They're invoking the spirits of the ancestors, this song takes me back to ancient Egypt with those chords and that electric guitar 🎸 transcends you to the universe as Jill laments and lilts , we become part of the universal tapestry through the power of music and sound. Yassssmammawork it's just a matter of my Soul 😇 GivethanXxo 💪🙏🥰😍🤩🥰 absolutely amazing you got me. The Roots and Jill Scott are badass🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
God Damn...This is exquisite musicianship. These people are masters of their craft. It never fails to raise goose bumps on my skin to hear this performance.
This is the music that is life-changing. This is the music that penetrates you to your very core and elevates your heart, soul, mind, body, and spirit to a whole.'notha.level.
The best live performance/live remix ever...gives me chills. Jill Scott literally murder death killed this shit sly stone Wes snipes style. Just too good and you could see everyone in the crowd could feel it like this is special right now...this is something I am going to remember... all the way from each performer on stage to the dude in the back of the crowd to the stage crew everybody knew this is a once ever type of deal....chill bumps...again.
who's watching in 2020? I just found out Jilly from Philly co wrote the lyrics and Badu got the grammy nod! I love Ms. Scott man, beyond beautiful and skilled
I came back to watch again after listening to Jaguar Wright's tirades. Sorry not sorry, Jill had mastery over that phenomenal voice from day 1! Jw has a great voice, but not like this .
@@cathyinda6914 they dont hv the same styles either. Jaq cud hv inspired Jill. Idk But I know there may be a bit of similarity but they hv totally different styles. And Jill dont hv a thing to hold her head down about regarding her craft.
Single greatest performance I've ever seen. Incredible mix of artistry, talent, musicianship, melody and rhyme. Jill Scott's presence with The Roots...a gift. Absolutely what the game is missing.
Jill shows out every time she's in DC... Ugh... I'm mad I missed this one.. It was sold out... Like all of her shows....And the Roots are always awesome as well.... This gave me all kinds of eargasms....
God bless TH-cam for holding these treasured artifacts. These incredible old live shows from The Roots and Shing02 deserve to be preserved like the fine art they are
Since the lyrics aren't anywhere. Jill Scott's opening verse I'm going to take my time If I search, I will find I'm gonna take this pace When I use my mind, I win the race I'm gonna take my time When I search, I do find I'm gonna take it slowly, to make sure that you know me You cannot put me in a box, no My soul just don't fit in one I am the moon of the rising sun My new shit has just begun I can take you HIGHER. I can take you LOW. It's not a matter of what I put on, no It's just a matter of my soul
Yo, this is some TRIPPY SHIT! gotta love it, she reminds me of Marie Daulne from Zap Mama and Grace Slick from Jefferson Airplane in this song....#CLASSIC!
I would have walked on air if I were there. This performance is so amazing and the vibe in the house must have been truly an experience they will NEVER forget. All races groovin' together.
WHEN HIP HOP WAS REAL. TRUE TALENT GRACES THE STAGE, TRIBAL SPIRIT AND THE SPIRIT OF LOUIS ARMSTRONG AT THE END WHEN JILL SCATTS ...BOP SCITTY DOO BOP. SHE STUDIES MUSICAL HISTORY AND THE ROOTS HAVE ROOTS **. BIG UP TO YOU JOB WELL DONE. NIKI MINAJ DOESN'T DESERVE TO BE RICH, PEOPLE LIKE THIS AND EVERY ARTIST ON UNSUNG DOCUMENTARIES DO.
OMG! I CAN FEEL THE ENERGY FROM JILL! I FEEL LIKE I'M IN ANOTHER DEMENSION! SHE'S A REAL TALENTED, SOULFUL, AND SPIRITUAL ARTIST! I LOVE THE ROOTS..THE ENERGY FROM THEM ARE HIGH AND HYPE...THERE'S NO OTHER THAT CAN DO IT BETTER!
They got the beat boxers grooving in the intro. Gill scott got power house pipes.The Roots one of the baddest bands hip hop groups for the last 26 years nobody does what they do.
@@Dmiche02 Why are you fanatics always worrying about who might be "better" than Beyonce, who is EXCEPTIONAL at what SHE does? And also happens to be an incredible singer too, which many don't pay attention to due to her performances -- including operatic highs. That being said, Jilly from Philly is on another level. And that's okay. But why would you see this and think of Beyonce?
it's funny i didn't take this all in when i saw this back on MTV in the old days....now i'm like jonesing for one of these to happen again especially since COVID seems like it ain't going anywhere
damn we need to make more music like this sometimes i think rap would be better off going in the the roots directions live instruments make ya work for it plus its just organic you can really feel that shit so much energy being produced right now
This performance is friggin ridiculous . I like how she steps out all demure…she worked it. One day that chick will get her props in the industry. Hang in there girl
Jill is on a totally different wavelength entirely. I saw her years back at Carnegie & Radio City, among the best concerts in my life. The Root & Jill Scott - this was truly a gift. thanks for posting.

Who still listening in 2023??? Love this version! They killed it and put in a casket!
2024
Listening in 2024... 🔥🔥🔥🔥
This is the passion of gospel, the pain of the blues, the spirit of jazz, the rage of rock, and the soul of R&B. Altogether, it is Hip Hop!🔥💯👊🏾❗️
Her voice is haunting. She wasn't playin. And that's on top of the always excellent Roots Crew.
A higher power was in them that night
Indeed!!!
Amen to that!
The Music GODS...!!
Yep , didn't she sang it
FACTS.

This is one of the best singer/rap collaborations ever. Jill is a beast.
Agreed
Agreed❤❤❤
She wrote it I think...
☮️❤️ Correct me if I'm wrong.2022
True.
The whole universe was rocked that night. Amazing.
This performance gives me CHILLS every time I view this video. I wish I was there. Beautiful set.
Chills all over my body…
I *was* there. It was an unbelievable experience
God Damn...This is exquisite musicianship. These people are masters of their craft. It never fails to raise goose bumps on my skin to hear this performance.
Amazing! Chills every time.
Back when MTV used to stand for Music Television
I sighed heavy when I read this accurate comment.
exactly!
+mikel03241 This comment made me misty-eyed.
Actually this is MTV2, well after the original MTV changed from being a music video channel. It's just Jill Scott and the Roots which makes it good.
Word? You telling me MTV used to be a music channel B?
This is the music that is life-changing. This is the music that penetrates you to your very core and elevates your heart, soul, mind, body, and spirit to a whole.'notha.level.
Yes I agree
Come back Jilly from Philly! I see that Mars and Venus energy strong in you...
I agree!!..... I 💘 this version of this song!!!😍😘😍😘
Now imagine if you smokin a fat blunt oooo weee

Maedean Chandler ❤️❤️👍🏽
Had to revisit this after the Instagram Live that Ms. Jilly and Ms. Badu so beautifully put forth! Just beautiful!
Same here!!! She is a BEAST.

Jill's vocal is black power to the soul!
Jill's wicked smile at 3:04 is like..."Y'all getting ready to feel this"...🔥🔥🔥
Single greatest performance I've ever seen. Incredible mix of artistry, talent, musicianship, melody and rhyme. Jill Scott's presence with The Roots...a gift. Absolutely what the game is missing.
I was at that show!!! #Nostalgia & happy earth day 👑
Ifreke Edem-Enang jealous!!!!!
Jazz and hip hop, like chocolate and peanut butter, is delicious
txtphile jazz, hip hop, and a dab of rock
This isnt jazz
Why isn't this version available to purchase?! This version is probably the best one out there.
B cuZZ it'z supreMe...eVen U tube keepz da totaL VoL loWWW 2 hide da spirit!!!
It’s definitely the best
It’s on their live album called Roots come alive.
A MASTERPIECE.......
Cannot argue with that sentiment.
My soul does not fit in a box #message
+Angelise Williams It is a powerful message, delivered by a voice with incredible range and depth.
This performance must be what an out of body experience feels like. It is purely spiritual!
Rest in peace Malik B 🙌🏼 you were the root of the roots 🔥
Goosebumps as soon as she starts singing and untill she finishes
Jill shows out every time she's in DC... Ugh... I'm mad I missed this one.. It was sold out... Like all of her shows....And the Roots are always awesome as well.... This gave me all kinds of eargasms....
Meko Blu wassup ma’am lol
Absolutely! Probably the only concert I'd even think about attending post Covid is Jill in a Black ass city with the Roots
Back here again... Classic!!! 💯🔥💯🔥
I'm totally blown away by this. Thank God for letting me hear this
A hypnotic voice from God
This version and performance us so mesmerizing! UGH!!! The band! Jill! Black Thought! Just....EVERYTHINNNNNNGGGG!!!!! It gets me every time!!
You cannot duplicate this not by any means beauty is not sufficient to say what this is
The revolution is no longer being televised. Incredible, reminds me of when I was very young and invincible.
God bless TH-cam for holding these treasured artifacts. These incredible old live shows from The Roots and Shing02 deserve to be preserved like the fine art they are
2019 watching this never felt better too be old enough to know this is real artistry !
Since the lyrics aren't anywhere.
Jill Scott's opening verse
I'm going to take my time
If I search, I will find
I'm gonna take this pace
When I use my mind, I win the race
I'm gonna take my time
When I search, I do find
I'm gonna take it slowly, to make sure that you know me
You cannot put me in a box, no
My soul just don't fit in one
I am the moon of the rising sun
My new shit has just begun
I can take you HIGHER.
I can take you LOW.
It's not a matter of what I put on, no
It's just a matter of my soul
What do you think about I am the moon and the Rising Sun? Love the lyrics. Such a dope video
@@FlorenceW101 😂😂
❤️😍😍😍😍😍😍
TBH... It's the only part I listen to. That's ancient Mtr Ntr affirmations translated right there. 💯
Me too only the first half then play it back again and again lol
Absolutely ICONIC performance by the magnificent Roots with the spectacular Jill Scott!! Wow!! One of the BEST performances ever!!
Freedom Frequencies 🌟💫✨
Yo, this is some TRIPPY SHIT! gotta love it, she reminds me of Marie Daulne from Zap Mama and Grace Slick from Jefferson Airplane in this song....#CLASSIC!

Her voice is everything!
Jizzle Miller IJizzie, do you think it’s too far fetched to say Jill is better than Beyoncé?
@@Dmiche02 Why are you fanatics always worrying about who might be "better" than Beyonce, who is EXCEPTIONAL at what SHE does?

And that's okay. But why would you see this and think of Beyonce?
Its far fetched to compare
Absolute 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
