I really am amazed by your sheer skill.

One of my fave Badu joints. Extremely underrated. Awesome work 👏🏾 👏🏾👏🏾

I see Julia, I click immediately.

THERE SHE GOES - DOING IT - AGAIN!!!

Julia delivers the grooviest bass licks to some seriously cool tunes; she's tenacious, she's going far. Extra style points for rocking an awesome hair bun. 🤘

Dang, I'd forgotten how killer Mama's Gun is from start to finish.

There are no videos I click on faster than Julia's. And they NEVER disappoint.

This is an excellent demonstration of the impact of dynamics. Also it's a sick ass groove, performed fantastically as always.

It's one of my favorite songs by Badu!! Excellent cover of Pino Pallatino rendition added W/ you own style. 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

*The Silent Assassin has slayed the groove once again!* 🎯 #Groovy #Funky #Fabulous 💜💫✌🏼🎵

Julia’s feel and groove is consistently awesome…and that tone gets me every time! Love it.

Love your music picks and your bass sound and skills. Awesome.

Being 70 years old I am unfamiliar with most of the music you cover Julia, but i can't deny that I enjoy them after watching you play my favorite instrument to perfection. I love your expressions as you play. It makes the performance even a notch higher, IF THAT IS POSSIBLE!

I'm a bass player. I love watching Julia's videos. I will never be as good as she is, but she inspires me to learn some new licks. 😁 She is so creative and musical and in the groove. My favorite RU-vid bassist! More, please . . .

Interesting right hand technique during the slow part. In the 20 years I've been playing I haven't been able to master that technique very well playing with my thumb like I would an index or middle finger. The hand position allows great articulation and that's just speaking to all the work and time you have put into your craft! Keep thumping!

GIRRRRRRRRLLL!!!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 One of my favorite Badu songs and you nailed it!!!! Amazing talent! Thank you for making my night and reviving this musical joint… that bass was everything!!!

I've been missing these videos so much! Fantastic!

What an awesome tone!! Thanks Julia, fantastic as always!

She loves it, she feels it, and her playing shows it. Effortless talent. Just amazing to watch!

I already love to watch Julia playing, and I love even more when it leads me to discover new amazing songs and bass lines!

Listening to Erykah Badu for the last hour brought me here........thank God! Your base playing is off the freaking scale! Pure funky base lines to an underated Badu song. I am now a follower and fan. Can't wait to see what else you have posted. ❤

Taking on this masterpiece like it's natural... It just seems you've come up to that stage, Julia! Congratulations!
