[BeReasonablePls]

Every word is eternally ingrained in my memory. Plus! God gave me the voice to sing it. This kind of joy i wish all could know.Also stop talking about Lauryn like you actually know her. Lauryn has more integrity in a nail clipping than any of you ever will.

[goldcaps11]

Hear I come Biotches

[TheCamFactor]

what was the name of the song that came out recently with the same melody and beat as this song?

[voodoochile6169]

@TheCamFactor The only one with this song was Joe like 'i wanna know ' was the title same album as 'stutter.' i've strayed away from mainstream over these years. Not too recent, but just to throw that out there.

[206EG6]

@TheCamFactor Mario Winans ft. P Diddy - I Don't Wanna Know

[angelbaddshawty]

[Curtis7414]

Lauryn Hill > Nicki Minaj

[BaxterD]

@Curtis7414 you cant compare something organic to something injected with msg.

[virainfinite]

@Curtis7414 but ofcourse -.-

[supersonicHipster]

@Curtis7414 there's no comparison what so ever. 

[DiDidelta9]

i lov this song!

[60microphonemajesty]

I envision myself sitting at the kitchen table loading bullets into a p380 to this song, not on no violent shit though.Just living in the moment of the music.Class sick.

[MultiJoana1990]

mto bom...

[The2012soon]

This song goes out to the video on my channel, enjoy it all.

This goes out to my people, be love.

[YourStinkyFamily]

TUUUUUUUNE!!

[debiaptget]

Ripoff from Enya. Without Boadicea from Enya, this song is worth nothing.

[kissthesound2011]

@debiaptget im sure they bought the rights to reproduce it... why do u think they ripped it off?

[debiaptget]

@kissthesound2011 No. They did not. She sued them. And it was settled out of court.

[kissthesound2011]

@debiaptget did she sue mario winans too?

[sofroniaful]

@debiaptget No, actually i looked it up on wikipedia and it said she was ready to sue them, but she didnt and just settled with the idea that she gets credit. and for Mario Winans, P Diddy asked Enya personally and she agreed.

[Entropy161]

@debiaptget ...Bullshit. The song would be great with or without the Enya sample.

Also, if you have such a problem with sampling in Hip-Hop music, then why did you not only search for this video, but watched the video/listened to the song, and replied to it? Fuck off with your hypocrisy....

[TruthAddict19]

who uses this sample? diddy? Is this originally enya? Idk I had to bump this in anticipation of Loko getting banned everywhere.. RIP loko.. so wrongfully accused.

[javier10tupapa]

im going through a rough time in my life right now this song is keeping me together.

[Voidspawner]

3 people have lost hearing

[LILJOKERDOTCOM]

@Voidspawner its now 5 people :(

[yndug]

The background is "Boadicea" by Enya. First found on the album "The Celts" from 1992.

[Jgurl1989]

@mj4665, i just heard it on the radio, yeah the background is from another sonfg but i wish i knew what it was too cuz i think it was really good one lol

[Mj4665]

In the background theres a certain repetitive humming. Is that the fugees creation too or did that certain tune come from another song? and if so does anyone know where from? thank you!

[freshkour]

This song is crazy

my girl pinch my hips to see if i exsist

i think not

[92diamondprincess]

DA FUGEES BEST SONG WYCLEF N PRAS DID GUD, LARYN HILL KILLD IT

[lfresh91]

[DaSandMan230]

[ItsRonnieB]

CHECK OUT MY VERSION!!PLEASE

Female rapper (19)

[spillilllyrics]

@lamazon What? I was laughing at the blind comment?? Jeez.

[lamazon]

@spillilllyrics Ahhh then ok ;)) jeezup :D

[disconnected84]

shame she's a racist whore

[spillilllyrics]

@disconnected84 do you feel really big insulting someone behind the comfort of your screen? blind to her valid points are ya? instead misinterpreted them as her being a racist. ever thought WHY she makes such points in her music?

[LILJOKERDOTCOM]

@disconnected84 who is?

[TheSupernova247]

That Lauren Hill - wow - what a talent!!! She sings like a bird and spits fire!!!!!

[dinhasferna]

sALVE,SALVE ESSE CLIPE NÃO TEM PARA NINGUÉM

[girlfonmj]

wow ! is she dead? shes good

[OverHereDear]

@girlfonmj Lauryn Hill is still alive

[Misspaparazzixx]

like it ...

[brainfreeze77]

Laurens opening line "I play my enemies like a game of chess" sounds like something you'd expect out of Tupacs mouth. Even the way she extends the word "enemies" like he does.

[greeengirraffee]

@brainfreeze77

shut the fuck up

[sawyermystick]

Happy Friday.

[CurlyNigguh]

Hey I could have sworn I've heard the tune of this song... But it was a guy rapping... I know for sure it wasn't the Fugees... Does anyone know?!! Cause I like that version too :D

[brainfreeze77]

@CurlyNigguh Lots of people have done covers of the origonal - The Origonal music in the background is actually "enya - boadicea" - The humming is actually her voice, it's a beautiful song, check it out on youtube.

Since the fugees sampled it in 1996, lots of other artists have used it for their songs, either rap or singing.

The version you are thinking of is Mario Winans and P.Diddy - I don't wanna know.

[hazeleste]

@CurlyNigguh You might be talking about Mario Winans?

[ak47killer200]

this song came in my head i don't know why i had to hear it :)

[aeroxlover1]

@ak47killer200 , maybe you heard it in a supermarket or something. you don't notice you hear it, but when you walk out you have the song in your head

[TheMaaadHater]

Lucky for us Enya sold this melody to Columbia Pictures for their 1994 film Wolf starring Jack Nicholson wherein it became the film's theme, as well as gave the Columbia Records artists The Fugees access to the sample so it could become the masterpiece we see here. Yayyyyy

[andy17ramos]

This song sound tight wen u faded!!

[ashi786786]

1 heavyyyy tuuune man love it! dont care how long this been out,will never get bored of it,listen to it aaall the tiiiime,Lauryn Hill smashz it shez wikidd

[IsobellaAme]

were you aware that the underlying tune with the humming is ACTUALLY ENYA'S SONG "Boadicea" from "The Celts" album which came out in 1992?! i bet you didnt! where is copy right i wonder...

[artdeptheather]

Thanks. looking for this great song without that heinous video!

[dogsarebetter]

i was like 2

[Danamaree1]

this song was made on my b'day! :)

[darfuran]

they were before their time

[XxPwiincez]

enya and mcihael jackson remix

[TMundo]

defecating on the microphone, that always struck me funny.

[ForwardN2Unknown]

The background tune is Boadicea by Enya! Did they ask her permission or just steal it?

[TMundo]

I'm sure they got permission considering the popularity of the song

[TheJuniorAce]

its called sampling, they have to pay her for it

[shadowXduh]

@ForwardN2Unknown

They can't just steal it because they'd be sued, wise the fuck up :]

[IsobellaAme]

i dont see them crediting her!!! its my favorite song on the "The Celts" album this is ridiculous!

[shadowXduh]

@IsobellaAme

If they BUY it they don't have to credit her, you do realise this was more than 10 years ago, they made loads from this song and it got really famous etc, do you really think enya wouldn't notice? Seriously think.

[TheDJGab]

i think i create a drum n bass remix of this^^

[TheDarkVampireGirl]

nice

[c921234]

Very ordinary effort as a follow up to the Killing Me Softly cover highlights how overrated this band is. You would get better lyrical craftmanship if you asked a class of grade 2 students to write some lyrics.

[athonyavendano]

c921234 are you fuckin stupid??

[c921234]

Sorry for the offence, I didn't realise you were one of their writers. You should have taken some more inspiration from the lyrical poet Vanilla Ice and what he did with Ice Ice Baby. Coolio was the same era as well - at least he had enough talent not to resort to covers.

[athonyavendano]

wtf!!! you like vanilla ice but you dont look the fugees lol..

[TheMaaadHater]

This is obviously an attempt at irony considering this song is barely a cover and both artists you mentioned sampled and covered songs. Coolio's "Gangster's Paradise" being a quasi cover of Stevie Wonder's "Past Time Paradise" and Vanilla Ice's "Ice Ice Baby" which sampled Queen's "Under Pressure" and the lyrics where taken from the film "School Daze" written and directed by Spike Lee in 1987 three years before the song's release (available on Crackle). Also the Album "The Score" is a classic.

[VibeBabe]

Let's see you do better.

[Elisabethcar]

Or Francesco Zeta - Fairyland
