[@fallgirl07]

The "You said you'd die for me, why won't you live for me?" line is my favorite and I've always interpreted as someone who is all about the grand gestures of love when all their partner wants is for them to be there on a day to day basis. Like they want the drama of breaking up and making up when all Lauryn wants is nightly dinners and for him to do the dishes and take out the trash.

[@cb4664]

Nice interpretation….Felt that.

[@TyIceT]

@@Ana-ns7ek the song isn't toxic. It's about her realizing the toxicity of the relationship... Which I think we all go through at one point in time in order to realize what healthy love is. The title of the album is "The Miseducation"... think about that.

[@determineddetermined3365]

@@Ana-ns7ek The "No one loves you more than me and no one ever will" is a valid line to me because it's saying no one will ever love you enough to deal with all the foolishness that I put up with out of the name of love.

Lauryn Hill is the GOAT!!! Nominated for 10 Grammys and she won 5!! First female hip-hop artist to go Diamond!! Heavily influenced by one of the greatest that came before her, the grand priestess herself, Nina Simone!! (S/N: search KZbin for the compilation of Lauryn Hill and Nina Simone….guaranteed to change your life!) There’s levels to Ms. Lauryn Hill’s music. So much so that the 13 year old version of me fell in love with her and now at 37 I love her even more deeply as this same album resonances with my soul on a completely different but higher level. The layers of understanding is insanely GENIUS!! I’m forever grateful to ever have experienced this masterpiece that served as a catalyst to my spiritual growth. Awesome review!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Love your videos guys! I think the “why can’t you live for me” lyric touches on the instability of the relationship. He says he will die for her, which is very passionate and intense, but as Lauryn comes to the end of the song, she asking herself/him why can’t he just love her without the drama. She’s essentially saying it’s doesn’t need to be a “battle” in which we damage each other. Why can’t we love each other in a way that builds each other up?

My dad until this day owns a bunch of albums and still has his turn tables. I really enjoy watching you and your dad listen to music. It brings back memories of me watching my dad DJ at the house. Plus your dad's reactions are so genuine. Keep up the good work guys. This is my favorite Lauryn song as well.

What comes to mind when she says, "You said die for me," then "why won't you live for me?" It makes me think of how the person is willing to make a promise about something intangible or far out there that might not happen, yet the thing that is tangible, living, isn't given or promised. It's easy to promise something that might not necessarily happen than it is to promise something that requires actual actions of the person in the present tense. Claiming to die for someone is a far-out action that isn't guaranteed to occur. A false claim.

Yup, have to agree with you. Thanks for watching. - Kai's dad

Please have your dad listen to “To Zion” by Lauryn Hill. I’d LOVE to see his reaction and hear his thoughts on it.

Love Lauryn Hill Ex Factor 💯🙏🏾

Miseducation is one of my all time favorite albums from any artist. “Now the joy of my world is in Zion.” I lost a son years ago. The song Zion helped me so much in the early days coping with the loss. I stumbled upon your channel and haven’t listened to Lauryn Hill in a minute. Thanks for bringing me back brother. Cheers

Your Dad is amazing. I appreciate him for opening his mind up to listen to great music that raised many.

[@lilyraiyne9225]

This of many is such a beautiful song. The bitter-sweet is what makes it have such and ebb and flow. I love listening to you both talk about it...it really brings me joy to see the interaction of an actual conversation between you two!! Great job to you both!

Lauryn Hill - Tell Him. My favourite song of all time! No one can compete with Lauryn!!

[@ndabenhlengcobo8741]

That's a 5 GRAMMY album 🥇

[@lashainesweat1972]

The way he dissects and savors these songs/artists that are iconic and rooted in black culture and experiences is exquisite! Great conversation guys ❤️

[@teammmx]

9:35 your dad was definitely about to mention Killing Me Softly by Roberta Flack. Perfect time to hit him with the Lauryn’s incredible cover of that song. A classic in its own right. It will blow him away.

[@frontroom]

It is coming up! Stay tuned :) - dad
