And it took only ONE SOLO album for Ms. Lauryn Hill to be a living legend.

[@burlhorse61]

she refused to release more albums

[@billbuffett2092]

She is not a legend 😂

[@Pistolwhipperz]

She released 4 albums and starred in Sister Act 2! What are you talking about!

I'm still hurt about Amy dying. And yes, Lauryn Hill is phenomenal.

[@divaslive6953]

I agree, Amy also is so exceptionally brilliant. ✌💖💕

[@OurFantasyLife]

What makes Lauryn Hill such a fantastic singer is that she has the talent and vocals, but she also has the emotion behind it. She knows what every word means to her and she's pouring that feeling into the performance.

Was that before or after she beat her daughter and let down thousands of fans by coming late to concerts all the time and treating her band members and musician like sh*t?

[@InAnotherTimeGirl]

@@corsinivideos She beat her daughter? Which one? I never heard that. There's the one beautiful daughter of hers who looks almost like the spitting image of Lauryn. She was on the cover of a magazine.

[@LoganTorchia]

from the instrumentals to the way her voice sounds.. this version is PERFECT

[@mattp5885]

I appreciate the fact that the band did not not sing over her awesome voice and the drummer's beat was fantastic!

My third-second cousin is black so I suppose I can hear this song:) So if say I wonna some ganga to Croatia to smoke some real smoke, that is racist?:) we are Josip Broz Tito we are killing whole world with your song, but still I wonna smoke some real shit:) Why not i did not smoke for years, why should I denaid from real smoke?

[@AndreDeVerdad]

A voz feminina mais perfeita do hip hop. Pena que ela não gravou mais álbuns solos nem parcerias. Uma voz linda dessa não pode se calar!

[@DanielSantos-bp6lq]

É ISSO MAN!! EXATAMENTE!

[@guilhermemarinho1067]

Concordo plenamente Inclusive o nome do meu filho é Zion por causa da música To Zion que ela fez em dedicação ao seu filho. Falo com convicção Lauryn Hill para mim vai ser sempre a melhor voz feminina de Hip Hop.

[@_Beech]

She had to pay a lot of tax back that’s why she didn’t make as music

[@Mordecai02]

This is probably my favorite recording of the song.
