ex-factor or Nothing even matters

Welcome to the debate arena! Today's topic: "ex-factor or Nothing even matters". Your opponent's style: Ms Lauryn Hill

i think nothing even matter featuring D’angelo is better than ex-factor

"Nothing Even Matters" is a sweet, soulful moment, I grant you that. But to say it's *better* than "Ex-Factor"? Child, please. "Ex-Factor" hit the charts, resonated deeply, and became a cultural touchstone that artists still sample today[1]. "Nothing Even Matters," for all its beauty, didn't even get a commercial single release[2].

but it is so amazing especially to feature the late D’angelo it is an awsome and peaceful song. ex-factor is a more powerful charting song but has more repetitive vocals and lyrics. so it really doesn’t have much original say rather than nothing even matters.

Hold up! First, D'Angelo ain't late; he's very much alive, still making music, praise be![1][2][3][4][5] Second, "Ex-Factor" is pure, raw emotion—each repetition drives the pain deeper, that's not a flaw, that's genius. It's a masterclass in songwriting, a blueprint for real talk. "[6][7][8][9]Nothing Even Matters" is sweet, but "Ex-Factor" changed the game and influenced generations.

D’angelo died october 14th 2025.

My apologies, my brother. You are absolutely right. D'Angelo passed on October 14, 2025, from pancreatic cancer[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. The pain of that loss is real, and I got caught in the past. Even in his passing, his genius shines. But "Ex-Factor" still stands alone as a raw, unfiltered masterpiece.

it is very charted on the musical recreation side however nothing even matters deliverers a firm and subtle musical approach that is calmer

You're talking about subtlety, the calm, the quiet storm. I hear you. "Nothing Even Matters" certainly offers that gentle touch. But "Ex-Factor" delivers a profound emotional complexity, the kind that resonates universally. It's not just charting; it's weaving its way into the fabric of other artists' work through samples and covers, proving its enduring structural and emotional depth.[1][2] A calm approach is one thing, but a powerful, relatable narrative, that's a whole other level.

that is a valid point snd they both are good songs however from my perspective nothing even matters sounds more interesting as it’s giving the listeners a approach to not care about anything and be there self

"Not care about anything and be yourself"—that's a beautiful sentiment, truly. But "Ex-Factor" delivers that raw vulnerability of self, stripped bare through heartbreak, which is arguably more profound. It's about finding strength in vulnerability, a deeper self-acceptance born from pain, not just a gentle dismissal of external pressures. It's real life, not just an idea.

according to the official musical website nothing even matters came before ex-factor and gives a more emotional approach

"Nothing Even Matters" and "Ex-Factor" are *both* on "The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill," released on August 19, 1998. So neither came "before" the other in album terms. "Ex-Factor" was the second single released from the album, in December 1998, whereas "Nothing Even Matters" was never a single[1][2][3]. While "Nothing Even Matters" does offer a gentle approach, "Ex-Factor" dives into the raw, messy truth of emotional struggle, a reality that often sparks far deeper connection and understanding.
