so BIG it hurts. I know it's a bold shout but for me the fugees were (almost) single handedly responsible for reconeecting hip hop with its Reggae roots.
Outstanding. These guys have a dimension lacking in contemporary forms of vocal narrative: soul. Meaningful music about struggles within the hiphop community rather than cliche's resistance to "the white man".
I love how they always stole all kinds of methods of delivery from Jamaican DJ artist but paid them no homage. I sure those artist you stole from respect you.
I remember 1994, when MTV was independant and inspired the world.
This was an absolutely brilliant performance by the Fugees, and SONY erased every good version on the web. Faceless men, with no reputation or honour, and i mean you - SONY gnomes - cripple and delete music everywhere. The dirt on my shoes has more dignity.
What happened to Clef? His flow used to be as good as Lauryn's. Check out the word play on 4:27 to 4:32, "So I stay off the court, even though i'm in and out of court, I got caught drinking a quart, I'm back in court, eee, hee, get it"? Even Lauryn had to sniggle that!! WHEN WILL REAL HIP-HOP come back. WHEN WILL THE FUGEES JUST SWALLOW THEIR PRIDE AND EGOS and get back to making some good music? WHO WANTS A NEW FUGEES ALBUM?
i like this a lot, but i heard they didnt want a comeback and you know what ? im fine with it cuz music biz its all about profit and if the would come back they had to make the same shit they do on the mainstream, do u really want that? answer is easy for me.
excuse me while i blow my nose for those who like live shows....haha!
MTV raps was not before my time I just got confused seeing the the DougPark 2007 trademark in the lower right hand corner. Either way this is still one of my favorite Fugees tune. Besides as far as YO MtV raps goes Ed Lover and the other (Dr Dre) are my best friends :P
lauryn is too amazing. theres no females that can compare to her lyrically. the only one who gets close is no lay. look this up on youtube..."no. lay bars of truth"
That's definitely the truth; she should be on any list of legendary emcees, although it is unfortunate we only have three albums of her rapping extensively. I wouldn't mind having another Fugees album and solo album at least, ha.
tHIS IS REAL HIP HOP..........(SONG TO HIP HOP )HEY BABY BEEN ALONG TIME MISSING YOU....NIGGAS JUST BEEN FUCKING YOU...PUT YOU TO THE SIDE...LOL I NEED TO STOP SMOKEN THAT GREEN...LOL
This is a Great Video. You all should check out Vthov's music. Finally someone speakin some real shit. Search "Vthov Obama Inauguration Song" He makes great music.
FINALLY! AM I SO GLAD TO SEE THIS...WAS GETTING PISSED OFF AT WATCHING THE ALTERNATE VOCAB VERSION...OH JOY! THANKS SO MUCH FOR THIS DON'T EVER TAKE THIS TIMELESS PEICE OFf YT!!! PEACE
this was actually the 4th version. u had the original album version, the video remix which was the single, the salaam remi remix and this yo mtv version. i was going to upload this myself but just found it up here today. i recorded it from YO MTV RAPS back when it first premiered there.
phenomenal...this song was solely responsible for getting me back into listening to contemporary hiphop/pop music...changed my freakin life...one of the greatest rap songs of all time...baffles me why they released the remix of this song as the single...the original was simply an outstanding track...
Riiiiiiight! What the hell was he was talking about. I mean, I dont want to hate on him but that whole performance just took a wrong turn when he got on the mic.
