Im So dissapointed with the negative comments on the this remarkable artist Lauryn Hill , instead of enjoying the music your looking for flaws, critizing and hateing on this woman but thats how some ppl are when they just want to be heard, Trully your Friend and a fan Cardean Smith , I Love The Song.

[me57487]

I don't know how she's performing under those lights with a wool cap, a t-shirt, a sweater, a jacket, a wool skirt and she's moving around like that under those performance lights! That's crazy! But, it sounds good. :)

[Michellemss1898]

I first heard this song on the radio and i honestly got to say i instantly loved it cuz the rest of the day it was stuck in my head :P lolz

[yanayona]

i don't like her singing. made me LOL but her raping epic !

[hatshepsutiv]

@yanayona you are kidding right she can really sing this may not be one of her better sounding performances but you have to see her in person some of the videos on here sound like crap see her live and you'll think different.

[retardswithrayguns]

come take a look at horror doo wop RETARDS WITH RAYGUNS subscribe

[5104560711]

@retardswithrayguns boooooooooo.

[anini53]

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!­amazing performance!!nicki who?NEEEXT!

[arouska]

Instead of just calling her the best female MC of all time, can we recognize that she's better than most male MCs?

[supgrobi]

now thats proper hiphop !

[claz34]

watch and learn...

[JayDrummerBoy]

she was so pretty...

[peculiarjazzj]

[safiya98]

lick two shots in the atmosphere....lauryn hill is a living legend

[nikkij92]

@geektoro now at ALL the white bands today i don't see one black person on stage . There just simply has to be a balance . if lauryn hill didn't hire the black people that the white people didn't hire them , who would hire them ? its just a BALANCE . 

[yoboiju23]

She Bomb !!!!

[ampangelica]

YES ! I LOVE HER SHE IS SO BEAUTIFUL!!!! brings memories i remeba me bein so lil n my mom bouncin me on her hip to this song awww shiddd good music REAL MUSIC =)

[doowopvault]

Why does she call this nonsense Doo wop? does she know what Doo wop is?

can she sing?

[jspankin]

@doowopvault @MiKKA335 It Is Hip Hop nobody thinks it is Doo Wop, the record has Doo Wop elements in it and the chorus is similar to an old Doo Wop song called 'playboys' by the Marvelettes. But Lauryn Hill is Hip Hop and contemporary R&B. And yes can sing (at times lol). I Love her voice especially in Sister Act

[thebizresources]

Now this is one of the reasons I was proud to claim hip hop....

[topfly010]

real music wtf happen ??? plz tell me

[geektoro]

luv this song,but in this era of political correctness, why does Ms. Hill get a pass? I don't see1 white flavor anywhere or anytime ever playing with her band[s]. i know she hates white but we music lovers don't hate her reguardless of our color. we all bleed red.

[90mv]

@geektoro well here's the thing you don't know she hates whitew people it's a rumour with no evidence

[Retta009]

@geektoro That was defiantly a rumor. 

[LennonDeservedToDie]

@geektoro She doesn't hate white. Don't believe everything the media says.

[AlfredDenathan]

22 deaf people hit dislike button.

[mariahthebest1]

@AlfredDenathan that just proves people don't know good music anymore.

[gouni88]

NPA show me a lot of crew of usa, wu tang cypress in 90's, lauryn hill too !! long live to hip hop ! peace and respect to the fugees from france !

[Tenewah]

That bass is wicked!

[MiKKA335]

wtf this isn't doo wop

[lafemmenaturalle]

@MiKKA335

its mixed in with the hip hop.

[jspankin]

@MiKKA335 It Is Hip Hop nobody thinks it is Doo Wop, the record has Doo Wop elements and the chorus is similar to an old Doo Wop song called 'playboys' by the Marvelettes. But Lauryn Hill is Hip Hop and contemporary R&B.

[10iluvpurple]

THATS THE REAL BEST FEMALE RAPPER ALIVE!!!!!!!!!! man take that piece of shit nicki minaj!

[gplay1890]

@10iluvpurple PREACH IT! Nicki doesn't even comes close to Lauryn!

[jan63019]

@10iluvpurple Nicki Minaj sucks she's nothing compare 2 LAURYN rocks!!!



[ericjungleboy]

What's NPA?

[doremifasolla77]

@ericjungleboy NPA stands for "Nulle Part Ailleurs" ("nowhere else" in english) and it is a French show with live performances like this one.

[moocheeba]

Best so far !!!

[daviane1]

CANTA MUIIIIIIIIITOOOOOOO

[peacenlove92]

this here young-ens is a real musician!

[CoreyBeasley2]

@peacenlove92 What instrument does she play? I don't see it.

[randykawasaki]

I'm a white Englishman.

And she is a Goddess.

[psx2514]

The Lauryn Hill that performed at Rock the Bells was NOT this Lauryn Hill. The rock the bells Lauryn Hill was fucking AWFUL!

[iread2thedeaf]

i thinks its crazy that she could rap AND sing!!.....

[malika810]

the 90's gave birth to the most SPECTACULAR r&b/hip-hop Artists! its only a one time thing, cant bring it back. I suppose thats what makes it so special.

[partsmet]

get that guy off stage!

[DrBoyWonder]

Wow, I MISS HER SO MUCH. COME BACK LAURYN!!!!!

[pmlts7]

EXCELENTE CHILE TE ESPERA

[thekingofpopj]

[Hal20062b]

@thekingofpopj i'm assuming 1999

[publicdoor1]

[nrhgardner]

Try and tell me Nicki Minaj is the best female MC of all time.

[dasqualll]

[TakhatMaat]

AMazing

[ouest1313]

[eminabbe]

She raps like a man, sings like a lady- she is the ONE !!

[bubbafluff21]

this is real rap, what we have today is fake

[lienquan]

this is why I'm so in love with hiphop and why I miss the old days too much. Wonder where're Nas and Lauryn. Maybe they've lost thier way.

Too much shits nowaday, Niki Minaj, Flo rida and whatever

[SmashingKinpumps]

geez. just watching this makes me run out of breath.

[pollux446]

@SmashingKinpumps thats becuase your scared

[KaneBrown1000]

You might appreciate this video recorded in NYC on an independent music television show called Video Music Box. A bunch of NYC-based hip-hop artists (Lauryn Hill, Method Man, Jeru the Damaja, etc) got together to talk about police brutality in their neighborhoods with Crazy Sam.

youtube.com/watch?v=tJEM8sIS0u­c

It's inspiring to see such talented artists with real compassion and concern for what was going on in the community.

[mariespurpleshoes]

Sing from your Lauryn!! God bless you. Stay strong.

[aylix89]

back in the days when you got what paid for in a concert

[kmart111]

lauryn + comeback = FIRE !

[waranish]

Epic!!

[vonnievonshay]

One of the very few rap artist out who can perform live with no back track, even being able to rap and sing at the same time! Greatness people, that other ish is garbage compared to Lauryn Hill!

[illestchicano]

Ms Hill is the one and only who can incorporate grace and femininity of a singer and the savageness of an MC in her music and make it work. I wish I could marry her.

[jenRod2323]

These girls today need to study the playbook of L Boogie. love dat....upforsunrise

[IIEHCuOHEP]

Really musical Doo Wop only in 50s. This is SLOPPY RAP!

[TheDeeRow]

Great. I remember this one as a present for my gf.

Lauryn flows... I`d like to do a show with her. This presence is hard to find nowadays with p++++-blingbling-rappers with their lack of flows and therefore features of even worse-flowing p++++-blingbling-"brothers".

[JazBlogShow]

too bad this clip doesnt cover the whole performance from the start!

[JazBlogShow]

good ole times... damn

[DestroySweater]

how you gonna win when you aint right within?

[jenRod2323]

@DestroySweater thats tha truth right their.

[mizemotion]

dang wen i watched her on sister act 2 i thot that she was the other girl wit the short hair and not the one wit da braids lolz...so wrong....

[calyscan]

This song is mad..... This performance is sick like crazy... Lauryn come back : you're an inspiration.....

[britneybritanaca]

I miss Lauryn. =(

[MaryJamesMurdoch]

@britneybritanaca Me too! :-( Maybe she's just busy with her kids?

[britneybritanaca]

@MaryJamesMurdoch /watch?v=F_NHAT7EPfU

[Boblesss222]

Most artists today are on stage in mini skirts up to their thighs and barely coverd all over. Here Lauryn oozes class just to look at her. If only musicians today could be at least a little more like her.

Either that or she should return to wow us all over again

[pplsaystuff]

beautiful! makes me sad. music nowadays is just...SHIT!! SHES DA TRUTH !

[Aaaaaraleeeee]

Joderrr ! Fantasticaaaaa !!!!

[MyAfroShow]

I hear that bass guitar. It's talking to me!!!!!

[buttapecan1]

love love love it, shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­hhhhit now thats some sik spitting right thurrrr right thurrr represent yah L Boogie ..

too bad she nuh so hype again shoulda kept the blunt blazing and leggo di cookie

[Laurynhillofficail]

Lauryn can spit harder than any other male or female artist alive. I wish she would come back.

[RonascA]

[Laurynhillofficail]

@RonascA 4 sure. nobody can compare

[youthfan22]

[joannlawarna]

LAURYN WE LOVE YOU!

[tomasosores]

El mejor anho para mi memoria musical.

En AL teniamos tambien a Molotov, Illya Kuriaki and the Valderramas, Cafe Tacvba, Aterciopelados, todo era magia.

[BizzTheFunk]

Lauryn should make another album

[thelastsoulja]

Lauryn hill, shes one of a kind, she can sing, she can do rap, reggae, unique, and his letters pure poetry, lauryn hill has maked a stand about hip hop really should be means to the people

[FUKMusicisoverratedM]

I miss hip hop.

[trizille]

@FUKMusicisoverratedM

I know broh... *sigh*

[KarjedahBarbie2862]

Lauryn dahs my girl. look adt her throwin in daht raggae style.

gette gurl.

[Microphonechecka2]

One of the most talented artists on the planet, she should really put more songs out

[bisus]

Does anyone know who plays the drums?

[kaduki90]

luv lauryn

[7777L]

Real Music.

[miznatacha]

Wow! I miss this type of hip hop/rap....most of today is trash.

[dodecopus]

not enough live bands in hip hop. voila, the prime example of what everyone is missing.

[brianofbluemethod]

@dodecopus Yes indeed! My bass player is on tour with her right now. What pisses me off is that in R&B as well, an artist will tour with an enormous band (i.e. Beyonce), but won't "create" the music with real instruments. Its always some producer pushing buttons in the studio and then a band on tour. Why not just create the music the way you'll eventually perform it live, no matter the genre?

[MsRoadrunner81]

Yeah...*****

[chakralove4]

real hip hop :)

[realmojoo]

like!

[beyo2233]

fake hair like europeans

[BetreuerAK]

cool ! i like it

[MoquiMarbleGER]

lauryn got still *wow* 5*

[sheltel72]

1st time ive actually sat and listened to good song 4 ages!good one well done

[TrueRnB]

Lauryn's swag was in top form in this performance. She knows how to move a crowd wit her voice and style.. You can only respect her..

[Up4Sunrise]

i think lauryn hill is the sickest female MC that has ever bin.. and she can sing wtf... mad love for her..

[pistonear]

@Up4Sunrise yes absoulutely one of the greatest, and yes the best female MC. Content, Clarity, and control. The three C's. Diamond tuff. Love and respect too you Lauren. These girls today need to study the playbook of L Boogie.

[unclet222]

@Up4Sunrise Definetely the SICKEST AND MOST NAUXIOUS

[hoodedsoulja18]

I luv this song and the story in this song is true my fellow ladies dont be fooled by stupid motherfuckers think 4 ur self

[rareunheardsound]

"hair weaves like europeans fake nails done by koreans"majority of black females look like this today...its sad-dats y I went complete natural,BREAK THE CYCLE PPL!black is BEAUTIFUL be proud of how u look NATURALLY.

[straightprodigy]

yeah but when you have natural hair, black men talk about you like a dog

[trini4eve9]

@straightprodigy WHO GIVES A FUCK WHAT OTHER PPL THINK ABOUT YOU DAMNN MAN, im sorry but u dont need to fit into society to be loved. you are so brainwashed hahaha i feel sorry for you.lol

yeah but from the beginning of childhood i can remember black men teasing me for having so called "nappy hair". People arent satisfied with you because within self nothing is discovered. Why are there so many degrees of blackness/beauty anyway. Does the way I wear my hair make me a better person?????????
