You got me with Erykah Badu or this..which one is better? 🙌🏾🙌🏾 both legendary !

Black Thought is my prototype.

Still 2020

Black Thought has always been low key sexy asf.

I’m in 2020 still listening to this I love 💕

The minerals of the earth have come together and form a masterpiece

I can remember putting this Cuban girl Yenise on to this song so many years ago. Classic!! Shit like crushspot and Yahoo messenger was hot back then. Fuck where does the time go

Anyone listening in 2020? #dyingbreed

Who is listening in 2020🍾👍

Love this song

This damn song keeps playing in my head.31/12/19.....sleepless in Frankfurt.

Look at This Real Ass. Thought$.

The rats in the mattress always haunted me as a kid. Very well done video.

Back when a fake butt didn't equal beauty

Never play with webey emotions

This .music is TIMELESS....#CLASSIC

I still have this CD and still listing to The old school music

Questlove looked more like a rapper in the 90's.

Roots vs conscious rap it's real...

The roots are seeing that they real..

The roots are real Beyonce...they your people..

This is a good song with Musiq singing the hook making it a master peace but this goes to show you brothers in that video that the so called black man need to stop be emotional and make better decision before we all get locked up and die in their. And on a side note I have a you tube channel type in Russell Mills May 22, 2017.

This takes me back....we had just come back from the middle east after 9/11....heard this in the club and lost it😂😂😂

this sounds like it samples the same sting riff as juice wrld's lucid dreams, or at least the same riff covered by them.

COMING TO BREAK U OFF ....YUP.... YESSIR.....SUP.

Hassan Johnson killed my man for smashing his girl, went to jail then came
Out many years later only to move to baltimore and became Wee-Bey 😂😂😂 the killin spree only continued. Hahahah

Young memories, Keeping this rollin into 2020💪🏾‼️

I am so FORTUNATE to have grew up in an era of good music. This takes me back to undergrad #NCCU.. Good Music vibes.

December 2019 - Silver Spring MD STILL loving the #ROOTS and being broke off!!😀

No future with him

Whos the actress at 2:44

Back when a woman didn't need a big ass to be sexy

Comin' to break you off(beat started, start-started)
Comin' to break you off(beat started, start-started)
Comin' to break you off(beat started, start-started)
Yeah baby

Comin' to break you off(beat started, start-started)
Comin' to break you off(beat started, start-started)
Comin' to break you off(beat started, start-started)
Yeah baby

Bad misses, throwin' raspberry kisses on me
You looking for directions girl?
I feel your vision on me
Just don't let him see you sweatin'
And we ain't spose to be involved
Knowing when we get it off, Girl I mean it off
Keeping you fiending 'til you taking it tossed
And when I'm breaking it off
Its no denying the fact it's wrong
Cause you got a man who's probably playing his part
You probably breaking his heart
He trying to figure the reason, Uh
Is it because he's superficial
Or is he too submissive
Or did I come along and hit you with the futuristic
Or is it 'cause you really couldn't see a future with him
All he about is paper, never took the time with you to listen
You want it gripped up, flipped, and thrown
And get stripped and shown, the way the getting is on
The cost, dealing with this you only taking a loss
You need to leave him alone
And go with the one who breaking you off

Comin' to break you off(beat started, start-started)
Comin' to break you off(beat started, start-started)
Comin' to break you off(beat started, start-started)
Yeah baby

Comin' to break you off(beat started, start-started)
Comin' to break you off(beat started, start-started)
Comin' to break you off(beat started, start-started)
Yeah baby

Brother down the hall
The one you bound to call
Workaholics are really I'm rarely around at all
What we started got serious repercussions in court
We had a chance to turn back, but love that was all
Late nights twistin' something
Listenin to Neicey sing
She got the beef for you telling me you deeply
Appreciate the company, time we spend
I feel the same, it's a shame you ain't my girlfriend
Cause listen, you need a brotha with the physical fix
Who come through in the mix
For you with no head tricks or fraud

You need a new position and who can get you open
Like eucalyptus and have ready to go for yours
Come on and work with me, you won't get hurt with me
Just keep it real and you'll get broken off certainly

Dealing with this you won't be taking a loss
You need to leave him alone and roll
With the one who's breaking you off

Comin' to break you off(beat started, start-started)
Comin' to break you off(beat started, start-started)
Comin' to break you off(beat started, start-started)
Yeah baby

Comin' to break you off(beat started, start-started)
Comin' to break you off(beat started, start-started)
Comin' to break you off(beat started, start-started)
Yeah baby

Rolling down the highway
Listening to Sade sing
"The way the smooth operator move my way"
You sitting beside me
Looking like Friday Foster
Pam Grier structure look at your body
Keep each other thirsty
Kisses like Hershey
But lips is sealed
Cause we don't need the controversy
I say I'm in town, You say you want it in the worst way
You probably told your man it was your it was ya lil's birthday
Meanwhile, its champagne chilling in ice
You ready for the freakiest stage you done in ya life?
We breakin' down like we grove dogs pulling a hike
You making sounds like a vive got you reaching your height
Prepare for flight, this is your captain
I'm getting strapped in
There's no denying the strength
That its attraction girl
Workin' with this you won't be taking a loss
So stop fooling your man and roll with the one
Who's breaking you off

Baby, baby, baby, don't you worry bout
Nothing 'cause I'm coming to handle you
Whenever you want, that thing you need, I got it
I'm there and I aim to please
I'm coming over to give it to you
Baby, baby

Comin' to break you off(beat started, start-started)
Comin' to break you off(beat started, start-started)
Comin' to break you off(beat started, start-started)
Yeah baby

Comin' to break you off(beat started, start-started)
Comin' to break you off(beat started, start-started)
Comin' to break you off(beat started, start-started)
Yeah baby

"You sitting beside me looking like Friday Foster Pam Grier structure, look @ your body!!!"  2019 HEAT!

previously never paid attention that the guy was in The Wire (season 1)
also, how did artists back then manage to write such unique songs? where did it go? when did it stop?

I am so sad my baby hasaan Johnson was the guy who got arrested. 😘 I still love the song.
