Singer Lauryn Hill Breaks Her Silence After Over a Decade


Lauryn Hill is back -- sort of.
Celebrated for her work with the Fugees and her classic solo album "The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill," the Grammy-winning hip-hop/R&B artist has barely been seen or heard since 1999. (Despite universal accolades, she only released one album after 1998's "Miseducation": 2002's "MTV Unplugged.") Some wondered whether the erratic artist -- who demands to be addressed as "Ms. Hill" -- had a nervous breakdown.

5 kids with Rohan Marley. All I'll say is that his fine ass is a great compromise to Bob Marley's fine ass (R.I.P.). :p

I hope Rohan Marley eventually finalized his divorce. :confused:

Back to L-Boogie....

Calling the whambulance on Lauryn Hill.

Unrelated: Have you caught the BET Awards re-run yet?

dreamseeker 06-28-2010 07:22 PM

sigh. i LOVE lauryn hill. but i'm wary of this comeback because i'm pretty sure i once read somewhere that miseducation wasn't really her style, and mtv's unplugged was. and i didn't really like unplugged *_*

she's going to be at rock the bells in NYC but it's $99 for general admission. hell naw.

I saw several performances from the show. Loved Alicia and thought Chris Brown's performance was touching. Thought the performance at the end perpetuated every black stereotype known to man.

I'm assuming this had to do with Patti, though lol I love her to death, but that was not a fitting tribute to Prince. Jamie Foxx did a Prince parody in one of his stand up shows that was amazing. They could've picked him.

$99 for Fugees? Possibly. $99 for Lauryn? Nah.

Her "style" is supposedly one of the reasons why The Fugees have never been able to reunite. Her Unplugged wasn't horrendous, it just was...unplugged. With some plugging that style can work. I didn't need anymore Miseducation, anyway. I really want the Lauryn Hill from the Fugees' "Blunted on Reality" (they were SO hip hop long before the mainstream paid attention to them) and "The Score" albums.

I think I shall turn this into a Fugees and Lauryn Hill tribute thread. And...go....

rock the bells has a LOT of artists, she was a special guest. most of them i've seen before too. just type in rock the bells in google and you'll see.

(i'm just broke as hell :o)

Senusret I 06-28-2010 07:37 PM

So basically she was too busy fuckin Rohan and having his babies to be in the studio. That's cool. Just don't blame the "machine."

Right? But hell, Erykah was having kids and still came out with some good music.

Yup. But in many ways, Erykah has a better handle on "the machine" and doesn't seem to believe that it owes her anything.

I don't think he was in jail, but John Forte was.

DrPhil 06-28-2010 07:48 PM

That's interesting. Erykah's baby daddies and suitors that the public knows about were all in the music business.

Andre 3000
The D.O.C.
Common (not a baby daddy)

Rohan Marley helped produce some stuff and his siblings are successful writers, rappers, singers, and performers. All of Lauryn Hill's kids are with him and she chose not to stay in the business.

***************
Pras wasn't in jail. The worst he did was tell a media source that he would kill Haiti's president or something.

John Forte is my boo. He's a great emcee, writer, and producer. It's a shame he let other things interfere.

The Miseducation is one of my favorite albums.

Alicia Keys 5 Months pregnant with that super short dress and then climbing on the piano later on the BET Awards = simple fail

precipice 06-29-2010 12:29 AM

Rohan Marley is like the male version of Erykah Badu. Lauryn might as well have been walking in crochet pants and smelling like patchouli.

Oh, Lauryn. :(

BabyPiNK_FL 06-29-2010 12:12 PM

It's supposed to rerun Tuesday at 7 according to their website. I haven't seen it yet either and normall refuse to watch BET except for their award show. Diddy was soooo drunk and so was Taraji P. Henson and they were HOSTING the after-show. It was a mess.

DrPhil 06-29-2010 12:18 PM

All award shows are generally filled with alcohol and other stuff. It's a celebrity celebration, beyotches.

The aftershow was funny. I was so mad at Henson for calling El DeBarge "Chico DeBarge." They had a difficult time getting beyond that and everyone on the aftershow panel was like "oooooooooook...."

I caught the "after party" and I agree that it was a hot mess.

Some of the men I know loved it.

I thought it was cool except for the fact that she's pregnant. LOL. I hope she cleared that with her people before doing it...just in case.

Prince's face was HILARIOUS. His eyes got wide, he tapped the woman beside him and he sat up to look at Swizz Beats. LOL.

I'd rather have Prince than Swizz Beats ANYDAY. URRRYDAY. All 4' of him. I'm sure he makes up for it.
