FIRST TIME HEARING Lauryn Hill - Doo-Wop (That Thing) REACTION

[@tamarac8964]

The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill. Love it!

[@WristwatchAddiction]

One of the best albums. Full stop.

[@ladyredchuk4593]

It is one of my top albums of all time.

[@MegTheGreat82]

I just sat in amazement listening to that whole album when I bought the CD in 1998. 20+ years later and it's still in my top 5. The Score by the Fugees is in there also. Love it✌

[@AdventurousNomad007]

That's my favorite album ever...

[@hsmathis]

Still one of the best hip hop CD’s of all time🙌🏽

[@PerfectlyVoiceless]

I highly recommend listening to this whole album! Its a masterpiece!

[@MsMadAboutMusic]

Yes a masterpiece!!

[@Klas13Klas13]

Hear, hear! 🙌

[@karikells]

And he will fall hard, madly, deeply in love with Ms Hill!

[@rileyxxxx]

it was a good album unfortunately miss lauryn hill lied about the fact thats her original stuff. but she got helped a lot which she tried to keep a secret. in the end she had to return all her grammys she received for it.

[@TL-tk2mo]

Facts! One of the greatest albums of all time and that's not an exaggeration. I'm 46 years old and still listen to this song all the time. I was 21 when this song came out and Lauryn blew everyone away! Even before she went solo and was with The Fugees (also highly recommend!) She could write her own bars, had phenomenal flow, could sing beautifully and if all that weren't enough she's absolutely gorgeous to boot!

[@KittieLisheous]

Lauren Hill was originally in a group called The Fugees, you should check out their stuff too. Try Fu-Gee-La and Ready Or Not.

[@sofsjo]

Ready or not is one of my all time favourite songs!

[@JamesJohnson-mw6zq]

💯

[@biddylisduff]

Excellent album..

[@junglekimmy3611]

True, ready or not is sooo good

[@erinlynette7323]

My favorite was Manifest. I loved the whole album.

[@albaPhenom]

That voice still blows me away till this day. Mz Lauryn Hill, the coolest female artist of the 90's.

[@stevenpivornik9982]

I'm going to put it out there and say she was a fox, but had class, taste, talent, brains, and courage. THAT'S a woman.

[@anabelnieuwen]

Lauryn starred in Sister Act 2. That’s a movie you should check out 🤩

[@katthor7311]

I will talk along with every word of dialogue of that movie, I have watched it that many times.

[@vladpiranha]

One of the sequels I like better than the original. There's just something very watchable about that one.

[@fatifeodoskating]

Oh yes. Can't forget her in sister act 2

[@staceycall3108]

Jennifer love Hewitt as well

[@TXndj9375]

Both movies came out when I was in high school. My favorites 4-eva!

[@vamps_rock]

This whole album was one of the handful that defined the 90s for me. I played TF out of it. The first Macy Gray was another one.

[@patrickwalker9826]

Definitely gotta react to the Fugees and Macy Gray

[@goosegirl3424]

Oooh, love macy! Both her music and personality!!!

[@CreativeCreatorCreates]

I owned those c.d.’s I played them until they didn’t work anymore.

[@IratePuffin]

I really miss Lauren. There’s a lot of people out there who need to hear this song.

[@WristwatchAddiction]

Definitely. Some are even currently making music. 😥

[@TheRedWaltz24]

"To Zion" is my favorite song of hers... so powerful and it has Santana on guitar. Amazing.

[@kishad1542]

I wish he would do that next from her

[@fatifeodoskating]

Yes, awesome song

[@Mastermint]

YES!

[@lucerosmokes9568]

Thanks for that theRed

[@fatifeodoskating]

I saw that u barely pause the music. The beats, the words, the message are just right. Can't go wrong w Lauryn.

[@AndreVlaamsValle]

He pauses it when the changes are very 'dramatic' - Lauryn keeps the flow doing lots of styles mixed together so Jay was led to stay watching

[@karikells]

he does pause music. this time he didn't do it much, though. when he's totally engrossed, it can't pull himself out of it. :-)

[@fatifeodoskating]

@@karikells haha, yes at the end of the song.

[@christinapal2064]

He needs to pause the song at least once. If he doesn't the video/song has a copyright and he won't make any money from it. Another KZbinr explained how it works when they do reaction videos and why they pause videos.

[@mimic493]

She won a handful of Grammy’s for this album

[@MonisiaMarysia]

Lauryn Hill with The Fugees: *Killing Me Softly *Ready Or Not And in the movie "Sister Act 2": *Joyful Joyful (Finale)

[@goosegirl3424]

Oh yes, Ready or not!!! Blooming love that as much as Killing me softly! great shout x

[@Nicole-sf5ms]

Yep. "Ready or Not" is one of my favorites.

[@pennieshivaie9343]

I love how she did "killing me softly " . Excellent female artist 👍👍

[@meraaleta3750]

"How you gonna win if you ain't right within?" - - That lyric still stops me, with its truth. Add to this the fact that Lauryn Hill redefined "win" for herself (offering anyone who was paying attention that same opportunity) and you get a really powerful message.

[@christhornycroft3686]

All the girls in my grade 9 class were obsessed with this song. She was and is a great singer.

[@annother3350]

Did they grow up more classy?!

[@fatifeodoskating]

9 grade? They must be very smart n have some class

[@desireecola924]

"His eye is on the sparrow" she sings in Sister Act 2 is epic 👌🏼

[@robinmeltzer9024]

The album that this comes from, ‘The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill’, is frequently listed as one of the top 100 albums of all time, in any genre. It was certainly one of the very finest albums of the 1990s. It’s an exceptional musicial and lyrical tour de force. Every single track is astonishing.

[@tickle74656]

One of the best albums ever made

[@weezy301]

When this released in 1998, the album "the miseducation of Lauryn hill" was the first for a female artist to set record by getting 5 grammys out of 10 nominations that night. She was the first rap artist to when album of the year and also first time a hip hop album when that award.

[@jitkasuarez]

Lauryn Hill is crazy important! You go ahead and check out all of her work on the Miseducation of Lauryn Hill and her work with The Fugees, too. She's so special.

[@jaimereynolds258]

Clicked right away! I love this song! 😃

[@kineticstar]

I miss the music of this age. So many were trying to educate us through music. Coming out of a turbulent 90's and into a still turbulent 00's but with hope for a future we could sing to. Sadly, the effects of the towers changed everything and now we live in fear and hate.

[@katrenalee1656]

You are not lying. Things really started tanking right around the time of the Towers coming down. It’s so sad and makes me so angry at the same time. I wish we could all just come back together and realize that we are just being yanked around like puppets by the men in power.

[@jkt4748]

Truer words cannot be spoken, shame when you think about how fast everything went downhill from there. And I was a teen the 1st time I went to NCY, July 2001... I knew something was off even then, just didn’t know what?

[@tigerwilliams7723]

You look mesmerized...I don't blame you. This song was everything when it hit the airwaves. It still stands the test of time.

[@gordonmacqueen8694]

I had the fortune of seeing Lauryn Hill on tour for this album. PHENOMENAL concert. The *opening act* for the show was Outkast, to give you some idea of how long ago this was! lol

[@jarelanderson1787]

I went to that concert in la

[@t9131973]

Lauryn is the truth.

[@monicarichards1473]

This song came from her multiple Grammy winning album released in 1998 called the "Miseducation of Lauren Hill". This song was huge the lyrics very deep and a great song to dance to in the clubs. You should give her other two massive hits a listen called Ex-factor and Everything is Everything. She was also in a group called the "Fugees" before her solo work (one of the guys was her cousin "Wyclef Jean) with a song call "Ready or Not" and a cover of Roberta Flack's "Killing Me Softly" from their 1996 Grammy winning album "The Score"

[@FlexWheeler2nd]

To me, this and Ex-factor are two of the greatest songs ever written.

[@TheShiskebob]

And Too Zion.

[@kishad1542]

@@TheShiskebob I came to type that one

[@dbolesen43]

Yes! Ex-Factor is pure genius level artistry! The music, the message and the pure beauty of her angelic voice is unmatched

[@hsmathis]

Agreed

[@henriqueantunes5171]

Ex factor - Lauryn Hill

[@bcpr9812]

More than 22 years later, this track is still fresh. It's unfortunate that Lauryn didn't release any full studio albums after this one.

[@caralayne503]

She was also super pregnant here to boot! She credited being pregnant with boosting her creativity & mind to a diff level.. and the father was Bob Marley’s son, Rohan. And for trivia, she was booed off the Apollo stage in Harlem when she was 13, which shows she never gave up on herself & perfected her craft. #fellowJerseygirl

[@ACEssentialSwag]

I’ve seen this video countless times and I never paid attention to the fact that she was pregnant lol.

[@englishlanguagewithnina5965]

I feel so proud that this is the music I got to grow up to. Lauryn Hill is one of the musical geniuses of our time. Like crazy talented

[@WazigeLogica]

What a gorgeous human she is. I mean I don't know her personally, but all I heard and seen by her touches me. Seems just really genuine.

[@nyeSte]

If I ruled the world by Nas and Lauryn Hill is great too. Also good: Everything is everything 😊😊😊

[@PicklesandAlex]

Lauryn Hill is a female icon. She is so honest and so on point with her music and lyrics. I hope you check her out in Fugees.

[@kittycatlyn]

Lauryn Hill is a true artist. Her Unplugged album is one of the best out there.

[@wasmadeinthe80s]

Lauryn Hill is one of the greatest MC's of all time. First Female MC in history to go Diamond too. Recommend "Ready or Not" and "Killing Me Softly With His Song" from the Fugees which she was also a part of with Wyclef and Pras

[@osiristhesand1234]

Fu-gee-la is a great song too

[@livaugirard3383]

Listened to the whole album on repeat as a teen. She's phenomenal.

[@lacyinmon1004]

This is a good song. It's the truth.

[@BooksNCamping]

Lauren was out there warning everyone!!! A favorite in my 20s and hits just as good in my 40s!! “How you gonna win when you ain’t right within?”

[@shannonb4506]

Listen to the score by the Fugees please. The entire album, just for yourself. You don’t even need to record it.

[@markhayes637]

One of my favourite hip-hop albums of all time. No need to skip a single track.

[@cherry363]

Lauryn is a genius. I do not throw that word around lightly. That album, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, is an actual masterpiece, down to the spoken interludes between songs. She wrote, and curated an actual period piece about being black in late 1990’s America, and it resonates to this day. In fact, we’d be in a much better place collectively in this nation if we’d all taken her messages to heart.

[@kikivon3501]

Lauryn Hill is the Truth!!!!! Such an epic talent, inspired

[@elainepablo8104]

She is an amazing artist. I wish she put out more music. I’d still be listening.

[@sharonjarrett8953]

Dru Hill “I Love You and “Beauty” Jagged Edge “Promise” and “I Gotta Be” and Walked Outta Heaven”

[@richardcarter5082]

Best female rap voice for me, rich tones and perfect delivery.

[@alipanroosendaal9503]

Lauryn Hill is one of the most beautiful pop stars ever. She is glorious. I reckon she could be a tricky and feisty customer too, but hell ...what a spirit!

[@petmom1967]

Chills every time bass drops. Her voice is so unique and beautiful

[@Jack-ot1zq]

Lauren’s voice was so pertinent with the fugees and obviously her solo career, it’s depressing she didn’t carry into the 2000’s as strongly

[@pamelascott5702]

This was my jam back in the day. She’s so talented. You CAN’T sit still when this starts. That beat, that bear, that beeeeaat.

[@stevenshelley9345]

❤️ Lauren Hill. Recently made a playlist for a housewarming party & this track was on there! “How you gonna win when you ain’t right within?”

Lauren Hill is pure class

[@goosegirl3424]

The whole album 'Miseducation of Lauryn Hill' is A M A Z I N G! Another one that soundtracked my teens! I know you don't do covers, but her interpretation of Killing me softly is just incredible. Xxxx

[@patricksmith6796]

She probably is the best MC Singer ever, who could do both well as her when she sings I forget she is a skilled MC even when she raps on this song it still sounds like she is singing.

[@ecj17cel]

All that, and she's gorgeous! So glad you found her! Super reaction!

One of the best songs ever, from one of the best albums in history. Sich a well rounded album, talented wonderful artist.

[@fidel2xl]

This album was the best-selling multi-platinum for that year (1998) if I remember correctly. She also pretty much swept the Grammys in 1999 for this genius album, "The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill".

[@fatifeodoskating]

Yes, that was 1998!! Whow seems like yesterday.

Great song, also a great video.

[@acy2004]

Idk who ever said Lauren Hill wasn’t talented, but they clearly don’t know. This was back when we had “real” music. I remember this song was out when I was in 6th grade and I loved it then like I still do now. Check out Lauren Hill when she was in Fugees, “Ready or Not”. Great reaction 🙋🏻‍♀️🙌🏼👍🏼👏🏼💜🇨🇦

She is one hell of a singer. Fugees and solo.

Lauryn was a singer before she was a rapper. She was in a group called The Fugees and Wyclef Jean, another member convinced her to rap and the rest is history. She’s quick too. Listen to a song called “Consumerism” to see. “The Score” by The Fugees was the first rap album I ever bought.
