all's i know about her is that she did a song that had a sample from "backstabbers" in it...


Thats Angie Stone honey

see? what the heck do i know, they all sound the same 2 me evillol


Nah,,you know them,,,you're just foolin' around wink
you easily know the difference.at least Jill has some Original Songs.Angie Stone is like the Vintage Soul Puffy.Cover Every Song that My Parents Played at a Bar B-Que.and while it was Cool for a Minute it wasn't meant for a whole two Albums&Build a Career off of it.Angie Stone has a Good Voice but Damn Her&Clive Davis are just Playing the Puffy play all the older Soul Records Game&Trying to Pass it off as a Career.

Thats what I don't like about her, altho the sistah got some mad talent. Eva seen her live?? Whew she did an alright cover of Donny's "A Song For You". Whiteny sang the same song back in 91.

I knew I won't get away with this without somebody hammering me. Read my post carefuly my brotha,,,I wasn't bringing her down. I was just questioning why do ppl find her stuff "uinque"?? What did I miss?? Hell, I made this thread 2 "get to know about her stuff" betta so It could be easy 4 me to dig her stuff. Maybe my "approach" wasn't all that but my attintions were neva bad.

I'm no hater wink I'm just someone who happens 2 respect the woman but want 2 know what is she saying that make her that "special" 2 you ppl thats all.

***U said it...your "approach" rather dry? This is your thread & I read what U wrote. I ain't mad at'cha...Everybody don't have 2 feel her or like her...but lets not make Jill sound so common. Everbody female in music blows like that...(wrong) Thats one reason why shes "special". Respect U say & hyping shit is a bad mixture of words. Having respect is something that comes with clean thinking, & we know shit ain't clean. I understand your not bringing her down, but I think U know there are better wayz 2 express your thoughts. Your whole "Badu can put her on shame whenever" kinda talk speaks of how somebody would speak of 2-men boxing ...This is music, and thats your opinion on it, but not a "fact". Big difference.

What's real, is that Badu has a healthy luv and respect 4 Jill. So your thinking if they had a one on one duel is off track, when they ain't even thinking about that silly issue dig? If U tryin 2 feel Jill's music and understand it..why even bring up that talk? 2 all your "what so" questions about Jill...The only way 2 get a real feel (personal one) 4 what she brings 2 the table is 2 buy the CDs & let it speak 2 U, then maybe you'll get what shes about & where shes going in her music...and if shes even (unique)

The other remark of "generically soulful" was not directed towards what U wrote

U didn't want a lite corny reply right...so i gave it 2 U thick, but level*smile

I Respect Her&Her Hustle.The Sister has Been in the Biz 20 years&Still doing Her thing.I have seen Tapes of Her Live.She did a Duet on the New Earth,Wind&Fire Album as well Coming soon.I Respect Her Talent but I'm not happy with Her&Clive Davis Playing the Soul Puffy karoke Machine&trying to sell it for 20 Bucks.

I Don't get it Really.She is a decent Poet.Decent Singer.I think Live She is Better.Can't stand Her Cover Songs.She didn't do ArethaFranklin Justice at the Aretha Diva's Special on VH1&Her Take on Michael Jackson's "you Can't Win" was plain Campy.I think She is Juicy.I Like Ladies of all Sizes&Colors&She keeps my Eyes Glassy but as a Artist She Just doesn't Show me a Long term thing.I'll buy a Hits Package&I Would Go to Her Show but Beyond that nothing else.


Thats EXACTLY what I feel about Jill Scott. You just said my peace Mr.Maxxx nod

Nothing in this thread is a "fact". What you read are all opinions and yes sir once again I think that Eryka can put Jilly on shame(MUSICALY) but thats only my opinion. Plus, the reason why I'm mentioning Eryka's name is becoz 4 the simple fact that I *relate* 2 her music more than Jilly. That doesn't mean I was trying to make it sound like they have beef 2ghether. U just read it that way lol wink


What's real, is that Badu has a healthy luv and respecet 4 Jill. So your thinking if they had a one on one duel is off track, when they ain't even thinking about that silly issue dig? If U tryin 2 feel Jill's music and understand it..why even bring up that talk? 2 all your "what so" questions about Jill...The only way 2 get a real feel (personal one) 4 what she brings 2 the table is 2 buy the CDs & let it speak 2 U, then maybe you'll get what shes about & where shes going in her music...and if shes even (unique).


Well, I already got the CDs and why I posted my "what so" questions is *AGAIN* 2 know what ppl have seen in her style that I didn't see(like I said earlier) listening 2 what she has to say wasn't enough thats basicaly why I made this thread in the 1st place,,dig?? My opinion about her stuff ain't bad and ain't good, just avarage but thats becoz I'm missing something.



The other remark of "generically soulful" was not directed towards what U wrote

U didn't want a lite corny reply right...so i gave it 2 U thick, but level*smile


Thank u and mad props but I wish it was enough.

She reminds me of the fat girl with the skinny pussy.

She, like Rkelly, sound like underacheivers on their studio albums.

If that's "exactly" how she feels, Harlepolis also likes ladies of all sizes and colours while Jill keeps her eyes "glassy". neutral

I like her music, she's an addition to Erykah Badu's music, DeAngelo's, ...she's been said to have a 'honey-coated' voice, her voice is sweet, and her music is nice, it gets one through the rainy days straight through, I think that's what cool about the album, I don't have the second one, but the lady just got a cool sound, compared to so many 'made up' others...

B4 u hammer me and flame m with yo words, I got a great deal of respect and love 4 Jilly. However, I see alot of ppl giving her props more than she deserve and say that her stuff is unique and I'm like "whats so unique" don't get me wrong yo I like it but I just can't get whats soo unique about it. Everytime I listen 2 it I say to myself "this is philly's soul period and yes its neo-soul alright" but the thing is I'm hearing this from everybody(not from her alone) so why keep hyping her shit when she ain't alone on this.

Now, I'd understand if they said that about Erykah Badu cuz the woman have something thats def DIFFERENT than anything out there. Something you could NEVER label. In my opinion, Erykah can put Jilly on shame anytime she wants to.

But I wanna know what I'm missing here?? Like I said whats so special about Jilly. Please,,don't give me corny answers like "everything" or "her whole vibe".

jill has a classic vibe like a billie holiday, she scats, and pronounces her word eloquently, she is a true singer, not a size 3 manufactured r&b act. she's real and displays true passion in her work. erykah put her out there but won't let jill give her all the credit. but as far as vocal range jill is out there but they don't have beef and everyone in the philly circuit i believe will get their turn to shine, we just want some real music and i have alot of the so called neo-soul albums and i get something different from each one.

Ok..scrolled slowly to make sure I didn't see any
Erykah Badu haters or you would get a brick

(New Erykah 3/30/03)

But Jill is extremely talented and should get mad love. I love her live vs recorded but thats my opinion.
