- Pras shared the status of his current relationship with Fugees bandmate Lauryn Hill, revealing that he occasionally speaks with her these days. He also touched on her perpetual lateness to shows, which Pras says people should expect since it's been going on for a decade or more now.
During the conversation, Pras said he doesn't think there will ever be another Fugees reunion, and he also shared the current music he's working on, including an upcoming Haiti mixtape. You can hear the full clip up top.

Pras has some good vibes. I like hearing this dude speak. I've enjoyed the entire series of his interviews.
batty boy
He sounds slow wtf r u talking about
She is late for her second album pushing 20 years now b
I'm just on top of my game right now , Vlad Boosie Badazzz
Iron Mike
I used to listen to Lauryn Hill, and tap my feet
Then the bitch put out a CD and didn't have no beats
WOW....I remember listening to that while traveling on a Jet to Vegas to celebrate My 21st Bday That was a lifetime ago, and she never put out a second album? It was weird how she lost her mind so fast after hitting it big and she never got it back again, it's a shame
Anthony Arcanum your 21st bday sounded like it was fucking epic. I didn't even get a cake I got a Dos Equis and that's it. lol
Who knows how big the Fugees could of been if they stayed together. They had their own lane. Respected by the mainstream and backpackers. Their brand of hip hop is sorely needed in today's game.
Two Cents J this ship sailed a long time ago. accept it.
So you would rather hear mumble/trap music as opposed to artists that are actually saying something. Ok. Gotcha. 👍🏾
I'd rather hear today, Mr. 90s Universe
They were the biggest group. They just would have stayed at that level
Omni Watts To each their own newbie
Pras could easily use this as an opportunity to throw Lauryn under the bus, they don't even perform together these days. Instead, he really tried to avoid bashing Lauryn. Great guy. As much as I enjoy Lauryn Hill's music, I'm not sure if I'm going to any more of her shows after showing up 2 hrs late. My feet were killing me!
Your feet killing you had me on the floor 😂☠️
Out of all the members of the Fugees, bet you didn't think Pras would be the one with the Juice today.
lonestormtooper hilarious 😂 & true
And the brains...
Never even knew it was a third member of the fugees til now just knew Wyclef and Lauryn
@@whitekobebryant2324 lol
He was always a business man. Wyclef was the front man and Lauren was the misunderstood genius
Sooooo why not just tell Lauryn her shows are 3 hours earlier so she will have no clue that she is late??? Simple life hacks here ....
LMAO🤣🤣🤣🤣
Bruh true i have friend that is always late so i tell him to come earlier and then he comes on time
@@morjahd2842 Yeah same. Easy solution.
She'll be 6 hours late then.
@Hamza Faison yes indeed
Shes Lauryn freaking Hill‼️ she gives so much inspiration to us all. I will wait on her forever💛✨
Shiii iiiiitt 😂😂
Pras was the weakest one in the fugees, but two decades later he probably got more money and more sanity than clef and lauryn lol
Absolutely
kenny lafortune clef that haiti money
kenny lafortune or you could not go
more money than Wyclef.... yeah right loool
kenny lafortune I agree but Wycliffe got whitny hoston,destiny child and fugee royalties money
My homegirl and I love Lauryn Hill. She tried to convince me to go to a show here in Baltimore and I said HELL NO!!! I'll listen to herSpotify. She has had this reputation for years! Why the hell are people still buying tickets?
At this point, if Lauryn is on time for a show, then you should be concerned. Now imagine a Lauryn Hill x DOOM show. Lauryn arrives 5 hours late and DOOM sends up a random dude with a mask. Charge people $100 per ticket, the show will still sell out.
real talks
nigga i am screaming!!!!!!
😂😂
Facts! Lmaoff!
shit, id fall for it too
That CD that Lauryn Hill has called the Miss education of Lauryn Hill is fire. Songs on that cd I still listen to today but i would not go see her in concert.
sexy ladies only we don't need you there, plus I know yo CD bootlegged.
stacey jones screaming 😂😂😂😂
sexy ladies only 😅🤣😂
Only time this nigga smiled during the whole interview was when he was talking about Wyclef getting arrested.
Yeah dude is a hater lol
ronniemas1 He clearly said in his documentary "Skid Row" he don't like to smile but if they're paying him he'll smile all day.
You're lying tho. He smiled when asked how a collab with Young MA came about.
I saw Lauryn Hill in Philly. She was a TAD late but the 2 hour show was WORTH IT!!!!!! Her talent is unmatched. Ppl respect the artistry.
nooooo you're enabling this nonsense!! LOL
She stole the music.....it's sad to see it
Y'all never get tired of hearing that one album? It's not that deep to be waiting for her. It's just not.
I'm waiting on her to CREATE some new music...as a fellow artist...
Pras is right. Lauren Hill fans should expect to be disrespected by Lauren Hill.
I've seen Lauryn hill live. Paid 102$ a ticket for me and my mom at 17 years old. And she showed up 2 + hours late, nonetheless show was great. I still love her and her music. On that note her punctuation can always be better
money makes people lazy. If she was broke, best believe she would be on time
That’s the truth!
not necessarily. if she was messed up as addicts are, she'd probably go from broke to homeless
Man.. She was 4 hours late in Houston on a week day. The disrespect to the next person on her part is f*ckd up. I'm no longer a fan and would not go to see Lauren if the ticket was free.
That's fucked up what a way to disrespect her fans
Dont do that. It sounds like she going thru something
Ain’t gonna lie I still would try to go see the queen
Disrespectful to her team as well - they don't pay to see her, so there's absolutely no excuse.
I respect this dude he's completely upfront and honest
Pras said very Clearly. If you already know she has a record for being late to her shows, and you know this.... you cant complain. Very Simple.. IJS
I'll watch online. Her latest concert was 21 min put on by Louis Vuitton and it was impeccable. The best 20 min concert I ever seen LOL.
"What you think about Lauryn Hill missing shows?"- DJ Vlad
"Who told you that?"- Pras
Wikipedia
"fugees trying to diss now too huh?" "well i ain't prejudice I don't give a Fuck. This is what it sounds like, when we ride on our enemies!" -2pac
Matthew quijano Pras is one of "the other two" lol
Pras' attempt at justifying why Hill is always late to shows is ridiculous. If I am paying money to see someone perform, there should be zero risk on my end. You show up and you show up on time, and that's the expectation because I'm putting my $$$ down.
joe shmow his point is: don't spend money on her & complain that she came late when you know she always does it
He isn’t going to put down lauryn.
He's not justifying it. At all. He's just not falling into Vlad's traps. He's not gonna talk shit about her. Late or not. That's on HER. All he's saying is you know she's always late. If you don't like it, don't go. That's it and that's all.
Her fans should turn up 6 hours late and make her wait.
Love this brotha but that analogy about the one leg made absolutely no sense 😆😂😆😂
When you're always late, you just don't GAF. You give up being on time.
I know it’s wrong but I feel that 😂
He's just so calm and honest
i love how u can tell pras thinks about what he says before he speak
i get what Pras is saying... if you know the persons M.O. don't complain if it's business as usual. BUT, i have ZERO tolerance for lateness. AND i PAID $$$ and i support you... get your ass on time
why you paying for someone thats known to be late to her shows? lmao thats like buying season tickets for the browns and get mad when they lose all season
I saw Lauryn Hill perform at the L.A. Coliseum in 2011, she had recently given birth and somehow started right on time. Lightning in a f***ing bottle.
I feel Pras! Lauryn is notorious for being late its common knowledge. I went to a festival she performed she was 45mins late. That was the moment I decided to never pay to go see her perform. I was appreciative to see her she is an icon. The performance wasn't good. Yet im still a fan of her body of work.
it shows she has a lack of respect for the fans ... eventually fans will eventually just stop going to her shows
kayode dagbo its 2017 she still has fans???
kayode dagbo No they won't 🤷🏾♀️
kayode dagbo right, I can be a fan but I don’t have to go to A show. I value my time too!
kayode dagbo lauryn was on time when we needed her the most in 98 so stop the jokes about the one who gave us hope
Fans could be very demanding sometimes ,totally disregarding the artist's personal life. And with ms. Lauryn hill there is obviously a lot more on her table than any other random singer or rapper who either is sippin lean or on stage.
“Lauryn was on time when we needed her the most / In 98 so stop the jokes about the one who gave us hope “
Who's line is that?
nordette rapsody
Who waits for an artist for 3 hours!? Being 3 hours late is just disrespectful and basically saying that I don't give a fuck about fans
M.F. Luder in the rap game I just thought it was standard. Thats why I rarely go to concerts. door open at 7, show starts at 8, opening acts until about 12
Pras is so sensible and straight forward man.
bro im 17 saw her for the 1st time at 16 i laughed so hard i knew she would be late, she was but i didn't care because she's L boogie 😂😂
It's like that "bitch, you knew I was a snake when you picked me up" story. You get what you buy into. That's what he's saying. Right or wrong, you're paying for it knowing what you're 9 times out of 10 getting. It's logic over right or wrong. You can't control what that person does, you can only control how you respond. Deep life lesson from Dr. Pras. Free of charge. 😄
Thank u Pras about saying what needs to be said about the fans of Ms. Hill going to her concerts. You get what you paid for and your work ethics speak hella louder than your talent. If the artist can't be bothered to take responsibility to be on time for his/her appearances at an event habitually, then you, as a fan, should not be bothered to waste time and support to them.
She was 4 hours late to the show I went to. And she performed the same song 4 times lol. Crazy part is I still enjoyed it. She's genius
Lol, i like this a lot
😂😂😂😂😂
That's crazy
That's mad
Vlad always misses the point and artist tries to make
I dont think he wants them to get the point across.
He a asshole
I’m sure he gets the point he trying to say regardless it’s not right it’s a disrespect to fans
I think he s exactly on point but just doing it in a respectful manner, the problem is a lot of people don t follow
He's defending her! Give em' a round of applause. He's a gentleman.
Respect.
Loyal. Great quality ..
U shouldnt just make it ok because ur "loyal" loyalty is an ethics thing. U still need to do the right thing. If my best friend is an addict or a thief, im not gonna tell evryone that hes not because of loyalty. Im not being loyal to my friend by allowingbthem to hurt others. Help ur friend dont enable
Pras was always my favorite out of the Fugees and i like his features with PRT and the track with Bounty Killa
It's unfortunate they don't get along, backstage.
Fugees were simply amazing.
If there’s ever to be any fugees, reunion🤷🏿♂️ It’s all up to Lauryn Hill💯
THERE IS NOW AHSHSHAHAJJAKAKA
Never in my life have I ever heard anyone justify a performer being chronically late and basically telling the paying audience to "deal with it" or 'then don't attend'.. wow. Pretty sure there was a deadline to buy these concert tickets. How about we pay AFTER the concert because, Mr. Performer, that how we want to do it if you don't like it, "deal with it" or "don't come". Let's see who loses. 🤷
It's amazing how praz never answers a question
I would never pay to see her and I love her.
Lauryn Hill fans are in their 40’s and 50’s. We ain’t got the time or energy to be at a concert at midnight on a school/work night 😭😭😭
I’m in that category and get it but man the show I was at over half of them were millennials. Crazy to see because a lot of them weren’t even born or were maybe like 10 years old when the fugees were big
Lauren Hill has a good back catalogue. If you like her just buy her songs. No need to see her live. This celebrity obsessed culture is dumb as all hell and deserve everything they get.
Revenant Couldn't of said it better 👏
See an artist on stage is NB it the same. Especially with Lauryn Hill, she is so generous with her audience... That's magic
“No need to see her live”- lol, how stupid are you anyway? And then you blame it on “This celebrity obsessed culture”?? LMAO!! Oh my god, I thought I had already seen the dumbest comment on the list until now. Seriously, you’re so clueless that it’s a miracle you know how to use a computer. Live musical performances are infinitely better than just listening to the ‘back catalogue’, and it’s even funnier you’re saying this about an artist who really DOESN’T have much of a ‘back catalogue’ (it gets funnier every time I say it), so please, stop asking the world to sink to your low, low standard of music listening. If you don’t know why people want to hear live music, and you’re dumb enough to think it’s because of ‘celebrity obsession’ and not ‘good sound and live energy’, you don’t have a damn thing to add to the conversation, at all.
Live shows are how artists promote their albums across the world and make their real money. And her back catalogue alone is one loved album and a live album people dumped on due to her breakdown on it. This shit has nothing at all to do with celebrity obsession, but for earning both your dollars and the devotion of your fans.
To everyone defending Laurin:
1. Show up to your job late 2 hours every day.
2. Use Pras' one legged excuse.
3 . ???????
4. PROFIT!!!!
Best comment in this video. I would give you a bells
😂😂😂😂😂😂
If i show up to work late as often as Lauryn Hill i get fired.
Lol @ "my whole week is ruined b/c this person showed up late." I agree with Pras. You know she has a reputation for showing up late. Take it or leave it. Personally, I love her live show and everytime I've seen her perform she kills it. Can't wait to see her again. Another thing, a lot of artists show up late for their show. Rarely have I been to a show that starts on time.
I've been to too many shows. And I love Lauryn Hill but she was over 90 minutes late for a show I went to. Show was outdoors and had to end at 11. She was barely out there and it was honestly the worst show I've ever been to.
There is a difference between being 45 minutes late and 180 minutes late
I went to see Lauryn Hill at the Hollywood Bowl last year and she was only 30 minutes late, which was fine by me. I was anticipating 2 hours or so.
As much as I Idolize Mama Lauryn and Wyclef The God, They really did Pras dirty...
I CAME UP IN THE 90's & I SAID WHAT I SAID 😤😤😤😤
How they do pras dirty?
Pras doing just fine.
Pras doesn't let the interviewer control his directive. 😇✌❤🍷
Pras be looking so annoyed in these interviews. lol Bruh facial expressions never changes!
I'm hollering
I love it.
9:43 pras was like what the fuck you laughing at 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
pause at 9:44 😂😂😂😂
3:34😃
that Versace sweater is dope
I had a huge crush on this man when i was a teenager.
i love lauryn,i wish she show up on time when I see her next week
Idc how late she ever will be i will wait for her and ENJOY her shows
Sorry it is not worth the trouble waiting especially if she sings incoherently too
One of my friends went to a concert in Miami over the weekend and Lauryn Hill was onstage performing Fugees songs with Wyclef backstage (who performed separate, along with many other artists). I think its safe to say that they will never get back together.
They got back together.
Here we are in 2023 and I went to see them two nights ago… reunited and all
Would love to see them link up again. Hell, everybody else seems to be. N.E. Wu-Tang, coming out with documentaries and evertthing. Hopefully one day. Never say never Pras!
we gotta keep the hope alive
When I saw the title i died 😹😹😹😹😂😹 my girl is always late!
I seen fugees in 97 in manchester uk nas was the support act 😂😂I seen a lot of shows but this was the best I seen
That was a bogus defense to showing up late. If you a professional performer people expect a certain level of professionalism like showing up on time.
Smh all he saying is don't waste your time and money for her shows since she is known to be late
@@TobiasSaibot87 Yup, and it's a damn shame that it's the case and has to be said. People are talking about her lately again over this and almost every comment is people refusing to attend ever again and warning others thinking about going in the future. Once it hurts her pockets, there's no coming back from that. Sad part is, people WANT to support her.
Egos are hella of a thing when everyone thinks they're above the Sky 🌌 and every celebrity to me has bad Egos. People in general that aren't celebrities have bad Egos too but soon as they make there money 💰 they be on a different level in this world 🌎 and you have to catered to them be yes people to them and I'm not doing that for no one. Every generation went through people not showing up which is sad and you put your hard own money to see a performance.
Well when you're surrounded by a bunch of yes men who inflate your ego you start feeling yourself too much and when that one real dude who isn't a yes men speaks out and states what you're doing is bad than all those yes men will gang up on dude calling his ass a hater and that he wrong and you believe it and tell that real one to kick rocks.
Nice!
Rockin' the Patek.
Didn't know Lauryn Hill has been so chronically late and if that is indeed the case and she is late all the time then people that go to her shows should expect Lauryn's tardiness and not get super pissed about it. Problem is that no one likes waiting. I hate waiting, especially when the pre show entertainment is lame. You just standing there like a doofus constantly looking around for signs that Ms. Hill will appear. I would say that people should show up late to her shows to counter her lateness, but then it can backfire on you if you show up late and Lauryn is already onstage. I think this works to her disadvantage, because people don't want to be standing around like that. The show ends up being an afterthought after your 3 hour wait to see her.
Love how he always defends her :)
You heard it here first guys, L Boogie has 1 leg... thanks for clearing that up Pras.
He was using a metaphor for drugs but didn't say it out of respect. Vlad is too square just like yourself to pick it up. That is what has been the industry talk for some time. She is one of those quiet drug addicts that is lowkey with it. But she does syrup , weed(which is basically nothing harmful so i shouldn't mention that) and coke(hence the Kanye esque type of rambling she used to do on stage more often years ago)
Of course! lol Vlad and I are too square... but you... Not you... you got that special insight... gtfoh. How did your sarcasm-detector not ring out? That is not what a metaphor means. Also, he's basically being an APOLOGIST for her fuckery. My girlfriend went to her show and same bullshit.
So blame the fans that support her for not accepting her lack of appreciation and professionalism. Got it, Pras. That makes a lot of sense.
Pras is watching this interview again still tryna figure out the meme joke.
🤣🤣🤣
Love him or hate him dude got delivery.
Vlad need to interview Diamond D. He was a big influence on their album The Score
Pras, the secret of the youthness
This vlad interviews are more like an interrogation
jkm always is...no matter who's the interviewee
He rode hard for lauryn hills bs
He didn't tho. He rode for being a smart consumer.
hell yeah he did.
U do realize she been doing this 10 years right?
I wish I had watched this before I purchased tickets November 2023 🤦🏾♀️
she just disrespecting her fans by being late on every damn show. no excuses
I remember the Fugees being one of the best groups to come from the great wave of hip-hop in the ‘90s. I heard one great album.... then one very-good album.... and then suddenly they were all trying to be solo artists and they were all about 1/3 as interesting. I guess if they have enough money already, whatever, but it’s a bummer that they didn’t see the artistic value in staying together. It’s harder to take artists seriously when they start out as very ‘true to the art form’ and then abandon that just as soon as they see a path to being solo pop acts.
I get his point and I agree with him. Point blank: if you KNOW this woman is almost ALWAYS very late to her own shows then don’t invest your money and time purchasing tickets to a possible busted night! Period. The problem is he is not providing the best analogy. As an example: an artist has “one leg;” you purchase a ticket to see the artist; but you get upset because the artist is not dancing like Janet Jackson and you say “Man! This artist isn’t entertaining like seeing Janet; this artist doesn’t even DANCE!!!”
Here’s the reality: Loren Hill is always late or a no show. So, if you invest your money in seeing this woman you should KNOW this woman WILL start late and she really might not show up…AT ALL!!! The TRUE question I am bothered by is: why the hell is this interviewer asking HIM about this grown adult woman who is an experienced artist but shows up late as a SOLO ARTIST??? This is Pras. Period. This isn’t Loren nor Loran’s rep. So, why ask HIM?
daaaaaaannnngggg
FACTS!!
His sweater is tight
Rayzenbran boy your a special kind of dumb
BIG JOON you're*
he dont mean its small or actually tight, he means it looks good.
Funny asf!
the fugees had great music man I wish they would have stayed together a Lil while long. the tribe called quest too
Axl Rose was notorious for that shit...
I'm 3 minutes into the video and it's still talking about Hill being 3 minutes late
Lauryn Hill stay pullin David Ruffin moves lol
Im not sure what's worse.
Him rationalizing this
Or the comments
Pras underrated man
Back in like 93-95 yall came to Hampton university and she didnt show ✌🏾😢
What kind of explanation is this? You have to respect and value your fans. Who has time buy ticket then wasting time around waiting for refunds on tickets. Lord, why?
She was late here in Texas. She looked and sounded drunk. Never again.
Damn Pras is one cold cat
I never understood the lateness either. It is disrespectful to fans and the venue workers.
I've been to many a Rap show and they're USUALLY late and it doesn't make the news. I've also been to a L Boogie show (recently) and she was on time and did a great show.
