Lauryn Hill: Ex-Factor

[socialchronic]

my teenage life changed when it got to THIS song off the miseducation. Track 3 or 4 i think. I remember turning off the tape deck and sitting in silence for about 10 mins with my hand to my mouth like "wooooow". sounds corny but soooo true. Lauryn just takes you there man.... haven't looked at music the same since

[BrittSymone]

Her Voice just gives me chills all over !

Thumbss Up if you agree ^^^

[niciaabxtches]

This is my favorite song (:

I plan to do a cover on it soon! Everyone check it out

[janelle182011]

love thins song!

[sexybbry]

@janelle182011 me 2!

[janemidnight]

Who doesn't cry when they hear this song? haha. As long as you've been in this situation, you can't help it.

[Kenner504Boi]

Love this... <3

[xUsHeRsNuMba1faNx]

This song really hits my heart.

[probrojeffro]

So beautiful. Come back Lauryn

[tiarekhalo1]

about a year ago i found this c.d in a box in the closet and nearly died!

[prettyladydtown]

This song is so powerful!

[tomasetti38]

Luv this song always!!!!

[YourWife2008]

Damn this was the soundtrack to my early 20's. Mad flashbacks!

[kayvonnmakk]

top 5 all-time

[girraud]

I really, really, love this song. Even though Jean and Pras may think that Lauryn is crazy as hell, I must say, her music, lyrics, and emotions were so deep rooted into her soul, it makes me wonder if they are the ones with the problems. So, I guess we'll never see a true Fugees reunion soon.

[Daydream7654]

The best ever

[henry147]

omg goosebumps r killing me right now...love this song...

[sleepyjayjr]

I was young when this song came out(5th grade), so I didn't have much relationship experience, but now I'm grown and I broke up with my soul mate, and this was my go to song....and this song reminds me of how stupid I was

[michaelswifey4lyfe]

Cry For Me Cry For Me You Said You'd Die For Me...............How I Feel Right Now

[cookiejoanna]

she could not have explained my feelings better. and the feelings of others alike

[Berwynjunior]

lauryn where are you?? the game fuckin seriously needs you and we all kno that..why dont you

[patricias1227]

love her so much

[dahighbar]

"Where were you when I NEEDED YOU"

[LESLIEYAHAIRA21]

Lovee this song ! I can soo relate to this song at the moment .. Or should I say for the past 1 1/2 :/

[yayar101]

this song reminds of a friday after-noon, in otober, when i went home from school.. i was in my room listening to this, looking at the rain through my window while thinking of all the bad people, the liars that surrounded me x_x

[thisISmartinJR]

"you let go & i'll let go too"....so easily said, so hard to do.

[TogetherAtLast]

I feel like this is one of the few songs a lot of people can relate to. Always going back to that person who keeps hurting you to the point where you don't have anymore excuses to use except that you love them. And when they keep hurting you and you wise up enough to walk away, they keep pulling you back. Vicious cycle. Beautiful song

[djlazy123able]

OMG this really works

1.hold breathe for 10mins

2.die

3.funeral

[bacutie4eva]

@djlazy123able Pfft if it did how come I'm still alive ;D

[sandra461234]

what makes artists like this withdraw from us ?

[TashaG16]

This song is totally how I've been feeling for over a year. Just can't seem to move on and as much as I pray about it. It stays the same. No matter what I do it always seem to come right back to me. Love is crazy.

[misschane1]

This is real music that needs to make a major comeback

[hateluv15]

This how I feel about my ex

[joyMjoy]

[azngrlmaney89]

[25badgurl]

[MrBlpete]

[ImanIndigo]

This song seriously gives me goose bumps. "Where were you when I needed you?" Like, I can't listen to this song without getting emotional.

[jeannet84]

@ImanIndigo me 2 its like she singing .... the words from my heart.....

[schefdeh5]

@ImanIndigo

Stop being such a whimp

[ImanIndigo]

I don't see how anyone could possibly dislike this song. Like, it's probably the best song ever.

[vaux21]

1998 it cant be this old

[TheXxchantellxx]

lauryn hill is very talented,she should do some new music x

[SweetChocolateDropTV]

vh1 sent me here

[isaiahking95]

I'm Not Saying Nicki Minaj Is A Bad Rapper, I'm Just Saying Not One Of Her Songs Have Even Remotely As Much Meaning As This One Song Or any of lauryns work for that matter + She Can Actually Sing & Rap!

[vanqua1]

Its 2011 but this will always be my song. Love u Lauryn!!!

[drudafuture1]

[dahighbar]

@drudafuture1 My favorite line of the song as well :)

[cutie734638]

I love her music sooooooooooo much! Her music is so healing to me, and helps me and other people get through tough timees.. LOVE HER!:)

[LadyChink]

I dont even think she understood what she was creating when she made this song. A timeless classic. No one holds a candle to Ms. Lauryn Hill

[man012able]

@LadyChink Yeah. She said in a recent interview she didn't think Miseducation album was gong to be loved by so many people and was kind of overwhelmed.

[slassor]

Pure.

[rundpg]

yeah nice....miss her.

[kirkholloway101391]

lauryn hill is da shit real talk

[an083091]

easily the best female rapper ever

[an083091]

@an083091 and before you trollers point out the obvious and say she's singing in this song, please note that im talking about her body of work collectively, which certainly includes her spittin some sick lines

[an083091]

@an083091 and before you trollers point out the obvious and say she's singing in this song, please note that im talking about her body of work collectively, which certainly includes her spittin some sick lines

[lesliie713]

just amazing. this song describes my current situation perfectly..it helps too.

[Nuke091]

i get what ya'll are saying about the whole Nicki thing, but really come on now Nicki is not a bad rapper at all and besides you shouldn't bring down an artist just to bring another one up

[Risin9Ph03nix]

@Nuke091 Nicki Minaj is actually a HORRIFYING rapper lol

[BrownEyedBeauty003]

that guitar solo is perfect

[MrSicktodeaf]

[BDavisLegend]

[beautiful4601]

[fablyss]

This made me discover what it feels like to really love a music from your soul to your heart.

[bassetdaboss1]

nice song

[lmccoy74]

This is my favorite song!

[dorynemilo]

Man this song epitomises those times when you can't explain or express why your still with him and you just listen to this song and you think thank god lauryn understands...it really does explain every emotion a young girl goes through in her mind... "as painful as this thing has been, i just can't be with no one else...." sing it lauryn...

[afrikan08]

why would there be a commercial for this song if there is no music video

[Niesha18C]

[thegabster32]

@rrjones91 lmaooooo

[alliedtoni]

I LOVE this song. I feel wat she's sayin.

[SmileyyBabyy14]

Why are people praising Lauryn while knocking other artists? Please, dont do that. This is a Lauryn Hill video not a Nicki Minaj or Beyonce video so don't bring them up or even try to compare them to her. Those three are in TOTALLY different genres of music so don't even try that.

<3 Lauryn Hill

[wicca4991]

The guitar made this song so much more special...#RealMusicRightHere

[iSLAND3MiX]

Too raw..its amazing how she takes EXACTLY what your feeling and puts it into such a powerful song.

[TheLrainee]

@iSLAND3MiX too true!! this describes a past relationship to a T where I had to sing it to him. never has a song hit exactly what I wanna to say in such depth!

[rizzy420og]

i loveeeeee lauryn hilll !!!!! she needs to come backkk !!! #TEAM #LILKIM

[shadowfangirl4life]

Holy shit! I had to watch a commercial and i wasn't even watching vevo or nothing! But it was worth it to listen to this song +_+

[MrPatterson14]

i had to like it because now i can see where my ex-girlfriend is comin from..i hurt her in the past. but now its like i dnt wnt anyone bt her

[FrankieGgoes]

this is like the most honest song ive ever heard in my life man. no doubt

[CCollinsize]

[Starskylina87]

I love this song when came out I was 11 years old and til this day I can't get enough and to all 22 haters you can go to hell for hatin' on this.

So much soul to her music. Its beauitul. Seems as if music these days lack soul. Much love lauryn hill!

[MegaJasmine2012]

THis song makes me fill so many different emotions that I can't even explain. This is a true artist, when you are able to make your music let people feel different emotions and think.! Maxwell, Lauren Hill, India Arie, Eryka Badhu, and Common. Others too, but Gosh they make fave-oh and I love Recognition-

[deangelo453]

One of my favorites of hers...so talented. May God be with her where ever she may be and is going through. If it is His will please bring her back to light in the music industry. These mainstream artists are so lost...

[talktomebitch905]

[prettyladydtown]

REAL MUSIC!

[leah8112]

[trice334wonderwoman2]

It could all be so simple, but you'd rather make it hard. Loving you is like a battle and we both end up with scars. #ExFactor

[RightEarMuzik]

[piiinky7]

Back when females can spit, know apart from Jean Grae all we got is a barbie doll being forced on us.
