What a #

I truely 4got how beautiful this song is, everything is so damn tight from the production 2 the vocals 2 the lyrics 2 the whole vibe.

My favorite tune when I was still into her.

Tron, don't tell me you ain't INTO her anymore! c'mon now lol!

Great, great song. Thought provoking lyrics.

Nope. I lost interest with "Bag Lady". Wasn't feelin' it for some reason. I did like her single from last year, "Love Of My Life" I think it was called. I was hardcore for the first album though.

TRON said:

I take it that u ain't much of a fan of "Mama's Gun", right? If so then you'll be 4ever-hooked once that album grow in you(Which may takes a long period like myself).

This song had to grow on me but I love it now. I wasn't feelin' Erykah when she first came out. I love how on the video on the breakdown, they play that hearbeat. I'm such a geek!

Harlepolis said:

Never heard it cuz I didn't like the first single.

I guess maybe I should've given it a try cuz I've heard great things about it.

TheOrgerFormerlyKnownAs said:

Sadly, I haven't seen much of her videos, only those:

Bag Lady
Didn't Cha Know
Love Of My Life

LOL I wish I could see the earlier ones tho, I heard that she DIRECTED the video 4 The Other Side Of The Game.

TRON said:

WHAAAT?

Damn Tron, if only you could realize what u done missed lol child, you'd banging yo fuckin' head against the closest wall, I'm sure about it.

I'm serious Tron, you NEED to check it out. Probably, the ONLY song you could skip is the one that u don't like(Bag Lady) but the album version is different than the single version. The album version is a live version which is hypnotic and slower.

I truely feel sorry that u haven't got the chance to hear songs like "Green Eyes" or "Cleva" or "Orange moon".

Tron Tron Tron lol if u only knew how much I'd love to gag you right now 4 not listening to this shit

Go cop it, boo!

Is it as good as the first album?

I remember when Worldwide Underground was leaked and I said I didn't like it. So why is that CD like in heavy rotation in my car, now?!

Harlepolis said:

You never On and On, Tyrone or OSOTG?

And, I just LOVE the video, back when everyone was mystified by E and her super-tall headwraps. She lifts her arms to unwrap it, and the camera pans down to watch the towel pool at her feet. Fade to black.

Erykah was having fun with the curious.


Very mellow, indeed.


Harl, good to see you back. Where ya been?

ThreadBare said:

Good 2 be seen sweetheart, I've been around, busy tho!

ThreadBare said:

Of course in the long version of the video we got to see the hair.

Harlepolis said:

It was shot entirely in once scene. U c the camera going up the staircase slowly andscary blue tint. all of a sudden the door opens up and then it stops by the bed.

Erykah all of sudden says.."Do I...want my baby" with no headwrap on, hair all notty and messy...She wakes up her boyfriend, and they get up and stuff. She turns on the radio (the same part of the song comes on in the background..shows her just ironing his clothes...stuff like that.

Then by the end...they focus out the window and u c the cops sitting outside...then she runs to go tell him and all of a sudden u see the cops arresting him..video goes off like that.

I love love love that song. But when Tyrone came out...wooo that's when she turned in2 the homegirl.

Great track...Also got to give props to The Roots who provided the musical backdrop for this song...Yeah this song played live cooks MAJORLY!!!
