Eric Benet - Redbone Girl Lyrics

That's what I'm talking about.

And I also loved "Harriette Jones", which is also funky like this one...

I'm glad the #metoomovement didn't get involved in this for damn near sounding like "Love And Happiness"..

Wayne such a GOAT

This song would've been great if Lil Hot Mouth wasn't a feature!

yas redbone girls👌😂

This song is so unnecessary.Blacks need to cut the colorism crap.Always praisin lighter skin as if its a good trait.Many men be turning down the best women because their "too dark".

いい曲。何でPV作らなかったんだろう。

This is HORRIBLE!!! Eric Benet's vocal ability is sufficient enough to where he needs this non-rapping gremlin. All Lil Wayne does is ruin and take away from a good song that he shouldn't have been on to begin with.

I'm A RedBone and I Love Redbone women why people hating he made a song for Beautiful Choclate women i guess we Eric's Think alike Because like mr. Benet I like Choclate women but yes the Redbones the ones that I love too😍😍😍

I like the song! Love Eric Benet !

Love the song but why lil Wayne

My niqqa lil Wayne I'm going to your consert

Omg why did Eric put that hip hop cancer in this??? Lol And I'm dark skin and love this song. He made a song called chocolate legs so I don't see where all the hate is coming from. Besides the redbone he speaks of in this song is a hoe if you listen to the lyrics lol the chocolate leg girl was more sensual so why the hate? Lol And Eric a redbone himself so...

Thank you for clearing that up for the small minded people.

Love this song! People have issues over this song WOW... I don't see any of this "dark" / "Light" discussion on Chocolate Legs. I love that one too. It's cool to say dark skin is beautiful but soon as someone says the same about a lighter completion it's a damn problem. SMH at ignorant Color-ism, statements when you know damn well your family looks like a rainbow. Each and every color is BEAUTIFUL! 

I agree. Nice song.

Wow why is everyone crazy about us redbones? Lol!! Wtf

Because you guys' skin are closer to white women's..

Ever heard of colorism

that's not true

lol we all know how lil wayne feels about dark skin women. it would have been better if he wasnt in the song.

DARK-SKINNED GIRLS, LIGHT-SKINNED GIRLS & GIRLS IN BETWEEN... WE'RE ALL BEAUTIFUL AND CAN'T NOBODY TELL US ANY DIFFERENT!

Eric should just delete this from his catalog. Not great music

SUEM: Shut Up And Enjoy The Music╭∩╮（︶︿︶）╭∩╮

@TysonKiddforWWEChamp: hues should be featured in music videos in non-demeaning or degrading manners and film and tv shows should do a better job of featuring more than the one quota in an ad, commercial or show.

@TysonKiddforWWEChamp: It has the potential! You never know someone's psyche! All beauty should be celebrated! And, like I said before in music videos, lyrics mostly by rappers, mainstream media, and webisodes, continue to feature light skin girls more frequently than girls of a darker hues of the African Diaspora. Look at who rapper's talk about in their songs. Not once have I heard about "chocolate" or "dark" women. All yu hear is "red," "light," "redbone," or "yellowbone!" Black women of all

They don't have to like all women it's called there preference

@Sarah CArr: Exactly! You said it perfectly!

@tefnutbellsouthnet: It could always be worse. Think about all the advantages we have for living in a this crazy country. Although it's hypocritical, deceiving and manipulating, we are able to freely express our opinions, values and beliefs.
@RzrRyn: Yes, if we just treated each other as HUMAN beings we would definitely be okay. But unfortunately, too many people just want separation and division to prove that they are better than some folks.

@tefnutbellsouthnet: ethnicity just so the child will come out with lighter skin, prettier eyes and seek more opportunities, educationally and professionally. When you think about it...that's absolutely crazy! That someone would be so focused on something so small. There are bigger fish to fry! Like health care, student loans, elderly parents, etc. God made us the way he made us for a reason. I JUST WISH PEOPLE WOULD BEGIN TO CELEBRATE WHAT GOD HAS GIVEN THEM AND BE BLESSED FOR IT.

@tefnutbellsouthnet I didn't learn about the tragic mulatto story until last year. I didn't understand feeling isolated on both the white and black side. And, feeling like a pariah amongst your people and the people who raped and violated your ancestors. With that being said, I understand that is a unique struggle within itself. However, you must ADMIT that many people praise light skin over darker skin. Frequently, persons who are so caught up on physicality will marry someone of a different

@autumnun31: Agree with everything you said!

@bernard424: Nothing I said was untrue. You and clearly enough people don't like hearing the truth. COLORISM still is a problem in the black community. Yes, he did a song about light and dark women. But how many times, is a light skin woman praised in a hip hop song of today?! The answer is: Just about all the time! I want more for my people. There is room for everyone. I just believe women who are light, medium, brown and dark skin should be respected and honored in mainstream media, music, etc

Sorry but dark women need not apply!! lol!

if believing that helps u sleep at night
fine

All my women been Redbone

Yeah yeah yeah, the problem ain't with the artist's words or lyrics of the song...Problem is the mindstate of these young minds

baby i would'nt even waste time talkin to these idiots.

I know right? People need to let people like who they like and mind their own damn business.

brah dont waste ya time with silly minded folk. the man said many times that he love all women and he was just makein a song about a red woman he had before. NO BIG DEAL! this chick u going back and forth with is clearly insecure.

I know man. She never even responded to my comment. It's such a double standard.

exactly!!

\

The underlying sadness is that as long as someone says "chocolate legs'- did you question how light-skinned girls felt- NO- cut the crap - we are all a part of the colorful kaleidoscope encompassed in all Black women we are one- One day I will break down how it felt to be lightskinned in the Black Power Era of the 60's and 70's no special privileges - no yellow is mellow- oxymoron -reverse racism- call it what you want. black confidence is just that regardless of your hue- Enjoy the song!

Whatever Eric sings is awesome- thanks

if you liked hispanics ... that wouldnt be "demeaning " or anything ..but you wouldnt CLOSE all possibilities of a black girl / and label them as "UGLY".. hispanics come in all colors ..black - white looking hispanics.. i have hispanic heritage

WHAT IS the point of this debate?
... its wrong to be as IGNORANT as lil wayne , and GENERALIZE all black women/men .

Reread my sentence. I said if someone said darker women are ugly, then that is certainly acceptable to be angry over.

I agree that many black men are insensitive, but so are some black women. Everybody has "bad apples". But what's important is that the good ones stand together. But at the moment, it really doesn't feel that way.

But once again, if I said I was only attracted to Hispanics, that shouldn't make anyone feel horrible. That isn't demeaning. If you're call one ugly, that's different.

Blacks are seen as the weakest thanks to the media which shows "ghettos". There are a ton of great blacks, but that's boring "news". What is a problem is that we have those who essentially want to separate themselves from everybody else. Example: "Only we can should be able to say the n-word. It's too hurtful for anybody else to say, but fine for us. We needt restitutions. If you don't like me you're racist." If everybody treated eachother as human, all would be good.

...people would view the black race as the weakests , the ones that dont love their own kind.... ITS NOT about skin tone .. the features ....smh

"If the artists says something disrespectful like "darker women are ugly", then I don't doubt people being upset. " ... LOL really..

when a child here's that , that their SKIN TONE is " horrible" .. do you know how that will effect them ? ...
some of the black men , really dont give a fuck or too insensitive to see.. until some black women rapper comes out saying all "dark skin men are ugly" then you will get a taste of their medicine .. it does affect the new generation ,

And I'm assuming you love everybody equally, man, woman, or creature? Everybody is a tad bias. I really didn't listen to the song, I happen to stumble across it and read the comments. If the artists says something disrespectful like "darker women are ugly", then I don't doubt people being upset. If they are basically saying, I like light skinned women the most, then that's fine. One sentence is calling a certain "group" ugly. While the other is saying that they prefer another group the most.

JUST because its a "preference" doesnt mean you have to disrespect the opposite skincolor..

preferences in skin color = BIAS

Everybody have their preferences. Just like some prefer bigger women while others prefer skinny. As with blacks vs. blacks: that'll always happen as long as humans see each other and toss them into a "race" and not treat everyone as an equal. It's how the world works and will probably always work. Best we can do is not care so much about what others say.

Lol that dude's funny as hell

Damn this song has a disproportionate number of dislikes

You already know they ALL came from Dark Skinned broads

Hatin ass bitches

To top it off Eric Benet is LIGHTSKINNED

Do you hear Light Skinned girls calling him a self hater and trying to ruin his career?

NO YOU DON'T

Cause light skinned girls are NOT that fucking insecure!!


This is why I DESPISE majority of Dark Skinned women

lil wayne has a daughter who is NOT REDBONE .. so he needs to step up to his actions .. like soon as you get a hype you "date light skin women"

june 7 gemini ..You seem mad🤔. He is allowed to say what he wants to he is a grown ass man

there is a difference between calling a dark and light skin ..why cant a women be called women...

-and to add more ignorance put lil wayne on the song

ITS JUST FUCKING STUPID , I DONT KNOW WHY PEOPLE PRAISE LIL WAYNE ..

there are PRETTY DARK SKIN GIRLS ... bria myles , megan good ( is not even LIGHT SKIN) ...

I DONT care if you make a song about chocolate girls .. why cant women be women ? not light skin or dark skin ..

BLACKS VS . BLACKS is still going on

Well if he said it, then shame on him.

Lol! No doubt in what you're saying but I really never heard him say he hates dark skinned women.

Lil Wayne offend says her prefers light skinned girls and hates dark skinned girls. That says that he must have some issues with himself. Wouldn't be surprising since he's been in and out of jail for drugs often. He isn't good looking and many people know that. Maybe in his head he thinks if he was lighter skin like Drake or Chris Brown he would be liked better.

I'm not really sure about that last part. His wife, Toya, was dark skinned and he seems to love his dark skinned daughter.

So when he did Chocolate Legs, did that make light skin young girls feel ugly?

people need to stfu about this lightskin darkskin crap on this video because eric is not even like that, and people would know that if they listened to the beginning, he says he loves all women.

I think people should note that Eric Benet is redbone himself. If he doesn't like light skinned girls that would say something that he doesn't even like himself or his light skinned mom. Years before this he made Chocolate Legs. Since that i don't think Eric Bent glorifies light skinned women or dark skinned women. We all know he just likes women with his sex songs. He's a freaky like that. But Lil Wayne however hates himself so he hates dark skinned women.

Know that I say this with absolutely no malice toward you. I don't think you're stupid, just very ignorant of the situation
You're obviously not black. I feel very comfortable saying that because if you were you would know about the huge issue of colorism in the black community. It's been there ever since slavery. If you took a look at most videos on BET you would see a disproportionate amount of light-skinned or non-black women as the main attraction. In the future, u may wanna learn background

I'm dark but I'm not ugly people tell me I'm beautiful all the time, I'm not a hater I just think people should understand beauty comes in all colors and races and so does ugly..

I agree every rap song has something in it about red bones being the best as if all dark skinned brown skinned chicks r ugly there are ugly red bones and pretty red bones same with chocolate girls too! smh

Kind of disappointed with Eric Benet after this song. I understand his disclaimer in the beginning by saying that he likes "dark/light women" however, such lyrics do not stop young girls who are not light skin from feeling like they are not worthy or beautiful because they are not light skin. Artists need to understand the power they have over young minds. Such ideologies only breed ignorance and intra-racist beliefs that continue to ridicule both young boys but especially young girls.

If only it was that simple most men who only like light skin women like them becuz its watt society says is mo beutiful it's been pushed into the minds of men every sience they wer old enough to watch tv n realize that in society the lighter u r the beutiful u r n as long as u let society influince u you will believe it too

What is wrong with glorifying redbones? If you like them, you like them.

2:42 lil wayne there you go !

wayne...like u shudnt of touchd dis ish

i do love lite skin women...bt overall i jus love women period....Thank God for Women!!!!!!

haha you must be dark skin

umm i think there's enough songs that glorify redbone girls im really happy this song didnt blow up cuz i hear enough of this shit on the radio

I am Redbone Grandmother and I absolutely luv this cut. Chocolate Legs was for my dark skinned sistas and Redbone Girl is for fair skinned sistas like me. I am gonna make this song the ring tone on my cell phone!

I AM A REAL REDBONE.....JUST A SONG....I LIKE IT. ENJOY

Lil wayne ruined this forreal its not a bad song though coming from a brown skinned girl

Right lol

Eric Benet has be out way before Robin Thick. So Robin Thick is the copycat. Learn your history

People didn't complain when India Aire made the song Brown Skin. Now if this song was called Dark skin girl, no one would be complaining.

no entiendo como puede tener tantas manitas abajo esta canción ._.

A FAIL COPY OF ROBIN THICKE!

Great song that could have stood on its own without Lil Wayne watering it down. Oh how I long for the day when R&B goes back to its roots

I'm white and I heard this song in the car the other day and you know what.. I could give a rats ass if he was singing about a green alien with blue teeth. This song is just a damn good jam and I went crazy to find it when I got home cause it sinful smooth jam!

I like this song. I don't see anything wrong with it. I don't think it glorifies light skin women above dark skin girls. It's just a song about a beautiful girl he likes who happens to be red bone. besides he made another song about dark skin women, Chocolate Legs, but i don't think that one was as catchy as this one. i don't think this is anything to get a fuss about. i'm medium brown wit kinky hair but my uncle dark brown. My cousins are lightskin and yellow & 1 of them has straight long hair.

wonderful song

Truee SHittt....#muchrespect

GREAT SONG!!!>>

Coming from a dark skinned brother, this is a jam. It's a song and nothing else, relax and enjoy.

Thumbs up if Tom Joyner made you come here!!

THIS shyyt is niceee....dont't we all have "FREEDOM OF SPEECH"??!!!..:)

love the song...not offended that he's singing about a lighter skinned woman...but putting Lil Wayne on this was just not needed, IJS.

Dark skin women < Light Skin Women

It A Good Song ;They All Are Of His Album He's Amazing !

Love it!!!!!

i like it <3

wooow Tunechi <3
