Lauryn Hill - Ex-Factor (Official Video) REACTION!! | OFFICE BLOKES REACT

[@cmjd11]

This whole album was ICONIC... it shattered records at the Grammy’s when it was released over 20 something years ago... this is one album where I can honestly say that I legitimately like every song

[@blessedandbeautiful8365]

Every. Single. Song. 👏🏽 Tell Him is my favorite. I remember being a teenager in deep depression and my mom ordered this CD from the magazine and I cried and cried. These men are hilarious trying to figure this out. But hey, it’ll be like this years to come bc her message was Go’s spoken. It’ll always be relevant

Absolute masterpiece.

[@helenabates6700]

In my opinion Lauryn is one of the greatest and this is one of the greatest albums of all time. It was released in 1998 and she took a lengthy hiatus shortly after this. The entire Miseducation of Lauryn Hill is definitely worth a listen to as it has influenced many many albums, songs, and artists that followed. I would start with Do Wop and everything is everything. Solid reaction 👌

[@StayFr0sty]

she is one of the goats of music, ever

[@damonfisher5984]

Lengthy hiatus? She never came back other than soundtrack singles and that MTV UNPLUGGED album. That why I love and hate her. It's a shame she hasn't come out with another studio album. All those Marley babies. Lol

[@bsturgis15]

Lauryn is a musical genius. The logistics of the music industry, spirituality struggles, and tax issues over the years kind of took a toll on her and naturally it affected her career. We (ESPECIALLY black community) hated to see her go through such things and no one seemed to wanna help. Unfortunately this happens to Black women WAY more than any other group, and it sucks. No one can take away her 6 Grammy’s in one night record, including album of the year at the ‘99 Grammy’s, and record sales though! I love you Lauryn Hill! ❤️

[@aj5988]

It was 5 Grammys in one night. Beyoncé and Adele are the only female artists to win 6 Grammys in one night. But I agree Lauryn deserved better, she just didn't want to play the industry's corrupt game and as a result so many turned on her. I often wonder what music we could have been given had it never affected her career the way it did. Such incredible talent silenced.

[@bsturgis15]

@@aj5988 Yes. I stand corrected 5 in one night! But I agree I would’ve LOOVVED to see what she could’ve done. I mean this ONE album is still untouchable so just IMAGINE. Smh.

[@DaveDEF82]

She tried to play the games of the music industry herself. Just listen to what Robert Glasper had to say about playing for her ...

[@missssophisicated6742]

And her bad choices in men knocked her back also..

[@nuffsaid3798]

She was OK genius I don't know

[@limeygaynor]

Lauryn has six children, her eldest Zion was fathered by Bob Marley’s son Rohan Marley. This is from the brilliant album the miseducation of Lauryn Hill.

[@Moonchild.513]

This woman has been sampled so much she probably doesn't have to perform ever again. Iconic!

[@jacquelinebell6467]

This song actually released in 1998 with the album titled “ Miseducation of Lauryn Hill.” The entire album is a masterpiece. Any song on that album if released today would be relevant even for the current times. It is ageless. It is her one and only album to date. To me her album will still be relevant even 30 years from now. Brilliant work. She is gifted!

[@blessedandbeautiful8365]

She actually has another album called MTV Unplugged but it’s not a typical album release but it’s here on KZbin and is so raw and intelligent. She left the scene and she has no regrets and talks about it in the album. Freedom Time is my favorite

[@jacquelinebell6467]

@blessedand beautiful83...Oh yeah. I stand corrected. The MTV Unplugged Concert album as well.

[@vivianawhite8280]

Lauren is so gifted as a rapper, musician and singer-songwriter 🔥

[@robinvolpi]

Without question. One of the absolute best lyricist, man or woman, to ever grace a microphone. And that brilliant voice is incomparable.

[@cocoaxo]

She didn't fall off of the radar, She doesn't want anything to do with the evil music industry and Hollywood, she said this out of her own mouth. They have offered her millions of dollars to come back she said NO

[@KC-ed1dj]

She's had small concerts in the US in the years right before covid.

[@karenjcosme]

Right. This means Dave Chappelle wasn't the first. And she's back on tour.

[@bethanychatman9531]

She couldn't get out of her deal either.

Oh I miss this woman 💔. She's had some hard times.... But her music is timeless. 22 years old.

Lauryn Hill is one of my musical heroes. Her versatility is unparalleled. Beautiful, silky singing voice and one of the best MC's to ever pick up a mic. Truly the best of both musical worlds.

This album was from 1998 and I think I may have listened to it at least 4 times a week ever since then. Every song is a masterpiece. I went to her 20 year anniversary tour and apart from her rocking up about 2 hours late she was amazing! Still has the voice, the flow, the presence. She's incredible.

Just found this channel... EX Factor is an all time fav song because of knowing what it’s like to be in a one sided relationship. I recommend you should react to music by Logic and Tupac, comedy of Dave Chappelle & Greatest plays by Michael Jordan & Kobe Bryant.

Pretty sure that was Lauryn on the guitar solo at the end. Truly one of the great artists of all time.

It wasn't revolutionary, R&B was at it peak back then, many bands and singers were making that type of music, I think the only one that lasted were Mariah Carey, Janet Jackson and Toni Braxton and Beyonce just started in 1998 with Destiny's Child

[@zeromega4541]
