Yes, that was definitely Eve rapping. It was a Philly thing. The Roots and Eve are from Philly. Although Erykah Badu is singing the hook, Jill Scott actually wrote it. Jill is also from Philly. Erykah is from Texas. A great song from the Legendary Roots crew to check out is a song called "The Next Movement"
The remix with Jill Scott is 🔥 too. I think its on RU-vid. Because also originally Jill was suppose to sing the hook, Erykah was singing. Forgot why that changed. She in a interview said why. Also check out Kindred The Family Soul video " Where Would I Be" great song & video.
Man that's classic Roots there. Storytelling and playing at its best. Black Thought, Badu, Eve, Malik B., Leonard "Hub" Hubbard, Scott Storch, Jill Scott, Kamal Gray and QuestLove all contributed to this masterpiece from the album "Things Fall Apart." The lineup changed a lot over the years, but they still going. Peace to Rahzel. RIP Leonard "Hub" Hubbard and Malik B.
in a World of Wutang, snoop, jarule , west coast, east coast, busta, luda , this was for the hiphop purists, coldest flow and Badu on the hook, i wanted this dudes boots so bad 😂
The female rapper is definitely Eve from before she joined Ruff Ryders. I think she was still with Dr. Dre's Aftermath label at the time the song was recorded.
This is an interesting song as there are multiple dope versions of it. The one you checked out is the album version with Eve and Erykah Badu. There's also a Spanish version: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KdfBEfqw7Z4.htmlsi=4I5vaH6Br8nuOAXA And the one with Jilly from Philly: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vuxmNs578lE.htmlsi=IIG5SNTHZSp27qLh And the one with Erykah Badu AND Jill Scott . ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-f9dpaTiNPW8.htmlsi=J31btBVJAKcM2EOL
