BEAUTIFUL BROWN SKIN QUEENS 🔥
Is it on spotify already?
Spotify????
This went haaaaard!!!!!!!!!!!
Teyana brought the sexiness, h.e.r brought the lyrics, erykah brought the vibes & brandy brought the knowledge 😆
💯💯💯💯
H.E.R is giving DaBrat vibes
Straight facts 💯
Erykah brought a of that
Nah, Teyanna brought the sass, HER brought the knowledge, Erykah brought the vibes, Brandy brought the lyrics.
This is how BLACK WOMEN should work together not against each other.
Yes Ma'am! They killed it smoothly. Got that 90s feeling mixed with today's vibes and they had they're sound too! I love this cypher!
'Women' Why not Black People 😟😟
@@unknowninfinite8081 Well, it's Brandy's song
@@joshuamcdowell9745 LMFAO really wow how didn't I know LMFAO
True I’m going to be more like this with my sisters. Hey Queen Kim❤️
Erykah’s verse made me feel something I ain’t felt in a long time
Periodtt
This!
Yes!!!!!
Yesssssssssssss
She ate
I love that ALL of these women are known as singers but decided to snatch our wigs with their rap skills 😍😍
Ikr, so dope
Teyana was confident, H.E.R was speaking facts, Badu was straight a vibe, and Brandy... do I even have to say anything
Powerful... Eloquent....Magnetic... and Legendary... Everything we are as black women.
Brandy and Badoo reminded me of how hard, hood and gangsta, female rappers were back in the day, while advertising intellect rather than sex. Love them all though, the 2 young women gat a going-on too hey. I just reminisced about my high school days back in da 90s, they took me there. Dropping bars with the crew right after school.
In rap beginnings Women were not taken seriously. Some had to be an image and not an artist. Sexy was not acceptable for young black women, it could be dangerous. On the road with mostly men. Yo yo was very sexy but I noticed she didn’t tour as much. And Queen Latifah went the other way and has a great acting career and albums to her credit.Feminism has many faces. We can not judge, only understand each person’s life choices
Factsss
@Talib Moore don't pit them against each other, even tho we know what we know
When everybody contributes on the homework project.
😂😂😂
Lmaoo well put.... 110% from errbody
This!
🤣🤣🤣
mood!
H.E.R is giving Lauryn Hill vibes ❤ very talented
Omg yes!!
You're going too far now.
Yessss❤
@@kellybritton7587 i said vibes, i didn't say she sounded like her or was her. Learn to read for comprehension.
She was most definitely giving Lauryn Hill and if you ever heard her rap with the fugees you wouldn't even disagree. Fr.
Eryka Badu is in a league of her own! She slaughtered the beat. I wish she put out an album
This ain’t a cypher this a whole new remix
Right💯💯💯💯
💯
Right. ❤
To be downloaded like for real!!!
💯💯💯💯
“Say you wanna be down but still ain’t arrest them, tho!” H.E.R. reminding us ‘They want our rhythm, but not our blues!’✊🏾
Whewwww🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
True!!
Ooooooh!!! Good one!!!
This was so beautiful
LOVE THAT LINE SISTA!!! ALSO LOVE YOU'RE EXPLAINATION OF IT!!! ☝🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼✊🏼✌🏼
Tey and HER came with the flows and rhyme schemes, Erykah and Brandy came with the wordplay
I love how Erykah Badu rhymed (worker) (circle) and (Erykah) at the end. She made it sound so good😍
Teyana was born in the wrong year. She completely capture and represent that old school 90's vibe I miss so much.
Facts!
She was born in 1990 hence why she captures 90’s Swag easily
@@Itsyagurlb lmao that’s what I said like I was like...isn’t she.. a 90s baby?
@@meelahmanifestslove Yes however since she was born in 1990, that would make her a 2000s, millenial kid. We have to back track a decade, the kids born in the 80s are the actual 90s kids. Pple born in the 70s, are 80s babies, so on & so forth. That's how new generational cycles/trends/era's are seperated, by decades.
This is her era. These are the ladies we grew up watching and admiring. I was at a brandy concert at 9 yrs old. Born 89.
“And if they can’t see us as an equal, they not allloowweedd” -Brandy Norwood is preaching a good word!
That sh!t was hard🔥
P.E.R.I.O.D!!!!!!!
Goes for any race and the opposite gender included!
That was deep!
I tried to 💯❤❤❤ this comment! Forgot we on KZhead lol
Erykah understood this flow like no other.✨🌼
Urrrrekah & Brandy gave me chills!!! 🙌🏽
FYI Erykah was a rapper before she was ever a singer
Bruh Its was Butta smooth..
"She been doin' this sh*t fa years"
And she bodied it too and this Cypher!!
Facts!!!!
Looooove me some Badu😍😍😍
The way she says "First name Erykah" lives in my head rent free
Ayee you got bars too
That cadence was everything!
Exactly!
"last name Bauduu!! gottta change my last name today.
RIGHT?? Last name Barrdu, first name Errryicah. "Put mommy on the phone, he ain't never coming home"....
"and if they can't see us as an equal they're not allowed" wonderful last rhyme! Thank you 👑QUEENS amazing work 👏🏿🙌
Yes!!
Brandy's lyrics were so powerful. She really impressed me with her bars and lyrical content. H.E.R's entire verse was the best. She flowed effortlessly and I could imagine me buying an entire album of that. Everything was perfect, her flow, cadence, tone, bars, confidence, it was just complete and satisfying. Ms. Bar-du 😂 her vibe and juice was unfuckwitable, nonpareil frfr. I have had a crush on her since 97 😅. She is an incredible woman.
Can we talk about how all these women primarily sing but dropped verses that your favorite female rapper could never?
Does it have to be a competition or shots fired at other women artists? Seriously yall need to take a rest from shitting on each other
Male rappers inclusive! They killed it
W M how is that shitting on people?? She’s right. Majority of the new female rappers are a joke. It’s sad that female singers rap better than these new rappers
@@carriel9954 okay great 👌🏾 is there a point in shitting on them especially on this video? Absolutely no point in calling out other women artist and using these women in the video to do so.
I sees what you mean, I miss those females who could rap like this.🔥
Erykah’s verse was ERRRRRYTHING
Everything literally she RAW af
Yessssss
Right
IM A BOSS AND A WORKAHHHH KEEP A TIGHT CIRCCCLLEEE
*Urka
Teyana bought the style H.E.R bought the vibes Erykah bought the lyrics Brandy bought the knowledge
Can I have more H.E.R rapping in songs. She has a great voice! H.E.R Gives me Lauren Hill vibes!
“Trying to teach my mini me that her skin isn’t a weakness” ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
♥️✊🏾
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Respect
But Not Telling Her Skin Color The Truth About Whitney 🙄🙄
Black girl magic 👑
🗣️I'm saying this as disrespectfully as I can. Whoever dislikes this video has NO f*cking taste in music.🤷🏾♀️
FACTS!!!
😂😂😂 you read my mind.
I second your disrespect! ✊🏾
Truly they hating and they don't even love themselves...
💯
These women are such gems. True icons.
If they say Sky is the limit then bye a cloud. OMG 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Buy*
“Say you wanna be down but still ain’t arrest them tho” 🔥 🔥 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I love H.E.R.
Best line on the track
This whole thing was brilliant, but let’s not all pretend like H.E.R didn’t deserve a standing ovation for that line alone okaaaaay?!
This has me saying “Last name Bar-Du, first name Uuurkah!” at the most random of times 😍😅😭
I Forreal caught myself saying that at work 🤣🤣🤣
SAAAAAMMMMME!
🙌🏽🎯
OkUUUUR me too! FRFR
🤜🏾🤚🏾
H.E.R. killed it 🔥🔥🔥🔥
She really did they underestimating her
Brandy’s verse is Everything!
"Barbie without the plastic, a classic collectible" an ode to Brandy and her line of Barbie dolls! Moment!
I thought I was the only one who peeped that 💎💎
That was fire..i bought my daughter a brandy doll when it came out too.
@@MsCina2u77 im ashamed at my ignorance I had no idea she had a doll. Very publicized about Kimoras but not brandy's, that's sad as hell.😪😡
@@yllwtrose4526 it was in the 90s and it was highly publicized
@@WenNRome right! Very
They singers but did better than most rappers in the game.
exactly. female rappers need to watch and learn something
@@Nylah-lm9os listen to something other than mainstream female rappers and you'll find some real talent
@@pinkmusic628 good idea i don't listen to a lot of the mainstream but just enough to realize i don't wanna hear it lol....
FACTS 💯
THESE WOMEN ARE ARTIST..PURE ARTISTRY!!
2:07 “he on my phone about these bills, put mommy on the phone!”😂❤😂
Teyana Taylor and her killed it
Brandy is Legendary now put some respect on her name. Everyone was nice.
Yep!
@Amanda Burke and baby she looks goodt! Silicone where?? Bye chile...
Facts!!! She deserves that crown 👸🏾
"Who the first black woman to own a festival... Barbie without the plastic a classic collectible....." H.E.R doing her thang
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
A WORD🥰❤❤❤
Barz straight Barz
Brandy did it for me on this track. Teyana gave us that 90s flow that we didn’t know we missed. H.E.R have that Lauryn Hill flow made me realised Lauryn Hill should have been on this track too, but her career didn’t go that way. Still can’t get enough of this song though
Erika killed it metaphorically and her flow is so authentic. Brandy was refreshing in these times being focused more on higher self and the confidence that comes with self love and how no one can gain access to that divine intelligence apart from that inner work which is why others don’t see us as a reflection of themselves. A Instagram post brought me here in 2023 😊
Erykah sounds like that aunt/cousin where you hyped their head up and be like “spit something!” and be like “nah...” then start spitting straight fire
Lol
Exactly!!!!
She do!!! 😂😂
This one🎤🔥🔥🔥
FACTSSSSSS.😂😂
Erykah Badu is from another planet. Her voice, the flow is so smooth, a quick Harlem Nights reference, change up the accent. Just kill 'em right quick - effortless.
Right
Amen, love that "Harlem Nights" reference! Dope!
💯
The fact that Eykah brought the original Queen Latifah flow back is 👌👌👌
They understood the assignment
H.E.R gives me Lauryn Hill vibes. A vocalist, lyricist and guitarist all in 1.
Imagine if they collab 😭😭😭of walk out of 2020
Gabi Actually Plays All Types Of Instruments.
That’s what said!!!
@Nubian Queen91AD Don't Forget Piano, Dear Sista☝🏼✊🏼✌🏼
I like her better than crazy Lauryn
This is how it's done. No one is naked and everybody got skills.
Big facts amen 🙏🏼
Yessss!!!
Even if they were naked the talent would still be there
But also they show loads of skin when they feel like it. Not sure what your point is
MAN 🔥☠️
"I'm a boss and a worker. Keep a tight circle."
2 years later and this freestyle still slaps
H.E.R flow is so natural, skilled without trying.
My absolute favorite
Influenced by that REAL Hip-Hop!!! She started out with a Busta line from Scenario
Man
Lil Lauren hill
@@blackqueen5201 OOh no you didn't type that insult lmao. That ish was ABC basic and corny.
”say you wanna be down but still ain't arrest em though” ”breonna Taylor seemed intentional”
💯💯💯
That part! 👊🏿👑
Gave me the chills when she said that....
That hit the hardest
👏👏👏👏
I wish they would release this😭 Still hits years later!
Better than 99% of today's male rappers
When the R&B singers rap better than the “rappers”....
Right
Yep, for sure!
@jnyce2nyce I'm telling you!
@Bougie Barb that part!!!
You ain’t never lie
“Last name badu , first name Errrrka” .. PERIODT
My favorite part! 😎

I need H.E.R to give us some "Miseducation Of H.E.R" vybz on the album because the bars was immaculate 🙌🏼
omg yessss

"Last name Bardu fyrs name Erca" 🔥
This will forever be a hit.
Why Erykah snap like that? For no absolute reason. 💀
🤣🤣loved her verse
@miankis williams Nahfr🤣😭
Effortlessly
😁😁😁😁😁👑
I feel like Brandy is recognized for her legendary but isn’t celebrated enough!!
💯
Agreed!
Cause ppl think Monica for whatever reason is better and this clearly proves others wise. I don’t wanna be that person. But while Monica posing for IG pics .... brandy is on another level. That VS they had was rigged. The real ones know.
Colorism! Brandy is Beyoncé level and more! She went through so much and just got sidelined because of her humility.
@@wavyblkqueen Monica is no match vocally I’m sorry...
Loved everybody. But H.E.R. and Brandy just did something to me. ❤
Erykah snapped. Periodt. This ain’t up for debate. Sis coulda bodied this all on her own lol
Ugh facts! 😭 thats my spiritual queen!

I’m mad that it’s 2 years later and I’m just finding that this exists. I haven’t watched the BET cyphers in a while because at some point they became so trash…but damn this was beautiful.
I feel the same and yes I'm just running into this myself

“And if they can’t see us as an equal, they not allloowweedd” When A Queen speak!
🥶
✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿
Brandy's bars were the hardest to me. I have to say that throughout her career, every time Brandy takes the stage or steps in front of a camera she bodies what ever it is she is doing. Old school professional and classy. Smart, beautiful and talented. This woman always shows up with her best from her dress to her hair to her performances. She never lets the audience down. Black excellence!
Yes, I liked Brandy's verse the best, even though they all killed it. Brandy came with bars!
Brandy came the hardest🔥🔥🔥
Big facts
I dont know about her dress sense but her vocals are impeccable
💯
Ms Badu is from Dallas, Texas…so of course she killed the track!!! & she really is from the hood: south Dallas & proud.
Not surprised they chose this tune, it can go on forever
I wish Erykah would put out a full rap album or do more rap features she’s so good. I feel haunted by that verse. Going to put on repeat again
Right I'd buy that for sho!
Just watched this 5 times back to back for her and HER verses.
Brandy too
they said she used to be a rapper before a singer and i just want a rap album from her cause she’d body!
@@treblazer yeah her emcee name was MC Apples
Imagine if Lauryn Hill got on this
Yasssssss💯💯💯
She to real
I was thinking the same thing 🙌🏾🙌🏾
She would have been late as usual....
🤯 Badu + boogie alone is a wet dream fr fr lol but all them?! It would be the only song lol
Brandy and that voice...She is phenomenal in everything she does, and this lineup of melanin magic is smoother than silk🙌🏾❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Kill da beat! Do U! 👀🤔 Somebody understood da assignment.. 🔥👍🏿💪🏿🤟🏿❤️🔥Great Work Ladies👂🏾🔥
can we talk abt how H.E.R BODIED HER PARTTT ❤️
Yes let's talk. She killed it.
Facts!
Fashooooo
They went harder than most male rappers do... literally gave me chills...
@Honest Brotha whats wrong with being a feminist?
@Honest Brotha "God damn, I feel like the man. Freshman of the year, I woke up like the man..."
@Honest Brotha all I asked was a question. I thought feminist were people who believed women deserve equality am I wrong or do you just have a bad definition of it
Why bring sex in this? Female rappers have BEEN eating in the music industry.
Yyyyyaaasss
This needs to be on SoundCloud 💯💯💯💯😭😭😭😭🤩🤩🤩🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰❤❤❤❤❤🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
For any who are curious, where the closed caption says "indecipherable" on Erykah's part, she says I'm a boss and a worker Keep a tight circle Last name Badu First name Erykah
