I have spent 15 years trying decide whether this song is a) the greatest song pop song ever made or b) an act of wanton plagiarism - nicking every lick/riff/rhyme/figurative metaphor/harmony ever produced by real artists.
I've now decided...too late...that it's the best song I've ever heard in my life. I just don't care...they are artists for making it greater than any of the crap bits the make up its awesome sum.
als ich das im radio hörte dachte ich das das so ein remix ist weil die hintergrund stime irgenwie so ähnlich oder so gleich wie von mario winnans i dont wanne no klingt xD und jetzt weiss ich das das lied von den fugees ist und kein remix ist^^!

Thank you Fugees for such a beautiful song! It just captures me! My little brother and I actually made a song for my mom on this instrumental for her birthday! She cried when she heard it. It's on my channel as part of one of my episodes.
@DwanGerolsteiner Voll die Pisser, DIE KÖNNEN DEN BOSS DOCH NICHT DEN BEAT KLAUEN!!!! Das lied wurde doch erst in den 90er aufgenommen. Was für Spasten!!!
Sooooo dope. Hope all the idiots wake up soon and notice the old music used to have soul. Now it's all about reaching more sheep and making more money, hence Young Money, Gaga, etc.
Yes, I put Gaga and Young Money in the same bracket. Go fuck yourself.
great song, great artists: searched for the live version to compare it to chef'special... which stays my favorite version of this song even if its not the original..
Hi im an artist from the uk ive made hot! material 4 2011 and i wud appreciate if u took a couple min n stopped by on my channel to hear me out "its the kingpin"
@RampanT77 I don't think she wasted her talent. She just put her kids and her personal sanity before the music industry. Word is that she is always writing songs so if and when she decides to record a new album it will because she feels inspired to share it with the world.
@bolder2009 It's still wasted talent though. She's obviously got her priorities right in her life - she's not wasted her talent in a Whitney Houston kind of way. But the end result is the same for her fans - namely, no new material. It's been 10 years - maybe even13 yrs if you go back to her last proper album. There could have been 5 or 6 new albums in that time. She's missed her prime with inactivity. She'll never get that back.
@RampanT77 Perhaps from a fans perspective, but she crammed a lot of great moments in a short space of time. Writing & producing a classic hit song for Aretha Franklin (and directing the video), Carlos Santana, Whitney Houston, Mary J Blige and others. Her solo debut is the definitive album of the HipHop generation (the 'Songs In The Key Of Life' of the 90's). She's won 8 grammys and more awards, sold millions and had No. 1 records solo and as part of a group. She did all this by her mid 20's!
@bolder2009 That's my point though. She was 22 when she wrote 'mis-education'. So she was involved with 2 great albums up to that point - clearly super talented. But she's not really done anything since - by her own choice. Which is a waste to us and the world. It would be like Lennon and McCartney packing it in after they wrote 'A Hard Day's Night'. That was her choice, and only she knows if it was the right thing for her. But to the fans - it's tragic.
@RampanT77 I'll rather have 2 soulful masterpieces than 5 or 6 decent yet uninspired albums, like so many recording artists (and I use the word artist loosely) in the industry who are mere business men and women. Not many seem to want to inspire. Lauryn is in the company of artists like Bill Withers, Curtis Mayfield, etc....artists who actually CARED enough about that impact of the music they released. In the mid 80's Bill Withers left the industry when he saw the direction it was going in.
@bolder2009 Sure - but at the same time, I'm certain that Lauryn Hill could have released some material in the last 10 years in some kind of way. She could have set up her own label, or sold it through her website - or she could have even just given it away for free if she has so many hang-ups about 'the industry'. Basically, she only wants to release music she believes in - and nowadays, artists can absolutely do that. Musicians no longer need the 'corporate music industry' backing.
@RampanT77 Well I don't have any facts, but I remember hearing about an album that was rejected by her record company. This was shortly before her short-lived reunion with The Fugees. Its seems her blabel didn't think the material was commercial enough. That's the problem with being on a major label. Like I said I don't have any facts as to whether this is true or not. But word is MJ's first submission of Invincible in late 1999 was rejected by the same lable, so who knows.
@RampanT77 And I think she attempted to sell her music through her website. I remember her song and video 'Social Drugs' was offered on her website. I don't know what happened. Maybe it didn't get the response she had hoped for. It seems that she and her label were at odd with each other. 'Lose my self' was the last thing she officially released, on the Surf's Up soundtrack. My other concern is her voice. It sounds very strained and damaged in the footage of her live performances since 2006.
@sparks199 :( as i suspected. just asked cus i hadnt heard them on brittish radio ever nd the video was uploaded a year ago. but thanks for puttin me straight
@heaftig the humming was actually in an Enya song first: Boadecea, then in this song then in the song by Mario Winans: Don't wanna know. I don't know why they took from the Enya song but it fits imo
