    Ms. Badu is BACK….

    Ms. Jazz, if you ain’t got a comment then shut the ***** up. If you want to advertise then pay for it, you spamming *****.

  4. C-Red

    Erykah Badu could record herself taking a *****, and I still would bump it. Man, she is my favorite Non-Rap artist of all time. She is truly a legend. Im not even mad at people who dislike her, her music is a sweet as Jesus, so I’ll forgive you haters lol. Anyways, man thanks for showing the video some light, cuz it probably won’t make the radio or be played on MTV, BET or VH1 as much as Beyonce or Rhyanna gets played.

  5. Certain

    WTF was that at the end?

    Anyway, video was on point. Song is hot. And Erykah was looking good as hell in those tights in that “***** Shakin” portion. Thumbs up!

  6. Kigali

    Very cute.

  7. Dalia

    OK, I’m feelin the beat on this track, but some of the lyrics are trippin me out:

    “I’m in love with a bumble bee…..”???

    Get outta here.

  8. Loved

    I’m just beginning my day at the office and watching the “Honey” readjusted my Monday-mornings-suck attitude. It’s def a look good, feel good, and sound good joint. It’s Loved.


  9. BOUT DAMN TIME!

    TIGHT VIDEO!

    OH YEAH…..SHE HAS GOTTEN THICK AS HELL!

  10. I'm Just Me

    GREAT JOB ERYKAH!!I am feeling this.

  11. Let's Be Honest

    I really enjoyed this video…good job Erykah. Do you sell gift cards…lol!

  12. Ro Ro

    I like Erykah Badu and her style. I think the video just shows her fans her quirky personality and creative imagination. However I think the song sounds to much like something that she dropped in the past. At least she is back in the studio and back on the mainstream trying to give her fans a lil bit more…which is definately more than I can say about another quirky talent….Lauren Hill.

  13. DROCK (Got Grown Folks Music??)

    DO YO DAMN THANG MS. BADU!! THATS WHAT IM TALKIN BOUT…REAL MUSIC, REAL SINGING, REAL TALENT, REAL GROWN FOLKS MUSIC…WE GOT ALICIA, JILL SCOTT, MARY J. B, & NOW MS. BADU??? THIS IS GOING TO BE A GREAT YEAR FOR MY EARS…(just wish “u know who” would just take a break & not release anything else including commercials, spanish cd’s, cell phones, hip hop toys did i miss anything??)

  14. Shonte

    I Love It! I’m glad that she is coming out with a new album! I really like the part of the video where she did the Outkast “Hey Ya” video too.

  15. ABC

    Average song, AMAZING video…

  16. ladyd

    Loved it! Yeah the song truly isn’t something new, but if it is not broke then don’t fix it! I love EB, and that was a great video.

  17. jo

    Loved the song,loved the video. You can tell she really personalizes her music. I would love Erykah & Kanye to do a video together.

  18. Stringer Bell

    She looked really good

    Plus it looks like her booty has made a comeback too..

  19. backyard

  55. nat

  56. Jennifer

    Erykah Badu is sooooooo creative with everything she does! EVERYTHING! You can tell she pays attention to detail with her videos, concerts, etc…

    I have never been to a concert but I checked her out on youtube and she is so different, but in a good way. This woman is truly gifted!


  57. @Jennifer

    She’s fly in concert too, I saw her and Jill Scott in the same show.

    By the way Hot Video!!

  58. Jim Dandy

    That’s tight! She’s the freshest female on the scene right now officially. She’s got another bad cut too called “I Want You”. I think it’s new. Thank you Erykah. Stay fly!

  59. ohmydamn

    U do U Badu…i’m lovin it! When is the album droppin?

  60. Whatchaknoaboutdat?

    I likes the music — hot as usual!!! But she’s still weird as hell!!!!

  61. Rozza

    I love it! The monkey at the end is too funny, but the album covers (especially EWF) bring back sooooo many memories!

  62. Kilo

    Badu is my girl. Song is dope. Video is dope, not your same ol’ isht. Unfortunately BET will give it little to no play….Better peep it on VH1 Soul peoples.

  63. DM

    I love the throwback covers: Rufus featuring Chaka Khan, Grace Jones, Ohio Players, Diana Ross, Earth Wind and Fire.. I love this video and the song!!!

  64. Cage

    She is weird, but she can get that cause she got talent. Plus i’d beat. If she shows this much creativity to the public, IMAGINE how she’d bless a ***** in the bed.. Hhmmm..

  65. Encyclopedia Brown

    cool video but the transitions made no sense

    and wussup with the monkey yo?

  66. lanette

    BOSSIP did Beyonce take your man?

  67. kai

    @lanette, by man, if you are referring to that million dollar bison Beyonce walks around with, I think Bossip would have to kindly decline lol..

  68. On Point

    It’s a shame how you black people are talking down to an very intelligent and beautiful artist. I bet if she was light and bright, or damn near white, y’all would be all up on her *****, but just because she is true to herself, her heritage, and a does not follow becky’s idea of beauty, you guys clown on her!

    GET IT TOGETHER BLACK FOLK!
