Must have missed it when I searched for it. Oh well. This deserves another thread.

It's a classic hit with a cool video concept and a great message.

This is one of my favorites from her, but I would place it behind both "Ex-Factor" and "Can't Take My Eyes off of You"

[Dammn Baby]

I liked this once. Miseducation was an incredibly overrated album.

[Daniel Shywaoub]

After all these decades, I finally got my claws on the unedited version this year; PM if you need one too.

[bjordan]

This song is still f**king awsome.

You mean it exists? Yes please! :o

I went to an art showcase yesterday and after the obligatory house mixes the DJ dropped this and the atmosphere completely shifted. Everybody starting dancing, singing and rapping out of nowhere as if Lauryn herself stepped into the room. Even the artists themselves who where showcasing their work said f#ck it for 4 minutes and joined in.

[Fat Ass Kelly Price]

This song never gets old. As a 1993 baby, it's one of the first songs/videos I remember happening (This + Heartbreaker by Mimi). The song is too fucking good.

Hey I'm a 1993 baby also and I live for the 90's R&B/Hip Hop. Miseducation of Lauryn Hill is the best hip hop album that was released in 1998. I still play the album after all these years.

[grandelf]

I'd say it's incredibly overrated, not sure how it became such a big hit and propelled the album to be a huge seller...

[surfy]

Just listened to this for the first time (I was sheltered as a child, so forgive me.) And this song is freaking amazing! Wow!!!!

[bjordan]

This song will never leave the radio. I still love this song to death. It was getting airplay before the album was released in August 1998. Power 106 and 92.3 The Beat played three cuts from the album prior to the release such "Can't Take My Eyes Off You", "Lost Ones" and "Doo-Wop (That Thing)".

[Agent Yoncé]

Good times! Very fun video!

[Daniel Shywaoub]

Alright, we're rerunning the show with the unedited version ... one last chance to catch it before it's retired for perpetuity!

Showin' off your ass 'cause you're thinkin' it's a trend
GIRLFRIEND, let me break it down for you again!

Love this song!

My fave song by her.

[leonagwen]

Classic.

[Deleted]

Love everything about this. Lyrics, message and video are on point. Great classic and the album is one the best ever imo.

[B-Boy]

I had the CD single with the Gordon's Dub mix. It has a different feel from the original version.

[Caviar]

Easily my favorite song by her.

Ex-Factor and Nothing Even Matters swaps out that title from time-to-time along with this. This song sparks pure joy and man do I want a revival of live instruments in Hip-Hop.

AMEN!

[bjordan]

This song has stood the test of time after 21 years. This is real hip hop not that mumbling crap.

[disman00911]

I always hated this song due to excessive overplay on B96 and probably WGCI too.  Plus that chorus ("That Thing, That Thing, TTHHAATT TTTTHHHIIIINNNGG!") got on my nerves.   I prefer "Ex-Factor" as well as her material with the Fugees.

found an older duplicate thread on this song and should merge:

#253 on Billboard's 500 Greatest Pop Songs

You Know What It Is: Angelic harmonies, a crisp piano melody and truth-dropping bars forming the breakout hit from one of the most influential hip-hop albums of all time.

Coming Around Again: Alicia Keys stepped down from her duties as the 2019 Grammy Awards host for a musical segment she called “Songs I Wish I Wrote.” Going back and forth between two grand pianos, she played a medley of songs including Roberta Flack’s “Killing Me Softly With His Song” and Coldplay’s “Clocks,” before wrapping it up with a snippet of the former Fugees member’s soulful solo breakthrough.

These Words: Hill drops words of wisdom for men and women throughout the empowerment anthem, but one verse stands out among the rest: “Girlfriend, let me break it down for you again/ You know I only say it ’cause I’m truly genuine/ Don’t be a hard rock when you really are a gem.”
