All octaves, all heart, all swept-away soul. Scott spent the second half of the show holding forth on black love and her past relationship drama. You Remember a song about brothers who have selective amnesia when seen on the street with their white girlfriends, she held the mic, her other hand on her hip, and implored the crowd like Oprah doing a show on relationships. This one is for my brothas who have women who don t look like they mamas, she chided, though quite serious. This is the part in the show that makes some feel a little uncomfortable.
Love is love.
The Oakland crowd was on their feet feelin it too. Scott often traded lyrics with the audience, imploring them for more energy. Between songs, she often returned to the issue of relationships. Direct and honest about her own misadventures, heartbreaks, and empty affairs she revealed her latest love revelation. It ain t nothin like being in love, she declared.
