  • In an interview with Pras from the group The Fugees, he talked with us about the group being sued by Enya for using her sample, the problems the Fugees began having during their time as a team, and Wyclef and Lauryn Hill's relationship issues.
    At the beginning of the interview, Pras let us know that Enya demanded they take her copyright off their album, but they couldn't. Enya settled for 3 million dollars from the group, but Pras let us know it was his idea to use the sample. "She lived in Ireland, so I said, 'Yo, this album gonna blow up, but no one's gonna hear this shit in Ireland,' the sh*t went number one in Ireland."
    Pras also let us know the group began to have problems towards the peak of their career. When asked about Wyclef and Lauryn Hill's relationship Pras was reluctant to talk. "Man, I was counting my money man, to be honest with you." We also asked Pras about the book Wyclef wrote saying that Lauryn Hill became pregnant. "My goal at that time was from this point till I die, I never have a need or a worry. So all this other sh*t is for the birds." After more questions, Pras began to let us know he tried to take the neutral route. "You gotta remember Wyclef is my boy at that time, were like brothers, and Lauryn is my girl because I went and got her from her mom's house when she was only 12, 13 years old. So this is my man, this is like my sister, they got whatever going at the time... So what side do you jump on..?" He also made sure to prepare in case the group went down due to the relationship between the two. Pras said that the group's break-up was inevitable, and he tried to keep the group together but that, "Ego is a motherf**ker."

      True. He never wanted to be THAT guy who looked back in hindsight and regretted shit. I think this is a sign of a humble upbringing which gave him a strong sense of self and resilience. He does not come from an emotionally charged perspective. Very concise, calculated, sober and present in the moment. He takes NOTHING for granted and is very conscientious. I am the total opposite, that's why I respect his approach on a business level.

      @t3b0g0 7 років тому +8

      +EclecticFlavor. Ok here's my theory. Our 20s are the most valuable period in our lives. If you don't pop (not necessarily famous) doing something you love, 9/10 you'll be an regular individual tryna make due for the rest of your life. But if your hustle pays off in whatever you do (professionally or informally) while in your 20s, it changes your thinking. You become more driven and focused because you start building confidence and your skill set from then on. So by the time you are in your 30s, you are coasting, probably already established your own business network and you are therefore more likely to thrive and flourish.
      I say this because Pras acknowledged it in the interview. These so-called "stars" are not necessarily the best there is out there. Circumstances beyond/within our control influence the trajectory of our hustle in a lifetime. I think I drew most of my emotional instability during my late 20s when I was unsure of where to focus my energy and so my insecurities festered. I had a stable and lucrative job but I resigned to start afresh and find myself because I wasn't HAPPY. Now I feel like I'm 20 but I'm 30. Starting all over again. Daunting but very empowering and liberating.

    When The Fugees came out, everybody made it about Wyclef and Lauryn.
    Pras was considered the 3rd wheel, so I can see him just sittin back in the cut, counting his money, while they get all the shine.
    He seemed to have made it out with his soul intact and some good pocket change.
    Good for you bruh. 🙏🏽

    Pras' mindset is "If you're going to find out, ye'en finding out from me."

    Vlad messed up big time at the end talking about their solo albums and praising Wyclef and lauryn hill's album but not saying anything about Pras solo album. lol!

      Yeah, what a nasty thing to do. I thought Pras' album was great.

      I don't think he thought about it. In real time you're speaking your mind but thats when keeping it real goes wrong. lol! Pras did have that hit record though. lol!

      But you know vlad probably did talk about it..he might just be saving that part of the interview like he always does

      I doubt it. lol! I didn't even buy or ever heard pras album. I just love "ghetto superstar" which was a great song and hit record. Him in the fugees though and I can listen to him all day long. I honestly think vlads hip hop taste just took its course like anybody else and forgot about being an interviewer and in real time the perception it gives off when you never mention the interviewee's album. Its just something I noticed.

      Yeah, that was kind of a punk ass move, seeing how Pras is the only "Fugee" giving him any play; at least, so far.

    The Score is by far one of my favourite albums of all time. It was the soundtrack to my teens and brings back incredible memories every time i listen to it.
