SATURDAY THROWBACK VIDEO: LAURYN HILL - EX-FACTOR
Saturday, October 21, 2006
What can I say? Lauryn Hill put out some classic material when she released The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill (’98). This has to be one of my favorite tracks (& videos) off of the whole album, because the music speaks for itself. I hope she gets it together, because we are in need of more timeless jams.

Yeah!!!! I LOVE THIS SONG!!! Angel-LA, you are so ON POINT with these throw backs!!! I swear this song described me and my ex to a Tee @ one point in our relationship!!
Lauren was SUCH a GREAT writter @ one time!!! I wish songwritting like that would come back into the forefront instead of the stupid songs we are subjected to now on the radio and video station *sighs*

I think she just cracked under pressure. All the Grammys and critical acclaim of the album was too much for her. Not everyone is built for fame but I do hope she gets it toghether and makes a ‘comeback’.

Dang..Angel LA. yOU digging up old memories… The song came out during some turns in my relationship. I mean the song was just on point. Girl high five to you on this one. Man I wish Lauryn would put it out like that again.

Nearly 10 years later and this song is still the shit. Lauryn is such a brilliant woman with a message, she is so beyond materialism and shaking your ass in the club, that the industry is afraid of her. The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill is one of the greatest albums ever recorded.
*Check Up On That*

I remember first hearing this song when I was shorty and really didn’t like it much. But that song definately grew on me. I love it now. You really took it back with this one.

Omg, I love this video too! And the cd was stark brilliance and I could relate to this 100 percent. Lauryn Hill was hip-hop and prbably still is. She’s not crazy, why do ppl start to come to that conclusion about celebrities who are on the spot 24/7…I think you need to lookat it in their perspective…

Lauren is a good example of a love/sex addict. She was fine until she got with that Marley guy, and started having them kids thinking he was going to stay…now shes walking around in daze, and she still lost the guy…now she lost her mojo, and got all these confused kids. Lauren we need u back.

I love ALL of Lauryn’s music. She is a true Artist. She writes, sings, produces, plays instruments and acts. She’s still the best. I’ve been bumping her unplugged cd for the last 2 mos lately. That is also the ISH. Big Ups!

Plus she raps. And Lauryn is not crazy. She’s hella brilliant and a visionary. She sees things most people can’t or choose not to see. Just because you can’t understand where a person is coming from doesn’t mean it is ok to dismiss them as crazy.
I totally get Lauryn’s perspective.

this song was just so deep, so sick, lauryn man, we need u in the industry makin dem hits.
i always thought that ashanti’s “dont let them” had a similar beat, similar theme and similar video to this song. well we all know she likes to use other people’s shit… not even in a bad way but she does…

This song and “The Sweetest Thing” from the Love Jones soundtrack (1997) are two of the most beautiful and relevant songs ever written regarding relationships. I miss her talent, class, and beauty. She is a true original. However, don’t fret. She is only around 31 or so, and I really don’t think we’ve seen the last of Ms. Hill.

Hey awhile back I saw a website on Sandra Rose that had a myspace link to a petition for Lauryn Hill to have the music exec’s OK her album..it even has a live performamce of a song she wrote and sang….apparently the music industry ain’t trying to hear her message, they think it’s too risky (not mainstream enough) I signed the petition and hope everything goes well with that.
I’ll have to look that up…
she is still very much into her music….

i hav to say one of my fave lauryn songs is the one that kanye sampled for “all falls down”,
37.

Saturday, October 21, 2006 /
Yep that sample for All falls down is from Lauryn’s Unplugged CD. The song is “Mystery of Inequity”. Pure genius.

Exactly, ppl like that sicken me fah real…you can’t put nobody in no damn box like that, she is not the standard and anything ppl question that mkakes it out of the box, and ppl like that are “crazy, ” but in reality that is actually smart! It’s different and unusual and that’s not “standard” that’s why I like Andre 3000’s (of outkast) style, he doesn’t want to be a “standard” either and ppl question his sexuality. Okay, it’s like WTF??? He can’t do this or that, he can do w/e the f*ck he wants!!! Just like Lauryn Hill for that matter…STOP CALLIN PPL CRAZY IF YOU DON’T KNOW THEM AND YOUR JUST AGREEING WITH THE PERSON WHO WROTE THE POST (NO OFFENCE) LIKE YOUR THEIR PUPPET, PPL AREN’T ALWAYS RITE YOUR KNOW…

I know this cat that used to work over at Sony, nothing special, he had some temp position, but dude said that he had heard from someone there that her album Khulami Phase, which was pose to come out, was shelved because it was crazy controversial, but the few critics that heard it said it was real dope.
She has this song called “the passion” not from dat album but from the passion of christ soundtrack, ayo, that is a serious video and the song is timeless as fuck, check dat shit out. In my opinion this one song and video takes her to legendary status. This record w/ video is better than peoples whole albums. Ayo CL u should post dat shit. Check it out, here is the link :
http://www.youtube.com/re...=lauryne+hill+the+passion
-If dat don’t work just go to youtube and type - lauryn hill the passion - in the query and it should come up.
Folks believe me on this one, go see it, no joke. One

BTW Ex factor helped me to get out of an abusive relationship that I was in for 2.5 years. Thanks Lauren, your greater purpose was in hand whether you knew it or not cause I could be dead right now but Glory to God I’m still here! Thank you Jesus!
