The Roots - "You Got Me".......Released or Not?
« on: April 02, 2008, 06:48:15 PM »
I have this track on a few different mix cd's from a few years back, but neither of them sound like cdq, so I was wondering if this track was actually released or not?

If so, could anyone post the cdq version of it?

Forgive my ignorance, but I've never really been much of a Roots fan, but I have always been feelin this track!

It sure was released.  It was the first single from their '99 album Things Fall Apart.

It's a Roots track.  Just was coded wrong by the person who uploaded it.  Quest's drum solo at the end is simply breath taking.

Where is the Jill Scott version from? Does it still feature The Roots & Jill Scott just takes the place of Erica Badu?

it has Jill instead of Erykah ...might be different lyrics even, haven't listened to it in a long time

I got it on a best of 99 compilation ...probably was on the single. I'm gonna up it

The Roots ft. Eve & Jill Scott - You Got Me

btw Jill wrote the hook anyway, so this might actually be the "original" version (again source: booklet ...Roots booklets are always unique cause they usually tell stories to every song in detail or the people involved
