man, lauren hill was a big part of what your female r n b singers are today, between the fugees; TLC, salt n peppa, and destinys child, and others im leaving out, they just carved the image for today #1 top of the charts, real talk
OMG! An Anthem to Newark, I lived in Ivy Hill and hung out in all the places she's mentioned. I MISS how simple life used to be back then. Oh! and remember to be home before that street light comes on, LOL
Lauryn staued true the the nation of Israel. Seh came out of thie wixked nation because she knew that we were the chilfren of Idrael. Gof bless her and all of the Israelites, our kingdom is at hand.
yeah she went to school there but she talked about newark and surrounding areas. Those are the streets that nurtured her. story starts in hooterville not maplewood grew up next to Ivy Hill(Irvington) untouchable PSP, Boylen pool, frelinghuysen (leathers) Hawrthon and Chancelor had beef All Newark, movin records on central ave &martin stadium=east orange, car theifs got out of newark through Irvington, weequahic section of newark used to beef with hillside. U have no idea what this song is about!

@JtheMighty "I was there at dancing school, South Orange Ave." yea, thats south orange.
And "Springfield Ave. had the best popsicles" and "July 4th races off of Parker " are maplewood.
And Maplewood and South Orange ARE part of Newarks surrounding areas, and also, Ivy Hill is in Newark. And car thieves get away through irvington from South Orange as well. I'm not saying its not about newark, but its also about these places as well
Irvington was misplaced had the car thief prtion after that sentence initially. I took the one home for 10 yrs got off on grove st & 16th Im good on my geography. Springfield runs down to newark. only valid comment is dancing school & july 4th. thats 2 out of how many references i made. I knew every reference you made my grandma lived a block away from columbia after u go under the train tracks so i know what you know. Do you have any idea of what I know or what the rest of the song references

Lol we have to do stuff with this song for langauge arts. We have to write like a whole notebook over it haha. All of us know it by heart now hahaha(:
@JtheMighty i know but she was performing at my high school... (where she went to school) on the day that i wrote that comment and i echo what @bobothewalrus256 said
@aidanpomper yes we know she went to columbia, im just stating dont think South Orange and Maplewood is the x-factor, that molded her and her music. considering she barely refers to the two towns through out the entire song
i relly like her and her song they are so nice but i would relly like to meet her i have a getare but i relly just would like to meet her i just would be so nice too :>
I love this song, and lauren ^^Great voice ! Her cd rocks, im 16 and never thought id like musik like this!! much better than rihanna and beyonce (even tho im a huge fan) This has more soul and no screaming ^^
