@@lukasblur3500 Sorry but that information is incorrect. Where have you been that made big news that she did not give credit to the proper writers and producers that worked on the album. She didn't do it all by herself. I've had discussions with people in the industry about it.
Not too many lyricist out there and if they are lyricist, they are being over shadowed by these candy rappers. What happened to telling a story? All you hear about now is sex, how much money they got, and how many chicks or men they pull. When you've heard one, you've heard all.
Please do. These rappers, I mean candy rappers could learn a thing or two from Lauryn, Common, Wu Tang, Nas, Mc Lyte, Queen Latifah, Taliban Kwalie, Royce Da 5'9. I can go on and on. I just named a few.
If aliens were to come and ask who do we have that could represent the physical beauty of humanity. We can show them this video. She is extremely beautiful.
Am I the only one who considers Lauryn Hill as one of the best singers ever? I mean, she can rap, sing gospel, reggae, soul. She can sing like an angel and suddenly use her hoarse voice with that nasty accent: she gives me goosebumps. She's also beautiful but she never used her beauty to hide some default.
I heard her sing when she came to my country with The Fugees back in the day, honestly no one has ever made me feel the way she did when she sang. Her rapping flow, lyrical prowess gets mentioned a lot but her incredible singing is overlooked too often I think. She is flawless in her execution, roaming all over the stage pitch perfect and her tone, her unique sound is just so fucking stunning!
Ironic how I was vibing to Lauren today and saw you in the comment section lol, most definently the GOAT femcee and the most beautiful women artist I ever seen my life , she's so pure and I'm not trying to sound like a old head but this type of music won't be reincarnated ever , this one of a kind only one who will come close to this is Tink
***** u assume I dont know about Eve because we don't agree. I'm from philly just like her too aint that funny, so u think I wouldn't know nothing bout Eve? Fuck outta here
I’m not discrediting that this is an awesome video and she rocked it. …but it isn’t hard to dance/stand at 6 months pregnant. Lol I’m sure she was tired though. Videos take forever to finish.
Sarah Gonzales yeah as much as I love Eminem & Kanye they cannot sing like at all but they don't really sing that much anyway. Lauryn can sing really well and rap really well. I still don't think no one was ever able to do that that made it big. Drakes the closest but he's average for both rapping and singing. I personality don't think Nicki can sing but everyone has their opinions I guess
Lauryn Hill is underated the industry never gave her the respect she deserves because she was exposing and telling real truth about the media and the world.
@@Ibrahim-dj5hu he refers to the story, nobody knows her right now and it is not because she is underground, she is unknown because it was not convenient for her to be an icon
"the industry never gave her the respect she deserves" Bro, they gave her 8 grammies. Queen, Hendrix, Joplin, Bob Marley, The Ramones, The Who, Tupac, Snoop, The Doors, Nas, Biggie, Grateful Dead have none.
Underrated in what sense? She was the youngest, first female and BLACK female at that, to win the most grammy’s in one night. She flipped and exposed the industry because they couldn’t keep up with her perspectives. Current or not, she’s still at the top of the list for many.. people will never forget a true artist. She knows she doesn’t have to be currently current but her messages will always find their way
It's crazy because I didn't care for the song much when it came out. I was accustomed to most songs having some kind of message (Im from the 80's and 90's). Hearing this 20+ years later hits different. Like damn her message is loud AF here in the future.
@K.B.Williams The message of the song still applies to a lot of people today it's crazy how insightful she was when she wrote this even though she was still so young.
Jesus Christ wants a personal relationship with you through the Holy Spirit, not religion and blind faith. You see, we all have sinned, and have broken God’s law (The Ten Commandments). Wrong doing deserves justice and must be punished (just like how a criminal has to pay for the crime they have committed) but God saved us from the eternal punishment of our sins by sending His Son Jesus Christ, fullness of God in flesh, a perfect, sinless sacrifice to pay the penalty for our sins by dying on the cross and resurrecting, so that we may have everlasting life. It is all finished and now for you to accept the free gift of grace, you must repent of your sins and put your faith in Jesus Christ and Bible says that His Blood will cover all of your sins, you will be forgiven, saved from eternal punishment, and be given everlasting life. By faith you will receive the Holy Spirit, become born again, know Jesus personally and He will transform your heart and clean you from the inside out. Turn away from sin, read the Bible, pray for the Holy Spirit to fill you and change you, obey the Word. Much love and God bless you!

They think the less I wear the more it will help my status and self esteem and empower me.. No my friend on the contrary you lose respect and it will not do anything with empowering you as matter of fact the older you get the more depressed you become.
Dear Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner, and I ask for Your forgiveness. I believe You died for my sins and rose from the dead. I turn from my sins and invite You to come into my heart and life. I want to trust and follow You as my Lord and Savior. In Your Name. Amen.
This song taught me self-respect, self-love, worth and value at 5 years old and it hasn’t left. I’m 25 now and when I have a daughter I plan to introduce her to Lauryn’s music in the womb. I love this woman. I want to thank her in person one day. She also was so very unapologetic in her melanin which really spoke to me without me knowing. 🥰
You should 100% introduce ur future baby to ms lauryn hill !! She is a wonder . And u should also ALWAYS unapologetically be u, and ALWAYS unapologetically be proud of ur melanin and who u are . 🤍
classic. I remember when this came out in 98 I was 7. This was on radio everyday for weeks and my mother brought the album the same day it came out. r.i.p mommy😍😘😢 I'm here cause of you. man I miss lauryn
When female emcees were in the forefront with a positive message....can we say the same for this era??? Is the radio safe and healthy for young girls to listen to anymore???
It isn't healthy for young boys too. Eminen raps about raping his own mother, hitting and raping women etc. Male rappers rap about pussy, and other unimportant things. So yeah I think today's hip-hop even though it may sound nice sometimes, it isn't that healthy for both young girls and boys.
Seb Serrano Well since the white man wanna take our culture OUR MUSIC! And make it their own and make it seem like it was all they work we need to acknowledge our black music and let them know wassup!
See this is real beauty..they didnt have to get half naked to get views....they promoted independence, inner beauty, black beauty and self confidence..but the media doesnt like to see us in power so what did they do? Replace us with half naked narcissistic Sasha fierces', man-stealing dominatrix Nicki minajs...with lighter bleached skin and blonde hair....smh
Lauryn was that woke chick! Damn! Every lyric she spit was truth goodness! And I love her Tammi Terrell look from the 1960's she's truly a beauty, natural and made up.
Candace Michelle all ISRAELITE sisters are beautful in the natural, its just that most do not believe in themselves enough to go natural, and think that weaves and wearing underwear out in the streets is what makes them beautiful.
One of the best songs of all time, both musically and lyrically! "Don't be a hard rock when you really are a gem. Baby girl, respect is just a minimum" and "The punk domestic violence men, money taking, heart breaking men, and you wonder why women hate men. How you gonna win when you ain't right within?" Love it because it's all said from a place of wanting both women and men to get right and respect themselves and each other

23 years later* It only got put on TH-cam 11 years ago. Crazy, right? That _one line_ holds so much weight even today! This song is a legitimate *CLASSIC!!!*
I LOVE this woman!! It is so pathetic/saddening to see her going through all this court BS! It was about her song #IGetOut ..at least that contributed to "THEM" trying to ruin her! :-( She spoke way back in 1999 (I believe) to a group of hs/ or college students. Have you seen it? She is so impowering/inspiring!
Alisha Robertson she is overrated, her bars are mediocre at best, her rhyme is basic, her lyrics doesn’t even carry a message, and have you checked out her album, it received bad reviews.
Cali Prynce Jesus wasn't white for one.☝. for two. he died for our sins. we are undergrace. he said abolished the law so ALL foods are good. 3rd off do your research and actually read the Bible before you judge Christains or anyone for that matter.
Meeee! I am! I forgot how AWESOME this whole album was. She was truly epic. Talented, didn't mince words, beautiful. This still sounds so fresh and good.
What happened to her. Why did she go crazy and fall off? She's like a weed hermit now right? How old is she even. I cant imagine the drugs have been kind to her skin.
@@elsiem7295 Ummm thank you, next. What happened to her. Why did she go crazy and fall off? She's like a weed hermit now right? How old is she even. I cant imagine the drugs have been kind to her skin.
InnerRise she didn’t go “crazy”, she had ALOT of personal shit going on and needed to take a step back. Saying she went crazy is dismissive of the issues she was trying to deal with.
HIS TRUE NAME why do you feel the need to correct him? she still looks good, some women happen to age well especially women who have skin that can absorb the sun without burning.
takitezy7 she did sell out like many other celebrities,sony gave lauryn hills a second chance to have a comeback with her music career,it was three million record deal but she refused because the elites wiil control her and had to do santanic rituals and many other sick things like having sex with the same sex,beastislity etc .if she wants to become big,thats how the music industry works. You sell your soul to the devel for fame and fortune ,you have to denounce jesus as your savior and salvation and died for man kind from sin.lauryn hill sings song about how the industry oppressed her from fully expressing herself musicaly and how she wants to break out the industry which is such evil,shes been fighting with the elites for years csuss she want follow them and their evil agenda to the masses so she can deceive people through people copying her ,people not studying the scriptures of god and more.the person save her and take her out of this sick and twisted music industry is Jesus Christ.they say becareful what you dream of because it will turn into your worst nightmare.I pray for those who bonded themselves to the devil so they can find salvation snd peace
It's the fact that the video been out for 25 years and nobody noticed the banner on the right side, at 0:26, displayed "33rd annunal block party" but the years between 1967 and 1998 is 31 years, for me. 😂
I wish black people could see how people were proud of their skin colour,afro and black culture and stop Skin bleaching and feeling ashamed of their skin colour cause we beautiful we don't even need to be told.
This video reflects how the same warning and advice that was needed in the 1960s was still needed in the 1990s and is STILL needed now in the 2020s. THIS is the epitome of a timeless classic!

I think people interpret differently but a hard rock is tough, rough, perhaps even ugly (both inside and out) due to the environment it is subjected to. But a gem is often concealed beneath, and can be so much more. A diamond, for example: beautiful, brilliant, precious, and the hardest naturally occurring substance on earth. Be tough AND precious, recognize and own your incredible (self) worth! That's how I take it :)
Just my opinion so sit yo ass down. But to me Lauryn Hill was one of the best lyricists out there. I'm talking female and male rappers. She had bars for dayzzz!!! Shes a legend, you cannot compare her to rappers these days. I wish she made more music. Gosh I miss this era of rap and r&b!
hahah yes, fat ass bitches nicky minaj and iggy azalea are fake whores, and not have talent, only bitches with bad rapping. lauryn is the real queen of rap not the crap artists on today. 👍
+InBrooken yes they not like her 👆but that does not mean tbey whores and that does not mean that thay cant rap lauryn is old and is gone its all good to listern but to call nicki and iggy whoers is too much

Lauryn Hill is a lyricist. There is a big difference between a rapper and lyricist. Anybody can be a rapper. Not everyone can be a lyricist.
That's what I been saying!
Not too many lyricist out there and if they are lyricist, they are being over shadowed by these candy rappers. What happened to telling a story? All you hear about now is sex, how much money they got, and how many chicks or men they pull. When you've heard one, you've heard all.

Love her
“How you goin win when you ain't right within."
These lyrics couldn't be more true.
Relationship?
What does she mean by that
Basically someone that is trying to change your outward appearance but not your inner self.
Or basically saying if you want change in your life, you need the change the way you act within
what does it mean though? For non native english speakers this does not make much sense.
oh nvm it was answered alreayd =)

I’m 24 going on 25 and I’ve been playing her music for my belly 🥰
❤
You should 100% introduce ur future baby to ms lauryn hill !! She is a wonder . And u should also ALWAYS unapologetically be u, and ALWAYS unapologetically be proud of ur melanin and who u are . 🤍
Bruh it’s not even 20 years old
classic. I remember when this came out in 98 I was 7.
This was on radio everyday for weeks and my mother brought the album the same day it came out. r.i.p mommy😍😘😢 I'm here cause of you.
man I miss lauryn
Big ups to mom... rip
u r young
yasmine lewis just turned 25. Yeah
jonathan cromartie i could be your mom hahaha
yasmine lewis how old are u🤔
When female emcees were in the forefront with a positive message....can we say the same for this era??? Is the radio safe and healthy for young girls to listen to anymore???
I don't think the mainstream radio is good for anyone.
No we can't say the same about this era! Radio is horrible! (Even Sirius/XM sometimes and I PAY for that!)
The whole music industry is Dangerous!!!! It was just better hidden from us back then.
It isn't healthy for young boys too. Eminen raps about raping his own mother, hitting and raping women etc. Male rappers rap about pussy, and other unimportant things. So yeah I think today's hip-hop even though it may sound nice sometimes, it isn't that healthy for both young girls and boys.
who cares ????
JULY 2024 ..... YEAH WE STILL HERE 💯💯
FACTS
Wow , just wow this music speaks volumes from the 90s till today , now this is a queen
Joseph Archibong she needs to do a 1990s vs 2010s that would be interesting.
Lechiffresix six hell yeah it would so we can see how far we've fallen
So true
Brandon Beverly bigger rohan you know tolkien?
pinco pallino but your wife is all head or all legs ?
No matter what it is, Lauryn Hill will forever go down in history with one of the best albums ever in music. The '90s were truly a great time.
Kevin Yeoh the 90’s where quite inspirational except the rapist we had in the White House at that time.
+Young Rio she doesn't compare to Lauryn at all though
Young Rio charts don't define how good music is
dawee59 wellll, it does show that song had more sales. typically, popular songs sell. cardi's music resonates with the masses
Yep
Black music at it's finest
Yalander Baltimore how you gon win if you ain't right within?

Seb Serrano Well since the white man wanna take our culture OUR MUSIC! And make it their own and make it seem like it was all they work we need to acknowledge our black music and let them know wassup!
I'm 44 and still listening to Lauren Hill. Il be in my 80s and showing my Great Grandchildren Lauren Hill.
She is like the mother of rap ❤️❤️❤️
Queen Latifah, missy, lil Kim, foxy brown, da brat.....come on now, that’s just 5 off the top of my head. Credit where it’s due, please.
Andrew Henry I’m not denying other very talented Rappers? However she influenced hip hop greatly!
ola
They were 3,eve,missy and lauryn
Alivera Namuganza Missy was amazing as well! I just feel L really helped the youth with her biblical approach to rap
Her voice is just strikingly beautiful. So underrated.
rather esquisite imo
aint no one underrating the legendary Lauryn Hill...
Voice of an Angel
Just made the top of Apple’s streaming list of the greatest album of all time & just inducted into The 2024 GRAMMY Hall Of Fame. Not underrated.
pure, no twerk, nothing, so pure music from a pure heart, thank you for this art
faiisca 94 excellent comment
faiisca 94 i agree
faiisca 94 I wish female rappers today are like laruan hill and doo wop real passion for music
See this is real beauty..they didnt have to get half naked to get views....they promoted independence, inner beauty, black beauty and self confidence..but the media doesnt like to see us in power so what did they do? Replace us with half naked narcissistic Sasha fierces', man-stealing dominatrix Nicki minajs...with lighter bleached skin and blonde hair....smh

Also sold over 20 million album worlďwide and it's 10x platinum
Celestial beauty, my good God, this woman couldn't be more perfect.
Lauryn was that woke chick! Damn! Every lyric she spit was truth goodness! And I love her Tammi Terrell look from the 1960's she's truly a beauty, natural and made up.
Candace Michelle all ISRAELITE sisters are beautful in the natural, its just that most do not believe in themselves enough to go natural, and think that weaves and wearing underwear out in the streets is what makes them beautiful.
Candace Michelle Say it again. Woke for sure.
She was pregnant at the time
Woke to broke.
Hi Candace, how are you doing today
I now understand why old people would say they don't make music like that anymore...I'm now the old person
Me too, 73 and still lovin the music
Same, just take a look at the music now compared to even 10 years ago
I'm pretty young I think 64
@@mariannemark3292 i think so to!
I'm in my 20s but old at heart😂
One of the best songs of all time, both musically and lyrically! "Don't be a hard rock when you really are a gem. Baby girl, respect is just a minimum" and "The punk domestic violence men, money taking, heart breaking men, and you wonder why women hate men. How you gonna win when you ain't right within?" Love it because it's all said from a place of wanting both women and men to get right and respect themselves and each other
and before her Lisa Left Eye Lopes kamikazed a slew o right winged leftover racist
Soo true ❤️
Jesus Christ wants a personal relationship with you through the Holy Spirit, not religion and blind faith. You see, we all have sinned, and have broken God’s law (The Ten Commandments). Wrong doing deserves justice and must be punished (just like how a criminal has to pay for the crime they have committed) but God saved us from the eternal punishment of our sins by sending His Son Jesus Christ, fullness of God in flesh, a perfect, sinless sacrifice to pay the penalty for our sins by dying on the cross and resurrecting, so that we may have everlasting life. It is all finished and now for you to accept the free gift of grace, you must repent of your sins and put your faith in Jesus Christ and Bible says that His Blood will cover all of your sins, you will be forgiven, saved from eternal punishment, and be given everlasting life. By faith you will receive the Holy Spirit, become born again, know Jesus personally and He will transform your heart and clean you from the inside out. Turn away from sin, read the Bible, pray for the Holy Spirit to fill you and change you, obey the Word. Much love and God bless you!
Well said. RESPECT
Queen.

Hello
How’re you doing today?
Am good and you?
I repeated that to myself at least 5x as soon as she said it. Years of me loving this song & I still pull lines out of it that I could use in life.
Back when music was real music
I LOVE this woman!! It is so pathetic/saddening to see her going through all this court BS! It was about her song #IGetOut ..at least that contributed to "THEM" trying to ruin her! :-( She spoke way back in 1999 (I believe) to a group of hs/ or college students. Have you seen it? She is so impowering/inspiring!
Na I missed it. Would've love see it tho
Rob InfraRed I will try to find it and I will post it for you.
***** Same difference. lol Thanks tho. :-)
"Back when music was real music" wtf does that even mean...
I want a girl like her 🥺
This whole Album was Fiyah! Lauryn was untouchable in her day and really today. I've not heard a female rapper at her level
Gladys Dark uhmmm... Cardi B. 1st solo female rapper since lauryn to top the billboard chart. Also cardi broke Beyonce records
Alisha Robertson she is overrated, her bars are mediocre at best, her rhyme is basic, her lyrics doesn’t even carry a message, and have you checked out her album, it received bad reviews.
I agree and I love her on sister act 2: back in the habit

you should check out Noname and Rapsody

Jesus wasn't white for one.☝. for two. he died for our sins. we are undergrace. he said abolished the law so ALL foods are good. 3rd off do your research and actually read the Bible before you judge Christains or anyone for that matter.

InnerRise she didn’t go “crazy”, she had ALOT of personal shit going on and needed to take a step back. Saying she went crazy is dismissive of the issues she was trying to deal with.

Not only that she speaks English.
+Annice Culp 💀I was looking for a comment like this💀

HIS TRUE NAME why do you feel the need to correct him? she still looks good, some women happen to age well especially women who have skin that can absorb the sun without burning.
I thank yall for riding with her when the music industry tried to destroy her. Yall need to be applauded
Lauryn Hill was speaking to & for the future generations
Honestly
Respect for not selling out to Satan! Much love!
takitezy7 she did sell out like many other celebrities,sony gave lauryn hills a second chance to have a comeback with her music career,it was three million record deal but she refused because the elites wiil control her and had to do santanic rituals and many other sick things like having sex with the same sex,beastislity etc .if she wants to become big,thats how the music industry works.
You sell your soul to the devel for fame and fortune ,you have to denounce jesus as your savior and salvation and died for man kind from sin.lauryn hill sings song about how the industry oppressed her from fully expressing herself musicaly and how she wants to break out the industry which is such evil,shes been fighting with the elites for years csuss she want follow them and their evil agenda to the masses so she can deceive people through people copying her ,people not studying the scriptures of god and more.the person save her and take her out of this sick and twisted music industry is Jesus Christ.they say becareful what you dream of because it will turn into your worst nightmare.I pray for those who bonded themselves to the devil so they can find salvation snd peace

It's the fact that the video been out for 25 years and nobody noticed the banner on the right side, at 0:26, displayed "33rd annunal block party" but the years between 1967 and 1998 is 31 years, for me. 😂
it's actually 32 but the 33rd party
I wish black people could see how people were proud of their skin colour,afro and black culture and stop Skin bleaching and feeling ashamed of their skin colour cause we beautiful we don't even need to be told.

It's 3:20 am and I laugehd way too hard at this 😂
its crazy i have heard this song several times but the lyrics hit me heavier now! wow "Dont be a hard rock when you really are gem"
lovelychi I was just thinking the same thing she snapped in that first verse!!
Exactly
explain it a little, i have an idea but dont know
I think people interpret differently but a hard rock is tough, rough, perhaps even ugly (both inside and out) due to the environment it is subjected to. But a gem is often concealed beneath, and can be so much more. A diamond, for example: beautiful, brilliant, precious, and the hardest naturally occurring substance on earth. Be tough AND precious, recognize and own your incredible (self) worth! That's how I take it :)

Baby girl you sing it with love in your soul. ❤
Just my opinion so sit yo ass down. But to me Lauryn Hill was one of the best lyricists out there. I'm talking female and male rappers. She had bars for dayzzz!!! Shes a legend, you cannot compare her to rappers these days. I wish she made more music. Gosh I miss this era of rap and r&b!
Daja Ferguson amen. My favorite female rapper
Daja Ferguson The lyrics here are so intricate, I want to hear her sir down and talk about how she wrote this.
