No other female artist in history has had a message like Lauryn Hill in their music and i can assure you there never will be. She stands alone when it comes to "music" with "substance".
This song means alot. she knows who she's talking to about "u can get the money, u can get the power, its all about the final hour". yea they know shes right. They can have all the power they want but we'll c who has real powers at the end.
Sonia Barrett speaks about, in her powerful book "The Holographic Canvas," how we have more than two helixes (DNA), but they've been blocked; thereby loosing cosmic memory. Somehow, I feel that Lauryn's other helix stands are wide open and expose. So divine.
@TonYsOsA1100 Lol ur mean that is not far. Ninja just tryna get her money up she is just a puppet in the rap game. Til she get knowledge she can't even be put in the same Category as Ms. Hill. Lauryn is a Poet and has wisdom plus knowledge to go with it.
this is REAL talent she didnt have to talk about no niggas or no bitches. everything on the radio nowadays is garbage!! Lauryn needs to come back so that she can wake these youngins up!
@Portis1Luv THANK YOU....ESPCIALLY HER SO CALLED PEEPS.real friends would talk to you in private and not put you down in public like her so called brethern
@Portis1Luv THANK YOU....ESPECIALLY HER SO CALLED PEEPS.real friends would talk to you in private and not put you down in public like her so called brethern
I remember reading in an interview years ago that she was betrayed by many of the "conscious" people she spoke for. How they were upset because she gained notoriety, had a voice that folks were listening to (like what happened to Malcom X). Not to mention her man having kids by other women. He's a Marley so she kind of should have expected that. I REALLY wish she would just go ahead and work with Kanye. Like him or not he has an incredible ear for a good melody & has dreamed of working with her.
Yup! I caught that to "arab3515". I've been telling people all this time, Lauryn is not crazy, she has been going thru a spiritual awaking! All Praises to Yah!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I've been bangin' this CD lately and I promise this sound just like a Biggie rhyme to me! I know Big ghost wrote a LOT before he died! L Boogie does her thing...but I think she got help from Big on this!
God, I'd love to know what she did in her past life to warrant such a divine spirit? Each life writes the script for the next. Selah! I love Ms. Hill!
L, hit me up on myspace/grearturnbull ... I wanna interpret ur natal chart.
my cousin went to school with lauryn and they were in the same soccor team, and we have an old vhs of the team playing soccor and lauryn was actually a pretty good socca player.
I really miss this. And I miss the proudness of being black. No fake ass blonde wigs down to the ass, no ass shaking just straight up skills and beauty rockin dreads to do it. Love it :-)
@arab3515 You always speak the truth...indeed. only a conscious mind can read between the lines and understand the spirtual meaning in every song she wrote.
Man, yall should quit hating on Lauryn... That woman is trying to take care of her kids! She'd be fucked up if she was touring all crazy and had them stuck with a nanny. Let that woman breathe and let her be a true MOTHER to her children!
I am a fan too and as a fan I still support her. Not that I didn't think about about her change but I don't like gossips because it's about things anybody know anything about. People "hear" something and then judge just based on what they'd like to happen. I heard Lauryn talking a couple of times since,I respect her opinion and what she says does make even more sense than those gossips.
Lauryn is the one who knows what she is doing. It's true I prefer what she did musically before but if you really analyse the 2002 live album she is really deep and even more sincere (probably less commercial or hip-hop oriented). Another thing: she knew the Marleys even during the Fugees. Finally I consider that in life you are responsible for your own acts, it is to easy to blame others...Lauryn is a strong and smart woman, I may not understand her choices but I support her.
HA HA HA...I KNOW! Man, I wish rappers still had hype men like that, honestly. I'm sure some do, but he loud as hell! "PICK IT UP NOW...PICK IT UP NOW!"
Reminds a ton of Company Flow (in a good way.) Mostly maybe cuz the similarity of "your crew is microscopic" and "your skills are microscropic" (8 steps to Perfection)
(this goes to IAMlesliearnelle) What do you mean "sad what happened"??? She found God, she found her REAL self, and she's finally happy in life, how is that sad? What IS sad is, the media likes to spread lies about her since she no longer conforms to them, and people like you believe them ... now that's sad.
Yeah, Lauryn's not messed up in the head. Most people in this day of age don't understand God, so when He works through people, they label those people as "strange" or "weird"
damn, just finished the video. Damn. Speechless...she is a queen for real. and she didn't have to curse, get nasty, or take her clothes off to deliver some of the tightest lines in hip hop. how the heck did i miss this back in 98/99?? lol
