Talib Kweli - Ms. Hill Lyrics

Can’t ever get over this song. Always of my tops ❤️

I'm white, but this song still makes me cry. Black people are the chosen people, no lie. They are the Israelites. The curses of Deuternonium 28 don't fit the Jews, they fit the African Americans, the Aboriginals and the Melanisians. The white Jews never got iron around their necks until they were destroyed, they were never put on slaveships, they didn't lose their identity, and their children were not sold and their families didn't fall apart. Only black people fit the curses from Deuteronium 28 and Isiah. It's the truth.

Beautiful track the beat gets me!!!!!

Wow I forgot how good this song is

2019 and this made her Unplugged even more amazing! #Homage

RIP words with meaning

This song still goes hard. This brings me back to a time when my big bro visited for the summer cuz he lived in another city. He loaded this song onto my iPod. Good times man.

still so cool!!

They don't like what you got to say but they still ask you to come, woah that's powerful sis!

Love you Lauryn, forever and a day. Sorry us brothers are so weak and let y'all down again and again. You are infinitely beautiful and we'll forever thank you. And bless Kweli for bein the fuckin man. God I miss hip hop.

Fugazi lyrics choose different link

Damn it’s a perfect flow

Yo, who dis?

2018 🔥🔥🔥

Best song ever by talib kweli

Real hip hop!! 🎶🔥💯

This Song is More then Straight Fire

ms. hill...

Talib should have made one solo album (reflection Eternal) and hung up the Mic like Lauren did. RE couldnt be out done

Still listening today

What now??

No, i don't want Babylon to Burn. I want Babylon to LEARN. track is still dope as fuck tho.

This is a timeless track, Talib you did your thang on here G.

talib kweli got mad lyrical skills

Richard Sneed type in *abstract commitment contradictions* its way better than this

best by talib

"The devil's last wish is a queen to rise passed bitches.."

One of the greatest lines in all of Hip-Hop.

such a dope beat

Abstract made it better

Real talk 2k17

2017 - 2018 still bangingg

"With lyrics"

Shit can bring a tear to my eye....that's power

Shit can bring a tear to my eye....that's power

Ben Kweller, baby

THIS SONG...

I miss not having to struggle to understand wtf they were saying and have lyrics that mean something

sample from Ben Kwellers "In Other Words"

The hook of this song is in Absolute Drift.

Talibs flow in that first verse is kinda bad....

2017 and this is and always will be better than all this new fake rap.

It's better than the old fake rap too. But there is a lot of new rap that kicks ass and has a good message too.

Cody Mensing i agree

I like how he raps about the past present and future. and about what's going on in the world.

Cody Mensing yeah that trash trap rap

really tough to rap along even with the lyrics

shit is fire

eres muy cansino tio...

Still pumping this in 2016

anthony jones 9-21-18

Gave birth to a new sound like Donda West!

dopest tribute

This song right here! Brings back memories of those long walks in the snow during the winter.

Anyone here from Absolute Drift?

Lol I just made a comment about that before I saw this.

Come back Ms. Hill <3

Miss this song on 016?

This song still banging

Absolute banger

Man this song is still epic. Nobody deserves a sick hip-hop song dedicated to her more than Lauryn, true queen!

Ben Kweller is the shit Talib has good taste in music

Method man radio brought me here

same I knew about him but not just thus song

+Jamarius Newton this song is trash my dude

+PapiGomez Tf you talking about lol no good music but everyone is untitled yo their opinion

Talib Kweli brought me here.

I wish this music could revived... The era of rap is kind of death now...

Kendrick, cole, hopsin, mos def, isaiah rashad, gambino.. Eminem
Shall i continue?

@Untitled dude most good rappers from the 90s are done with their career or death, most of the ones you have mentioned are NOT old school singers

ah ok i missunderstood that
(English is not my main language :-)

@Untitled haha mine either i'm spanish :)

Why isn't this on iTunes??

Uncredited sample from another artists song apparently.

Ben Kweller - In Other Words

As most have already pointed out, he says "heel" not "hill." However, it's a use of double entendre. I always thought it was a Biblical reference of crushing the head of Satan/Babylon (since she often made Biblical references in her lyrics).

+Marlyn Thomas Think he simply means "uplift the downtrodden" but rhyming with "real."

Marlyn Thomas uplift and heal

cause they haters

hip hop needs another miseducation of MsHILL

or at least a new Beautiful Struggle

why would anyone dislike this song

must be robots

Chorus on this songs great 👍👌👌

This song isn't from Eardrum it's from Right About Now

stacks era n da hella bent degenerates brought me here

https://medium.com/cuepoint/in-defense-of-ms-hill-6fa84ba81d63 

is it copyright?

I don't know about this.  "...uplift a hill..."  C'mon, this is lazy writing by one, Talib Kweli, otherwise superb lyricist.    

+Tertioptus lol hip hop purist like you guys crack me up. never happy with the smallest "mistake". we will never know why he wrote it that way. enjoy the music man. If you truly appreciate Talib then quit been a self centered analysts lol. A true artist does not write for anyone but him/herself. I would love to see any of you bitching create ANYTHING as genius at Talib. The fact that you think he didnt try hard enough and THIS IS STILL ONE OF HIS MOST POPULAR songs only proves how gold he is. Talib never fell off to his core base only to the fools like you who sweat the "purist ". you probably liked royce before shady too like any other "hip hop head" lol. And kudos. You spent money on itunes so you have a judgment pass lol. guess what? i spent hundreds on music too. doesnt make me a certified rolling stones critic lol. get out of here with the " i spent enough to judge " card

+Tertioptus fuck u

still a wack chorus, say what you want

uplift and heal

Bravo TheTrueDiesel! I can rock with that. Sorry Talib. (I really hope your right TheTrueDiesel)

what is this soundtrack from? i can not remember the song this comes from...

nba 2k.. i don't remember what year but i know i heard it in an nba 2k. 

Lol this was in a basketball video game? Doesn't seem very fitting haha, kinda a weird selection.

Yessir...

Thanks for the vid, love the song!!

I wish that I could talk to Lauren,.."

Lat3h1tz don’t we all 🥺❤️

Great track, too bad he stole it from Ben Kweller.

@Salik Ford I'm "pretty sure" people know that too. Or maybe it's just us and we're onto something big! 

@Charles Ferguson Its copyrighted material that was used without the creator's permissions.  So you have a poor understanding of copyright laws. Ben Kweller has spoken about it publicly.

He sampled it and put it on a free mixtape

@bikeduderino Yeah, you're right. I spoke out of turn. Thanks for the correction. 

he didnt steal it he sampled it

Does someone know how to play this on the piano

haha, yes! try ben kweller since he wrote it.

@mike hawk ok, yes, that one was funny.

Ms. Hill you got skills! <3

My fucking favorite song fuck lil Wayne and chief keef

massive sample

Robert don't spell the great lauyrn hill name...not lauren

touches my soul every time

Great track

what song is it from i can't remember 

I don't know what album it was on, but I know it was from the time frame of when Lauryn Hill fell of the scene and the fugees disbanded. It tells a great story.

@meoshewu pretty sure lil wayne has a song to this beat, do you know the name of that song? i can't remember it 

@Markus Theiwell I'm not sure if Wayne uses this sample, but the song samples Ben Kweller's "In Other Words". You can easily check it out on WhoSampled. 

Lauren's demons, Lauren's struggle .... we all share.  We're all been there, in our own way, and we're all coming out of it, just like her, in our own way.  Cause, we're all one.  Much love to Lauren & Talib .... 2 true ARTISTS.  Many musicians are actors, cause an ARTIST is simply a roll they play.

wen i listen to this n the type of rap i listen to now, im disappointed in my self

LMFAO truest shit ive ever read bruh

@Daniel Mwenya
hilarious but dude i know i feel like i should slap myself. some of the stuff now is toxic

+rafiq sabir 2016 shits getting worse smh

Daniel Mwenya it's okay to listen to new stuff but as long as you listen to this conscious hip hop too

I wish people would say that nowadays. Now every single person is bumping that "ubba hubbaba dubba" trap mumble rap bullshit and they love it.

You don't need permission to sample anything if you're not selling it as your own. Mixtape throwaway track

I listened to this song when my crush left me. A real save song in my opinion...

are there a lot of rapers that are right down your alley?

Good song great hip hop right here

THANK YOU PANDORA

I love the beat

Respect to both Hill and Kweli. Amazing artists.

Check out Ben Kweller's song "In Other Words", he samples the song without permission from Ben, never even asked.

ben kweller? what he do? every1 seem to be saying that?
