First Time Hearing FUGEES - READY OR NOT || Reaction

[@sample.text.]

"How can she rap and sing so well in one song?" This is Lauryn Hill we're talking about... she can do it all

[@wgdavis5353]

Hi Ms. Empress, Ms. Lauren was also an actor when she was a teenager on the Soap As the world Turns.. ♠W.G.

[@pamagnolia]

Lauren was really great in this!! First time hearing! Thanks Empress! 😊💐

[@EMPRESSJOYJEAN]

@Pa, yiur6 first time hearing this song?

[@pamagnolia]

@@EMPRESSJOYJEAN yes it was 😊. So thank you for exposing me to it!!

[@jimreichers7196]

Love this song!!!

[@johnhextall1136]

Great reaction! Lauren Hill was the voice of a generation here in London. Check out Doo-wop (that thing). Brilliant!

[@matthewleonhardt2407]

This was another amazing reaction to one of my all time favorite hip hop groups! I’ve seen them a lot in the 90’s until their eventual breakup. And I still like Lauren Hill and Wyclef’s solo stuff! You made my day more amazing Empress! They have a lot more fantastic songs and hope you enjoy exploring this band!

[@marthaz]

Love them, love you 💞🙏

[@Mtc0nqr3r]

Lauren Hill is a great example of sticking with it and not letting anyone stop her. When she was 13, she got booed on the Apollo but she kept singing. That could have ruined her but she had what it took to keep pushing. She was in Sister Act with Whoopi Goldburg. With the Fugees she was great but her solo career was even better. Simply outstanding!

[@carlbaker7242]

Hey, how did I miss this one. A sure enough hit. I hope you enjoy. I love it.

[@EMPRESSJOYJEAN]

What!!! I saw this and said Oh yeah!!! Old school jamming.

[@pctlc]

Isn't that backing music from a song called I don't wanna know or something like that? Empress enjoyed that I believe!!

[@gertrudelaronge6864]

Thank you.

[@itachiuchiha6604]

Hill a beast on one of my faves of all time good rap great voice and this is one of my go to songs love it so much

[@swinde]

You can't go wrong with Lauren Hill. She was with the Fugees and on Wyclef's solo "Carnival". She then released "The Mis-Education of Lauren Hill" This album is a masterpiece. It is somewhat personal About her relationship with Wyclef Jean and her decision to keep her baby. (Zion). Here is the album on KZbin: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sGKrd62ba5h9mZI

[@girlsdrinkfeck]

lets not forget to give credit to the one who created the tune ,enya fron 1987, 9 years before this track, seems all american urban artists all copy british isles music

[@DublinJimmy80]

This is a stone cold killer track! 🇮🇪💯♥️

[@beno7238]

Empress!!! So happy to see you introduce yourself to hip hop with the beautiful voice of Lauren Hill and The Fugees!! You really need to check out their cover of "Killing Me Softly" her voice is absolutely amazing.

[@bluenightsky]

Definitely check out Enya since you like the bg vocals so much! I love this song and also Enya's original song, Boadicea. Please react to that song if you can! Love your reactions!

[@jlovell40831]

"Sonombulous" is the loop on this track. I had just watched the movie "Sleepwalkers" that featured that song. I was like I need that for a beat (I was rapping at the time). Fast forward a couple years later and this chick I was seeing asked if I've heard the new Fugees album yet and I'm like naw. She plays this track. I was lightweight salty because I wanted to use that sample but I couldn't stay mad because they killed it!!

[@ctguitarguy8510]

So that hum you love, in the background, is a sample of "Boadicea" (1987) by Irish singer Enya, and its chorus is based on "Ready or Not Here I Come (Can't Hide from Love)" by the Delfonics. Enya considered suing the Fugees because they had sampled "Boadicea" without her permission. Enya stated, "We were actually on the verge of suing them because of the copyright infringement, because they just didn't approach us. It was a case of, I wasn't featured at all on the credits and it [the sample] was very much a part of the song." However, the singer reached an agreement with the Fugees to an out-of-court settlement after she realized that their music wasn't gangsta rap. According to Wyclef, "Luckily when Enya heard everything, she was like, ‘This is different’ and she gave us a pass - which she don’t even need to do." The situation was a learning experience for the group, who at the time were unaware of copyright clearance and unfamiliar with publishing procedures.

Lauren Hill is incomparable.❤️ Please do a reaction to The Fugees “Killing Me Softly.” “That Thing” is also a great song.

[@drewkinninmont]

Lauren Hill forever amazing

[@compostradio8202]

Enjoy The Silence by Depeche Mode please! You have a beautiful soul, thank you for letting us enjoy these songs through your heart!

[@DemonNeil]

I’m sure you’d love Killing Me Softly by Lauryn Hill...

[@yoshiodiaz8600]

You should take time to hear the complete "The Score" then her solo album "The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill"

[@itachiuchiha6604]

If you want a good Lauryn hill song to react to check out killing me softly, doo wop, and one of my personal favorites mystery of iniquity

[@thomasmcshane7615]

It’s Ms. Lauryn Hill and the Fugees.

[@rpnp2]

You would like alot of Wyclef songs

[@ssacra22]

Lauren Hill was amazing. She had a hugely successful solo album as well. Sadly, she kinda lost her way not long after that and became a bit of a mess.

[@lenstgelais7376]

She has found god that’s why she doesn’t performed now she’s back with the fugees with live performances all over America in the next year

[@ssacra22]

@@lenstgelais7376 We'll see. I just know she was off of the deep end for awhile.

@@rarefigueroa3773 No. She was actually a mess! A fried of mine had to work with her following her big success and she was a mess.

nice reaction, please do Heartbreaker by Pat Benatar.

[@jkinsman20]

You most check out her solo albums. The others person about her losing her way is crazy. She had a kid and stepped away from the drama at the time. Do your research.

[@macbrewster2392]

Umno one has mentioned Enya!!!!! this who song is Enya.

[@itachiuchiha6604]

Check out Lauryn hill song mystery of iniquity for reaction please

[@ripteye]

What how old are you that you never head this before, I'm shocked. Lauryn Hill is the Queen of all.

[@vaporjoes]

Wyclef.. he tried to be come of a president of an afican country at some point didn't he?

[@robjay3850]

L Boogie is the best.

[@Tackz777]

You probably “heard this before” because it was stolen, I mean “sampled” from Enya. The Refugees pretty much fell off the earth after this album. Lauren Hill had a brief solo career until she was convicted of tax evasion in 2012 for $2.3 million.
