I am a 50 yr old man, married for 23yrs, with 3 grown sons. My wife, my mother and everybody else of any relevance in my life knows my timeless affection and admiration for Ms. Jill Scott. A unique blend of intelligence, sensuality, sexuality, activism, empathy and unparalleled beauty. Oh and she is a dope artist! Thx for this podcast, Ms. Hill.
It's 2024 and I watched this for the first time and loved every single minute of this. What a great interview. I loved listening to and watching you both. This was soul filling and a warm drink. Thank you for keeping this interview out there. ❤❤❤❤
That's Mrs. Hill lol
Couldn't have said that ANY better!! TOTALLY agree about Ms. Scott and Mrs. Hill
I needed to learn of her research into other countries. It certainly has spurned me to dip into more in terms of seeking other places to live in this climate of the US…
There is the perpetual sparkle that is in Jill Scott's eyes, and I absolutely love it!
Very first thought I had when the video started too
When her first album came out with the image of her face as a little girl I realized that she lived down the street from me and as an adult she came to my job to get copies of her picture when she was doing spoken word in Philly. Then I realized we used to ride public transportation together. She would wear a black top hat and a black body suit. A couple of years later I met her through a friend and she recognized me from riding the bus although we had never spoken to each other. She greeted me saying "You're the 33 Lady!" She was down to Earth then and it seems that she has remained that way.
Her first Album was Who is Jill Scott?
Everything about her is so beautiful: The cadence of her voice, the inflection of her voice, the truth, honesty and passion in her voice. Her smile….. 😍
Listen I’m mesmerized 😩😍
You forgot her eyes
Yessssssssssss
I worked on the crew of Dave Chapelle block party.
Jill sang a song I hadn’t heard.
She said “I can bring home the bacon, pay all the bills, but I don’t want to! I’m tired! I want some help!”
That was the most “true human” statement I ever heard from a modern soul singer and it just resonated with me.
I thought it was bold and courageous.
Sounds like "I need you"
I Actually! Payed $ To Watch Dave Chappelle's Block Party In A Theater, Bougt The Soundtrack The Same Week, Jill & Badu, Did A Lot Of Freestyling...
My husband and I went to her last concert before the lock down. She told us to savor that moment, because we never know when we will be together like that again. It was literally the next day or two and the World shut down!!!! Thank you for that Jill because sweet love was made!!! 😜❤️
The Dallas show?
Must've been the Houston show, I was there too lol
I saw Babyface right before the lockdown.❤ You have to seize the day!
In my 47 yrs...certain VOICES has never left me...Anita Baker, Deniece Williams, Angela Winbush...as JiLLs' voice seemingly speaks directly to me.
🤜🏾🤛🏾
@@lovelarai4387 ONE LOVE...
Love me some Jill Scott. She's so organic, inspiring,and talented. Her spirit is hard for ANYONE to resist 😍
I did radio full time in Atlanta and hands down SHE was thee best interview I'd ever had. Watching this brought back good memories of the business. I love her spirit.
Her spirit is unmatched. Indeed Beautifully Human.
Jill is so pretty! 😍 😍
Not 30 mins of Crown Royal...Babyyyyy....Whew!!!! I'm here for it!
I was in tears the entire 1 hour, 8 minutes, and 35 seconds!!!! I love Jill Scott and this was like a personal conversation with her and getting to know more about her and her journey! WOW!!!! My soul NEEDED this!!
So weird! Cause I am crying too...like a proud mom or something!! Lol!
🤣@@ericajpierce
Definitely 💯💕!!!
I’ve seen Jill in concert 12 times and my 11th time…someone close to Jill noticed me during the show and struck up a convo and I was able to meet Jill and it was an experience I’ll never forget. We spoke about 15 mins about life and music and i was able to tell her how much her music means to me and how my mom was an Aries and Jill is an Aries so I feel that female Aries presence stays in my life. Being able to thank her and no I didn’t scream or overreact I was very chill. I hope to meet her again in the near future. ❤❤❤❤
It was the summer of 2001 and I was not hip to Jill Scott. There was a concert in Detroit featuring Erykah Badu, Macy Gray, Sunshine Anderson, and Jill Scott. I was already an Erykah Badu fan and excited to see her. I believe it was Sunshine that was not able to make it so they brought on Jill early. OMG Jill Scott took us on a ride that I have not got off since! This woman is amazing. One of those artists you can listen to every song on the album. She writes and sings from a real place which is rare in today's music. And she is a great actress!
So very true!😊
Oh my goodness, this interview felt like two good friends just chatting it up. Thank you so much Jill for being authentic & radiant from the inside out! Stay bold, funny, covered, awesome.
Jill Scott is an Aries like myself and we do enjoy the simply life the most. Although don't get it twisted we're not the people to abuse. We love you Jill🎉🎉🎉🎉
Yes as a fellow Aries I totally agree! We Aries are as real and down to earth as they come but don't test us or mistake our sweetness for weakness.
Loved Jill in Lady Detective Agency. Beautiful and talented sister. Her concerts are amazing
Jill Scott is just naturally beautiful with such a kind spirit 💫
I was 15 when Jill came out and my mom bought us tickets to go see her on her first tour…..I got put on punishment bc I lied about being out with my boyfriend and she didn’t let me go…I WAS DEVASTATED. Now I seen Jill plenty of times, but I’m still salty I didn’t get to see baby Jill. Now my 15 year old daughter is singing her album cuts🥹….can’t wait to take her to the Roots Picnic bc it will be EPIC!!!
Where when????❤
What a full circle moment!
Very similar story! Not seeing Jill LIVE, as a child, is definitely a punishment! I’ve too seen her since being an adult and I appreciate the experience even more! Everything happens for a reason!
RIGHT?! When and where is this picnic? @@queenfaye5226
I remember when Jill Scott would come on the radio on Temple University radio (the show is called "The Bridge" with J. Michael Harrison. The show still comes on. PLEASE check it out) she would do her poetry WAY before the debut album came out. My mom (R.ise I.n P.ower) would listen & I'll never forget I told my that she's going to be big. Low & behold we got "Jilly From Philly". ❤ me some her.
31:35 I’d tune into “Discovering Shit with Jill Scott!” All day every day and twice on Sundays!❤ Actually Jemele and Jill together are a match made in my queendom heaven!
Getting the back story on Crown Royal is amazing. I finally saw her live in Newark, NJ and my grin, and heart matched through the whole performance.She is worldly and loving.
I wish the song was longer ❤😊❤
Crown Royal is one my favs
Shout out to all the Day 1's...Heard "Who is Jill Scott"? blasting through the halls of Howard Plaza Towers in the summer of 2000! Never looked back.
Jemele Hill All I Can Say is Thank You!! The mic is always on with Jill Scott!!🎤🎤 Jill is My all time favorite Hands Down!! 🎶🎶
Ms Jill has no idea how much we all absolutely ADORE her and her music. Chilllle no one can touch her to this day. She is her own lane.❤❤❤❤
Jill Scott is simply the best! She is a wonderful singer and actress!
Jill just picks the wrong men.
Indeed 👏🏾✨👑❤️
Jilly from Philly is my BFF in my head! Thank you for continuing to share your gift with us 💜
Same 🙋🏾♀️❤️
We were at that same concert….massive snow storm and slid right on down to St. Andrew’s and it was the most perfect night! Have seen Miss Scott five times and absolutely adore her. Last year at The Fox, she performed Who Is Jill Scott from start to finish! Pure perfection!!! We had tickets in 2020 and the world stopped. “Crown Royal”, “Rolling Hills”, “Fool’s Gold” and getting to hear her perform “Slowly, Surely”…love that woman!
I'm So happy to have come across this interview. I LOVE Jill Scott.
Not only is she one of my favorite singers, but I think she has "THEE" BEST SPEAKING VOICE!
this was such a great interview! I love how this was like two friends/sisters just having a conversation about everything and nothing! Love this!
Jill you are my soul sister❤ One of the best Artist in the world! I love your genuine, soft real homegirl spirit. The authenticity is beautiful sis❣️Stay being you. There is no other way to be girl. Please extend Crown Royal! It is a soul, heart and womb shaker. I cant wait girl‼️💯- A True Fan
Oh this was from 2021..thanks for reposting🎉
Her acting 🎥 game is LEGIT🎙🎵🎶🎼💐 EXCELLENT INTERVIEW🎙✌
I see Jill, I click 👀👂🏾
Same! I'm here for her! Loved the two shows I was able to attend. She is an experience! 😍😍😍🤩
My first time seeing Jill was on Jones Beach back in 20..... All I remember is her voice reverberating over the ocean
and I had chills for months!!!!
Wow
Which 1 the block party or sugar water tour?
Jill Scott my Aries queen my favorite singer and if you never seen her perform live trust it is worth every second ❤. A must see artist
I just love me some Jill Scott. There is no other! The way she writes, composes her songs, she paints the picture and evokes emotions in you. So sensual and sexy. Love her femininity, softness and realness. Your soungs have been a soundtrack to many moments in my life. Jill made me fall in love wirh the City of Brotherly Love. I saw her perform at Chastain Park and brought Anthony Hamilton and Dougie Fresh. I stood all night and she gave an encore performance for the "Light of the Sun" album. This was herr sexy era. It was the best concert, rain and all. Love Jill. I'm ready for another album. Oh and Crown Royal is a whole sexy, sensual vibe!!! Jill is a Wordsmith!!! She got me back into journaling when we "Who Is Jill Scott" was introduced to the world. I remember Frank Ski in Atlanta playing her music in rotation.
Jill puts on a great show. The best live performance ever, her voice, her range everything. Her voice is golden. I saw at Chastain in Georgia. I have every one of her albums. And she's a great actress.
Love Jill Scott. When she performs she never disappoints
Great interview ! Jil still stunning as ever, can't wait for your next project.
Jill is exceptionally blessed in so many ways
Glad I watched until the very end, I sensed this was recorded a little while ago (2021). As a day one, it is always a pleasure hearing Jill speak. Beautifully Human is my personal favorite. It was stunning to learn that she was dealing with so much anxiety and near resistance to fame during that period in her career. Her response re: why Crown Royal is so short "its all I had to say" LOL! Priceless. I will be a life long fan. 💗
My husband introduced me to Jill!!! Wow 20 years in 2020!!!
Jill Scott is one of my top FIVE Favorite humans…a true friend in my heart and mind. Thank you Jemele and Jill for sharing these moments.
Beautiful sisters! Mrs. Hill, I’m enjoying your platform. Mrs. Scott, thank you for such great music and originality
!
I saw her on her bus tour. When she sang words and sounds all slow, songs fast and fast songs slow.. it was amazing!
Jill is THE best, one of the best interviews that I have heard in a long time!!! Big props to Jamele for asking wonderful questions and the great exchange that Jill and you had. Chef’s kiss!!!!
Two of my favorite women together made my day. Detroit Mumford Mustang Alum Mrs. Hill, thank you for this conversation and for repping us so well. Ms. Jill Scott, you are one of my favorite artists. I agree that every concert is an experience. I always describe it as having a conversation with one of my girls. You make everyone feel welcome, and it feels like we are chilling in your living room. You are going to sing, laugh, cry, and sing some more. Thank you for being an inspiration
I remember the DAY I purchased the CD and played it non STOP! It was something so dope and special about her and this CD. I'm a fan for life!!!!!!!
I enjoyed this interview so much. It was nice hearing Jill Scott’s insight.
I love her so much…she is so talented.
Thank you for this treat🥰🤗
Jill Scott has one of the most dynamic voices I've ever heard ❤
Love you Jill! The weekend I spent hosting you in Atlanta for The Trumpet Awards Meet the Authors event and you nicknaming me "Complete", is still the most cherished memory I hold. Every time I think about the hotel incident the day you were leaving, I crack up! 😂 May God continue to bless you. Peace & Blessings.
"I talk to them in colors and scenarios." I felt that. Gotta tap into that in my work. I ❤ Jill!
The way I remember the moment I heard Jill scott for the first time….I remember it as clearly as some people remember september 11th. Her music kept me alive.❤
I’ve seen Jill multiple times in Chicago. OMG she says everything my heart feels and my mouth can’t say. The voice the voice the VOICE!!! Angelic!!!
Jill you are hands down MY FAVORITE ARTIST!!! 💕❤
I'm so happy and thankful artist, although few and far between these days, are still around and giving us joy and happiness, and Philly I don't know what's in them cheese steaks or water that produces such goosebump giving artist but thank you and I pray one day to see the amazing Jill Scott in Southeast Asia. May the Almighty continue to bless and protect you and your loved ones💕
I f.......❤ Jill Scott, too, Jemele☺️ A day 1 for sure🙋🏽♀️🔥
Jemele you have outdone yourself tonight, I'm going to be a regular now. I lived every minute of this I interview. Jill, you are so beautiful thank you for sharing with us. Jemele wasn't flattering you I feel the same way.❤
This is so rich and beautiful...Thank you for this incredible interview! :) Jill Scott's music has been such a positive force, it reflects back to us the beauty of what we are/can be, in love, and in relationship to one another. Her words seem to flow organically, without filter, just genuine, soulful expression, giving us the freedom to sit back relax, and enjoy.
I love this interview! I purchased tickets to see Jill Scott March of 2020. Of course it got canceled. I was crushed. But I had seen her 3x by then. I even took my daughter to see her. Thank you for this interview!❤
Mrs. Jill Scott is so Peaceful and Dope all in one Being. Wow❤
I can talk to Jill and listen to her for hours!!! ❤
Jill is so beautiful, confident, graceful...
Love Jilly from Philly. I introduced my husband to Jill's music when we first began dating 20 years ago. We are both still rocking with her together. Jill Scott and Miss Jackson if ya nasty are his 2. Only two women he has my blessing for. 😂😂❤
Jill, your twin is here in MD. Girl, when JW spoke on you, I was floored and in disbelief. Girl, I just love your genuineness, realism. You are my kind of people. I would love to have you a part of my health and wellness naturalpathic event. ❤
I was at the St Andrew's show too! We waited in line in all that snow! One of the very best shows ever!
I love me some Jill Scott! I was supposed to see her in GA but days before Rona shut everything down. I was so sad. But lastbyear she came to Houston and babbbbyyyy!!!! I drove and enjoyed myself. She will forever be a favorite. Every song is a vibe and evokes emotion. Thats what i need all of my music to be.
Such a good and real talk interview! Thanks Jemele and Jill!!👏🏽👏🏽
Let me tell you I enjoyed this Interview and I have had the pleasure of seeing Jill Scott in Concert numerous times and its always a Vibe and an experience. I have had the pleasure of meeting her a few times and she makes you feel so special and like a best friend and a like a good pair of old worn jeans that you never want to get rid of no matter how tattered or torn because they fit just right and feel so good and part of you.Jill Sott is beautifully human and so Incredibly Dope. Her music is so nostalgic.I can't wait to see her Live again!One of the best things things to ever happen to music!Loveeee her and The Roots!❤❤❤❤
JILL SCOTT is just a LEGEND. Love the essence of this woman. My aries sister! 🤎💖🤎
I just celebrated my 50th last year at the Aruba soul fest and experienced Jill Scott live front row! It was absolutely amazing! Then to top it off, she was actually on my plane ride home! Love my some Jill!
I was at that St. Andrews Hall concert!!! It was perfect!
I thought is was pickled beets too! 😂 Ohhh, it's big ole beats😂
"THEM" is an amazing moving. Absolutely incredibly shot and written
Jill is my favorite poet, emotionalist. She is "woman" in touch with feelings. What a gift.❤❤❤ That green against her skin is beautiful. Our black is so beautiful. Two beautiful little sistahs. Two Angels, humble and down to earth.❤
Yes to the extended version of Crown Royal!!!!!
I saw Jill at Augusta ga my hometown! I absolutely loved the show 😊
Ms. Jilly From Philly - YOU ARE so dynamic, talented, calming, beautiful, sensual and gifted! I saw you in #Toronto 🇨🇦 and I will never forget that concert! You are phenomenal! Love you for so many reasons but, one of the biggest reasons is, because you helped me embrace my body and my beauty! I’m grateful for your gift! ❤️✨👑 #CrownRoyal is one of those joints Indeed!
I love me some Jill Scott, I could feel her energy❤❤
I was a fan from the 1st album, my fav album is of course the album she thgt no one wld like🤷🏾♀️...ovr the past few years I'd been craving new music like a junkie, but to hear how she is experiencing this life was just as admirable as her music!❤
❤I have seen this extraordinary songbird five times and will see her five more (prayerfully) before I’m called home. Her gift is wonderful and she is a “STAR “
I saw her do Poetry in a small old library in my hometown…No Words!!!💐💐💐She is a Phenomenal Being ❤
Just a beautiful interview. Enjoyed so very much and I love Jill Scott.
I was a freshman in high school when I heard her first album, my mom had it. It all started from there ❤
Been a fan since her debut album in 2000, seen her twice in England and still have great memories of the performances, a super dope artist.
I am a Day One fan. I have seen Jill live 2 glorious times and it is 1 and 2 of my top 5 concert lists.
Was blessed to see Ms Jill Scott at Pier 6 in Baltimore years during her 1st Albumn, "Who is Jill Scott?" What a Blessing!
Beautiful Queens! Thank you for both of your contribution to womanhood and to the world. Peace and many blessings to you both.
I went to middle school with Mrs. Jill Scott in Philly, what a great experience, what a great artist.
I feel like I’ve watched this before, having a major deja vu moment! Well, I enjoyed it again..😂
How we 10 minutes in and yall got me ready to vibe to Crown Royal! When that came out all I could do was "woooooo"!!!!!! Yes ma'am!!!!❤
I still listen to Jill Scott albums. Specifically Vo. 1 and 2
I do have her collection but those 2 albums are 🔥🔥👌
My daughter’s friend came over one day and said “your home looks like you listen to Jill Scott”. Best compliment from a teen I have ever gotten. Jill drips sassy class. I love her!
This interview/conversation was everything!!! I love Jill Scott! ❤
The likeness of Jill Scott and Left Eye Lopez (R.I.P.)… is not unreal… but real… the more Jill Scott spoke… I kept seeing Left eye Lopez I must say… And as well… truly that first album was a masterpiece… coming from all the gifts of God… just hoping one day you could truly use your gifts to spread the gospel… to fully surrender / submit and Let God use you in a mighty and loving way… because so many artists died worldly wealthy but was spiritually broke… when gain the whole world to lose your soul was spoken… let your clear understanding of Gods Word be a light to the yoke… as the return as a thief of the night draws near… don’t be… don’t be spiritually broken… lightly I must say… I love the way how Sista Souljah said in the beginning of the Public Enemy Buck Whylin song “We are at War”… a spiritual awakening in Jesus Christ name, amen
Ran across this totally by accident. Very very very good interview!!!
Peace and blessings to you both. Loved the energy and easy banter between you ladies. Glad I found my way here. Thanks so much.
I was just listening to the "Who Is Jill Scott?" album.
I looovvveee Jill Scott! Her ability to tell a story through her music, each album has s impeccable! She is timeless. She is everything!
Sometimes it feels the interviewer is not actually taking in Jill’s oh so beautiful responses - I know she’s listening, but the way she just bluntly cuts to the next question. Feels more from her head than her heart. Thankfully we could listen to Jilly talk allllll day so that carried it. Loved this!💜
