Plus, "High Post Brotha" is old as hell. Figuratively.

I remember getting 2 copies of a white label 12" for 8 Minutes To Sunrise by Com with Jilly on the vocals.

They had a flyer inserted in the first copy promoting her upcoming release.

It was in that "Who Is Jill Scott?" format...then it said something like "Ask "....", they did such & such...Then it said "Ask Common...she sang with him on a track and he's on a track on her upcoming album..."

When I heard about "High Post Brotha", I KNEW that had to be the track.

Pay attention, kiddies.

THIS IS PROOF that record labels leak shit on purpose if they want to.

Steve McKeever kept these joints on LOCK....

I NEVER HEARD ANYTHING about these tracks that were on the plus (+) CD.

Or maybe I was just out of the loop.

P.S. - On BET, she said she recorded 50 tracks for W&S Volume I.

19 on W&S I (that's including the hidden joints)....1 on the "In Too Deep" Soundtrack ("Dreamin'")....8 on the plus CD (counting "Free" as just one track).....

Where's the other 32?

The black satin baby dolls come out tonite, and the CD will be blastin 'The Way' feat. Mike Phillips-too bad for words!!! that sh*t is slammin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Go Jilly!

I picked it up earlier today. Thank you to the individual who posted previously best price at Target. Paid 11.88....I have listened to the set in it's entirety and it is awesome. The live version of tracks off first cd is off the hook w/ the live band and the new tracks w/ the new flavor, instrumentsals, back-up singers, etc. etc....I could go on and on....One track sound like an opera/musical or something. I think it is #8. I highly suggest you get it...TODAY.

Guaranteed To Kill Your Post or Your Money Back

What happened to Lovely Day???

beautiful piece of work, jill always gives us her all, some moments on the live cd bordered on brilliance. the new cd, i liked every song. but "gotta get up", good lord that song was written for me, those days when you dont feel like being bothered but you know your success is dependent on you getting up.

thickness- i dont really feel it, its what got the cd the parental advisory sticker. it feels like she took a very ursula rucker ish turn in the name of "enlightenment". the rest of her persona on songs is way too kind and positive for this one to please me, maybe meshell could've rocked this joint, but not from jill scott. it displays variety though. between this and de la's upcoming pawn star, im wondering why artists i love are starting to come with songs like these.

but its still a great work.

She did it in concert. I could have done without it too. Or atleast put it on disc one.

Yimhotep

I was soooooo looking forward to hearing the brkdwn of that song, altho' can c y it was left off, it would've made the CD better IMO. the live part is aiight, i think my town was better than DC tho' (altho' maybe that's due to editing) Also, in 1 is the Magic Number, she went straight opera in a part of that song when she cam thru, i was expecting to hear that, and didn't.
Disc 2 is nice, i have to hide it from the kids in the house b/c of the Thickness tho'

I made all my lil nieces listen to this track. She did this poem when she toured-and I think folk don't care for it because its blatant & out there, but it does get the point across. You shoulda seen the women at the show with half they assess out cowering in the back when Jilly broke this one down! I think it is somethin that needs to be said, and our sistas need to hear it!!!

I totally agree. The ones who don't wanna here it are usually the ones she's talking about.

until i listened to the song like three or four more times...just sat and listened to that joint. it hit home cause i see it so much.

then i be sitting here thinking about how many females i don't respect and disrespect because they don't have any mind, or anything to say...

shit just gets to me cause then i have to rethink my whole position on females who show their bodies and don't really have nothing that i consider relevant on their minds. cause she's really talking about elevating that young girl, but she's also talking about elevating women in general. it's like i have to find out what it is that would elevate me and my conversation with those females that i don't show respect.

America has imported more warlord theocracy from Afghanistan than it has exported democracy.

I bought this joint today. I haven't listened to it yet, but I am looking forward to it.

I was just wondering was I the only one who thought this would be the perfect way to do D'Live? One CD with about 70 minutes of live material and another with unreleased VooDoo session material, including those songs that D and Quest were mentioning like Bitch and the VooDoo title track.

That would be heaven.

EFF the drama.
Gimme the music.

who did that....i've had that mp3 for a while now. i always thought it was done by some kid w/ cool edit who did a really really good job.

Yo....I think I know the version of which you refer to.

It was called the "disc0kid remix". I have the MP3 too and I think that one is sequenced better than this one. This one is cool though.

I would like to hear somebody remix this using Roy Ayers' "Running Away" since her band did it live like that.

LOVE RAIN!...that version is just sick!...i saw her 3-4 times this year and i'm kind of salty she didn't give me that version...the band and background joints flip the script several times, not to mention the track is about 12 minutes and some change...straight fire!

i was kind of dissappointed that they didn't emphasize the horns more on "long walk"...her horn section is nice and they play an integral part in the the chorus everytime i heard "long walk" live...you damn near have to strain to hear them on the cd.

otherwise, "free", "gotta get up" and "high post brotha" (that's the nicest common verse i've heard in a minute) all bring the heat...especially, "gotta get up"!...i'm really diggin' that piece!...overall, it's worth coppin'!...i can see me getting tired of it by christmas though...i'll have to play it sparingly...peace!

I'm glad everybody else is feeling this track. That beat is a work of art - a complete masterpiece. I had it on repeat for about an hour. I think there should be a grammy award for "best groove/beat/loop". That song would take the cake. Why the hell is it so short? Why did they cut it into an intro and an outro?

I think this is the hottest track, it's production reminds me of a Issac Hayes piece. Damn near broke my neck nodding to the music.

If the acapella for "Be Ready" was played over Tribe's "Hot Sex". Man I wish I were a DJ.

But remember who you heard this first from.

"Just because we're well-spoken and intelligent doesn't mean we're not human."
--?uestlove, justifying why the Roots have a stripper pole in their studio

My faves:
Love Rain - the multiple sections of drum & bass buildup and release, with the 3 part back up vocals "Love, love... love..."

Long Walk - that's the crooked booty jont. This jont is up in the crease like camel toe.

He Loves Me - disco throwdown!!! soul claps!!!

Gettin' in the Way - rocked that jont double time. My man on the drums, fills crispy as burnt pork rinds. Toms panned so lovely, sounds like I'm sitting in the middle of the damn kit and that jont is in THX surround sound.

All the damn syncopated horn section breakdowns. They were mashing the whole spot out with the Tower of Power blasts... the intro? Sheeeeeeeeiiit...

Here's the sleeper amazing arrangement though, possibly my favorite on the whole disc, and I listened to the Love Rain jont for about 3 days straight on the sampler disc before I copped the whole album...

Slowly Surely!!!!!
Lawd, I thought the original was enough to put me in a hypnotic trance, can't believe they made it better. That lilting swing on the beat, augmented sweetly by the percussion, the keys interpolating and floating over the original track, slightly changing the chord voicings. This jont puts the headnod on autopilot... then they had to throw Find My Way in there. I wish it had resolved from Find My Way back to the original groove though. This is too short, which makes it a sweet tease because you get spoiled with the long ass versions of the other songs that you can bask in. Just when it gets good to you it's over. Background vocals feature prominently on this track's mood too. This jont almost swings like some classic era go-go shit, which reminds me of my ONLY disappointment...

It's Love.

Why was the pocket on the recorded version harder than the live version? Why was the percussionist trying to rock it with woodblocks or whatever? Could we get some conga action, rototoms, timbales? Could we get a guest appearance by Go-Go Mickey? You can hear Jill trying to psyce up the D.C. audience but the pocket just wasn't thick and funky enough for a crowd in the birthplace of go-go. When I first heard this on the album, I thought someone had done their homework but it just wasn't hittin on 826.

All in all though, this is a landmark record. On the Hidden Beach site, they were comparing 826+ to one of my favorite records of all time, EWF's Gratitude. I initially balked, now I must make a retraction.

i liked the album as a whole, but i must agree with you on the dissappointment. when i saw 'its love' listed as being one of the tracks for the album, i was hyped .. it was the first track i listened to. i was just waiting for them to let the tribett's go nuts back there .. but it never happened. disappointed, was i. it made me sour, and i didnt really listen until yesterday .. the rest is good, but 'its love' couldve been absolutely amazing. when i first heard the studio version, i knew that the song would translate well to a live setting, but it didnt .. gah
