Lauryn Hill interview (June 13 2010 (length: 9mins))

[503freedom]

She is soooo pretty and talented ....also the triple 6 and 2 nines are bothering me

[mphsbelle1]

LARUYN HILL IS A TOTAL PACKAGE NOT PAST TENSE

[josj15]

maybe the best rapper ever, chill, but yes her songs back in the 90s are timeless,

[SugarellaBaby]

i want my hair like hers

[auset7wonders]

She's still a phenomenal inner-attainer!!!

[salmagnum]

The pity of it is,as soon as Lauryn brings Jesus Christ out into the spotlight,the NPRs (ESPECIALLY the God-hating NPR)will have nothing to do with her.That is obviously the spiritual battle she is fighting now.Recently I accepted Christ. I also stopped smoking weed as I saw it destroying my witness. The old crowd is asking all these questions and my nature wants2let them run with their assumptions that it is for my kids, or to not risk my future, this&that- but the simple answer is Jesus Christ

[suzukidas2]

She is so awesome, and she is very beautiful to, and a true talent. And did I say very beautiful to.....

[Las4Aridays]

la mejor

[atulanian]

She is so awesome

[bill0756]

Brother Anthony is controlling her...he runs a cult.

[Laurnea]

So she was respectful to the interviewer.......contrary to what the rumors about her behavior are saying!

I'm sure she wrote her music in miseducation (it was part of the conspiracy), mtv unplugged proved that she is by far a superior writer! It was even deeper. One thing I've learned is that God's Wisdom is craziness to the world, and wisdom of Man is craziness to God's Children. That's why she was labelled "crazy", she was ahead of her time, and had submitted to God's Wisdom.

[mistyblueyes254]

i went wrong when i stopped jammin to my lauren, so empowering!

[primooptimo]

She is the mother of my rebirth. I appreciate her gift. Can't wait to see her live!

[musicbabylove1]

the woman is a beauty.

[yralm07]

Look man, there is nothing wrong with Lauryn, there never was. She is making sure that she is in control of her life. She is a wonderful mother, a Virtuous Women, and when she feels she is ready she will do what she's got to do. Never ever listen to all that she's crazy hocus pocus from the media especially, cause all their about is the program, Word!

[MsRoyalTreasure]

at 0:01 how did she get her hair like dat?

[splitgardenz1]

CRAZY LIKE A FOX

[rtoriq]

i will always be a fan of this intelligent, articulate, & beautiful woman, even if i understand her less in her current state. i'm happy she's looking to re-record, but i feel kind of scared for her (i know i shouldn't), bc The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill is a HUUUUUUGE challenge to follow-up. i think this is also D'Angelo's issue as well, w/ his brilliant album of Voodoo.

So i would just hope that all fellow fans just accept whatever new music she makes as just HER, not Miseducation part II

[setitstraight100]

yoooo thats how i would describe her a militant super model hahah,she is a beutiful woman ..she looks like one of them ride or die chicks man....not to mention a nasssty mc,n a massive singer...............ive never to this day seen an impact like that of the fugees album the score everywhere u went u heard that album

[Qeautyful]

HER ALBUM CAME OUT WHEN I WAS A FRESHMAN IN HIGH SCHOOL, I REMEMBER WALKING THROUGH THE HALLS OF MY SCHOOL HEARING HER MUSIC. I''M 26 NOW , AND I GET SO DISAPPOINTED WITH ALOT OF THE MUSIC I HERE TODAY. ITS LIKE THE GOOD MUSIC HARDLY EVER GETS RADIO PLAY. I CAN'T WAIT FOR HER RETURN. I BELIEVE ITS TIME FOR GOOD MUSIC TO MAKE A COME BACK.

[cafecon2]

@Qeautyful hah...same thing happened to me. I'm 27 and I love her music very much. I was in highschool as well, when the album was released......and I agree with what you say about music of now days

[ishcomemish]

She just needed to be a mom for a while. BUt she is crazy for thinking she wasnt really singing before b/c she threw down on miseducation. Beautiful and Talented, I hope she never has to go through anymore lawsuits and achieves all her personal goals. I will be there to cope the first new album!:)

[ishcomemish]

@ishcomemish cop

[69Razak69]

Ohh Now You R N..... Give Mi A f.... break man ..I'm a true original n..... from south africa you stupid ass moth...and if you think you n..... than you r a house slave n.... just like malcolm x said .There 2 n.... in america.. Come back to Africa and you learn you'r history ..Don't be mad at me for tellin you the truth or waking you'r house slave ass up ....

[arab3515]

@69Razak69 why would i come listen to wat u have to say when im not even frm south africa?? im from west africa, thats where a small PART of my history is......i could really care less about what the majority of african got to say about me because most of them dont like us negros anyway, and yes i respect tht u listen to ur grandparents, but they can only tell you so much with so little time, there will come a time when you will have to start reading for urself. not all books are zionist.

[ishcomemish]

@arab3515 So are you saying that West Africans are arab?

[arab3515]

@ishcomemish no, west african negros are Nugarmarta, naga people, Ndaba, Nkosi,Negus, Negash, N-t-y-r, and/or N-g-r (Egyptian;pronounced en-jer) = God

is that clear enough??

my nickname is arab but im a negro

[ishcomemish]

@arab3515 Oh ok. Sorry, I was just confused through the convo

[arab3515]

@69Razak69 forexample its good to learn your modern history but you also need to find your ancient history......this is usually difficult because for us american negros, our history has been stripped from us at an early time, so we have to use wat we already got to find what we want, if you want to find your ancient history look at different prophecies, mythologies, and characteristics...and compare them to you and your people.

people such as myself or LAURYN HILL are aware of our true history

[ThePRIMEMINISTRY]

This is not a thorough interview- more of the interviewer pontificating and adulating her heroine- The interview is on NPR's site THIS IS NOT AN INTERVIEW!!!!!

[sirchriston]

LAURYN YOU'VE GOTTEN MY SIS AND I THROUGH HARD TIMES! miss YA HOPE TO CIYA SOON!!!!! stay yourself love

[msjamiet]

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS WOMAN! I hope and pray all is well with her and that the world gets the opportunity to experience her greatness again. I still bump The Miseducation in my car on a regular -it never comes out of the rotation in the disc changer lol. I'm really thinking about taking a trip to Miami to see one of her upcoming shows even though I don't 100% feel this sped up version of the performances I've seen of her recently -it doesn't take away how hard I still ride for her.

[loubaad]

when her next album is coming out imma cry

[TheZoRetro]

That made me soooo happy!! I was feeling soo sad about Lauryn hill. I thought that I would never be able to see her perform in my generation and I am sooo happy now thank you so much Mrs. Lauryn you have restored my faith in soul and hip hop music

[samantha041508]

I can not wait ... she has the best voice... EVER!!!!!

[samantha041508]

You know what I find sad... That in 2010 with a black president.....People Still see color....as an issue...fighting over who she sings for.. I am white... I love her ... she is pure beauty....One of the best telents ever to be in the World.. Also it should not matter what color you are her speaking out on color is not what I am talking about..but because there is racist and other issues with skin many still feel for hate to themselves or others because of skin and there are still racist people.

[tissetatten]

YEEEEEEEEEESSSSS!!!!!!!!! :D

THANK YOU JESUS!

[matthewgsteel]

Lauryn Hill is not just a voice for black people. Her gift surpasses race.

[melanatedsoul]

@matthewgsteel She considers her art a voice for the black youth and she has said that herself. She does music for the black people.. But music does surpasses race so thats why she has fans all over the world..

[manchise]

Total bullShiiit.... waste of time... didn't hear any lauryn hill here...

[iamsukafree]

lauryn look so sexy when she wear dread locks

[Drewzyliberated]

EVeryone is like we need Lauryn to come back and make a change, we as black people and any other ethic need to change the way we think and live and we can make the change, your obviously not hearing her if u think that one person alone can accomplish such a feat, we need to work together and spread love

[Drewzyliberated]

Everyone is like we Need Lauryn to come back to

[Svhsgirl]

I'm so glad she's coming back to the recording studio! Alright Lauryn..time to show these little girls from Hollywood what it really means to be a true artist..lets go!

[lozoft9]

Lauryn, we need you to step up again and speak for those who have no voice. you are a bonafide legend out here, you have respect like Aretha, and can easily put to shame these clowns.

[zadeadbitch]

much love to lauryn hill!

[jbaby007]

omg she is my idol, i would give anything to meet her one day.

get back in the game lauryn, we need you to make a change.

[gold95]

Where is the fucking interview? Its just a story... MORON.. change the title

[90mv]

@gold95 it's later on dude 6:40

[miamiwax]

@gold95 listen to the whole thing

[Breana9109]

She has the same birthday as ME!!!!! I miss her :(

[CCBaby]

COME BACK MY QUEEN!

[Lesliegilda]

I am glad she is back. We need something real and some real talent.

[xcluesivebabe84]

I WISH U THE BEST...PLZ MAKE A COME BACK UR VOICE IS SO BEAUTIFUL.......

[Guttahkidd08]

I'm about to cry, I can't wait for her to come back, she speaks so much truth, over the many years of listening to the Miseducation album, I always gain some knowledge from it, I've heard that cd a million TIMES and each time, something new clicks in me when listen to the lyrics!

Love you Lauryn and I hope to meet you one day soon!

[1NeoSoulChild]

@Guttahkidd08 I know the feeling... I think about her coming back and it makes me feel overwhelmed. If Lauryn never made another album I will feel like part of my life wasn't fulfilled. LOL... I LOVE ME SOME LAURYN!

[victoriamusicteacher]

Thank you MPR!!! Great Job Zoe!

[MizAlexandria]

Her solo album dropped when i was grade 7 and all her music has been in constant rotation from then to now and will always be. Cant wait for her new stuff and to just hear her growth and maturity.

[Kaknelson]

stand for the right please lauryn, damn there's none left in that spirit........................­...... all the love sis, IN PATHWAY OF RIGHTEOUSNESS THERE IS NO DEATH, BLESS US MOST HIGH! PROTECT HER.

[PRETARARA20]

LINDA, BEAUTIFUL,SCHÖN,HERMOSO,SZÉP,Ο­ΜΟΡΦΕΣ,BELLE,ビューティフル,

[MonkeyGeek09]

Lauryn It is time and we ALL are Excited....I'm like on cloud nine

[10gapeach]

Thank you!

[dredlock3000]

THE RETURN OF LAUREN!!!!!!! HIP HOP AINT DEAD!!!

[josj15]

@dredlock3000 yes it is man, sure theres still artists out there that try to keep it real but it'll never go back to the way it was, and its a dam dam shame, depressing actually, especially for cats like me that missed out on that era, all i got is commercial shit on the radio all up in my face everywhere

[sageofferings]

This life writes the script for the next... Lauryn, we'll always Love you--and recognize you and your lyrical offerings immediately. Thank you.

[reflecshunz]

I pray the most high grant's Lauryn order and peace amidst the chaos the music industry deceitfully festers. Lauryn is a god send who needs to be embraced and protected. Her message is strong and nurturing and the evil powers that be seek to silence her, May god unquiet her soul and allow for Lauryn to serenade the planet with her melodic truth.

[ericjungleboy]

She says she wants to sing more, but then when she does a show she mostly raps, and she raps loud, so she's straining her voice. If she wants to sing more, she'd better take care of her voice and not shout so much from the stage. If she keeps that up, her singing voice will suffer.

[vaughno04]

I can't wait. It's been a long ride and life can be hard and you go through twists and turns but eventually you have to come back home to the stage. ;)

[sunnyrosa]

I CAN'T WAITT!

[mialma999]

YES L-BOOGIE IS BACK!!!!!

DONT YOU JUST LOVE HER SO MUCH?????

DIVINE WISE GODDESS PERSONIFIED!!!! :)

[Markizchozen]

I AM SOOOOO THANKFUL for this interview! Very well done! Can't wait until my girl is back and in full effect!

[Lboogiefan08]

yes!! lauryn hill is coming back!! and i cant wait for that album

[MistaChubbz1]

Lauryn Hill is the truth!

[90sbaby92]

ooooohhhh isssshhhhh!!!! its time...

[dahighbar]

YEsssssssssssssssssssssssssss!­!!!!!!!!!!!!

[is33you01]

The Nina Simone of our generation

[xenakaii]

@is33you01 I love that....

[aquariuspoet]

Oh what a wonderful time for a breeze to sweep through like Lauryn....when most artist on the radio today are just cranking out mediocracy year after year...we need as a people and personally me as a lover of music...music that means something and teaches something....the voice and words of Lauryn Hill. I would have loved for her to do a hip hop album...but I'm not picky or boxing her in. I'm just glad she's back.

[marcolombardo07]

@aquariuspoet So sick of mediocracy right now, really.

[icecreamladydream]

Big L

[Nenendude]

Oh Lauryn, I hope she's okay.........

[SuperGamer87]

That's one gorgeous woman, inwardly and outward. Her voice and message are as beautiful as she is. Momma, we need your music again. Real music is rare today--ESPECIALLY with black musicians today! (Lil Wayne, you're a joke! You too, Drake!)

...And them five kids are mine--sorry, Rohan.

[LanlandeVAG]

omg is dis true? Lauryn's coming back?!?! Oh how i welcome you

[UniqueTush]

How Beautiful is 5:43

[Iyabo63]

We have had to always be Chameleons as a consequence we can talk how we like to who ever we like when it suits us, and you know what it doesn't really matter!

Lauryn Hill is one of the best singer songwriters of our time, so she's been missin, Hey Bringing up 5 children must be her priority, i'll wait for her as long as it takes, I won't have the music industry dictating to me what they think she is or what her mental state is. What a Joy she is, What a Wonder she is!

[SupaFlyRadYo]

so i hope people don't attack me , but have you noticed she perfects her grammer/speech when she's speaking to a white reporter ?

because in another interview with an ethnic person she speaks with her "urban dielect" ,

don't get me wrong , i love her to death . she's my favorite artist .

it's just a thought .

[SuperGamer87]

@SupaFlyRadYo When I'm with Jews, I speak as a Jew. When I'm with Greeks, then as a Greek. (a little apostle Paul there)

There's nothin' wrong with that. Sometimes you're just more comfortable with "loosening the belt" with some (like homeys) than with others. And sometimes, you get tired of it. (I do)

If I met the President (and HE'S black), he wouldn't dare hear me speak with my "urban dialect."

Maybe she just matured some. Maybe as a mom now, she just WANTS to speak English properly.

[sladonn636]

@SupaFlyRadYo

We're not going to attack you ( I'm not anyway), but you're wrong about her using urban dialect when talking to other ethnic people. Just search for "lauryn hill interviews" on youtube and you will see. In most of her interviews, she speaks intelligently.

[mrMARZHEW]

I Got this feelin' in my stomach right now that I Can't explain... It feels like i'm dreaming lmao please Lauryn please... Deliver us from TPain... hahahahaha

[Dudda42]

I am elated that Lauryn has decided to record again...I just want to burst into tears I'm so happy....I can't think of one artist in today's sad state of music with as much talent, vision and purpose...I will be attending the rock the bells show in New York and traveling from another state to do so.....

[cocolomambero]

really like the picture at 6:03

[SantaBadd]

It's time... to come back Lauryn. I bought the Miseducation of Lauryn Hill album when I was in the fourth grade ('98). I remember it like it was yesterday. I didn't feel like going to school so me and my mama went to the mall instead. We went to Sam Goody Music store and I told her to buy the Miseducation of Lauryn Hill album for me and she did.

[tenta20]

Lauryn!!!!

[1a1a2a3a]

shes back?

[nflowers40]

In 2011 I will be working on a script and I want Lauryn for the lead role. Don't want anyone else for this part. I so LOVE her spirit. And she needs an acting come back. The songtress IS COMING BACK.

[arab3515]

FINALLY

i knew she was ok, i prayed for her.......she was jus goin through some personal stuff......

theres a reason why she beleives its time to start recording again, OUR FATHER THE MOST HIGH is calling her out again, she knows what time it is, and she knows who she is as well as all of us black people in america (the whole point of her song ZION was a message, she said one day you will understand)......shes about to bring some more truth........

SHALOM FAMILY

[xenakaii]

@arab3515 beautiully said....

[rebelrouser444]

@arab3515 You exemplify a love for Lauryn that goes beyond the description of being a "fan"... as do I... How often do you hear of people PRAYING for their favorite musician? The "fans" of Lauryn Hill DO. Why? There is something about this woman that has made a very deep and PERMANENT affect on people. One album was all it took to make US a lover of her for LIFE. If she never released another album, those who love her would never fade in their love. GOD BLESS LAURYN HILL!!!!!

[MsESQusiteAKA]

@rebelrouser444 ....I agree...anybody who uses their gifts to RAISE PEOPLE'S CONSCIOUSNESS is blessed and anointed and therefore will be put under GREAT attack by the enemy...I pray she come back STRONG !!! I really pray she appears at the Bob Marley Tribute this coming Thursday in Pittsburgh.

[rebelrouser444]

@MsESQusiteAKA ... and I agree with you too! ~~~God Bless.

[arab3515]

@rebelrouser444 yes, i pray for her because i know who she is, and i know of her importance in the black rebel communities, SHE IS A MODERN DAY PROPHETESS OF THE MOST HIGH. AND SHES NOT THE ONLY ONE.

but yes, i can understand how strong your feelings for her is because i feel the same way

[sladonn636]

@rebelrouser444

Hey, where's the prayer meeting. I want to go!!! ... much love and respect for Lauryn Hill.

[floridianfreak69]

@arab3515 thak you because she is so beautiful....she still look like one of those collectible dolls

[69Razak69]

@arab3515 Shame On You Calling YourSelf Arab ,,,You R A Zionist Child Fool ..And Miss Lauren Hill Ain't A Jews Or Zionist ..Get It Right ....Shalom My Ass lol

[arab3515]

@69Razak69 ITS A DAMN SHAME OUR PEOPLE ARE SO DAMN IGNORANT N LOST THAT THEY RANDOMLY SNAP ON AN INDIVIDUAL WITH OUT UNDERSTANDING WHAT HE OR SHE TRUELY STANDS FOR.....IM NOT ARAB, AND IM NOT A DAMN ZIONIST........IM THE BLACK NIGGA THAT TAKES THE TIME OUT TO KEEP OUR HISTORY ALIVE WHILE YOU SIT AROUND VERBALLY ATTACKIN NIGGAS FOR NO REASON.....WHY DO OUR PEOPLE HAVE TO BE THE IGNORANT MUH FUGGAS??

GET OUTTA HERE N READ A DAMN BOOK.....GET BACK AT ME WHEN YOU LEARN YO HISTORY ASSHOLE

[69Razak69]

@arab3515 ohhhhhhh yeah Ps : I don't have to read a book about the history ..my grand parents are my history,,i listin dem every day and night than rather read a book who wrote by a white zionist or a house slave n.....

[arab3515]

@69Razak69 so you can call me a slave all you want to, i know where i stand in this world, and i know why muh fuggas dont like me and my people.....because we are the NIGGAS THAT RUN THIS SHIT.....AND WHY DO I KNOW THIS, BECAUSE I COMBINED MY "SLAVE HISTORY" WITH ANCIENT HISTORY SUCH AS (PROPHECY AND MYTHOLOGY) AND I DISCOVERED MY TRUE SELF.......MY PEOPLE HAVE MANY NAMES AROUND THE WORLD WHERE WE HAVE BEEN SCATTERED, BUT ONE THAT IS MOST OBVIOUS IS THE ANCIENT NAGA PEOPLE

[stupidnatalia123]

At the end of this video I screamed! I am so happy and grateful she will be recording another album. She is the truth, she is the light, and I never get sick of her music. With all the power she engraves into it, how could you not listen to her music twice? Lauryn is backk!!
