Oh my oh my...if you weren't in the Super Dome when Jill Scott performed at the 2008 Essence Music Fest, then I don't know if I can accurately describe the feeling when she return to the stage after her set to perform this song. She began by telling the crowd that the talents that artists have are blessings and that you have move when the spirit leads you, therefore she had to share what she was given... It's called "And I Heard." She's performed it live before in some of her previous shows, so I hope she records this in the studio!

The crowd just stopped and tuned into what she was singing and by the end the whole building was singing along with her! It was absolutely beautiful and I had to share this POP-JUNKIE.com exclusive with you guys.

Being a Grammy-winning soul sista doesn't mean you won't get called "the n-word" in 2007! But ya'll know Jilly from Philly don't take any foolery...
...she was alone, "waiting outside for the valet to bring the car round, and these … I say kids, but they must have been 25, looking wealthy, five-o'clock-in-the-morning wasted. And this guy's saying, 'Step back nigger, step back nigger.' He's saying it like it's a song, but there's nobody out there but me. I was taken aback, and I said, 'Excuse me?'

And he said, 'Shut your mouth and don't say a word when a white man is talking.'

"I'm not kidding. I started laughing, and I followed him and his cohorts through the parking lot laughing hysterically, and they became more and more uncomfortable. It was one of the best moments of outrageous laughter I've had.

"To think for one moment I could possibly fit into that box … I am so far from that word that it is funny. They looked so uncomfortable; I wanted to emasculate him, to make sure he was getting no nookie that night. The girls sobered up and were looking scared. It was something else - the first time in my life I've been called that. Wow. But I enjoyed it. You must fight back; it's imperative. I like the fight in me now." [SOURCE]

Way to handle it! Loves it...
