Listen especially for the sample around 4:15!

Note the person credited with cowriting the song is 7 Benjamin. AKA Badu's son, whose dad is Andre "Andre 3000" Benjamin.

OOOOOOOOMG I was ho-hum with the first 4 minutes, and then the key change and the de-auto-tuned made it like a MILLION times so much better.

OMG discovering that Erykah Badu & Andre 3000 hooked up is even better than this song (which is delicious indeed).

Badu dated Andre 3000, Common, The D.O.C. and currently Jay Electronica, and from what I've read they all felt tremendously more spiritually connected to the world through her. From what I've heard of her music, I would love to just hang out with her for a night.

Dude. You need to rapgenius 'miss Jackson' .
Hey, now!
Miss Jackson is a fine and good song, but ...
Badu's Green Eyes is something else.
no, seriously, listen to that.
Its long, but good music, and about the same breakup.
