"Fugees I don't know who you are, I never heard of y'all in my life."
Damn, I'm old as hell.
Me too 🤣🤣
Me too but it’s so enjoyable watching their reactions to all the classics because they are timeless I mean the Fugees 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 Lauryn Hills voice like butter 💜💜💜
Haha
Right? I thought the same thing 😂
I was surprised the guys hadn't heard of them though, "the Score" what an album. Classic.
Can't believe there's a whole generation that doesn't know the fugees.
it's not a generation thing in their case, the one kid just heard his first ever rock song only like a year ago, so they probably have only listened to the current stuff and certain genres
I've watched hours of these videos, and most of the time I believe them. But they don't know Whitney or Lauren Hill? I am sus. picious. I also don't believe they like The Carpenters. No way.
Cyndi Ledet I’m 14 and my favourite singers are Amy whinehouse, Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson and Mariah Carey
It's really sad...
@@rebeccat6825 yeah so that proves it, that it's not a generation thing. some families listen to a wide range with their kids growing up, some don't. my best friend knows all the 70s-80s bands and I don't for example lol. I know all the pop punk bands and lots of rap, and she doesn't
There is something beautiful about watching a new generation experience hip hop from a different era and witness how the richness of artistry transcends time and space. Now the real trip is remember when I first heard Lauryn sing this and then going back to discover Roberta Flack. All of this gives me goosebumps.
Very well put brother
It's also amusing to watch them try to pretend that they like some songs. Some I've never heard and haven't liked! PROPS to Y'all. I'd love to watch the elderly take in new music, too.
Brilliant idea!
I love watching these guys! I think their reactions are truly genuine, loved watching them seeing Jolene by Dolly Parton and the Creep by Radiohead. They have no weird preconceptions about they style of music or the genre. My one question, did their moms not play music when they were growing up?? My family had music playing all the time, I love all styles of music going back to the 50s and I'm an 80s/90s kinda girl
🙌🙌🙌
I grew up with Roberta Flack's music, among many others, I hate covers but, really enjoy this version.
Miss Hill's voice has everything to do with that.😘👍😜
I grew up with Roberta Flack singing this one. Lauren did a great interpretation and update.
I love Roberta flack singing this and agree with ya
Exactly
@Sean Sean I never knew he sung the song as well. I'll have to give it a listen
I remember being in the car with my mom when the fugees came out. She kept saying this was an old song and I was like na this came out this week. Lol. Then she put on some Roberta Flack. Feel like makin love my favorite
I remember when this song came out on the radio (Fugees version) and my mom knew all the words b/c of Roberta Flack! I thought my mom was so cool! She was singing along on the way to the f-ing grocery store, and I felt like a loser with a cool mom b/c I didn't know the words yet...
Lauryn Hill’s voice here still gives me goosebumps all these years later
chills, literally
Lol it only took me about 2 seconds
Same!
It was tragic to only have one album. I heard her hubby was to blame.
Every time!
I remember when this came out thinking “the Fugees are covering Roberta Flack??” and then I heard it and died. One of the best covers of all time.
With her blessings tho🖤
My mom hates the original but loves this cover...and the original came out when she was about 19.
// one of the best covers
Nahhhhh. I mean ... Of course ..it is subjective.. and Lauryn is genetically gifted NO DOUBT.
BUT.... D's cover of 'the other' Roberta Flack track (from Voodoo) is hands down next level compared to this. ( 'Clef gets props though)
Original isnt by Flack. Lori liberman
You guys should listen to Roberta Flack's version!
This song was huge around 1995 or so. Seriously, the radio stations would play it at least 2x an hour.
Ok, now please explain what a radio is, lol.
Yip
1996
I used to have to find CDs to prove to my lassie 😂✌
Roberta Flack introduced it and Lauryn leveled it up👌
Mannnn, the 90s are THE GOLDEN AGE of hip hop.
the 90s were the golden age of music in general.
The Fugees ran so the Black Eyed Peas could walk.
Black Eyed Peas ran for two albums until they brought on Fergie and started crawling.
Please, don’t compare the Fugees to the black eyed peas. Apples and oranges my friend.
You need more pre-Fergie BEP in your life. Weekends with Esthero is as solid as 90s hip hop gets.
Lmaooooo
Black Eyed Peas are like a discount Fugees
Too young to know who the Fugees are, but Wise enough to understand and appreciate it. This 90’s kid loves their reaction!
The 90's were the absolute best as a kid😩😩😩
@@ccjammy5270 PopSugar just put out a 90's Summer Jams playlist on Spotify. It's SO dang good. It's the perfect mix of every good 90's summer jams from Sublime to NKOTB to Will Smith to Aaliyah to Celine Dion.
@@redwingprincess 🤗🤗🤗🤗
OMG, this song was everywhere when I was in middle school
They are so into it.gives me the want to watch and listen more.peace.
These young men weren't born until 2000, so I can understand why they've never heard so many of these songs. I just LOVE how open they are. AND the Twin with the low cut/Caesar fade makes the BEST stank faces ever!!💯💕👏🏾
Yup ther baby's ...I love thet they appreciate all different kind of music ❤
I am born in 2001 and was bumping those songs on roadtrips with my parents 15 years ago! Absolutely loved it
90s era 🎵 fugees killing me softly a masterpiece love your reactions❤
My daughter used this song as an example why her generation had the best music. I LAUGHED and put on Roberta Flack. Awesome parenting moment....
As someone from the Lauren hill generation I agree with you
Can't touch Roberta!
Got her!!! 👍🏽🤣
🤣🤣🤣
hahahahah that's awesome!
I felt my soul break when he said "Fugees I don't know who you are"...damn.
They never heard it....but their reaction was ...they liked it!
Yup
I honestly think they are making this shit up - they're black and they've never heard of the Fugees? OK then 👌
The Fugees had one of the best albums of the 90s
Pffft. Good album but nowhere near to holding that title!!
Krystal A I love 2 pac & Biggie but before their untimely and unfortunate deaths, the Fugees album “the score” out sold, won more Grammys and was critically acclaimed by the mainstream, underground, streets and music critics around 1996-1997 than any hip hop acts. That’s rare where all types of fans bases love and appreciate your work on a particular album. I feel like each passing year, people forget about the fugees. I still prefer pac, big, big l and wu-tang but none of those guys did well commercially (when they were alive pac/big) than the Fugees did with “the score”
Sigh back when hip hop/R&B was actually good!
I remember I heard it at a party & went out h bought it the next day! So good
She killed them....softly. One of the greatest female vocals ever.
Her voice always brings tears to my eyes. No matter what's happening, what mood I'm in. And it's never in a bad way. It's like so purely beautiful, it just happens.
Everything is Everything is my favorite Lauryn track followed by That Thing …Don’t be a hard rock, when you really are a gem!
Ok now you need to hear Roberta Flack's version of this song she did this song decades before the Fugees.
YES !
I loved her version when I was little.
Yes the original!
They need to hear Roberta.
Agreed. I love this version but you really need to listen to the original of this one too.
You've never heard of The Fugees!?!?!? They were EVERYTHING! I owned this CD and scratched it listening so many times. How Many Mics, Fu-Gee-La, Ready or Not(!!!!!!!)...you must listen! Also if you've never listened to Lauryn Hill you need to listen to her debut in full. Every song is a banger, I promise! Wyclef Jean's album The Carnival is also good, he sings in Hatian, he does a great song using Staying Alive by the Bee Gees...it's so good
Yeah check out Fu-Gee-La, Ready Or Not & How Many Mics
Renee 👀
Ready or not, here I come! ♥️♥️♥️ The Fugee's are a fantastic choice! Erika Badu!
The Carnival I played over and over again, was 14 or 15 then.
Yes!! The Fugees and Miseducation of Lauren Hill were sooo good! I wore those CDs OUT! I miss those days 😭😭😭
Watching you guys I realize there’s still hope for humanity.
truth
Ikr.....
Hahahaha 😂
2 months before my son was killed this came on the radio and he turned it up lol he could not believe I knew the words! I sang her part to the top of my lungs along with my son driving in the car! Brings tears to my eyes watching another generation learning new music 🎶 thank you 😊
When you sittin' here thinkin' to yourself 'Who are these kids parents that they never heard this?!!' 😂
Glad yall enjoyed!
Agree! 😢
TRUE. I got teenage nephews who enjoys music from the 90s and even down to 70s coz that's what they hear from us.
Hah for real. Even my 10year old knows this
I have to agree. Trying to expose my babies to all of the goodies.
Rite, my kids love 90's rap, hip hop, and r&b. I listen to it sooo much that they realize this new mess is nothing compared to what we had
Note: This song, originally sung by Roberta Flack, was about the singer/songwriter Don McLean (the guy who wrote and sang “American Pie” ... big hit in the 70s
I did not know that! I can see it. "Vincent" still slays me. These guys need to hear that one! Starry starry night...
Baba's Kitchen: Ukrainian Soul Food didn’t know either- makes soo much more sense now!! I can see clearly now!
actually, roberta did a cover of this song. i was written by a little white girl from California named, Lori Liberman with co working charlie fox.
Leslie Doll That’s good to know. I only knew it was about McLean
@@lesdoll402 Very true, but it was Roberta's version that would become a hit.
Lauryn Hill has an amazing voice. This song was phenomenal .
Yes, she’s phenomenal!
Lauryn's voice in this song always gives me goosebumps
This showed up in my recommended ... I was like how have they not heard of this song? Then realized it's over 20ish years old lol. Wow I feel old! You all are adorable, loved the reaction.
@KC Nwaneri I know. I'm going, no no, this is NEW. Listen to the original!
Yesterday they didn't know who Witney Houston was... Someone has failed to put on good music in that house when they were growing up
Sunny micucci right i’m 16 and i know all these songs from my mother 😂 grew up listening to them
men these kids be buggin' i wanna beat their asses
It’s surprising their parents/caregivers never played this around the house!
Lauryn Hill
" Doo Wop (that thing) "
Her biggest hit... Bars & Shade.... Classic !
The original song was written because the author went to a concert and heard Don McLean sing "Vincent" and this was the listener's reaction to hearing him!
Omg you HAVE to listen to “Ready or Not” and “Fu-gee-la” by the Fugees.
The whole album!!
Loved Fu-gee-la used to sing it as a duet with my best friend back in '96 when we were 15. God i feel old. Lol
Oh absolutely they do! Ps I wish it was 1996😅
Woooooo that is a good one too
I’m surprised y’all parents ain’t played this for y’all...crazy this one of the dopest hip hop songs of all time
Their parents might be young as hell too! 😄😆😅🤣😂
I was thinking the same thing!!
@@BRaggles yeah but damn...how young?!
Factz
@@BRaggles Then their parents parents!!
You can pick any song from “ the miseducation of Lauren Hill “ greatness
TRUTH!! The whole album is genius!
🙌🙌🙌
Same, but I’m also glad that it starts with Lost Ones
WORD
Lauren is so gifted and feels ever word, note, beat and won't compromise her standards. We have to let her reappear when she's ready.
Lauryn Hill was the girl in Sister Act Ii. What a talent.
If they've never heard this, they've surely never seen that. *lol*
@@SilverFlame819 they should tho
She was also on a soap opera too
Every time I hear a CZcamsr say “I’ve never heard this before” I feel a little older.
Literal same
I feel you
Same here.
For the most part it's a lie, most reactors claim they never heard anything, so you can click and watch someone's "authentic" first time reaction, not gonna say them in particular cus I can't know for sure but seriously, who the fuck doesn't know about the legendary Lauryn Hill and her signature song killing me softly?? 10 year olds know this song, you have to have at least heard it somewhere or in a movie
rodenrren2 i don’t doubt that some people fake it but i’ve met so many people that are clueless or not interested in the whole 90s RNB era and just stay to their own generation of music
Lauryn Hill "Doo-Wop ( that thing)"
The fugees "Ready or not"
Love it! 46 years old having fun with these boys!
Lyrics were wrong. The one part is “embarrassed by the crowd”, not “in there was a vital crowd”😂
This bothered me so much I had to see if someone had mentioned it! Lol
Thank you lol
Me too!
and “I prayed that he would finish” not afraid that he would finish. some weird lyrics in this video 🙈
I hoped someone pointed this out 😂
Lauryn had the one guy shook immediately lol there isn't another one like her.
@@thenoodle1497 really? There's a video of nicki minage kissing her feet?
Miki Miyazaki yep
@@yadad7256 i dont think nicki minaj kissed her feet.
nicki minaj just bowed down to worshiped lauryn hill.
Roberta flack sang the original version
@@dacallah1
no, the original is by lori lieberson.
Roberta Flack's is a cover.
Whitney and Fugees all in one day?! Lord, you are killing US softly! Love these reactions! ♥️
Confident genuine woman not worried about the world with a little funk to her, pretty hard to resist that.
I remember this and "Crossroads" by Bone Thugs playing back to back every morning on MTV while I'd get ready for school. Good times.
“The Miseducation of Lauren Hill” now.
Yes!!
Seriously. One of the best albums ever.
@@nicolepittman2213 my soul NEEDS to listen to that whole album sometimes.
Shoutout to the 80’s babies like “you’ve never heard of this song 😱” then realize you were probably graduating high school when they were born.
Yeah but their mama never played it in the kitchen? Cmon.
Can't wait till they discover Erika and Jill
Inaede Marughu haha! Truth
01 man
danis lugo same!
This is the mother of one of Bob Marley's grandchildren.
Many of his grandchildren actually
Have they reacted to Bob?
Mr. Marley.
Really? Beautiful!
Five I think
React to “Killing Me Softly With His Song” by Roberta Flack. And feel how go back to basics can make you feel the music flow through every pore in your body.
Best version ever by Roberta, that Lady sings like an Angel,,,
I said that too.
Roberta Flack's version makes my whole body ache, it's so good.
'I don't know the fugees..." - I'm about to apply social security benefits cuz I'm feeling old...
Jay Sabano same 😩
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I near had a coronary when he said he’d never heard of them 😱
Same
lol i’m only 17 and i feel old
Can you believe Lauryn Hill was actually booed off stage when she performed at the Apollo at the tender age of 13?!?!? She is one of the best singers of all time and she had a rough start. She deserves much love and props.
To be fair, they boo almost everyone lololol
she was not booed off she recovered and by the end the crowd was cheering.
It's sad that most younger kids only know her from sister act....
Wha ha! So funny to see the new generation who had never heard of the Fugees! Great vid! Keep it up!
I was in elementary school when this song came out in 1973 Killing Me Softly by Roberta Flack....and redone by the Fugees with lead Lauryn Hill in 1996..they did a great job, love it.
I can’t believe they never heard this before. Go get your parents! They need to answer for their crimes! 🤦🏾♀️
The question is who their parents are?
LMAO
Yesss! 😅
The twins say their family didn't listen to anything but church music, and they didn't get into anything that wasn't strictly church until they turned 18 (they turned 18 just 4 years ago)...
Jeff Black oh, ok. Thank you for the explanation.
You should hear Lauryn rap.... Ready or Not
Yes yes yes 💖
She was the best rapper in the group and it's not even close. How many mics verse was so ill!!!!!
Yessssssss!
YES
YES!!!
One of my earliest memories of my mom is listening to the Roberta Flack version in the car with her. Can’t believe this version is 25 years old!! 🔥✨🙌
Hello black bro's in US. Hope you still running through music of my youth. Best wishes from Sarajevo, Bosnia.
If your channel is proving anything, it's that everyone, of all ages and backgrounds, should listen to every era and genre. There's too much amazing out there to get stuck in a rut
Music 🎶 IS the great unifier ♥️
Amen. There's no such thing as saying "that music's too old".
If Fugees came out with that today that shit would be number one
For real!!!
Who exactly raised y’all where you never heard this song or the Fugees or Lauryn Hill?!? I need to talk to y’alls mamas.
I’m tellin you, everybody knows L Boogie
I was thinking the same thing
Lol really right terrible
Agreed! My kids know every popular song ever and movies too lol
i know right
I love watching yall’s reactions! Makes you fall in love with these great songs all over again!
Literally one of the best songs of all time.
For ‘90s, try: Arrested Development: “Mr. Wendal,” Digable Planets: “Cool Like Dat,” Soul 2 Soul: “Back to Life” of Terence Trent d’Arby: “Wishing Well”
@Laura Hartmark - all good song choices, Terence Trent Darby “Wishing Well” is actually 1987 though. :)
Yaaaas Soul II Soul! Instant vibes!
Yes Yes Yes and more Yes
I still listen to Soul II Soul.....Caron Wheeler's voice is as good as anybodys.
Though with Terence i prefer If You Let Me Stay....it gives me James Brown vibes and that's somebody else they need to listen too as well
All classics 90’s my 20’s yayyyyyy 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳The BEST MUSIC AND HIP HOPS CLASSICS 🏆🏆🏆🏆
Twins - this is a KILLA but make sure yall listen to Roberta Flack's Killing Me Softly (the original sampled here by the Great Fugees)
I actually saw Roberta Flack. She opened for...Bill Cosby.
The original song was about a woman watching a concert by Don McLean (the man who sang “American Pie” and “Vincent”).
absolutely listen to the original....try some Minnie Ripperton too for fun
I actually kind of like the Fugees' version a little better. Don't hate me.
@Bee K Did you just pull out Minnie?!? Nobody can do it like she could. Come to My Garden.
Al Green ~ “How do you mend with a broken heart”
Yes,indeed!
One if my favorite songs. I remember sitting on the trunk of my car vibing to this with the kids in the trailer park 💕
This proves a lot. He said he never heard someone sing to a hiphop beat. They chose wisely.
These guys should sit down and listen to The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill all the way through
Hands down one of the best albums by a female singer/songwriter ever. Every single song is amazing and still the best live show I have ever seen.
damn right... she did so amazingly well with that album... loved it
yes
Agreed. How do they not know who she is???? 🤦🏼♀️
YESSSSSSS
She sings it silky smooth ~~~~~~~
You boys rock
I looove to watch your faces when u hear something for the first time ... I looked the same way 20 years ago 🌟
Y’all haven’t heard the Fugees? How about Arrested Development? If no, you need to listen to “Tennessee” immediately.
There's a mix from a DJ on CZcams going around with Salt and Pepa and Arrested Development without the Ol man tho and Speech's hair OMG💯
Damn right they should do Arrested Development if they haven't heard them!
Add Tracy Chapman to that list 🙌🏻
Taking it back to 92.
FACTS
Fact: Lauren Hill the female singer also starred with Whoopi goldberg in Sister Act 2.
Still love that movie
Ohhh happy day!
Classiccccc.
As someone who's loved singing since a child, but never let's people hear her, this movie and Lauren’s character cuts deep and still brings me to tears.
THAT WAS HER IN THE MOVIE??!! :D
Just made sister act 2 cooler than it already was.
The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill was one the best albums I ever bought, I think I nearly wore the CD out! She’s amazing!
Funny thought, at this point they have no idea that Ms. Hill is a killer MC too!!!
At first: who hasn't heard the fugees killin em softly?
Later: looked up release of song
Then: looked at the ages of the reaction gurus and realized the song came out before they were born
Conclusion: im getting old
Man The Score was released in 1996. Doesn’t feel that long ago!
This album "The Score" is one of the best albums of the 90's, of any genre. Another great song from it to check out is "Fu-Gee-La."
They need to run through the whole album!!
It brings me joy to see a younger generation appreciate good music.
Lauren Hill, thank you for the amazing soundtrack to my 20's!!
Much love to you,. wherever you are!
New guy! The more the merrier. In 5 years: what did you to survive being home-bound because of COVID-19? I watched charming young men listen to classics for the first time and show real respect.
Amen! PREACH! 🙌
Right?! Lol they are so much fun to watch! I feel old that they've never heard of some of this stuff, but I'm also glad that a new generation is connecting with the music we grew up with. ❤❤❤
Absolutely!
Right?!?!? I've been watching video after video! I love it!!
It's weird to me that they don't know the Fugees. How do they have a picture of Tupac on the wall, but don't know the Fugees? I almost feel bad for the current generation, they missed out on one of the greatest eras in music, particularly R&B and hip hop.
That’s what every generation says lol It’s quite possible to know Tupac and not the Fugees. They’re totally different genres
@@tinamarie8061 uh...they're both hip hop.
I’m just floored by there willingness to embrace, new to themselves, music. They are priceless!
Don’t feel bad, these guys bring hope. Just watching them is a joy! Good music is safe with them.....I’m encouraged!
Pac is a legend...Pac is like Dr.King...UCB offered a class on Pac. Pac is a genius. My 88 yr old Mother know Pac..
Ms. Lauren HIIIIIIIIIL! Man i used to have this song on repeat back in High School! Lauren is a Legend legit.
That's how I felt when I first heard The Score in the 90s.
Lauryn Hill gave it all to the Fugees.
I love that the kids who missed the short, amazing career of the fugees get to discover their music for the first time- make sure to also check out the Miseducation of Lauryn Hill!!!!
Damn you boys GOT IT!! expand your minds!! THIS WAS MY JAM IN THE 90S!! Been LOVING seeing your trips down musical history!! Sending much love and support, small town gal in NH
Lauren hill is da voice that rolls vibes unlike no other 🙏🌻🙌
Fugees!!
I was 19 when this came out. Every club in England this was played in. My youth!!! Love it 👍🇬🇧✌️😜
The first beat dropping is from a Tribe Called Quest - Bonita Applebaum. Y'all should do that one
Wasn't there a lawsuit involving that and it turned out they both actually stole it from Enya?
Edit: I'll leave this up cause it's important to own it, but I had the wrong song. That was Ready Or Not. These guys should do that one as well. Brilliant song
Any Tribe Called Quest yo
Tribe first three albums. Front to back
Listen to the entire album. It's one of the best albums of all time.
One of my favorite songs. Such beautiful lyrics and Her Voice is fantastic. 💙
Watching little brother smiling was worth it ❤❤❤
Gen X here, reliving the 90s with you. Thanks for this moment!
Oh yeah guys! This is a cover from Hill...Roberta Flack did it originally. This is a banger! 😄..1 time..2 times
Love this version
Actually Roberta’s is a cover also if you’ll believe it.
@@eaqua56 - but Roberta made it famous.
@@angelagygi She definitely did! Lori Lieberman's version is more of a folk song, Roberta Flack made it famous (hers is my favorite), but I think Lauryn Hill really made it her own in an amazing way. Just a great song all around.
Hip Hop Royalty. The Fugees did their thing but Lauryn Hill went on to be a solo artist in which she won 5 Grammy's for her debut album (The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill) released in 1998. This album is flawless. You ran listen to every song multiple times and never get tired of it. Favorite track: "Tell Him."
Now you know why we like to hear positive music that lifts you up! not tear anyone down...glad you visit the other eras. Its nice to see the young appreciate good music....
This version of the song samples “Bonita Applebum” by A Tribe Called Quest. Straight 90s hip hop!!
Really? I did not know that.
Had to physically prove to my young teen daughter, who I had never lied to in her life, that this, while great, wasn't Lauryn Hill's song, but Roberta Flack, and once I showed I was telling the truth, she STILL got mad. Lol
Masterofsparks Hwy6 Because parents are supposed to be wrong. How dare you be right! 😂
Technically Lori Lieberman’s song. And you should play her the song it was written about- Empty Chairs by Don McLean.
@@katherinemorelle7115 wow really? Yeah i didnt know that. Dont tell my kid, ill never hear the end of it. Lol
Masterofsparks Hwy6 same story here with half the songs used on the talent shows on TV, and the songs sampled on hundreds of rap tracks. The good part of that is when you hear a song you disliked as sung by the original artist, but love it as tweaked by a new artist.
My dad played the original version for me when this came out. Both versions have their own beauty but even after all these years I have to say... Lauryn and The Fugees brought this song to LIFE! ❤️
This makes me so happy.
Loved this version by the Fugees. They were amazing!!
Would love to see you all react to Luther Vandross’ live performance of “A House Is Not A Home” -Performance from the 80s..He was truly one of the best R&B vocalists & artists of our time... 💕 I believe it was a performance from the NAACP Awards honoring Dionne Warwick.
Im 33 and I loved the reaction. Much respect to you guys. Share these Gems young kings, we need the vibe from these hits. Soul 🎶 Music that feeds the heart.
Amen!
Me: What?! You've never heard the Fugees? This just came out, like, um...oh...oh dear god...I'm old AF.
Seriously. Time, please stop.
Girl. You don't realize it until you check the year that the album was released 😆
ikr!? 🤣 😂 😅 😭
She brought a tear to your eye (white shirt), I saw it! Lauren can do that to ya.❤️
"Never heard a hip hop beat and she singing to it." Thank God I was alive in the 1990's and didn't miss little things like that.
Was a little girl in the 1970s when the amazing Roberta Flack recorded this. Lauren Hill recorded it just as stunningly.
Me too! Feel old but these kids make my heart happy with their appreciation and enthusiasm. Great kids!
Same!! 🙋🏻♀️ Facts!!
I don't understand how you've never heard this before. Where are parents, aunties and uncles to show you the way? I am shocked! I am glad you are learning. Sheeeesh!
Right!!!!
I was just thinking this!
Because they think a good female rapper is Cardi B. or Nikki Minaj. They don't know that Lauryn is the OG!
IKR.....I have been wondering esp since I'm from the G too. Does anyone know if they have ever said what music was played in the house?? Hmmm my lil ones had to listen to gospel for a long while. Maybe its something similiar.
Black radio has failed us- when these lil youngins don't know these artists or their classics. Radio and video introduced us to all the legends who came before us when we were growing up....and where are your parents WTH! But it's cute tho, at least you're learning smh
I grew up on funk,house and r and b. Im mexican. Love it all. They need to hear Earth wind and Fire - Reasons.
Kids today don't listen to the radio like we did. We heard these incredible songs from a fairly wide scope over and over and over. They find their music on social media, streaming services, and video gaming: Tik Tok, Instagram, CZcams, Snapchat, Twitch, Roblox, etc... often used as background. So while we were "served" playlists on limited channels and platforms (radio, TV, cable, Albums/Tapes/Cds/Videos/DVDs), they have far more options (extensive media, endless sites) - the world has opened up.
It's only trap now on radio
im glad i grew up with all genres of music oldschool too & just turned 16
Their grandparents were Religious the house they grew up in and didn't allow this type of music to be played or listen to
Get with the Fugees! Great messages in their music.
