Fugees - Nappy Heads (Official HD Video) 

Who came here because the new school music just ain't hitting like old school? ❤️❤️

I never fear the Ku Klux my own clan is actin up..... #bars

The beat sounds so soft but hard at the same time. Such a classic song.

3 WORDS! REAL HIP HOP #PERIOD

1994, I was 16, working at McDonalds, my boy came in with a cassette tape of this song he dubbed off the radio. I had never heard anything like this, ahead of their time. Real Hip Hop. Man the good old days!

Wyclef was the best and making up insanely catchy choruses that make absolutely no sense.

This is so dope. The music video, all their verses, their chemistry together, the beat. 90's hip-hop is so timeless.

Such a classic. I can listen to the instrumental to this song all day.

Maybe it's just because The Score is one of the greatest Hip-Hop albums in history but Blunted On Reality is still better than most things I've heard. I think people started to realize that just because The Score is the masterpiece - there's no reason to sleep on B.O.R. L.Boogie always kills it with her verses - there's just never been anyone like her (male or female) before or since. Whenever I meet someone who doesn't know anything about Hip-Hop and is turned off by all of today's crap - I show them Fugees, Nas, A Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul, Arrested Development, Common, Mos Def and all the rest. It's like a new religion for them and I've put them on the right path lol

Wyclef is underated as a lyricist!

Lauryn was known for singing. However, I always thought she was at her best Rhyming....thats just me though.

Who’s here in 2024 !?

wyclef killed it in this song....

"Now we on some new stuff, never fear the Ku Klux, my whole clan is actin up I blame it on the Philly blunts..." Whooo, L Boogie at her finest!!

Wyclef is widely underrated as a Emcee

Fugees never got it wrong. This song is awesome even in 2023.

Yeah Lauren is a powerhouse singer. However, if you're a real hip hopper, you KNOW how good her delivery, flow, tone and arrangements are as a real MC.

I'm a Brooklyn girl. born and raised, this run through my VAINS!!

The Fugees - on of the best, socially conscious hip hop, reggae, pop groups. Simply awesome.

I loved this song from the moment I heard it and saw the video...I don't know why is this album so overlooked...I used to listen to it all the time back in '94...This song was one my favorites during the summer of 94

Lauryn Hill ❤❤

The baseline in this song is fucking wicked!

How can anyone dislike this!?

This was a time when Digable Planets, Redman, Nas, Mobb Deep, Kieth Murray, BIG, Wu Tang, Boot Camp, and Naughty who were all from the same region were dropping but not any of them sounded alike.

It was First Music Video of Fugees I Have Seen And Immediately Fell In Loved

I love Wyclef's verse

The 90's were so sick. Fugees, Bone Thugs, Pac, Biggie, Naughty by Nature, Old school Snoop, Do or Die, Twista, Outkast, 8 Ball and MJG, Triple 6, Wu Tang, Mos Def, Q TIp, EPMD, Mob Deep, and this list could literally fucking go on forever. I do realize some of these people still are doing their thing but the 90's was when they shined and Hip Hop was the shit. There is still good rap but you gotta find it. Its not on the mainstream.

1994, 16 years old, I was working at McDonalds, my boy slid me this single cassette tape. Classic. Timeless.

she has a great voice for rapping freestyling and singing

Salaam Remi caught a body on this 1....1 of the illest beats of all time...Classic Record!

They killed this still 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 in 2018 & beyond. Shout out to The Fugees👍

it took me a couple watches but that’s Tame One (RIP) and El Da Sensei from the Artifacts in the circle headnoddin !

Nobody can fade Miss Hill

The charisma Wyclef has is UNMATCHED. This will always be my jam!

My god Lauren Hill was so beautiful back in the day

...what a lot of people don't realise is that before the Fugees, nothing in hip-hop sounded like this. Absolutely nothing. Lots of groups have riffed off them ever since, but they came with a new approach to hip-hop. Props to the nth. We clearly need more of this spirit. Bless up, Fugees.

The 90s!!! We 1970s babies represented during those years....

The Fugees are a once-in-a-lifetime collective of raw, organic talent you hardly ever find these days. So authentic. Future generations will watch and learn.

When I first saw this my jaw dropped. I was in the military watching TV when this joint came on. Never heard anything so dope in my life!! My GAWD the 1990’s ruled. 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Nothing like this old style hip hop I miss these days wish I could go back in time I member I was about 13 when this joint hit such good times thanks.for the memories

Great music is timeless. The Score is a great album.

The Fugees came to my high school in 94 to perform I swear Wyclef had the same Firemen Coat on. lol #Irvingtonhighschool

Wyclef is underated as a lyricist!

I'm about to cry right now, This is beautiful. I wish I was born earlier. God I wish they didn't break up.

How can we possibly find Drake and all those others, better than this? I miss when music had meaning!!!

Back when Hip Hop made sense. This joint's pure poetry. 90's hip hop timeless indeed.

Wyclef went HAM!!!!

Respect to this lady , she really killed it in this track

Great I'm older this still slap

My favorite rap group every fugees for life........

wyclef killed this- he was all over the place - there's no way not to like this

I'm from Chicago but I remember thinking Jersey was so dope when it came to rappers...Jersey is basically NYC metro but they definitely had their own distinct style. Now I see rappers like Fetty Wap who is from Jersey and u would never ever know because he sounds like he's from Bankhead. Like are their anymore original artists from the NYC metro area that are true to the landscape but still commercially appealing? The answer in 2015 as of right now is no. And think NYC metro is over 20 million people and there's zero rappers out today under 25 putting out this type of vibe. Yeah somebody might give me one or two names but back then u had too many mc's popping up out the sewer with their own style and too many records you had to get. Back then u could go boutique shopping for hip hop tapes and cd's if u lived in an urban area. I remember back in like 95 my dad threw out all my tapes I dubbed because that's the only thing I cared about was hip hop. Sadly, public education was not sparking my brain and I had like 100's of tapes with all type of rare blends like this song. I got reconnected to this song by listening to Power 102.9 in Atlanta which plays NOTHING but classic hip hop music hosted by DJ Nabs. So if u live in a big urban city y'all should start requesting classic hip hop stations because the music and culture is not going to have a rebirth. If u weren't around back then u missed out period.

Was always a rock listener.. anything with guitar was my jam. Especially from the nineties. Loved nirvana, smashing pumpkins, Bush, 311, and sublime. Now, it wasn't until living in Tokyo that I was turned on to jazz for they love to play that in stores and restaurants here. Thought jazz was alright but never considered how monumental this music truly was from the culture to the influence it had. That got me into lo-fi and old rap and I thank god it did. Never tasted such flavor that is found in all music until I tapped into these genre and gave it an honest try when I was finally ready to. This being said I just unlocked more culture that was waiting for me and others that haven't sought it out yet when the lyric "never had to battle with my bulletproof vest"... always thought it was Sublime's 'What I Got' was the first to phrase it. I was mistaken. So for any late hip-hop bloomers or young ones that find this comment. I hope you keep looking into other good artists and unlocking more connections because musical tessellations like I've explained are a musicians gold. I am so happy for hip-hop.

Straight 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥... Heard this the other day for the first time in YEARS and had it on repeat since... NOTHING will ever compare to 90's Hip Hop

This takes me back to high school. The very first album I bought was this one. I played the hell out of the tape. This was my fave song on the album....memories....

The fugees is definitely part of hip hop history and black culture.

Happy Nappy 20th Anniversary everyone! Fugees - one of the best music groups of all time regardless of genre. Thank god they came along. And no, most Hip Hop artists do not or never have promoted dark skin black women in their videos that's why a lot of people literally 'bugged out' when they saw Lauryn. Yes - dark skin black women are equal in the 'really pretty' or 'glamorous' tag. If people needed Lauryn to show them, then it is their shame and our gain...

Nice song to pump while you cruising at night with city lights east NY ...

Wyclef had such a unique flow.

Dope. I mean this just is the vibe of the 90's. RIP hip hop cuz there aint nothing out with the vibe this got. I was head bobbin then, and I'm head bobbin now. Ya'll got work to do. Kendrick Lamar cant be the only one.....Joey Badass is dope too.

they killed this cut! one of there best hits

Lauryn Hill greatest female mc of all time

I used to be a hothead listening to Onyx and Wu-Tang, and a part of the hardcore metal scene, but Fugees are always nice to hear. Great group.

Still can't believe Lauren Hill went to Columbia for a year and Pras was at Yale before dropping out to pursue their careers. I wonder if they regret that now?

im only 32 but its still kinda sad thinkin back to these times when this came out, shit has changed so much

Real head banger body rockn classic 2016 rap clowns take notes

Lauren is what happens when you don't sell out. Nikki Minaj is what happens when you do sell out... God Bless you Lauren, we know you kept it real and didn't sell out!!

Shout out to Clef for always reppin Haiti 🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹

The beat is so subtle but I’m sitting here damn near breaking my neck bumpin this

Such a good group! All 3 with 3 different rap styles. And that more advanced bassline that shows up, so well executed. :]

bruh. that Louis Armstrong impersonation though lol.

"I'm a Libra yall!" (I really am, Libras represent)

2:49 my favorite part of the song

Wyclef is underated as a lyricist! Especially on this song.

One of the best albums out at the time, but not recognised enough for it!

Their most underrated song.

Now you wouldn't find many people who even know Wyclef raps. He is crazy nice, esp coming up in the 90-94 era where the exaggerated flow was king

this song randomly just popped into my head today (july 8, 2021). had to pull it up and get blessed by it once again! 27 years later STILL a hip-hop CLASSIC!!!

This takes me back to my childhood and all the fun I had in 94 when this track dropped. Miss those days. Brooklyn!

I needed to hear this. It just reset my life.

✊🏾🖤✊🏾

True artists.

Dang... Song brings back memories. I didn't get MTV until I was in like 7-8th grade. This was the first music vid i saw on there. Bought the single cassette the next day.

I've only just heard this tune.. omg one of their best. We need em back!

This was just pure magic. Real hip-hop

I never used to appreciate rap music like this when I was younger but i sure wish i did cause rap is trash in this generation

I just heard this song today on mtvjams on Saturday ayy

Classic music will forever live on!!!! Had the biggest crush on laryn Hill in highschool...

She’s good at singing and Rapping and that so within five always life’s about her.

Just head boppin' to this sweet classic jam or dance people...enjoy

Dang...they don't make music like this anymore. Thank you for posting this.

I was in college from 91 to 95 at an HBCU and the music was amazing!! Blessed I was able to witness 💯

The blacker the man the better the next man......that hit ma soul Pras

Why did pras just randomly came out of a car trunk @ 2:28....lol

This is real rap. Fact  ☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️👍👍👍👍👍
