"That song, "You Got Me," ended up on one of the Roots' albums with the part Scott had created sung by Erykah Badu, an artist to whom Scott has often been compared; the group's label, MCA, felt that the presence of a better-known name would increase the album's drawing power."

because Badu can sing it better than Jill can sing her own damn song

no disrespect to Jill but Erykah's version is miles better

and she was a star at that time; Jill was not. Simple business/math.

I'll leave it alone babe...just be me
