Lauryn Hill on Chappelle's Block Party - Killing Me Softly With His Song

[Lyvetacus]

Does Lauryn Say "No" to Pras at 2:49? Can anyone make this out?

[sweetaliena]

GOD I miss the Fugees!!!!!! FUGEES FOR ETERNITY!

[bijoux13]

lol "that's where I've been"

[racl101]

Whatever happened to her? She was a hot piece of @ss on TV. She still sing?

[aliciabiatch]

it's effortless!

[lyricalbattle]

This verison is amazing but its not loud enough...when i watch the block party. it was louder and better

[zillerLCBO]

Ahh man emperor ive seen this one on the block party movie ...Its just the quality of the upload ...This is prob the best shes ever sounded in my opinion ..You just need to find a better source for the vid

[plushpuppy32]

This is now my favorite version of this song

[rosita101]

How can i get this on my Ipod ?

[Emperror1]

tho she is amazing overall...she sounds kinda weak in this one...what happened to her voice?:(

[seeingreen]

are you kidding me. she is naturally blessed..and you can hear it in her voice. just open your ears. I mean you no disrespect...but seriously?

[bowyourhead1]

volume = ridiculously low...

[mrhopey]

SHE'S THE BEST!!!

[shurednichso]

Indeed bro' . Cant find someone ,which is better.

[bubbachux]

greatest! - thanks for the video

[Jigsaw10011]

I <3 LAURYN

[THISUTUBESUCKS]

At the height of Lauryns career, despite all the fame and fortune, she gave it all away. Why? To raise her child.

Sure, Alicia and Maria and so many others are spectacular, but what makes Lauryn so special to me is that she never seemed to waiver in her convictions in a business that's all about sellin out. This is who I am, and I wont waver in that.

Much respect Lauryn, we love you for that.

[loveLauryn]

I miss her, I can never forget her. I wish she would come back, as whoever she wants to be! Call me crazy, but every one of us is a gift to the world in his/her own way, and I feel like I see why she is a gift!

[jkl0031]

I hate when performers, especially black performers, get on stage and feel they have to yell the lyrics to their sons. When Hill sings live it's beautiful. This was...I couldn't listen to the whole thing without my ears bleeding.

[sistagirl1234]

then dont listen

[jkl0031]

Dumb fuck, I'm not listening.

[sistagirl1234]

But you obviously did because you felt the need to make such an idiotic comment! Oh and by the way cursing people out denotes how ignorant and childish you are

[jkl0031]

1. Go fuck yourself.

2. No, really. Go fuck yourself.

3. Profanity has nothing to do with the validity of my comment. If this was the first time I heard Hill I would think that she can't sing. However, I know better because I've heard her kill this song multiple times. I'm sorry that you don't have discriminating ears to be able to hear how bad this is. It's all over the place, her voice is weak, and it's just a bad performance in general. Great performer, horrible performance.

[sistagirl1234]

answers to your silly post:

1. NO

2. An again... no

3. yes it does actually.. people reading your posts will only remember the pofanity and not the content of your argument. I didnt curse at you but you chose to respond in an arrogant and ignorant manner.. way to go, you do yourselg proud..you made an ignorant blanket statement regarding black singers. M y answer was , dont listen then

[jkl0031]

cute...

I don't listen for the most part. I gave up on R&B in the 90's, due in large part to inferior vocalists with no control.

For the record, no matter how many times you say no, the offer is always open for you to go fuck yourself.

[sistagirl1234]

Oh by saying that you really think I take you seriously? Saying "Go F*ck yourself" over and over again makes anything you say mute...its tedious and its unimaginative. You put forth your reasons for slating a certain genre of music ( and black artists)and then spoil it by attacking a complete stranger.. ahhh never mind maybe you cant help yourself eh?

[jkl0031]

You think I care how seriously some jackoff on You Tube takes me? Get over yourself.

I never said I had anything against black artists and I was more commenting on live performances by R&B artists. As for Hill, there's a 2002 MTV Unplugged performance by her that is brilliant. The Block Party performance his horrid.

As awesome as it is for you to continue to attack an argument I'm not making, you might want to address what I actually say. Dumb fuck...couldn't help myself.

[sistagirl1234]

Shhhush you are beginning to rant now.. Go lie down and gain some composure!

[jkl0031]

If I go lie down will you get over yourself?

[sistagirl1234]

I don't have the "anger" issues, you actually do.., you need therapy the cursing and insulting of people that you do makes no sense

[jkl0031]

I'm not angry. I'll tell you to go fuck yourself with a smile all day, every day. I can see that you aren't going to get over yourself in the near future and I have shit to do some I'm done with you.

[sistagirl1234]

You're not angry.. er whatever.1 I suspect you were "born" angry.. and I know you wont be able to help yourself but answer this.. doesnt bother me either way.. your retardation precedes you.. Its quite funny actually how you deal with criticism

[jkl0031]

You are so unbelievably stupid. You have not commented on, addressed, or criticized a single statement I've made but have, instead, attempted to make a commentary on what you belive my manner to be. You're rediculous. My offer for you to get over yourself remains open, as does my offer for you to go fuck yourself.

[sistagirl1234]

AHEM.. If you look at your posts I believe the stupidity gene is within your psyche. I refuse to pick apart your desperate attempts at an "argument" That stopped when you used all that foolish profanity.. knew you couldnt resist answering back.. eventhough you said you were "done with me"..you repeat your rubbish and your argument was dead in the water ages ago!.. My dear you are as thick as thick custard"

[LordEn7roPy]

dont give up on it... check out

Tank

Musiq sould child

Joe

Their still hot!

[jkl0031]

I don't like Tank or Joe. Musiq has a great voice but either is a horrible songwriter or sings horribly written songs.

I like John Legend. What would you consider him to be?

[LordEn7roPy]

Daim!

i dont know if you can really put John in the catagory of RnB but i definitely agree that he's a talent and has an intriguing voice... i realise that dosent answer your question but hey we both like him...

listen to a song called Mary go round by music and i promis you'll start to appreciate his music more, that song in my favorite of his.

Tank a killer i just love the quality of his voice and this goes for all RnB i dont really care what they sing about rather i prefer to hear

[jkl0031]

That is a good song by Musiq.

Up until about 14 I listened primarily to R&B and rap. I think the only rapper I still listen to now is Mos Def. To me R&B as a genre never evolved. I can't ignore lyrics anymore, which is one of the reasons I like Legend and Mos Def.

[LordEn7roPy]

i dont even listen to rap anymore... only old ish.

i know it's ignorant but i dont care, as a dancer the beat get's into my feat and then my heart and then if it comes around i might take in the lyrics.

i love old Busta Rhymes, The high and the mighty (Mr. Eon rocks!), Pharoahe Monch...

[LordEn7roPy]

beautiful sounds that no other genre produces...

i do know what you mean about RnB... now anyway. i've recently had to go out and get some old cd's like Jodeci cos i'm sick of this Bull ish!

PeaCe

[Swagster407]

[loopy77]

Sorry to disappoint. But, this is footage from "Dave Chappelle's Block Party", filmed in 2005, i believe. It's a great video--and good music. 

Buy it, rent it, or borrow it from the library--you won't be disappointed if you like hip-hop.

[Bobbi1283]

WOW!!!! She is just amazing!

[RtothaO]

[DMAC2000WS]

l boogie is a supernova she is the star that blew up because she grew tooo bright and we are just seeing her shine even though she blew ages ago, i have watched daves block [arty a hundred times only to rewind and rewind and rewind again this part, i am awe struck at laurens i dont care i am all woman persona, she stepped out the spotlight fell in love got dogged by a man made a 4xplatinum album then disappeared to sing this good on a reunion, man what if she never left

[opaque89]

8X platinum album and thats only in the US. 16X including world wide. Her unplugged album also went platinum.

[B816King]

[PJS192]

Man, The Fugees are legendary.

It's a shame music like this isn't made anymore.
