      More Lauryn Hill!
      The ENTIRE album “The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill” is top tier.
      From her Wiki page:
      “In addition to being named one of the 50 Great Voices by NPR, Hill was listed as one of the 200 Greatest Singers of All Time by Rolling Stone. In 2015, she was ranked as the greatest female rapper by Billboard. Her other accolades include eight Grammy Awards-the most for any female rapper.”
      “At the 41st Grammy Awards, she set the record for the most nominations in one night for a female, and became the first rapper to win Album of the Year.”

      How about elo? The song is called the fall. Use the video from the movie Xanadu next would be enigma either sadness or the rivers of belief or kilo Ali? Do you hear what I hear or cocaine? Maybe some 2 live Crew from as nasty as they want to be album. The rapping Duke or Curtis blow basketball or LL Cool. J. Deepest bluest or Ice t I'm your Pusher

    When The Fugees dropped this, I heard it at 10pm on the radio, on Funkmaster Flex's show, it was basically being debuted at this point. The next morning I went to Tower Records to find the album. There was a cardboard sign taped to the wall that said-'the song killing me softly is by Lauren Hill and the Fugees, the album is not out yet'. That is how hot this was, the entire album is a monster from the first second to the last.

    Both of these were absolutely bangers. Roberta Flack when she signs just makes you want to close your eyes and listen. The Fugees version is a head bopping vibe. Both are fire. Love your reaction to both songs.

  • @ronnieguillot8519
    @ronnieguillot8519 Před 4 dny

    In my opinion...Lauren Hill has one of the best voices in the history of humanity.... if you don't feel something when she sings, you better head back to the graveyard before they call you in as missing....ya dig?

    Roberta! Lauren! Stop! You keep stepping up the game, Stax! Great work!
    If I'm not mistaken, this was Roberta's song to Donny (Hathaway).✌️🎶

  • @susanlawens3776
    @susanlawens3776 Před 15 dny +1

    Yeah, you gotta give props to both artists, Roberta Flack and the Fugees, both are legendary. And for a future reaction, maybe do Enya's "Boadicea", and then do the Fugees "Ready or Not", which plays a sample of Enya throughout the song? Not actually a remake, but would be interesting and fun to see your reaction to both songs, because what the Fugees did with that sample is a lot.

    • @RayfordRaySiegel
      @RayfordRaySiegel Před 15 dny +1

      Him just listening to Enya would be good, too. I recommend "Only Time" and "A Day Without Rain", which is also my favorite album from her.

    so excited you reacted to Fugees. They were huge when they came out. you may wanna react to "ready or not"
    also, I hope you can react to Lauryn Hill after she went solo. I believe she's a musical genius. you can check "everything is everything", "final hour", or "ex factor"
    cheers :)

    OOOOO Lauryn Hill is one of my guilty pleasures. That woman is an amazing musician. Please, PLEASE, for the love of all the gods... Do yourself a solid and check out her MTV Unplugged album. The whole thing, even if in your spare time. Sit down with a good set of headphones. But specifically the songs (in order) Mr. Intentional, I Find It Hard to Say (Rebel), Just Like Water, I Get Out. I cannot express in words how these very specific songs changed my life during a time where I questioned everything in my late 20's early 30's and beyond. Changed my thinking, encouraged me to be me, and gave me great strength during some of the worst of my days on this earth.
    These are not incredibly well known but you can introduce your audience to them. I'm sure some of your viewers already know of them. Another amazing, well known song, is Doo Wop (That Thing) which I will eventually be doing a compilation on.

    Even though I really like the Fugee version, and have the album and enjoy it still, the version with Roberta Flack is so light weight, like a knife right into the heart exactly as the text says.

    Let’s Gooo!!
    Fugees - The Score is a great album to do a full reaction too. Like you did Paul’s Boutique.
    Lauren is a queen who can sing and rap with the best. Then you have Wyclefs musical genius and Pras smooth rap style. One of the best albums of the 90’s regardless of genre.

    The original version, which is by Lori Lieberman. It was released in 1972. The Roberta Flack version was released in 1973. A lot of people make the mistake of thinking that she was the original artist to record it. Neither of them wrote it, and they do sing it quite differently. The Fugees covered it in the style of Roberta Flack's version.

    The Fugees (Foo, not Few) were definitely one of my favorite Hip Hop groups. They do a perfect fusion of rap, reggae, R&B, and soul. Check out No Woman, No Cry for some of their reggae flavor.
    BTW, I was going to suggest this pairing as a two-fer. You beat me to it!

      No, Fugees was short for refugees, so technically Stax is correct.

    Love the concept bro, great reaction. There's another version of this song done by Al B. Sure, and his version is fire too. If you get a chance check that out too. Looking forward to your Prince reactions, I think you go rock with him a whole lot. Especially Purple Rain, it's a banger. God bless bro, the channel is lit.

    P.S. Saw your vid on Scruface Jean's BBL Drizzy! That was💯🔥🔥🔥 Don't know if you heard, but Kendrick took the copyright off all his diss tracks so reaction channels can make that money... Just FYI bro. 😎 Stay up BIG STAX! Much love from Cali! 🫡
