Yesterday, I just popped her cd into my cd player, considering that I've never listened to the entire album to begin with. But, I did and I realized that it's a pretty solid effort. I really like this song a lot. How well did this do?
All in all, a great 2nd single, following "Doo-Wop (That Thing)."
Also, I think we've waited long enough for a proper second album...

This is my favorite song ever done by Lauryn, with the Fugees or solo. It's so soulful. Santana's guitar solo is great also. If I did a Top 50 of the past five years, no doubt this would be on it.
As for the sophomore album, it's been almost six years, but Lauryn is struggling with the pressure of following up the most successful female hip-hop crossover of all time. Not to mention, she is going through a depression and is constantly mentioning the svengali.

One of my favorite songs on the album.
I love the part where she's like "care for me, care for me...." and then the guitar solo.

I also love this song! I got sick of it after it hit #1 on both of my charts but now I'm back to loving it again! Were there any remixes to this track?

I have a mix of it on the "Everything Is Everything" single (it doesn't have a guitar solo so it isn't what you people are talking about).

This is the best song off the album. I think this peaked at #6 on my chart. I'm a little surprised it never hit the pop chart, after the longevity of "Doo Wop." Maybe it was too straight-up soul.

I remember the video...she's in a room/loft/apartment, wearing all white, sitting on a couch, walking around
but I forget how the song goes! I know it is slower than "Doo Wop"
I do remember liking it, though

A soul masterpiece. The best song on her album as well.
Too bad she can't get herself together though.

Just put this on my IPOD. This is too beautiful for words. Im confident Lauryn can top this effort with her next follow up.

My favorite Lauryn song. This should have gotten the success that went to "Doo Wop."

I like it. Emancipation, you mentioned that this was the biggest hip-hop crossover album ever? Is that true?
