"'Word to the Badd!!'" is a song by American musician Jermaine Jackson, taken from his thirteenth studio album 'You Said' (1991). The song was written by Jackson, L.A. Reid, Babyface, Daryl Simmons and labelmates TLC's group member Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes. It was produced by Reid, Babyface, Simmons and Kayo. The song was released as the album's lead single on August 13, 1991, by LaFace Records and Arista Records. It reached #78 on the Billboard Hot 100 on November 30, 1991. It also peaked very low on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart at #88. An early appearance of TLC, the song features vocals from T-Boz, with fellow member Left Eye ghostwritten Jackson's rap verse, thus earning her co-writing credit. The original version of the track, later edited for its album appearance, gained significant controversy for its scathing lyrics directed towards Jermaine's brother Michael.[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1vNGey9ugwY Jackson Family Interview (1993) - Part 1] Both versions are featured on the 2014 expanded edition of 'You Said'.
