Neo Soul is supposed to be sultry and understated, enthusiasm doesn't necessarily have to be conveyed through being loud or charismatic. Fantastic musical sensibility.
Teddy Holiday i feel like you're doing too much. I can understand if you don't care for the song. But when in the fuck, and why ?? Why would someone be shitting into a mic? What does that even sound like? If shitting into a mic sounds like what 6lack just did in this here video, then either way you're still irrelevant. Goodnight 🕇
Nah this is literally everything. He shouldn’t have been flexible with his range at all. I’ve never heard any male cover of a female song sound this good while singing in his comfortable range. His tone makes up for singing in the lower register, and also he’s a baritone covering a soprano. This cover is 🔥🔥
Let it burn forever she does, he recorded the convo they had about it on FaceTime. He told her about how he was listening to her when he got the news that his daughter was born. I love 6lack💕😍
I need a celebrity open mic. Featuring 6lack,noname, earthgang, anderson .paak, frank ocean,erykah badu, princess Nokia,smino,sir,Lucky Daye,the internet,masego,ari Lennox,and India arie. Edit: Add artist you want to see under my comment
tru shit bru if more people listen to the music instead of jus hearing it they would realize they sum nappin mf's and missing out on some pure audio dope! Free 6lack is one of the dopest debut albums ive heard in a min and homie deserves his respect and shine
Tanae Horton haha bless you, I did. I'll be critiqued the same way, all greatness that's misunderstood will be attacked. People's ego and insecurities/shortcomings show so ugly. If you don't like something, simply tune out. Why project negativity?
Hadj of DSE That so true if only everyone thought like this. The world would be a more peaceful place. Negativity kills and love keeps us alive. God bless you
I'm glad that this type of music is not for everyone. This music is for special people only. It's so clean and clear that I understand every word. This song was meant for him. And his expression is everything.
The ease in which he sings and yet incredible sound, it's like he's been singing this since the day he was born. I mean the original is phenomenal but this is definitely the best cover ever.
Really appreciate the artistry. Artist's like 6lack and many others are proof that everyone doesn't need to be an amazing vocalist to be able to sing. Just find your key and stay in your lane. You might have an amazing voice if you do

Smoking a joint in my room at 5 am. 1 month since i moved to uni in the netherlands, “ im feeling high, my moneys gone, im all alone” this bangs so hard
6LACK did perfect with this. He didn't need to emulate Erykah exactly. If this is what we can get from a new artist in 2017, I'm happy with it. It could have been mumbled in the current state of music
WOWwwwww...... Brother 6BLACK your voice is so smooth. I keep listening to for so many reasons because it certainly comes from within you. God Bless You, thank you for sharing. ~Kimberly~
Thats my dear is bc you're not a true fan! But she did it fine, he just is singing it incredibly slow, its okay I know this generation is special(dont come for me i dont mean retarded! Just different, thats all, yeah!)Surpised you all know who she is!

Greatness will always be critiqued by those less qualified. Bless 6lack

Great voice. Soulful af
A little soulLESS. But still good.

Two of my most favourite female singers in one video, Erykah Badu and Sade. Love this version.
I'm glad that this type of music is not for everyone. This music is for special people only. It's so clean and clear that I understand every word. This song was meant for him. And his expression is everything.
I liked it, and the twist he added to the hook. His voice kind of has an quality that reminds me of Badu, but I never made the connection until now
He kinda sounds like a more polished Frank Ocean
People just aren’t use to seeing 6lack like this.
CHRISTI XX first time hearing him and i love it! Could you suggest a good song?
Mariama Lamar Check out his Free 6lack album. I recommend Free or Worst Luck.
Fr^
& he sounds good af truly
That's it
CHRISTI XX I only heard a few of his tracks but NEVER KNOW is one that i like a lot
he reminds me of mos def
Tiffany Hawkins voice is the same forreal
Tiffany Hawkins looks like mos sound like k-os
Yasiin Bey in the flesh! Lol on the real though 6lack is dope!
This song is sampled by Mos Def in "Mathematics". The line "do your math"
Yes.
The ease in which he sings and yet incredible sound, it's like he's been singing this since the day he was born. I mean the original is phenomenal but this is definitely the best cover ever.
6LACK deserves so much more credit, i stg
He’s amazing live. I had a meet and greet ticket and got to meet him yesterday in San Antonio. Y’all should go to a concert he’s humble af!
Brittany Foley He seems like it, in all his interviews ge doesnt seem like the kind to gloat and be above anyone.
This cover is pretty good!!!! Wtf are y'all smoking. 😂😂😂
KING TIM some fire. Love this shit
This jam
It’s fire! They buggin haten on this.
This is so dope
Weed. And I enjoyed it
So In Love with his voice! 😍
I love eryka's and 6lack's vibes so much so to hear them mesh together like this is just pure perfection 🤩
his voice suits this song so muchhhhhhh
I already New it was going to be fire had to like it before he even started
Diana Pineda knew* and comma after "fire"
Off Brand or semi colon after fire
Diana Pineda same here haha
Same !
I guess on and on describes this run on sentence .
ugh. he has such a jazzy voice 😍
This dude is special...self taught singer, Neo Soul type style of singing with his slight scratchy and raspy voice... talented!
Dig how my guy put his own on top without straying from the original melody. Sweet execution, sweet vibrations 🤙🏾
True
The world doesn't deserve 6lack
Really appreciate the artistry. Artist's like 6lack and many others are proof that everyone doesn't need to be an amazing vocalist to be able to sing. Just find your key and stay in your lane. You might have an amazing voice if you do
Perfect tone didn't put too much on it .. right in pocket 💯💯💯💯💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
The movement of his hands while he is singing is life🔥

I love him... hes so laid back and calm.... hes not trying hard its just flowing and natural!!!
One of my favorite covers in a long time. Did this track justice well done
6Lack covering Erykah Badu while wearing a Sade t-shirt. Triple greatness.
You gotta watch this twice to appreciate it... But after that you will get addicted.
I'm addicted your right .

Knoxus99 which album
The Estatic
Listen to Umi Says
If mos def had a baby
I didn’t know how much I needed to hear this cover !
6LACK did perfect with this. He didn't need to emulate Erykah exactly. If this is what we can get from a new artist in 2017, I'm happy with it. It could have been mumbled in the current state of music
His vibe is so smooth all the time, love his energy
WOWwwwww...... Brother 6BLACK your voice is so smooth. I keep listening to for so many reasons because it certainly comes from within you. God Bless You, thank you for sharing. ~Kimberly~
They should do a collaboration 🔥
Jac Croc that'll be epic like she came out new album work with the r&b artist like her 6lack the weeknd and Frank ocean
officaltmulababy I would buy that. her Cole n Kendrick on 1song dam
Jac Croc I'll put her and those two on different songs you'll get better content her and Cole now deff don't need Kendrick on that same track
1:29 my favorite part 😍
