"Here's the point of the song that many people including you seem to misconstrue: "Erica was not talking to Tyrone, she was talking to her man, (who remained nameless throughout the song.) "Tyrone" was merely his transportation! Bwaaaa! 😂 23 years later, people are still mad at Tyrone and he had nothing to do with it- he was just a ride! 😂😂
He was the ride but “Tyrone” may have something to do with it. Tyrone is who he is with or claims 😉 he’s with when he’s not with you. Tyrone is the always around, Club going, not in a committed relationship himself friend. Don’t get me wrong, I choose my woman over Tyrone any day.
I absolutely love her. She keeps it real. She isn't trying to copy anyone. I think this is why the crowed reacts to her in the way they do. She is in a league all her own. I am 52 years old and loving her. I introduced her music to my 29 year old daughter and she flipped out. My daughter's reaction was MOM!!! This is amazing! Much respect to a woman doing things her own way!
Erykah Badu is in her own lane. You really need to check out her Baduizm and Mama's Gun albums. She is priceless. She is also considered the Queen of NeoSoul
In my opinion, Erykah Badu’s live recordings have a distinctly jazz vibe that the studio versions of the same songs lack. I’m not sure if she uses a different band to tour than she does in the studio but she is one of the few artists that I prefer to hear live. I actually attended one of her concerts in NYC where they recorded her “Baduizm Live” album. I was blown away by how tight her band was and the awesome background singers (which she allowed each to do short solos). I had to wait 6 months after the show before the album was released so I could rush to the store and buy it.
BLACK MUSIC AT IT'S FINEST! ALL THE ELEMENTS THAT MAKE BLACK MUSIC GREAT ARE HERE! FROM THE CHURCH TO THE CHITLIN CIRCUIT TO MADISON SQUARE GARDEN! THE SOUL OF THE PEOPLE LIVES ON!
This song wasn't a "song" "Song" but a crowd pleaser, an intermission, etc. Erykah is great on stage, if you ever get the chance, check her out, great live, funny and classy and sleazy all at the same time. For a similar fun time, try some Betty Wright, live. "No Pain", "Tonight is The Night" "Clean Up Woman" she's fun as heck. You have to check her live for the best vocals and fun.
Erykah Badu’s studio recordings sound more R&B but those same songs on the live recordings have a distinctly jazz vibe injected into them. Her Baduizm Live album is a concert she performed in NYC and she debuted this song during that show. The entire concert was OUTSTANDING and the entire album is great song after great song. I recommend you do a reaction to the entire album. You will be blown away.
Poetry, yes. It's black story telling. Been doing it for generations...only on the 90's and early 2000's it got rebranded as Neo-soul. Erykah, Musiq Soul Child, Jill Scott, Angie Stone...etc... Old school that did excellent story telling in music is Millie Jackson.
Mz. Badu is always spitting poetry and stories in her songs, and i always enjoy the live versions even more than the album ones, which are still great. her song Next Lifetime Live is one of my all time favorite songs of all time. i would call Erykah Badu NeoSoul though, which is sort of its own branch of R&B. her and Jill Scott, Angie Stone, and D'angelo are probably my favorite NeoSoul artists.
I was waiting for Erykah to get to your channel. You should check out On and On, and definetely the video for Honey, which is amazing. Your gonna flip.
She's a great singer and she attended an HBCU.....Grambling State University..My school and your dad's, grandmother and aunt.. ..... Keep going, you're doing good.. ❤💯❤💯
I was part of that generation, we all listened to that. its was everywhere... there was a big jazz comeback in the middle to late 90's.... jill Scott, Badu, digbal planets song... "cool like that" which please check out!!...well Badu and jill Scott etc... where compared to the old jazz singers of the 30's and 40's...Ella Fitzgerald, bille holiday styles of voice etc...
I heard Erykah the first time live.i was really lucky. I didn't know who she was, I was at Lilith Faire, that's how long ago this was, she came out, lit her candles and some incense, got her vibe going on the stage and then blew the whole audience away. I bought her album about a week later. Some of her songs do sound more like spoken word poetry set to music. She's really good. I do know this song is written about Andre 3000, and I know he wrote Miss Jackson about her. Tumultuous relationship.
Me. Badu is so cool and has a distinctive sound! Her voice is soothing and unique! She is a legendary singer in Afrocentric music! Check her hits “Bag Lady” and “On and On”! ❤️
I've been waiting James! Ms. Badu is the baddest in the universe..she goes by many names..all a different vibe..she is so good live I've seen her 4 times! React to the official video for "window seat" she sheds all her clothing in public...you'll dig the representation...also Annie don't wear no panties, especially "I need you"
This song reminds me of people who I’m not gonna name...always leeching lol. I also love her other hits: “Bag Lady” and “On and On”. I think you will, too :)
I watch quite a few reaction video channels and have never seen anyone do this song and it's a shame so many people do not get to see that! Please, do Kaleo, I Can't Go On Without You. I promise you will be glad you did!
Seeing Erykah Badu in concert is still thee best concert I’ve ever been to in my life, and I’ve been to a ton of concerts, her energy is like no other! The only other concert that follows her for me is Rage against the Machine, but when I’m asked the best concert I’ve been to, no hesitation, Erykah Badu🙌🏼
You should check out... Oran Juice Jones singing The Rain. It's from the 80's... kind of a "dude anthem". It's funny... Just subbed today... Great reaction to Erika, the Goddess herself! Love from Texas 💕🤠💕
Funfact: She wrote the song the night before the show & this was a test run for the song. That is how dope she is.
Yeah, she said this is my new song. You know I’m an artist and I’m sensitive about my sh*t! 😂😂
"Sounds like singing but it's poetry" - yes, dear, it's something Erykah regularly does in her music
You might notice that when she turns to the side at the end, she’s pregnant. That’s the son she had with Andre3000 from OutKast
She is a goddess! That’s the ladies anthem!! She is amazing Ms. Badu! Loved your priceless reaction!!
A Lady's anthem
And A Gay Man's Anthem
I like the way he is listening so intensely.
Erykah Badu is so flippin' amazing. Check out "On and On" or "See You Next Lifetime".
Other side of the game is good too

She is a strong woman. Telling him to hit the road Jack just making it clear. Brilliant.

The only way to experience this song for the first time is the live version!
Erykah is a Goddess
If you want to hear Eryka tell a story you need to listen to Other side of the Game by her. AMAZING
Andre 3k wrote a song about here, prolly heard of it Ms. Jackson by OutKast.
That's hilarious..I know the song byt didn't know that😂
OutKast! Excellent!
Lol. He cheated on her and she left him. He wrote this song because his ass was chapped about having to pay child support.
Erykah Badu did a song with Janelle Monae (who you should check out asap) called Q.U.E.E.N.
It is soooo good!

Ha! That last line!!
Bag Lady by Erykah... you'll like!! 👍
When this song came out, a lot of women's men had friends named Tyrone! 😉
He's going to believe that, lmao. Everyone knows a Tyrone.

Yesss! bag lady is my favorite Badu song! And Shh break it down by Tevin Campbell (written by Prince) is a great baby making jam!
Teena. Damn❤❤❤
Jill Scott spits poetry as well. Definitely check out her songs "Golden", "A Long Walk", "The Way" and "Hate On Me" 🔥
Jill Scott is just a massive talent
U gotta get her 1st album & I still have it from the 90s. She is still the best. Love ur reaction!
I LOVED it when she sang this with the rock band My Morning Jacket.
Bruh. You need to go ahead and explore her entire catalogue. The woman is an ARTIST. And all her music is dope!
Yes young brotha!!! Erykah is a straight Poet! Period!!! Thank you for this :)
She tells the story
She paints the picture
Strong person
"Hold on" by En Vogue.
That was my group and they were everything!
She is so great live, all the songs just flow into one another as one body of music

Badu - “Danger”
Dope ass bass line
Erykah Badu is Amazing. Lyrically, Voice, and Gorgeous
I seen her in LA with Roots. It was amazing. She burns incense and it goes through out the whole stadium.
BLACK MUSIC AT IT'S FINEST! ALL THE ELEMENTS THAT MAKE BLACK MUSIC GREAT ARE HERE! FROM THE CHURCH TO THE CHITLIN CIRCUIT TO MADISON SQUARE GARDEN! THE SOUL OF THE PEOPLE LIVES ON!
She’s one of my faves. An absolute whole vibe.
Bag Lady, See you next lifetime and the duet with The Roots is bad ass.
Because she's real like that is is poetry

‘But you can’t use my phone’ sticks in my mind to this day.What a legend. Great video, great commentary
I love Erykah Baddu. She just speaks to women so very intelligently and the humor in this song is bang on. She is a queen.
Erykah badu "Didn't you know" its SOOO mesmerizing 🤎🥴

I’m glad our young people are starting to listen to real music. With real bands.
Check the longer version of 'Tyrone' on her album. She is a true genius! !!
You should do a reaction to Erykah and My Morning Jacket doing a live cover of Tyrone together, it is amazing and really rocks.
Poetry, yes. It's black story telling. Been doing it for generations...only on the 90's and early 2000's it got rebranded as Neo-soul. Erykah, Musiq Soul Child, Jill Scott, Angie Stone...etc...

Your analysis of this song is right on point, she real as it gets, that’s her mojo
I saw her perform live. She is amazing. I was actually in that audience somewhere when she shot that video.
Automatic is a great song by The Pointer Sisters. Please react to that. Jump, Slow hand and He's so shy are also great songs
Another vote for something by the Pointer Sisters "Slow Hand " is one of my favorites
Or Yes We Can Can...
She's a great singer and she attended an HBCU.....Grambling State University..My school and your dad's, grandmother and aunt.. ..... Keep going, you're doing good.. ❤💯❤💯
Erykah Badu, Lauryn Hill, & Jill Scott are my top 3 Neo Soul Female Artists. Along with Musiq Soulchild & Anthony Hamilton for Male artists.
Marsha Ambrosius - Far Away, Jill Scott - A Long Walk or Heather Headley - He Is all great listens
Erykah Badu is SUCH a badass. Glad u liked Tyrone. Try Bag Lady next.
Erykah Badu has no chill. She is a queen and ain't gonna take anyone's crap.

hello friends This is similar in message to that old Ray Charles song "Hit the Road Jack"
On & on is a good 1 & Love of my life is another good 1.
She’s a natural storyteller!!!
This my girl. She can sing her a off.
Miss Badu is the real deal! You should listen to her song, Bag Lady. It’s quite special but she has many great songs in her collection.
Do BAG LADY BY ERYKAH BADU DAS A BOP!!!
I love this song! She's amazing
BTW, she's not dead, she still tours. You need to go down her rabbit hole.
React to Lauryn Hill Doo Wop (That Thing)

This song reminds me of people who I’m not gonna name...always leeching lol. I also love her other hits:
“Bag Lady” and “On and On”.
I think you will, too :)
Another powerful women singer from an earlier era is Billie Holiday. "Strange Fruit" and "God Bless the Child."
That is a what a queen looked like back in the day!
I watch quite a few reaction video channels and have never seen anyone do this song and it's a shame so many people do not get to see that! Please, do Kaleo, I Can't Go On Without You. I promise you will be glad you did!
Check out TwinsTheNewTrend they reviewed Tyrone recently
That the beauty of spoken word performance
Glad you enjoyed her vibe.

Neo Soul - Erykah Badu is a GOAT! Listen to her song "Next LIfetime" - she is a poetry writer and she tells stories.....
I love her! She is so good! ❤️❤️❤️
This is Neo Soul music. She is the Queen 👑
If you want more "Boy it sucks to be YOU dude!" songs, look up Janet Jackson's "What have you done for me lately?" which is very similar to this one.
I love her. Check out back in the day
Nice reaction!..I did get to see her perform this live and she puts on a nice show!
Please react to
THE EMOTIONS ( FLOWERS)
She's brilliant!!!
a living legend. Badu
While album Badism is incredible. Front to back!
Brilliant 100%
Saw her live a few years ago wouldn't have missed it at all
She’s both poet and singer
She is so poetic! One of my fave's (besides Tyrone) is "Window Seat".
When I saw you were doing this I was so stoked!! I knew what was coming!!!!
That song was EPIC, when it came out.
This song is an anthem
