Finally? She sang it on the live Roots album back in 2000. She sang it with Badu I believe at the Dave Chappelle Block Party 05/06. Anytime she's with the Roots, she's singing this HAHAHA
I was walking thru all these beautiful black people while this was happening. Singing and listening to all of our voices together. It felt like a spiritual bath of sound and vibration. I will never forget this moment. lol it’s bringing tears even now, the next morning!!!
The Way is now a timeless classic and hits me the same as it did the first time I heard it. You know they love you when theyr're ready to sing every damn lyric to a song!.
Our Aries queen, Jilly from Philly is the coldest. I’m so sad I missed this 😢. I’ve seen The Roots perform live a million times but I’ve never seen them perform “You Got Me” the way they performed it on Dave’s Block Party until this. I’m jellyyyyyyy!!!!!!!
Same! I'm an Aries and I connect with her always. I get into a zone and she's like no other, I can't wait to see her live but would love to see she and EB at the same time! What a dream ❤
The smile and the stage energy Jill emanates just illuminates every performance space she's in, and raises the vibration so high...that's what's missing in so many newer acts today, sigh.
No it doesn’t. I’ve been here my entire life and I’m very sane. It’s the people who come here chasing some dream, willing to risk their soul. Those people be crazy before they get here 🤷🏾♀️
“Jill Scott finally sings original song she wrote for The Roots”?? 🤦♂️ 😏 Jilly from Philly has performed this song with The Roots since it’s release in 1999! It’s even immortalized on their live album, The Roots Come Alive (All Access). Their best performance where Jill sings the lead vocals is on MTV’s $2bill show; it had, imo, their best lineup ever. Frankie Knuckles on percussion, Ben Kenney on lead guitar, Hub on bass and BOTH beat boxers, Rahzel & Scratch! NOBODY can touch that performance of *her* song, at the end of the performances, she purposely dropped the mic and walked off!! SHE/they KILT THAT JAWN!! 🙌🏿 By the way, Jill wrote the song with the Roots, MCA wouldn’t allow The Roots to release the song with her on vocals, they replaced her with Erykah who first blew up two years prior.
The first time I heard this song her voice was sooooooo sooothing. Then when they replaced her vocals with Erykah’s something severely changed and it didn’t sound the same. Jill’s vocals were like warm melted butter melting over notes, whereas Erykah’s were…..contrived to me. I could tell she was trying to imitate Jill’s pocket but she has her own unique sound and therefore it couldn’t quite match it for me. Then I knew they replaced Jill because either her weight or she wasn’t famous yet. But that song would have made her famous back then. Most ppl hear music with their ears not their eyes. I’m so glad Jill is singing it the way it’s was originally written to be sung……LL.By Her❤❤❤❤❤❤

The live album was the best version anyway
Yes she did on the Chapelle Show
I was about to make the same comment...and yeah, she sang it with Badu...and many times afterwards.
Exactly lol 💫
And that's the version that they sang too😅
Jill’s dress, hair, voice, performance everything was perfect. Black Thought is super dope❤️
They don't make them like this anymore. Truly a real one 💯
True!!! And praise God they make instant grits these days so she could make that and a sausage with the eggs
They do though….

I was walking thru all these beautiful black people while this was happening.
Singing and listening to all of our voices together. It felt like a spiritual bath of sound and vibration. I will never forget this moment. lol it’s bringing tears even now, the next morning!!!

She lives In Nashville with son but she's moving. She stated in interview❤
No it doesn’t. I’ve been here my entire life and I’m very sane. It’s the people who come here chasing some dream, willing to risk their soul. Those people be crazy before they get here 🤷🏾♀️
@@kmeeks92987 Your LA isn’t Jill’s LA. Respectfully.
This is her hometown, sweetie
@@pamelafrierson511 Did they name a certain cheese steak after Jill Scott?😚Called the Jilly Cheese Steak? That would be 😎 cool.
