I'd like to see that. I remember once seeing the Beatnuts on Jenny Jones. I was like They were some kind of musical guests I think...

I didnt watch that video but I know the story... dude scrapped the song and threw it out and 2pac said what are you doing!? and got the paper out of the garbage and rapped it. I dont know the personal info behind it or afterwards, but I do know he threw it out and didnt want to use it and Pac grabbed it. It would be interesting to know if Pac did it to show him if it was good, or if they ever talked about having him re-record it, or even how it ended up that big without knowledge that the other dude chucked it.

That's the only song. Don't know why dude saying he wrote that AND other sings for Pac. He threw the shyt away and Pac asked could he record it cuz he thought it was dope. Little known fact is, he didn't pen all 3 verses.

The original lineup of the Fugees were 4 people.
Pras, Wyclef, Lauryn Hill, and Marcey Harriel.
Harriel quit the group and the rest is history.
Harriel had an ok career as a Broadway actress, but it wasn't anywhere close to the Fugees level of success.

I remember reading about this. I could be wrong but I think the group was initially two girls and one guy, then Marcey left, and the other guy joined.

Yup it was originally Pras, Marcey, Lauryn Hill.
