Released in 2010 as a first single from New Amerykah Part Two (Return of the Ankh). It peaked at #95 on the Hot 100 and #16 on R&B. The video caused major controversy and I was living in Dallas at the time where the video was shot downtown and the news reporters were so shocked. I personally didn't see the big deal but whatever. The video is iconic and the song is one of my favorites from her.

Adore this. The album is my least favorite of her's, but this song ranks among my favorites.

I love the song and album. I've really liked her music ever since Baduizm, but I find that the New Amerykah albums are her best.

I liked this when it came out.
I understand why there was controversy over the video however within the context of what the message was, it made total sense. The media just focused on how *gasp* Erykah was naked in the video for like 5 seconds but it was blurred yet they report on how Kim Kardashian is naked all the time and somehow make that seem okay while what Erykah did was not okay.

My favorite single of hers post-Mama's Gun. I really hope we get another album from her sooner than later.

I loved this song and still do. I wish the album had at least 2 or 3 more on this level. The only other I liked was "Gone Baby, Don't Be Long."
