people need to leave her alone and let her come back and do her thing shes been though a rough time because off heart ache and it can happen to anybody. Shes still got a lovely voice shes just trying to find herself again. Trust me been there got the tshirt. She be ok bullshit only makes u stronger u go lauryn hill love u eve xxxx
I love her new look! She's still as bomb as she was back in the day. I wish she'd come out with another album. I listen to Miseducation like it's brand new.
I love it when people claim love for someone then accuse them of doing drugs. If you don't know why her vocals have changed just leave it at that. It could be any number of things. Accusing someone of doing drugs or drinking heavily is just silly and spreads unnecessary rumors. And as far as her recent interviews, she sounds just fine and intelligent, like she always does. Stop making up stuff people.
@lildude626 i dont want to case any beef and im just being real here..she CANT sing as good as what she used to.. she has killed her voice smoking too much weed..dont get me wrong..i LOVE me some Lauren but she smoked/smokes too much. that's all im saying..
@honz1984 no beef but really.a lot people listen to the tones they like but not the skill and quality! She sounds different but with the same talent.. it is natural for your voice to change as you get older so tone isn't gonna sound the same from ten years ago.... example Beyonce Dangerously in love song to Halo.... Different tone improved skills and quality if u ask me and the singer doesn't sound the same
@lildude626 omg YES, you are right!!! beyonce - "different tone and improved skills and quality" BUT the fact is this... Lauryn Hill does NOT possess these traits...she has gotten older with different tones(worse) and NOT improved skills or quality!!!
@honz1984 I love lauryn hill and i will always love her and yes her voice has changed and its not to her doing Weed if you read her Bio then u would know she has a raspy voice and its constanly used she never gets sleep she sings 247 and you cant compare Beyonce to her totally a different style.
@tootieboot87 as I stated in my previous comment.. "...dont get me wrong..i LOVE me some Lauren..."
i havent read her BIO...BUT that's not the point, it's not like she's going to state that she is a user of cannabis, is she? No. So, as a matter of "FACT" it IS because she smokes why her voice has gotten away from her. NOT because of the lack of sleep or because her voice is always used. I wasn't comparing her to Beyonce, by the way. You used her as an example so I was just simply(cont..)
@honz1984 Yeah I agree with you. Her voice has definitely weakened from her flawless performances of the past. She seems to have trouble with the higher notes.. maybe pot, maybe age, or maybe the long hiatus.. but nonetheless she is still the queen
@mikailm09 Very true. I love Lauryn, but her abilities have noticably declined. She probably got caught up in drugs/heavy drinking, unfortunately. In her recent interviews she seems as if she not "all there".
@reeree212 lolz stop reading what the media says, they said the same things about poeple like d'angelo, dmx, old dirty bastard (d'angelo and old dirty are different though, THEY WERE DRUGGED BY FORCE), and tupac......they want you to think that these people lost their mind, but they are infact becoming or have become victims to the same people who are oppressing us......
@arab3515 Oppression can only occur if you allow yourself to be. Some people can handle industry and life pressures better than others. I will always be a fan of Lauryn, but the way she has conducted herself in recent interviews displays someone who is lost, with a vacant stare. The warm glowing vibe from the 90's is gone. Don't know what happened, but something AIN'T RIGHT..lol
@reeree212 ur right, you allow yourself to be oppressed, but at the same time, i dont agree with ur saying some poeple can handle the industry....its not neccesarily that they can handle it, its jus that bigger artists like alicia or diddy have just given into the industry....the only ppl im aware about that handles the industry fair would be smaller artists like erykah.....in the 90s lauryn was on tht high level, the point of no return, so she left while she still had a chance
@reeree212 lolz idk what interviews ur lookin at but the most recent ones that i have seen, lauryn seems very sane and aware.....we just live in a society that doesnt know what it means to be unique or an individual, everybodys sleep now days.
and yes, warm glowing lauryn is GONE, that was what THEY wanted her to be, BUT THIS IS THE REAL LAURYN, THE LAURYN THAT MOST PEOPLE CANT HANDLE. too much energy u kno??
@tootieboot87 carrying on from that. I do hope that this doesn't end up as an argument as it is obvious that we are both fans of this great artist and things shouldn't end up like that. Much Luv!!!
@lildude626 evidently they car tone def and they dnt know music lauryn hill is the shit and all wAYS WILL BE its not about how manyruns you can do because they will drive a person crazy, and its not about how high or low you can go its about how u sell the song and tell it, and she can do that. Lauryn hill's voice is very strong and unqiue........
SHE IS SO BEAUTIFUL. I LOVE HER LONG NATURAL HAIR. YOU CAN TELL ITS JUST PRESSED OUT. SHE CAN WEAR WHATEVA SHE WANTS . SHE HAS PAID HER DUES. SHE IS QUEEN OF THE MIC!
i do like Nicki but i do agree that she is not on the same level as Lauryn. Lauryn is a Queen and she's so rare. She didn't sell out to the industry and I love her for that!
@savoy81 I believe the comparisons are made b/c nicki was a singer originally but started to rap and then became known for rapping but sings on her album. Nicki is a pretty good singer but to me they don't compare b/c they have two different styles. One does not preceed over the other, just different.
@savoy81 I completely agree. Artist like Nicki Minaj are turning out to be our future music. You could never put her in the same catergory. Looking at L.Hill and listening to her shows us the loss we will have if Artist like her and Jill Scott, India Arie, and etc, do not retun...R.I.P. GOOD MUSIC!
@savoy81 it was something CEO Irv Gotti (murder ink) said. He said that Nicki Minaj is the "modern day Lauryn Hill. thats why everyone is talking about the comparisons.
I'm trying to figure out if she's following some kind of religious modesty Rastafarian doctrine by virtue of her outfit? What's up with all that covering hot as it was out there? Her outfit reminded me of a Jamaican Popess! But on another note....she's STIIIIIIL got it! Go head Lauryn with yo BAAAAAD self! People STILL recognize greatness! Too bad Whitney lost hers....Long live, L Boogie!
@mslegacy01 she could be part of the rastafari movement, but i doubt it. through her whole career it seems like shes been part of the hebrew israelites movement.
@KMELIZ21 well being that im also part of the hebrew israelite movement when i listen to the majority of her songs they are directed toward israel such as zion and pretty much all of her unplugged songs such as freedom time when she says "O Israel how long will you sleep" and in her song rebel
pretty much all of her songs that have a message are directed in some way to hebrew israelite teachings.
similar to erykah badu who i beleive is a rasta fari or part of that kemet movement.
@arab3515 hmm, well that is interesting..as for lauryn i would've assumed she was more apart of the rasta far I movement, considering the father of childeren is Rohan marley. Anywhoo, as for Erykah she isn't apart of the rasta nor kemetic following.
@KMELIZ21 well the thing about that is when it comes to the rasta fari movement you have to understand the true meaning of it, you would see that its a smaller form of the hebrew israelite movement. people like bob marley had the same motives as the hebrew israelites, but rasta faris arent as open about it. and to be honest they are actually a bit confused in my opinion. as for erykah badu, i dont know as much about her as i do lauryn
@arab3515 She doesn't follow any religions, she just references 5 percenter/kemetic in her music, but she does not follow..I know this b/c in Septemeber she was in memphis for a show, and I went and while i was there she was allowing ppl to go back stage for 100 to here her speak and she discussed all of it. She isn't affiliated w/ 5 percenters/kemetic/ rastafari/ or hebrew israleites..she's just simply erykah
@KMELIZ21 the only reason i "assumed" she was part of the kemetic or rasta fari movment was because of her lyrics to alot of her songs. but thanks for clearing that up for me.
but jus so you know, all of these movements that i am telling you about (with the acception of rasta fari) are NOT religions. they are MOVEMENTS, almost like a way of life. or an awakening of the black mind, but they definatly are not religions nor are they cults as some people think, its just a different lifestyle
@arab3515 I agree w/ you. more black ppl are awakening to be more "concsious" , cause I am one, although I am not a hebrew israelite, or a nuwaupian or 5 percenter..I respect all you guys..cause really truly we are all one, no matter what we classify ourselves as. Few years ago I would've gave a shit about what i was putting in my body or my history or ancestors. Its my intution/curiousty that woke me. It has been a journey, but so worth it! Peace & love brotha!!
@KMELIZ21 YES so you understand whats goin on, thats great. all of thes movments are concsious movments and what people dont understand is that they are all for the same purpose.all of these movements are building blocks of the same pyrimid in other words, like you said WE ARE ALL ONE, hebrews, kemet, moors, 5 percenters whoever, WE ALL HAVE THE SAME GOALS
@KMELIZ21 and another thing is that the HEBREW ISRAELITE MOVEMENT is beginning to get even bigger and more well known in this year of 2010, and if you heard her unplugged album she said somthing like, maybe when she finds a group of people that share the same intrests that she does it will inspire her to make some knew material. i just so happens that she is thinking about recording again now. its almost like she was prophecying her own future because she knows whats up
Remember her dissin' the DJ in between songs. "i need more bass, more, more, more!!" I need these ladies higher, higher, higher!" So fun! I was behind you in the crowd. Great weekend.
I feel so so so so good right now, I feel like weeping with joy. Lauryn Hill is back and as superb as ever!!! I stumbled upon her comeback on accident after someone was adamant that she had cracked up and went to rehab.
I feel so so so so good right now, I feel like weeping with joy. Lauryn Hill is back and as superb as ever!!! I stumbled upon her comeback on accident after someone was adamant that she had cracked up and went to rehab.
I feel so so so so good right now, I feel like weeping with joy. Lauryn Hill is back and as superb as ever!!! I stumbled upon her comeback on accident after someone was adamant that she had cracked up and went to rehab.
I dismissed these rumours as untrue as I knew that Lauryn Hill kept her covenant with God and he continued to bless her. Someone who thinks, writes, sings, raps and speaks the truth as Lauryn does, does not end up as a 'Lost One'. I love you Lauryn and I’m glad that you're back to recapture the TRUE essence of music and continue to lead us Enlightened ones spiritually through your music.
I can understand why she wouldn't want to come back out. Fame is just not everything and she probably thinks some people listen to her music and clearly don't get the message...but I love Lauryn and will be a huge fan regardless if she comes back out or not!
The thing people fail to realize is that she's human so her voice does get a little tired after all that rapping and singing she does so in concerts there will be moments where her voice may not sound her best.
and i seriously dont think there was anything ever wrong with her, i think it was all jus rumors, the media was jus tryin to pull lauryn hill down like they did micheal jackson.......do you remember when they tried to say lauryn hill is racist to white poeple, they were putting words in her mouth.......this is the babylon that she was referring to in her many songs
@arab3515 right. and whats funny was those people who said she was a racist didnt even have a video or an audio for proof of her making those so-called racist comments. she's innocent just like MJ was
@comeoneover01 yep, thats why i dont like all this media crap, they obviously lie, jus because lauryn hill would rather spread truth besides make money for greedy people, they decided to try and bring her down, but she was ok, she was probably down for a little while, but she was fine, she had to nurture her 5 kids anyway, she was living a normal life, she even said in an interveiw that her kids are growing now and she feels that its time to get back into the studio
You might appreciate this video recorded in NYC on an independent music television show called Video Music Box. A bunch of NYC-based hip-hop artists (Lauryn Hill, Method Man, Jeru the Damaja, etc) got together to talk about police brutality in their neighborhoods with Crazy Sam.
youtube.com/watch?v=tJEM8sIS0uc
It's inspiring to see such talented artists with real compassion and concern for what was going on in the community.
you can just tell that she's not really been missing it on stage, but it's actually where she belongs. shit is of the essence, and she will always be the essence.
you can tell she's still naturally beautiful without the makeup and i heard ppl saying she looks bad but dis is a better video to show she doesn't look that old n really look peaceful... and ppl wonder why she left but considering she was living that life of a music artist i think she knew what she left behind and had good reason to choose that cause i think if lauryn hill wasn't happy with the life she was living then i know she would have been came back cause its not like she can't
Some site tried to say Lauryn left over controversy dealing with not crediting others for collaboration music. It seemed to me that she left for issues with music execs and personal life decisions with a married man who currently claims to be single on his Myspace page. Really hopes she purges with new album. It seems AK making the same mistake has opened the stage for Lauryn's return. AK may be in hiatus soon as well. So there'll be $ to be made. Looking forward to L re-claiming her spot.
Soo yesterday after leaving EDC I get some flyer. I didn't look at it until I got in the car. When I seen that Lauryn Hill was gonna be at the Rock The Bells Tour I gasped soo loud I scared my friends in the car haha
I'm deff gonna go see her. I've been wanting to see her live forever! She my top favorite artist! Ahhhh I'm so excited!
Here is SOLID proof that you don't have to wear a skimpy leotard, shake your booty at every opportunity and flick a long ass blonde weave to stay relevant. When you have talent, you have talent. Folks will never forget you.
Now, we need some NEW tracks from you sis, because I know you have a whole new repetoire down deep in your soul!
wow, seems like a glimpse of her old self! I say a glimpse, cause I want to make sure she's still like this the next time I see her and the next time, etc. Good to see anyway!
She's so gorgeous, and her voice has matured so much.
I'm going to Rock The Bells just for her...does anyone know if she's playing all 4 dates? I keep getting misinformation from all the different websites.
I did and I really didn't need to tickets are 99 bucks plus tax/convenience charges
There are no "seats" it's only general admission and I've confirmed this with Rock The Bells on their page. This of course if for the New York show, but you may be getting confused with the package deal.
@HailToTheTheft perhaps the tickets go that way in NY. i'm not near NY. I looked& I'd have to go to someplace called post pavillion. there the tickets are $150.50.
@MrWirizzle and i quote you verbatim "And lookin like oprah aint a pretty sight either, ho looks like a baboon on crack." ...mmhmm don't backtrack now ... Lauryn is beautiful don't hate
at mr faiquenaym!! what kind of a name is that anyway. why would you think my lame ass rude opinion is evident of my being a lame ass rude person, i was merely stating Oprah Junior!! i happen to think oprah is a stunner thank you very much, What were you implying about my girl oprah? I think your the lame ass person thinking mean things about beautiful people like Oprah, I think it's great lauryn looks like oprah, they look like mother and daughter, what a cute combo
@MrWirizzle LOL ....Liar!!!! you and i both know that wasn't a compliment.....don't feel offended I'm a rude person too...but ms hill is looking very fresh faced here...very light make up...and you called her .....OPRAH JUNIOR co_O? ....r u serious....I love Ms Hill and the fact that she creates her own wind effects....
PLEASE, I BEG YOU!!! GET YOUR SELF TOGETHER.... you're throwing it all away - LAURYN HILL can come back right now, and sell 10,000,000 million RECORDS RIGHT NOW!!!... but she's trippin man, it's like somebody's controlling her, man... somebody needs to intervene and get her out of what ever she's in, this is not normal.
@bostonkalloway The reason why she isn't out right now selling millions is because she didn't like the way the record company and other people were trying to form her into a person she didn't want to be. So she decided to take a break and raise her kids, like a real mother should. Sometimes as fans, we forget that she has A LIFE to live as well outside of music..
@comeoneover01 so glad you made that point on here. people want to talk like she went crazy and now she has pulled it together, but what is sanity...allowing a corporation to misrepresent your image in order to manipulate young minds into giving them money? she did the right thing in exposing the truth of it all...even if she had to sustain criticism and public humiliation. i respect that more than i would ever respect a platinum album based on deception...anyone checked the charts recently?

@arab3515 I agree w/ you. more black ppl are awakening to be more "concsious" , cause I am one, although I am not a hebrew israelite, or a nuwaupian or 5 percenter..I respect all you guys..cause really truly we are all one, no matter what we classify ourselves as. Few years ago I would've gave a shit about what i was putting in my body or my history or ancestors. Its my intution/curiousty that woke me. It has been a journey, but so worth it! Peace & love brotha!!
KMELIZ21 1 year ago
@KMELIZ21 YES so you understand whats goin on, thats great. all of thes movments are concsious movments and what people dont understand is that they are all for the same purpose.all of these movements are building blocks of the same pyrimid in other words, like you said WE ARE ALL ONE, hebrews, kemet, moors, 5 percenters whoever, WE ALL HAVE THE SAME GOALS
PEACE BE WITH YOU AS WELL SISTA

KMELIZ21 1 year ago
@KMELIZ21 and another thing is that the HEBREW ISRAELITE MOVEMENT is beginning to get even bigger and more well known in this year of 2010, and if you heard her unplugged album she said somthing like, maybe when she finds a group of people that share the same intrests that she does it will inspire her to make some knew material. i just so happens that she is thinking about recording again now. its almost like she was prophecying her own future because she knows whats up

I dismissed these rumours as untrue as I knew that Lauryn Hill kept her covenant with God and he continued to bless her. Someone who thinks, writes, sings, raps and speaks the truth as Lauryn does, does not end up as a 'Lost One'. I love you Lauryn and I’m glad that you're back to recapture the TRUE essence of music and continue to lead us Enlightened ones spiritually through your music.

I can understand why she wouldn't want to come back out. Fame is just not everything and she probably thinks some people listen to her music and clearly don't get the message...but I love Lauryn and will be a huge fan regardless if she comes back out or not!

The thing people fail to realize is that she's human so her voice does get a little tired after all that rapping and singing she does so in concerts there will be moments where her voice may not sound her best.
She did amazing in this video :)

@comeoneover01 i agree with you
and i seriously dont think there was anything ever wrong with her, i think it was all jus rumors, the media was jus tryin to pull lauryn hill down like they did micheal jackson.......do you remember when they tried to say lauryn hill is racist to white poeple, they were putting words in her mouth.......this is the babylon that she was referring to in her many songs
arab3515 1 year ago
@arab3515 right. and whats funny was those people who said she was a racist didnt even have a video or an audio for proof of her making those so-called racist comments. she's innocent just like MJ was
comeoneover01 1 year ago
@comeoneover01 yep, thats why i dont like all this media crap, they obviously lie, jus because lauryn hill would rather spread truth besides make money for greedy people, they decided to try and bring her down, but she was ok, she was probably down for a little while, but she was fine, she had to nurture her 5 kids anyway, she was living a normal life, she even said in an interveiw that her kids are growing now and she feels that its time to get back into the studio

You might appreciate this video recorded in NYC on an independent music television show called Video Music Box. A bunch of NYC-based hip-hop artists (Lauryn Hill, Method Man, Jeru the Damaja, etc) got together to talk about police brutality in their neighborhoods with Crazy Sam.

Some site tried to say Lauryn left over controversy dealing with not crediting others for collaboration music. It seemed to me that she left for issues with music execs and personal life decisions with a married man who currently claims to be single on his Myspace page. Really hopes she purges with new album. It seems AK making the same mistake has opened the stage for Lauryn's return. AK may be in hiatus soon as well. So there'll be $ to be made. Looking forward to L re-claiming her spot.

There are no "seats" it's only general admission and I've confirmed this with Rock The Bells on their page. This of course if for the New York show, but you may be getting confused with the package deal.

@HailToTheTheft perhaps the tickets go that way in NY. i'm not near NY. I looked& I'd have to go to someplace called post pavillion. there the tickets are $150.50.

bostonkalloway 1 year ago 3
@bostonkalloway The reason why she isn't out right now selling millions is because she didn't like the way the record company and other people were trying to form her into a person she didn't want to be. So she decided to take a break and raise her kids, like a real mother should. Sometimes as fans, we forget that she has A LIFE to live as well outside of music..

@comeoneover01 so glad you made that point on here. people want to talk like she went crazy and now she has pulled it together, but what is sanity...allowing a corporation to misrepresent your image in order to manipulate young minds into giving them money? she did the right thing in exposing the truth of it all...even if she had to sustain criticism and public humiliation. i respect that more than i would ever respect a platinum album based on deception...anyone checked the charts recently?
