"Fugees I don't know who you are, I never heard of y'all in my life." Damn, I'm old as hell.

[@uniquelylily1166]

Me too 🤣🤣

[@laurah1291]

Me too but it’s so enjoyable watching their reactions to all the classics because they are timeless I mean the Fugees 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 Lauryn Hills voice like butter 💜💜💜

Haha

[@carlotasanchez7768]

Right? I thought the same thing 😂

[@sweeneytodd011]

I was surprised the guys hadn't heard of them though, "the Score" what an album. Classic.

Lauryn Hill’s voice here still gives me goosebumps all these years later

chills, literally

It was tragic to only have one album. I heard her hubby was to blame.

[@michellegreener4535]

Every time!

[@griindtiime9]

There is something beautiful about watching a new generation experience hip hop from a different era and witness how the richness of artistry transcends time and space. Now the real trip is remember when I first heard Lauryn sing this and then going back to discover Roberta Flack. All of this gives me goosebumps.

[@tammygrant5198]

Very well put brother

[@paperclips4113]

It's also amusing to watch them try to pretend that they like some songs. Some I've never heard and haven't liked! PROPS to Y'all. I'd love to watch the elderly take in new music, too. Brilliant idea!

[@danellacoffey5836]

I love watching these guys! I think their reactions are truly genuine, loved watching them seeing Jolene by Dolly Parton and the Creep by Radiohead. They have no weird preconceptions about they style of music or the genre. My one question, did their moms not play music when they were growing up?? My family had music playing all the time, I love all styles of music going back to the 50s and I'm an 80s/90s kinda girl

[@amberwilkins2324]

[@capell2849]

I remember when this song came out on the radio (Fugees version) and my mom knew all the words b/c of Roberta Flack! I thought my mom was so cool! She was singing along on the way to the f-ing grocery store, and I felt like a loser with a cool mom b/c I didn't know the words yet...

[@colleenwilson6869]

I remember when this came out thinking “the Fugees are covering Roberta Flack??” and then I heard it and died. One of the best covers of all time.

[@crosssection6289]

// one of the best covers Nahhhhh. I mean ... Of course ..it is subjective.. and Lauryn is genetically gifted NO DOUBT. BUT.... D's cover of 'the other' Roberta Flack track (from Voodoo) is hands down next level compared to this. ( 'Clef gets props though)

it's not a generation thing in their case, the one kid just heard his first ever rock song only like a year ago, so they probably have only listened to the current stuff and certain genres

[@patriciamorgan6545]

@@shibalover54 I saw Roberta Flack sing at an outdoor concert many years ago. In the middle of this song, this song, of any it could have been, the amplifiers lost power. She just kept on singing, clear and strong. I had to strain to listen, but could still hear her, even in that big, flat, open, area. If it was indoors, I'll bet even the back row would have heard. Power was restored just before the song ended. I'll never forget that show!

Masterofsparks Hwy6 same story here with half the songs used on the talent shows on TV, and the songs sampled on hundreds of rap tracks. The good part of that is when you hear a song you disliked as sung by the original artist, but love it as tweaked by a new artist.

My dad played the original version for me when this came out. Both versions have their own beauty but even after all these years I have to say... Lauryn and The Fugees brought this song to LIFE! ❤️

When this song came out the kids couldn't believe that the old parents knew the words and sang along. It was in the minivan going to the beach I remember it like it was yesterday. What they didn't know was this was a remake of the great Roberta Flack's song. We never let on they just thought we were hipper than they thought. Today the kids are 39 and 36 and have there own kids so you know how old my ass is. I'm a subscriber and love what you boys are doing. As a white family I thought the kids were really trying to shock us but we fooled them. Still makes me laugh thanks for the memory.

[@TheRovert420]
