This was probably the most underrated record of The Fugees. L Boogie is definitely one of the female goats, but as a group, this was their most underrated track that should've had a bigger buzz than it did at the time.
The Fugees really worked well together and collectively are a supergroup. Only if they had hung as a unit can we imagine the status they would have been on (Combining all their individual accomplishments into The Fugees).
her verse on the original version was even greater : "Emancipate your mind. Don't set the limit. Reach the summit. Free your spirit 'cause your blunted From the lyrics I just stuttered."
Within seconds, you can see how she influenced so many after her. Kirk Franklin later sampled this song. She is absolutely one of the greatest female singers and MC’s as well as one of my favorite. Happy 48th Birthday to Ms. Lauryn Hill! ❤🥳🎉🎊5/26/2023
+Kevin Diyoka Honestly, with all due respect to Pras and his historical influence on the medium, culture, and all that, IMHO he's the weakest link in the Fugees by a HUGE margin.
It's all about the connection the three of them had. It was always difficult for clef and pras to keep up with Lauren lyrically. She being one of the top three rappers of all time. Clef's musical genius helped a lot with his rap. Greatest hiphop group.
Lol one of the top three rappers of all time you stupid or what. The top emcees are the ones who influenced everyone who came after 1988. Rakim, KRS-One and Kool G Rap. You're straight up ignorant if you think she is better than any of those MCs. She is decent but not even close to being a top MC
You can put into words the way you feel about our beautiful Lauren Hill!!!What is stopping you???Tell the world your unconditional love for a special person who has given you a special gift from heaven!!!As a matter of fact I will be doing the same thing as I have said to you to do because I know how special LAUREN HILL IS AND WILL ALWAYS BE US CHISEN ONES(HER CHILDREN)!!!Also remember that Lauren told the world that if she ever makes music again that it would only be for her (children)and I proudly call myself her son and she my MOTHER just as in this day and forever and “IN THE YEAR OF OUR LORD”Two ThousandTwenty and Three (2023)…There’s Only so many people who will get to know who the REAL Lauren Hill is and why she is the way that she is…I hope and I pray that all of mankind come to the wisdom/knowledge of our Lord and savior that was given to all humanity from the lord almighty and that beautiful personality is The One And only Ms.Lauren Noel Hill (which means VICTORY OF WISDOM).. I pray also that EVERYONE who is blessed to hear her music,that they can understand and also interpret the message that is being spoken by her mighty wisdom that only a TRUE KING of the people could speak and only the few faithful that are called (and YOUR NAME will be called as CLEAR AS DAY)will know the truth that has been hidden since the beginning of the CREATION…I myself liken Ms.Lauren Hill to the mighty King Solomon for her vast amounts of wisdom/knowledge and she is the ONLY RELEVANT MUSIC TO DATE that has Inspiration and Biblical Truths in her rhymes/music/poetry for Gods chosen Ones..She is a Mother to the few that cherish her words and those who keep her commandments close to heart!!!!There will probably never ever again be a special person like her that has been so humble and gracious as she has been,considering the backlashes from the media and personal digs that are “EVIL in NATURE” and with all that she managed to be the most sincere/talented/gifted person that the world will ever get to experience!!!!So we should KNOW WHAT WE HAVE HEAR WITHOUT A DOUBT AS BEING CHILDREN OF GOD!!!I KNOW for a FACT who she is and I hope you get the chance to know for yourself…God bless you all-Love Godson Franky

They all did their thing but I got massive respect for Lauryn Hill aka L Boogie, her words be a whole lot deeper and educative than most. I stay fully, loyal to L Boogie, the phenomenon Icon.

ohen people who cant take a joke smh. I'm not 15 but damn I'm offended for those with obviously good taste(it is fugees video after all not nikki sweetie). If you wanted a real controversy post this under a nikki video, close minded entitled old bitch.
Who’s still listening to fugees like me in 2024?

Same here!
Same as me brother 😅

Yo también amigo.
Nobody has ever had as much swagger as Lauryn had on the first verse of this song and no one ever will.
Nobody

Facts
best female rapper in history
This is real hip hop, no blinging, no bullshit videos, no weak ass beat, and no gimmicks. This is when music was still on sum real shit.
Totally agree pure talent, ❤️❤️❤️❤️ it
It's crazy how many people come back to it every day...this song is a masterpiece!
Psalms 139
Facts
Wyclef's verse should be put in the Hip Hop Museums. It's monumental.
He said hecka stuff
@@TheJofrica back in the day I used to listen to kool g rap
@@sambanelly25 Yeah great verse agreed 👍
@@TheJofrica 💯🔥🔥
Back when Wyclef was a dope emcee!! What happened to him?
Lauren Hill's style was mad dope. From her clothes to her rhymes. Everything was on point 100%. Damn!
Lauryn*
Ziggy is a lucky man, how many kids have they had now? LOL.
She is a talent 💥
And she was just a kid?
Female MCS ain't the same no more that's cuz they're created by satanic industry now
Lauryn is just perfect, vocally and physically. Natural beauty
❤I agree with you 100% sister✌️
❤
Facts, I always said that she is the most beautiful woman I've ever seen. She's just gorgeous, and her vibe just makes her glow evenmoreso.
2021 somebody ? alguém ?
Esta mierda es eterna 🥲
À pergunta seria, quem não está aqui em 2021 ahah
Eu
Ukraine in place
Lauryn was ridiculous on the opening. I’ve replayed her verse so many times. Incredible lyricist.
Epic!!!
I love The Fugees, never gets old
Lauren hill was beautiful, cool, talented, confident and stylish!! Loved loved loved her!! And she still beautiful
Amber Nikole yup! she's still talented, cool and stylish. even more i would say...
Lol I had like 3 posters on my wall of her in the 90s.
I heard one time that she has such a bad personality when she acts in movies
❤️🇵🇱☀️
She had beauty with brains .
pay attention kids, this is hiphop!
Not one mention or use of flashy cars, chains, liquor, women scantily clad, flash of money, or profanity. No rented out mansions, strip clubs, cars, or high end designers.
Oh and I can understand every word spoken.
I agree! One of the best Hiphop groups ever! A real legend!
But I don't understand.... where the cars at? The bikini's and the mansion's? It doesn't even have autotune... I don't know what this is. This ain't hip-hop.
@@pindajung this is more hiphop then you can ever comprehend, hiphop came forth from reggae artists like u-ray or big youth. conscience music
@@michielvdvlies3315 I was being sarcastic.
wyclef had three flows in one verse.

Truth!
Lauren had 100

He's a genius.
Why nobody notice how Wyclef charismatic rapper is?! 👏😏
Clef in my top 3.
Because he's not?
The bro did a solo carreer tho
@@RickR69You're white, your opinion doesn't count.
Damn the Fugees music never gets old!!! Lauryn Hill is the best female rapper of all times!!!🤗❤
This was probably the most underrated record of The Fugees. L Boogie is definitely one of the female goats, but as a group, this was their most underrated track that should've had a bigger buzz than it did at the time.
The Fugees really worked well together and collectively are a supergroup. Only if they had hung as a unit can we imagine the status they would have been on (Combining all their individual accomplishments into The Fugees).
her verse on the original version was even greater :
"Emancipate your mind.
Don't set the limit. Reach the summit.
Free your spirit 'cause your blunted
From the lyrics I just stuttered."
true.. i have to say that is better.. i forgot this video didn't have the original version..
Maybe. But I like the music to this video better.
She murders that album version, feelin’ that one just a little more than this one
Within seconds, you can see how she influenced so many after her. Kirk Franklin later sampled this song. She is absolutely one of the greatest female singers and MC’s as well as one of my favorite. Happy 48th Birthday to Ms. Lauryn Hill! ❤🥳🎉🎊5/26/2023
Back when rappers had the freedom to be different a very special era never to be seen again😢

THE BEST INTRO IN HISTORY !!!
Yo, this is the Fugees
Refugees
About to take you on a journey
Into the dimensions of the Booka basement
The basement, word
Hey yo, one two three! The crew is called Re-Fu-Ge-ee-es
An if you come fa tes the rap style
Stop the violence and just bring it on, wild
Hey yo I, feel kind of melancholy people think they really know me
I keep a wrap about me while I'm driving daddy's Audi
I pay the toll fighting for my own soul
Cause the bourgeois type of mental sucks like a flat comb
But I be baiting the rebel base to bass distort the EQ
The devil's wishing they could send me back to Mogadishu
Cause I've been wild since I was a juvenile
Afro-centric profile, back when righteous rap was your style
Now kids are whyling so I ask the bad black
Boogie bandit, what's the damage, gimme the estimate then
Pray tell me when's the revolution will begin?
I turn on my TV I check out Farrakhan on CNN see
I'm like the phantom that's flying like the bird do
And things you never heard plus I come from the suburbs
Word to God, I heard you're acting kind of hard
And you got your skin scarred when they was shooting on the boulevard
I got the vocab
(On the real got the vocab) You know we got the vocab
(All my peeps got the vocab) Yeah, we got the vocab
Hey yo Praz, grab the mic and show you got the gift of gab
Then cast off from here to Mexico
You see my four-five-six a-be my Celo
And when I rest my head is on a pillow
You see the skills I manifest is very tho-rough
And if you don't believe me ask Freres Ja-cques
Freres Jacques, Freres Jacques
A dorme vous? A dorme vous?
Watch out now! When I choose to speak
I'm forming the cipher fly East to the Five Percenter
Knowledge is born, to all beginners
Cast the first stone, if you feel you ain't a sinner,
Say o-you're father, who art in heaven
Forgive the foolish rapper for he not know how Fugee be stepping
Correct and, stopped and kept in, 'nough respect to the
DJ, that be selecting, the type of record
I got the vocab
(On the real got the vocab) You know we got the vocab
(All my peeps got the vocab) Yeah, we got the vocab
Hey yo Clef grab the mic and show you got the gift of gab
Check it out, here we go
Back in Eighty-tree, no one wanted to be nappy!
I turn on my TV, it's a dreadlock for free!
Kill the gimmick
It's nonsense, it's no sense or value
A rapper, disaster, nobody ever told me that
"Roxanne, you don't got to work for money no more!" and
Back in the days I used to listen to cool G Rap
Way back when before guns became gats and
Run-D.M.C. used to ask Mary was she bugging?
I loved P.E., they kept me conscious of what I was saying
Afrika Bambaata, Poor Righteous Teacher
Got within myself so it made me a Five Percenter
Say La-Di-Da-Di, UHH! we like to party but
My jam was BDP, with My Philosophy
Say Grandmaster Flash, MC Melle Mel
Then LL Cool J came with Rock the Bells!
See I'm the one for the crew, like a Jew is a Jew
Like Apollo got the moon, like the men who got the blue
Like the Fu got the Manchu, Chaka got the Zulu
Hawaii got the Honolulu
I got the rap lieu, so skippedy-de-bop-bop you don't stop
You do the rock-rock from hip-hop through be-bop
From be-bop to bee-bee

Lauryn is perfection 💜💜💜
Last dude went hard. Nigga has like 3 unique flows and he rapped them all smoothly.
Prolific Pops last dude😂
+john deans Yeaaah...found out his name is Wyclef 😅
Prolific Pops he is amazing, I love his song on biggie duets, 911. original is decent too
check his solo albums. actually check out all of their solo albums. so much talent
Been playing over and over past few days, no nonsense. I grew up listening to the Fugees, loved listening to them then, still listening🙏🙂💖
Great music never goes outta style ☺️💜💜💜
Same!!! Playing continuous in my car
Song ends at 1:24 not trying to disrespect tge fugees but lauryn hill is lauryn hill
No one can top this conscious sister lyrical queen she was the diamond in the rough of the fugees
Anos 90 era phoda, eu era feliz e não sabia!
A coisa piorou mais ainda mano kkk
Cada vez pior
Lauryn-more talent in her pinky than Nicki Minaj has in her entire plastically- altered body

You must be 15 years old. Go back and listen to some real hip hop from the 80s and 90s. Drake, Future and Nicki are minor leaguers.
ohen people who cant take a joke smh. I'm not 15 but damn I'm offended for those with obviously good taste(it is fugees video after all not nikki sweetie). If you wanted a real controversy post this under a nikki video, close minded entitled old bitch.
ohen facts
the lady of rage way better mc #1 for me.
When I fell in love wit the Fugees before the classic Score
