why did the 'fugees' split up?

[oseijeman]

@nafat1 whew thanks nafat1 ...because you know, those of us whose first language is English, can recognize little subtleties like saying 'go' instead of 'get' and using plural and singular words incorrectly. So that ,while what you're saying is intelligent, how you say it can be distracting. Incorrect grammar can make you sound ignorant to one of our basic academic subjects. Maybe idiot was a strong word, because I happen to know Pras is college educated. I'm glad it's not him Thanks nafat.

@oseijeman It is you

[oseijeman]

is it me or does Pras sound like an idiot...

[esnar1986]

yea,he was saying that the reason that the fugees are not coming back is because of lauryn,and if u watch wyclef's video on smiley's show,he states it clearly.but pras is saying that there are a lot of lauryn hills on skid row,meaning there are a lot of people with talent etc...but they cant get out cuz of there use to their homelessness.
