OH IF I GAVE YOU PEACHES! OUT OF MY OWN GARDEN! AND I BAKED YOU A PEACH PIE!

Jill Scott would like to respond to the internet:

I think this is a v admirable stance to take with regard to HATERS, and my position exactly. Also cf Fergie Ferg on 'Pedestal': "You think I don't see you on the internet - I've read it, don't think I won't forget."

I'm not sure which is more magnetic in the Jilly from Philly video, anyway - her fabulous hair or her magnificent bosom (no hetero). Elsewhere on her (v good!) new album she describes herself as MOUNT ST SCOTT.

i'm glad jilly is feeling fighting fit again, but surely there are fan-made videos on youtube with better production values than this one.

primary reaction: 'cornel west wagging his finger at me?! oh no he didn't.'

Haha yes, and she loves her some literalism too.

world on a silver platter anyone?

thankfully she stops with it by the time she gets to the "diamonds from my womb" line, at least.

oh, dear. i was afraid she said that, but i wanted to believe otherwise.
without watching again, i'm thinking that's around the time the little kid shows up. who i guess is a METAPHORICAL diamond. secondary school symbolism ACTIVATE.

it's the line she bellows into the kid's face, yes.

well, jill, as long as you're living your life like it's golden, i ain't gonna hate on your video.

(any more than i already have done, obvs.)

see she was right. she gave us diamonds from her womb and we still hated on her :(

well, for all any of us know, that child is a brat! (albeit a lovely one)
