Jul 30, 2008 - It's funny, the day her album was released around my way in DC, all my friends called to make sure I knew. Of course I ended up at Borders Music....and it was on sale! I still feel the goosebumps from hearing THIS song for the first time. It really ressurected my psyche! Long live the Queen!

Aug 5, 2008 - The part of the track that comes after the song is what makes this album as powerful. Hip-hop would have NEVER gone to this level without Erykah's soul takin' it there.

Sep 10, 2008 - This album of hers is a great album, because the lyrical content. Twinkle, which is a song that is a story for the history of black people in america shows the process of how african americans were enslaved since the beginning of time. "Started with a rhyme from old ancient times." The whole stanza of her art shows people, how witches and warlocks put spells on the slaves in extenstion to other methods of slavery.

Sep 10, 2008 - Be careful little tongue what you say, is what i used to hear as a adolescent. Words are powerful. Our generation doesn't use our GOD given power, our tongue. That is what the man at the end of the song means.
