Before Jill Scott released her albumLight Of the Sun she stoked the fires of my very inappropriate crush. In an interview with HotHipHopDetroit she revealed that she had a song called “So Gone” featuring Paul Wall that is “something for the strippers as well.” So in celebration I composed an ode to Jill’s Sexiest Lyrics.
True confession time. I’m going through some serious Jill Scott withdrawal.
Earlier this year there was buzz that she was coming out with a new album but I think she’s tied up (ahem…where was I? oh…) in some ugly legal issues with her label Hidden Beach. So it may still be some time before I get to unwrap some new ear candy from her.
What do I love so much about Jill? I can give you a list of redeeming qualities from her passionate lyrics to that powerful voice but I’d be lying. I love Jill cuz she’s a freak. There. I said it. There are some truly soul-stirring voices in R&B (Amel, Mary, Leela) but none of them evoke that spring summer feeling like Jill. Is it a physical thing? Damn skippy. I think Jilly has some of the most beautiful legs in the biz and her bosom buddies are any man’s breast friend. But it’s really her mouth. That wonderfully flirtatious, trophy-kissing, potty mouth that can truly make you come to your senses.

Thus, I must crown Jill Scott the Queen of Aural Sex. Until she blesses us with some new grooves here are the 5 verses I keep in my personal highlight reel.
Although the night before you were in my home, my body, my dome
In a circle of passion we Paris, Italy, Japan, Africa, Rome
We made music, we tromboooone
Jill literally gets horny in her description of sweet trans Atlantic seduction. I’ll bet anybody she’s a card-carrying member of the mile-high club.
4. “Cross My Mind“–Beautifully Human, Words & Sounds Vol 2.
How…Amazing…When you would spread my limbs cross continents/Bump our bed way over mountains/Kiss this and this and this and this and this and this and this and this and this and that.
Once again she shows off her globe trottin’ ways reminiscing on an old flame but we’re not complaining. I also want to give high fives to the director for the close-ups on her lips in the video.
3. “Epiphany“– The Real Thing, Words & Sounds Vol. 3
Rode Mt.Saint Scott ’til ooooo
Creamy lava landed on my skin and neck
Blended with my all day Chanel scent
This freaking was incredulent, decadent
Flip side,stomach meets sheets
He plows inside as if he’s making beats
As if this year’s harvest depended on it
Bendin’on it
Back on my back old fashioned is renewed
Red toenail polish on whitewalls
Documenting this freaking,ahhhhh
Jill pulled out all of the stops using her Hentai-inspired Butterfly Bra fillers to make a manwich with extra mayo and then winking at the foot fetish fanatics in the same song. Damn.
The rain was fallin and,and slowly and sweetly and stinging my eyes
And I could not see that he became my voodoo priest
And I was his faithful concubine
Wide open,wide,loose like bowels after collard greens
The mistake was made
Love slipped from my lips
Dripped down my chin and landed in his lap
And us became new
I’ve had many debates about whether the “love” slipping from her lips was literal (her saying the word and hence changing the relationship) or was it a more subtle liquid “love” that landed in his lap Lewinsky style. What do you think?
1.”Crown Royal”–The Real Thing, Words & Sounds Vol. 3
Your hands on my hips pull me right back
to you, I Catch that thrust give it right back to you,
you’re in so deep I’m breathing for you,you
Grab my braids arch my back high for
you your Diesel engine,I’m squirting mad oil on
I do believe this is the first documented mention of squirting of any kind in an R&B song. The only tragedy was that this was just an interlude, but I guess it’s always best to leave them wanting more. Hurry back, Jill!
