Featuring: Queen Latifah, Yo-Yo, Lisa 'Left Eye' Lopes (of TLC), MC Lyte, Patra, Nefertiti, Da 5 Footaz, Salt-N-Pepa, Meshell Ndegeocello and others...
The all-star recording of both the song and solemn black-and-white video for "Freedom" took place directly after the American Music Awards in 1995. According to its promotional single's liner notes, the song was a tribute to women of the past like Harriet Tubman, Sojourner Truth, Rosa Parks, Coretta Scott King, Shirley Chisholm, and Angela Davis who played major roles in black resistance, as well as the empowerment of women of the present.
"Freedom" is a cover of a song originally performed by underground R&B singer Joi on her acclaimed 1994 album Pendulum Vibe. The song was re-recorded as the official theme for the award winning film Panther. The song was produced by Dallas Austin and Diamond D, "Freedom" reached the top twenty of the Billboard Hot 100 in 1995. The song featured female R&B singers, who at the time were popular acts in R&B and/or Pop music. The vocals were arranged by former Vertical Hold singer Angie Stone, and Me'Shell Ndegéocello contributed bass guitar as well.
A music video was also released to promote the song. It went top five on the MTV Jams countdown, and number two on BET's Coca-Cola Video Soul Top 20 weekly countdown.
Retail and promotional releases of the single also featured a rap-only version of the song featuring Salt-N-Pepa, Queen Latifah, Lisa 'Left Eye' Lopes of TLC, Yo Yo, MC Lyte, Da 5 Footaz, Patra, and Me'Shell Ndegéocello. A music video for this version was also in rotation.
The single peaked at #10 on Billboard's R&B Singles Chart and #18 Pop, contributing to the success of soundtrack album on the charts (#5, R&B Albums and #37 Pop Albums).

Cussing And All

Left Eye's verse gives me chills. As always.
I love your voice.

For some reason, I always thought from an intellectual/lyrical aspect...Left Eye was like a "female" version of Tupac.
Left Eye was spitting that real!
morena101 Yees she always have. But this song she blazed her verse. Miss her so much. One of my favorite Geminis! 🤗🤗😍😍🙇🙏🎵🎶🎤🎼🔥🔥🔥👑👑💗💕

Damn I'm glad I grew up in an era when real female MC's kicked the knowledge. Queen Latifah, Lauryn Hill, MC Lyte , Monie Love, Eve.
Yessssssss

I miss this type of comradary amongst female artists. Once Kim and foxy couldn't get along it's been all downhill since smh
latifah,YOYO MC Lyte Nefertiti..I know what to expect from them...but Left Eye?...holy shit.
Much respect to left eye she did her thing
Left Eye burned the house down....lawdhamercy. 💎💎💎💎💎
LEFT EYE ATE omg😭
Left Eye snapped.
two thumbs for left eye because she spoked the truth
A lot of Black Female Artists now a days, don't have the guts to do what these strong powerful black women did! I'm glad there is still some examples of a real black women out here!!!
And they aint walkin around talkin about how good they are in bed .. Like these millennial girl rappers.
Dis guurls tooo busy fuxxx around an beeing foolish😏🙄
Untrue they don’t have the green light. This song was a soundtrack for a film directed and distributed by blacks.
They are all clones now being told what to do and say
@@leomartin5965 To be fair some of these artists did, including Left Eye, although they still had knowledge of self and also tried to show uplifting positive messages as well.
The Meshell Ndegeocello riff is everything on this track.
BLACK GIRLS ROCK!
Meshell Ndegeocello is the soul of both versions and Left Eye brought that fire.
Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes bodied this track. Her bars🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
“A bird is never more important than my people” - YES 👏🏽 LEFT EYE 👏🏽
Yoyo and Left Eye absolutely murdered this
I feel sorry for the young girls in our generation have no respect for real music like this. They're lost.
kiddkevo
Who do they have representing them? Nicki Minaj...that's it!!!!
kiddkevo Only the girls??
+Kevin Diyoka You mean some young girls. The some young girls that let today's way of life corrupt them and drive them to being lost. Not every girl of this generation is brainwashed.
its true but not onlu girls!
Latifah's intro was dope
Salt N Pepa's verse was 🔥🔥🔥
SALT-N-PEPA‼️❤️‼️
Left Eye brought that HEAT!!!
Yo left eye tho…I’m still dissecting her rhyme💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿👸🏾🕊
Left eye kills it
Lisa 'Left Eye' Lopez (R.I.P) :
"Whoever said these are the things that you can do
And the things you ain't supposed to
So am I further when I think I'm getting closer
That's when I tend to think of Rosa
How was it
Took a seat to make a stand
But now in standing we've gotten more demanding
They never thought in planning
That a wish for us to sit would be a dose of
This fucking rollercoaster
Whether tradition or religion
Why you question my decision
Why you spend up all your time trying to
Get into my mind
Why everybody and they mama
Gots to add to all my drama mad drama
Hell if i'ma keep my dominating feministic hell
Creating crazysexycool black ass
In the palms of your player hater's stands
My only chance of being free is to fly within me
And it's illegal to kill a fucking eagle
A bird is never more important than my people
I guess we didn't need him so I took away his freedom"
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Bars!
Absolutely! She's gonna be my wife in heaven!
Ayanna_72 I’m so glad you put this on here cause I couldn’t hear most of her rap, I’m bout deaf 😂
*Lopes
Lisa was killed.If you guys think otherwise you're doomed
WiseMan Max she most definitely was
Sistas anthem!!! Let's be that ladies, steady uplifting eachother... Bring this kind of hip hop back, seriously!!!
My Black friend Leonard said: The Brothas don't need anymore muff diving going on while they tryin to get their "Mack on". In other wards, female rappers that like men should stick together and let the "other ones" do their own type of Rap somewhere else.
Left eye killed it!!!
Queen Latifah and Left Eye on one song? Sicker than all your viruses.
They even have jamacian dancehall, hip-hop and reggae artist, Patra! 💚💛🖤
I remember this left eye literally stole the show and embodied her verse you felt it from the depths of her soul.
Damn Lisa Killed it, if I had to use one word to describe her part it would be "REPEAT" !!!! I herd the version with all the black female singers of the 90's but the female rap version hit me harder. oooohhh I wish that black women were like this today, expressing their creative talents together and not hatting each other!!! Lisa's part hit me the most she always went straight to the point and didn't sugar coat it R.I.P Lisa "Left-Eye" Lopes
Yeah I agree this version hit me harder!
Exactly all this hate and jealously among black females today isn't necessary.We have to stick together and empower each other. Life is too short to waste our energy on hate and envy.
Yes, that is very very true... people need to stop hatting and start congradulating one another.
You have to support independent artists. The only ones you see visibly are owned and controlled by corporate media. You have to literally boycott all corporate owned and controlled rap artists and entertainers.
which one was lisa
Should have won a Grammy and Oscar for best original song for a motion picture. 🇬🇧
Left Eye killed it. Ate them all up. Sorry, she did
That wasn’t the purpose of this particular track
90s hip hop woman RESPECT !!!! None of this shit today
2paacalipse fr
Lisa rap went so hard!! she killed it tho... miss you left eye! 😩❤😘
THIS is the ultimate female rap song!!
mad respect to black panthers ✊✊

Fuck the black panthers.
@@keelyleilani1326 🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕
Keely Leilani fuck u, u black face wearing bitch. There’s racism all over u. 🖕🏾🖕🏾🖕🏾
I love the respect lefteye getting 🖤🖤🖤🖤
Damn Lisa went ham in her verse!!!!!!
Lisa fully kills this track. Best verse in the whole thing
Left Eye bodied this!!
These are the black Queens I miss❤️💐💯
Left eye! Wow!
L-Y-T-E showed why she's in the books, and Left Eye did what's natural to her, but Nefertiti caught me off guard first time I heard this one. This is power. This is what it should be!
left eye killed it all the way.
When black artists would come together ❤
Over 20 years later and this is still very relevant, my black sisters stand together ✊🏾
R.I.P. LEFT EYE
and Aaliyah, who's also in this crossover song.
Never heard this song before, Patra Meshelle, Mc Lyte, Tlc, Latifa on a song together,what! Cant get better than this.
1:43 - Left EYE snapped!! REAL HIPHOP ✊🏿✊🏿 RIP Chick! You definitely was a REAL one! Love black women with class and intellect!
Nearly forgot about this song. What an epic posse cut.
THE GOOD OLD DAYS WHERE MUSIC SOUNDED SO GOOD
all my favorite females artist 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
High Vibrations
Real Black Queens.
Meshell N is always been underrated.
You won't catch that many female artists come together and make great music anymore too many prides an Egos
When women worked together ❤! 🔥
When women were about lyrical skills and not raunchy skills. Respect to the Queens.
Beautiful black sistahs doing they thang
I only see grand legends!
Left Eye got BARS!!!
Back when HipHop was talking real life & reality..not money, sex, & bitches. 🙌
Its attractive when girls can spit flows like tht
+Athenaaa' Mae. Hip Hop still spits that real. You just ain't got your ears tuned to the right outlets.
It's funny when people say things like that after listening a song called freedom, y'all fucked up
They been talkin about money sex and bitches since the eighties where you been
Jy Z
No actually since the late 50s early 60s
I'm 17 years old and someone posted Lisa's part on Instagram a few days ago I've been listening to this song for 3 days and I'm in love this
The feminine lyrical power on display here is LEGENDARY!!! Makes me feel bad for today's generation. All they have is Nicki Minaj...that should say it all...smh.
4 years later now they have cardi b, it got even worse
Everbody missing the point , we are supposed to stick
Together, hence the name of the song, dont matter if you dont like the new generation , its their time now, olders need to teach!🤔
EXACTLY. That's I'm watching these women again.
Nicki minaj is a fucking m c. She isnt the only female rapper yet u keep bringing her up. Your so proud of music like this but couldnt keep them relevant think about that
L. Austin Wasn’t about keeping them relevant. People move on and do other things producing, etc. They can’t keep rapping forever waiting on someone to come with some common sense. These young ones fell for the okie doke (male and female, sex and violence).
Black is beautiful
Props to Queen La and MC Lyte but Left Eye turned that ish up!!!
Left eye 👁 n aaliyah I love them may they both rest in peace 🙏🏾
Queen Latifah, Yoyo and Salt-N-Pepa's verses were my favorites
All Legendary Female MC'S Kept It 💯 On This Track. RIP Left Eye 🙏
3:02 The legendary Nefertiti 🖤💚❤️👊🏽👊🏽
Now this is FREEDOM
Left Eye Brought Me Here 💯
Respect to all you sistaz, love from East Africa. RIP Left Eye
I miss these ladies
Was just thinking that as i was scrolling comments.
Patra and Left Eye Ate
What a posse cut!
R.I.P. Left Eye.
LEFTEYE!!!! Hear me when I tell ya the Girl was the TRUTH!
Lefteye kilted it
She sure did
Left-Eye was just a BEAST at music. Her flow is the smoothest I've ever heard
The Queen killed it.
They sleep on Queen
I’M BLACK & I’M FREE 🤸🏽♀️🦋💃🏽🦋🧘🏽♀️🦋✨💫💋
I've been looking for this track for the longest time! I need to download it before it disappears. Every single black female needs to listen this at least once a day. Quality without a doubt.
Yay to see my favorite artist females: Queen Latifah,Yo Yo, TLC, Mc Lyte and Salt n Pepa but Left Eye killed this damn beat soo dope! R.I.P.
3:52 Meshell's verse is also a line from her song "Step Into the Projects"
This is real sisters throwing straight bars.
No twerking or porn rap. Purely showing the black woman as wise, knowledgeable and revolutionary. Will never see this again.
If this isn't THE song for the International woman's day, I don't know ❤
Left Eye was always on another level
Salt n Pep lyrics! 🙏🏽👑🔥🔥🔥
Left eye Killed the beat 🔥.... Love u Rest In Peace baby girl ❤️
Lisa Left-eye Lopes always had a hard flow and switched flows a lot 1:47 - 2:29 . She rapped better than half of all these women on this cut here. They’re legends to but Lisa was something else. Her tone and flow is something else. Anytime she raps T-Boz & Chili always smiled because they fed off her energy. I always loved her flow rip 🫶🏾.
Lisa "LEFT EYE" Lopes verse oh my goodness 🔥🔥 may her soul forever rest in peace
Back when female rappers sticked together and made Hits and not this modern beefing over nonsense
All the young ladies today who idolize Nicki M. and Miley and are trying to follow in their footsteps need to listen to this type of music and get a reality check.
You are right,but who the hell is miley?
whoopyoass she meant miley cyrus
Ima young girl and this is the music i listen to lol this is what inspires me and ima continue to listen to songs like this who knows i might make a change in the industry
Dominique Sam Good luck! :)
Nicki M is proper.. You should edit this and write Cardi B
