--------------------------------------------------
"Doo Wop (That Thing)" is the debut solo single from American recording artist Lauryn Hill. The song is taken from her debut album, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill. Written and produced by Hill, the song was released as the album's lead single in July 1998. It was Hill's first and only US Billboard Hot 100 number-one to date; it debuted at number one on the Hot 100, making it the tenth song in the chart's history to do so, the first debut single to do so, and the first female rapper to do so. The song experienced similar success abroad, reaching number one in Iceland, number two in Canada, number three in the United Kingdom and number eight in Australia. The song won Best Female R&B Vocal Performance and Best R&B Song at the 1999 Grammy Awards on February 24, 1999.
The song is a warning from Hill to African-American men and women caught in "the struggle". Both the women who " be a hard rock when they really are a gem", and the men who are "more concerned with his rims, and his Timbs, than women", are admonished by Hill, who warns them not to allow "that thing" to ruin their lives. The chorus has been praised for promoting egalitarianism between the sexes.
In terms of production value, Hill borrows heavily from elements of soul music and doo-wop, lending credence to the song's title. One such example is the opening riff of late 1960s soul hit "Stop Her On Sight (S.O.S.)" by Edwin Starr which Hill uses certain distinct elements of, as can be heard in the opening of this song.
Hill's first solo singles were from two 1997 movie soundtracks: "The Sweetest Thing" from Love Jones and a cover of Frankie Valli's 1967 song "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" for Conspiracy Theory.
"Doo Wop", released in 1998 as her first solo song from her debut album, was a major success. It became the 10th single to debut at number-one on the Billboard Hot 100, and the first by a rap artist. It stayed there for two weeks in the fall of 1998. On Billboard's R&B Singles chart, it reached #2 for three weeks in November 1998, held out of the top spot by "Nobody's Supposed to Be Here" by Deborah Cox. It won two Grammy Awards the following February. The success of "Doo Wop" and the Miseducation of Lauryn Hill album established Hill as a success outside of her group, The Fugees. In 1999, "Doo Wop (That Thing)" was ranked at number two to find the best music of 1998 on The Village Voice's Pazz & Jop annual critics' poll, after Fatboy Slim's "The Rockafeller Skank".
"Doo Wop (That Thing)" is included as number 359 on the Songs of the Century list. At the Grammy Awards of 1999, the song won two awards: Best R&B Song and Best Female R&B Vocal Performance. The song's music video won four 1999 MTV Video Music Awards for: Best Female Video, Best R&B Video, Best Art Direction, and Video of the Year.

The lyrics are soooooo real and 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I love it!!!!! She called men out on their BS and how they ruin our lives just being semen donors... 💯
@@SuperTiaanBro There not stupid, a lot of black women especially nowadays talk about cultural appropriation and how women of other races shouldn’t wear their hair styles even if they paid their own money to a black stylist, yet they get European wigs and have ppl of other races contribute to their looks like nails and lashes ect. The Korean part is probably for the sake of rhyming and the fact Asian ppl own the stores. And there are plenty of women then and now who show off their ass and their body to crappy people or the public just for money which in a way is selling your soul.
@@criminalpotato3273 The Korean line is still dumb because it's not true. She should've just come up with different lyrics instead of saying something idiotic for the sake of rhyming. Also I think black women should be proud of their heritage and their natural bodies, but Lauryn Hill comes off in a way that sounds like she's saying, "Don't intertwine their cultures with ours", rather than be proud of yourselves. Also saying Black women talk about cultural appropriation is generalization of black women.
@@SuperTiaanBro Just because YOU think it’s stupid, doesn’t mean it is. Where I live there are a ton of Korean and Chinese nail salons so let’s not assume that just because they’re Asian they’re all the same. I’ve come across quite a few “Kim’s Nails” and Kim is a Korean last name. And yes, when weaves are made to give the illusion of straight/European hair, you can call it selling out or even self hate. If black women were allowed to embrace their natural hair textures in the past, I doubt so many of them would be wearing some Brazilian woman’s hair on their head today. Wen cultures are combined, some of each separate culture is lost and when new generations are born, they start off missing those parts of their own culture. That’s why most black people in America know nothing of their own roots (although it was more like forced assimilation because of slavery). Look at the stories of biracial adults. Even in a single house where 2 ethnicities that have 2 separate cultures can never balance it so their children get even exposure to it all. You must’ve gotten your feelings hurt because you like the women she described in the song.
Lauryn hill was just out of this world 😍
Lauryn hill and NAS were so woke it’s crazy
And there were so underrated ..everyone slept on there asses
They continue to sleep on em!!Smh...
Please don't put that "woke" bs on them 🤦🏽
So profound " my man and my woman" don't forget about the Deen, Sirat- Al mustageem" before I knew what she was talking abou, it always gave me chills like when you don't know what the artist is trying to convey but you have a sense. Those lyrics are so thought provoking...
Was she part of the Nation of Islam?
@@xasanbayr i understand what you meant and i don’t think she is. Islam is a religion created by the prophet muhammad pbuh muslim is a
person who is apart of the religion
You know there is a sect called "Nation of Islam" Founded by Wallace Fard Muhammed?
@@clocker9000 nation of islam is a political organisation for muslims in the us, stop acting like you know everything. they even capitalized the letters 💀
I love this song but I find it a bit sad that it is more relevant today than it was when it came out in ‘98.
Everything about this song bangs and her message is on point. If you like this song I already know you have good taste. Music like this only comes around once in a while. Thank you Lauryn
yessir
I love this song not like
Still 100% relevant 20years later. It’s a cut!!!😊
12 years old and love old school music thanks mommy 😘 ❤ my best friend my 🌎
That beat is smoking the lyrics too
I’ve heard this song before a million times.
But today listening to it, brought me back to a time when I was a young kid, still hopeful and alive.
❤🥳🤩💕
Lyrics still hold up. 👑👑👑👑👑
As a Korean who leans towards Islam, the references made in this song really give me a surprise and joy. This song is actually a very useful and valuable moral lesson to males and females that is applicable universally, hidden beneath a timelessly classic piece of music.
Why the fuck would you include your race and religion as if it changes anything about what you said. Literally what you just did is one of the major problems with modern society. So busy being associated with something you have no choice over you can’t even be proud of something you did choose without first identifying that.
@@jhonreckner9155 You are not important.
What about you are you important??
When she say a Muslim sleeping with the jinn You don't hear it in the UK radio stations.
How mad that is 😐
@@samicarter1527 More important than that jhonreckner, yes.
“Showing off ya a$$ cause you’re thinking it’s trending girlfriend” 🔥 beat and lyrics are perfect!
❤Lauryn Hill❤ How you gone win when you aint right with in! COME AGAIN!!!
These lyrics are out of this world 🥰🥰🥰
Woman can sing!
& rap this is why Lauryn doesn’t do shows cause she’s not compromising herself to sell out unlike these rappers & singers today that’s why the industry kicked out Lauryn Hill cause they want to push their agenda & be what they want her to be she said she ain’t doing it
I love how the meaning of “that thing” changes
Felt like hearing this out of nowhere. Still timeless
"How you gonna when you ain't right within?"
I woke up at 6am in the morning with a fucked up mood then turned on the radio for some news , then suddenly comes the lyrics part " that thing that thing..." I said daaaamn that's an amazing soundtrack to boost the mood for a busy day , believe it or not during whole day i kept repearting tht part of this song even at work 😁🤭🤭👍
My fav part of this great song is the little kids POV on love at the end..
💯💯💯
I heard her 1st time w/ fugees: killing me softly. Originally i bought the cd for that sustained deep bass chord in the chorus. (If you haven't listen on a good system with low end bass qualities) the song is amazing.
The most underrated bop from the 90s.
Thank you fir posting the FULL version
As salaam u alaikum
First time looking at the lyrics…wow
Timeless…
This still slaps
Lauryn's my sister forever 🔥
Beatiful mane 🤚🏾🤚🏾😔😔🗣🗣📢📢🔥🔥
I love Lauryn Hill❤
Lauryn fans knows all the lyrics to hee songs
I like how she doesn't just say that the man just wants to do things then leave, but she always says that men have to watch out for women
1000%, It goes both ways!
💯
My first hip hop. Love it
Respect is only the minimum
LOVE this jam!!👍
random city radio station jam at 2 am
In always heard her music growing up. But i never seen her face before. She's much prettier than I thought
Wonderful lyrics hit my soul
Still love her 🔥
i love her still.
Lauryn is only human"...
Rmx done, dope sound 🔥🔥🔥
THAT THIIINGGGGGGGGGGGG
Big up kman
And never called you again ….
Those are some deep lyrics 😂😂😂😂
Does anyone know the name to the beat on interlude at the end???
Fr I was wondering the same thing, because while I was listening to it I felt so calm or at peace :)
Maybe they made it for the album just a guess.
I used to love this song when I was a Kafir and now I’m a Muslim and reading the lyrics I didn’t know she was talking about Islam and religion.
Does anybody know what instrumental is playing at the end?
I also wanna know
This
Can somebody please tell me or get me the instrumental / interlude behind the kids talking at the end ? I just wanna hear that.
Damn right we're all about dating
i like the music video version more. this is the album version
Lauryn Hill did her thing in the game & she left she’s better than Nicki Minaj Lauryn would destroy Nicki
How did we go from this to WAP?! Shameful.
Very shameful. There is no music with meaningful lyrics out there anymore.
Cause they promote Nicki Minaj & the rest of the female rappers out there who rap about booty & sex they’re all sellouts
What does she has to do with wap
@@maryam1952
Nothing.
She’s saying how did we get from a song such as this to trash music like WAP today which is the exact polar opposite of what this songs message is trying to convey.
"Don't forget about the Deen Sirat al-Mustaqim"!!!
Who says that on a track unless you're a real, deep-thinking, conscious, well-read, wise-intelligent, enlightened, original emcee with deep-rooted antecedents? These dumb-ignorant and naked artists today ain't saying any of this on records!!!!
Is Nicki, Cardi, Beyonce, Rihanna, Swift, Gaga, Miley, Katy and all the other naked, a**-showing artists saying anything this conscious, this deep, this thought-provoking or even anything political?
I didn't even know that's what she was saying until today!!!!
I absolutely ❤ Lauryn Hill and Rohan didn't know what he had!!!
Marry me, Lauryn!!!😉
Period
Is it true she got brainwashed by the seed of an icon?
Nope!
No I don’t listen to her as she pretty much predicted the future today’s time that’s one thing is scary about artist like her DMX Eminem they predict the future in AC was coming and they tell us it’s almost like a goodie my cell therapy if you listen to the songs like this carefully is predicting in today’s time even with the Bible it talks about today’s time so they’re talking about the Bible but they are doing it and wrap for more songs version
