it's funny to me how many mofokrs that spend their whole day on a porn board always talking about what's well known in the music/entertainment business like they are actually plugged into it.

So Ms Hill has to have mental issues because she doesn't play and isn't interested in the mainstream glitter and circumstance of Hollytweird.

It couldn't be that she wanted the music to reflect her thoughts on art and not a lot of the garbage that people release to make a dollar?

And of course, it had nothing to do with paparazzi and everybody in her business and personal life.

Why can't she just live her life with all you experts making judgments? It's not like she spends her days posting about your imaginary lives of luxury you share on a porn board.

And why are black people mentally ill but white folks are nonconformist, unorthodox, or eccentric?

What’s even funnier is that you’re wrote the most on this topic.

Basically Lauryn Hill never wanted the fame - fame - fame. She has babies with a Rasta... they live a simple life, not caring for a whole lot of money or a whole lot of material b.s. but I bet she's deep with money and spiritually I know she's all together, listen to her intellect when she speaks ... even therapists need therapists.... Keep judging books by its cover --->>> keep thinking she crazy <<<--->>> Aiight
I think she never really wanted to be famous..FUGEES famous.

I think when she set out she wanted to have a lo key neo soul/R and B type career and that shi* turned pop real quick and she didnt like who'd she become...

think Dave Chapelle. but with Dave he controlled the narrative because he loves his craft (comedy) Lauryn said fuck it to hell with music in all its glory...

I think somewhere between these two points is close to what's going on with her...

I think she wanted to a working creative but hates the pressures that come with it. I think she used hip-hop to get on but really wanted to have a career more based on singing. Case in point... why hasn't she point out a put rap joint since Miseduction? I mean it's safe to say that in the late 90s Hill could be named not one of the top female MCs but one of top MCs in the game period at that time and yet she didn't fall back on that to keep producing work.

I saw in a video someone said that Lauryn chafed at the idea that people thought or saw Wyclef as the creative push behind the Fugees which is the reason for her claiming sole credit on her solo joint because she wanted to get people to see that she's her own person and there's no svengali behind scenes responsible for her success as an artist. But that kinda backfired. Plus the fact that she hasn't produced another album since that time kinda proves that MAYBE Wyclef was the creative engine. MAYBE she's just a really good singer who needs producers and songwriters more than she thinks. :dunno: :dunno:

So she can show up to this bullshit on time but can’t show up to her own concerts which people pay her money? On time? Ok. She really is mentally ill and looking harder than a brick.

The industry will do that to you and what people don't understand is that they doll you up every time you go out and are seen which cost $$$ but afterwards you go back to living regular life where shit isn't glam,how many records you sold doesn't matter,who you know and what you know doesn't either and all the fans say is "She's crazy","She's on drugs","She's broke" and never think to say "Maybe she's tired..."

I could imagine being sick to death of the industry and it's daily standards of fakeness

Remember Marvin went through it and it set a whole new bar for him and music period ....

Nope. She admitted she was late.
If you see the context Isiah brought her up even though time was over.

I'm watching Queen's Gambit and the main character is a child chess prodigy that starts in on drinking and drugs. One of the other characters approaches her with a story about a former chess player that was a prodigy as well, and turned to drinking and drugs then eventually killed himself. Drew Barrymore is one of the few child actors that made it through to the other side and kept acting. So many child stars are damaged people, and once the spotlight starts to dim, they can't cope with the fall.

Regina King is another..she's actually thriving right now..

I know bro what I mean is at her concerts where she was 2 and 3 hours late then only had time for 2 songs and told people to suck it up but didn’t refund their money.

i wonder why they chose to use that frame instead of 100 other frames?
anyway i was more interested in what she had to say and as always she dropped gems ! Lauryn isn't a "look at how pretty i can get " artist , so it never factored in for me

That is a strong possibility. She obviously slammed into the bottom. That there is not just hitting bottom. :smh:

I just hope she didn't think she had the same juice Chapelle had when he turned down that 50 million dollar contract.

Fam, she made ONE dope album! You know how many dope albums, back to back, stevie made? She was just getting into stride. Should had dedicated herself to the music, at least for 5 more albums then dip. Her era of artists on up to now just don't seem made of the stuff.

I get it... the cut and something else is not working but the woman does have 6 kids.... I don't think most women at her age with 6 kids are going to look like she did in her youth...

As you can tell from what she was talking about she clearly still got her intelligence intact....
