Meaning they stole it; practically armed robbery. Badu often performs with a live band; they should have at least replayed it.

What does "Plain Jacked" mean?

napoleanace said on Thursday, 07 April 2011:
Now this is a good sample...unlike agitation which was plain jacked. Love the guitar riffs

Debco7 said on Friday, 17 December 2010:
I love both tracks. i like the original track mainly because of Wings' vocal harmonies, which is the highlight of that song. But, the sampling track i also like, because of the additional guitar riffs and miss. Badu's vocals. Also, Erykah out-did herself when she incorporated Wings' vocal harmonies into her song. i'm quite surprised that "Gone Baby, Don't Be Long" wasn't released as a single. Well, at least the younger generation who don't already know Paul McCartney & Wings is will know who Wings was, and who Paul McCartney is.
