ChiBoogie2 [responding to a question about the meaning of the word "ill"]
@sweetbutdaring ill - it's new york slang Erykah Badu is so sick as in (good) that no one can possess the talent she has. She's ill.

****
nickelwindow53- Love the message on 3:35! Too Black.......

****
yungflyandflashy12-@nickelwindow53 Can you explain the message? I was trying to figure it out, I can't get it.

****
nickelwindow53-@yungflyandflashy12 Badu is saying that alot of people thing that she is too black meaning in her music and her career. She doesnt wear the blonde weaves and try to look and act all European to sale. She wears her afrocentric clothes and her natural hair unlike the beyonces of the music industry

****
tamwash- i love this song, how can you can't find love if your caring baggage from previous relaionships. Let it go and find love. Baggage will push them away . . . saying 'you're just like my last boyfirend' , 'i can never trust a man', then you never will. Stop carrying that mess.

CUF17-the beat to this sounds familiar

****
daillestjayinfamous-She sometimes uses samples. Didn't Cha Kno was produced by J Dilla. So he's like the legend of sampling

****
xxLateralus420xx-The sample is Dre's from xplosive....And Eryka is truly a genius and she is just beautiful...Chillin' to her is like nothin' else.....

****
sevensorrows- dude dre sampled erykas track just thought id throw that out there lol

BUD5MOKA1- lol thats true. what version you prefer? i prefer the dr dre version lol

****
sevensorrows-o same here bro dre took the beat and remixed it to another level

****
SE7EN163- this song is DEEP

****
majesty30001- So many dnt understand the tru meaning of this sng!!! All tht baggage people carry around, and its not only women! Pray about, meditate on it and let it go!!

****
celina2425 - trying to let some bags go, but it's so hard cause i have to leave a part of my heart behine and how do you do that??

****
robib2- The "bags" that Erykah refers to throughout the song are metaphors for different men. Hence, "Gucci bag lady, baby bag momma, grocery bag lady, etc." Eventually he's gonna say "you crowding my space".

Erykah Badu is quite the poet.

****
MxTori- um, the could be referring to the insecurities that the women are carrying with them.

****
kambreezay- she could be refering to all the burdens and stress women tend to carry around with them like bags also

****
dulce3188- i think so too. she's talking about the emotional baggage we women tend to carry, especially after someone hurts us, which most men don't want "crowding their space". I think that's why she says "When they see you comin, n.***s.. take off runnin" lol

****
TheKre8tiv1- People just don't understand how brilliant this song and this woman is!

purplebugswhat- @lovelylexie... It's the other way around. This version of badu's bag lady is a remix using a sample from Xxplosive.

****
pk000- @purplebugswhat

not really a sample...she basically got permission to use the beat.

****
LovelyLexie- So Nate Dogg and SNoop sampled this beat too...anyone know the name of that song by SNoop and Nate....I need to find it!

****
SerQueLo- It's called "Xxplosive"

****
Eldeeyay22- xxplosive by Dr. Dre

****
Zebrafilms- It's so sassy I love it!

****
MrRashaun8821-I never understood this video one bit.....

****
msdogooder- @MrRashaun8821 In my opinion it is about women who take on all the worries & the weight of the world to the point that all the different kinds of stresses (i.e bags) begins to pile up & eventually weight them down.

It is when women begin to let all of the stress & mayhem go in their lives, they'll become lighter, clearer, free, and happier human beings.

****
MsCupCake1980- Ok this is my song~ Lettng GO of all my bags & moving towards my destiny.... Claiming it in JESUS NAME!

****
1DoWop- SO REAL AND TRUE!!!!

****
DuffyCompany-i love her voice <3
