I’m over it…poor lauryn this and poor lauryn that…ummm..it’s been like that the past 10 yrs? Please….

I have to say, WordBlaze put things in perspective for real! I keep saying that artists, entertainers, etc. all have issues, concerns, and demons just like the rest of us who DONT have money. I thought I was the only one who thought Beyonce’s interviews (as of now) are plastic-like. I mean, I can’t even relate to her, and we’re the SAME AGE!! It’s just messed up that Lauryn has allowed herself to become jaded in the music industry, I feel as if a lot of pressure was put upon her, and she didn’t know the right way to handle it, so she just snapped… I hope that she can pull things together for herself and her children, the industry shyt can come later!!!

One more thing, I read the article that #57, supernovadiva mentioned in her post, and a lot of things became clear to me from there. While THE MISEDUCATION OF LAURYN HILL was a true success, (I bought the CD at least 4 times b/c people would steal it from me) it seems as if she had issues BEFORE she even went solo. The shyt with Wyclef, being in a relationship with him, wanting to show him that she could outshine him on her own, then to her issues with Rohan. It just seems that she had baggage from the beginning, and becoming a mega-star overnight didn’t help matters any.

I’m Confused…what look was she going for?? That’s my gyrl and everything, but DAMN…I think she’s just as Confused as I am.

@mayadoll she was with wyclef? why did i never hear of that?

@word blaze cosign 100% she has issues she needs to work out and there are ppl who still don’t realize this

@Newyorker- Yeah, she was with Wyclef before and during his marriage. It says in that article that no one really knew if her first baby was ‘Clef’s or Rohan’s. And also, Wyclef’s wife knew about the affair, and that she never had any words with Lauryn, but instead cut into ‘Clef, but she knew that Lauryn was in love with him. The song “Ex-Factor” was about him…. and “Lost Ones”.

[...] now you’ve all probably heard about Lauryn Hill’s poorly reviewed concert in Oakland this past weekend. One of my best friends in the world, Lauren, drove from Modesto to Oakland for [...]

@MayaDol

I think the song that shows how she really felt about wyclef is the song “Water” from the upplugged album. That is some deep/genius stuff.

WHITNEY HOUSTON should take a page from LAURYN HILL’s book of life.

When times prove too difficult, & your celebrity lifestyle has to take a back seat for your CHILDREN & FAMILY (no matter how the hell long it takes) that is a real woman handling her business…&I respect Lauryn for that 100%. She has her PRIORITIES together. She did what she had to do, for the past 9 or so years.

With all the TALENT this woman has, she will do the damn thang when she is good & ready, & if “NOW” is the time….ARE WE READY?

LOL!

Lauryn is my girl and I think that she spits the ruth regarding the entertainment business, especially the recording industry. It is sad when people just want to do what they love and the industry just changes them so. She is just freeing herself from the industry that had her blinded for so long that she didn’t know how to live her life. Majority of the celebs have been through it. We hear about so many doing stupid shit and having breakdowns it’s pathetic. Go Lauryn Do You! But you need to find out whatever you did on that first album was because it was fire!!

all i know is that L’s music has helped me through a lot of pain in my past and i was hoping that she would come back into the scene with a vengeance, wiping everybody out once again. but i must say that i’m confused by her get-up. what exactly is it that she’s wearing? something from the salvation army. lauryn, please save yourself from whatever it is that’s taking over your life!!!!!

[...] - Lauryn Hill talks about her extended break the music scene. And talks. And talks. Apparently, absence makes the windedness grow longer. [CONCRETELOOP] [...]

Lauryn… Please… Your job was to use the system to get your message out there. Your job was to aggravate the system from within, until the system was soo threatened that they would try to shut your lights off. Simply put you were afraid of your own voice that’s why you radically changed yourself and hid from the limelight, you did exactly what Dave Chappelle did. As soon as they gave you the shine to make a change, YOU CHANGED and abandoned the movement. The only way to make radical change at this point in the game is from within and YOU were the voice of this generation. The New Ella the new Aretha, the new Marvin and the new Bob Marley wrapped into one beautiful package. You killed me with you meltdown and your crazy antics, I wish you well in life. But dont try to justify wht you’ve become. YOU LET US DOWN. PERIOD
