I'm 28 now and I am absolutely blown away. The end with "Future" written on the back of the bus made me a bit sad when I think of what's on the radio right now. Literally, the "rapper" Future. That sadness, and nostalgia has passed, now I'm pissed. Why the fuck don't we see this kind of stuff anymore??

I feel ya ,but HipHop was never only a Black People thing, but something that was born in the guettos where both blacks and even more the latinos lived together and tried to go through their struggles... HipHop gave the kids a reason to respect each other and leave the gang life, while focusing into more positive things, creativity and so on. And earning people's respect whatever background you were from. Like the Zulu Nation preached, transform the negative into positive.... also peace, love unity and fun. That's what hip hop (the culture) is all about. Erikah was obvioulsy involved with the culture and her love can be seen in this ode to the Hip Hop culture (not music).

This song/video really represents the true love for Hip-Hop that those of us had who grew up with it from its beginnings to its golden age. The first 30 years of Hip-Hop (70s-90s)--the first generation, the roots--was a very special and unique time. There were so many true evolutions to the genre in those days. And to have been a part of that generation is a unique love story between people and music.

Naw, but I noticed that giggle tho

always loved this tribute to hip-hop by Erykah Badu. So talented.

The Dude with the White Outfit, and Common are the Cool, Perfect Male Artists!

My mother always had music from her childhood that she’d blast as she’d clean her house when I was a child. Those reggae songs will stick with me forever. This is most definitely a song my child will hear on rotation when it’s time for Spring cleaning!!

The amount of references are pure bananas but what truly blows my mind how damn creative they were done. Seriously, this is one of the coolest videos ever done, absolutely next-level artist she is

The history of HipHop. Love this ❤

I love how she paid tribute to Chopped and screwed music made famous by DJ Screw from Houston. I deadass overlooked this til now. 😳

We love you Erica!

2:12 I love this part so much.😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

Growing up to this timeless music you dont appreciate untill you hear what music has become today im Thankful for the late 90s early 2ks music... some feel good music!!!

The evolution of hip hop.. Peep how she changed clothes through out the video for the different styles of hip hop #dope

I like how she went through the screwed section

trippin off how so many folks can watch this video and see how Erykah moves scene to scene through different historical stages of hip hop, how it changed up, experimented and moved through different circles. yet the same folks watch the movie brown sugar and completely missed that Sid & Dre's relationship was the exact same metaphor for hip hop's development. irony?

This video goes over a lot of people's heads. Especially the correlation with common.

I ❤ the Chuck D recognition, He is one of the greatest on the mike ever! Respect 🙏
