Dunno why, but I’ve been listening to Lauryn Hill recently>>> just got reminded how dope she was…..I remember being a kid and listening to The Fugees – The Score for the first time. I hadn’t really listened to a ton of hip hop up until that point….I almost didn’t get it. Blame it on my rural white upbringing. It took me a couple years before I really got down.
Yeah, her voice is amazing – but she’s such a dope MC! Lyrically, she elegantly slayed her rhymes, often spitting double first verses on her tracks. That’s some dangerous shit in pop music. I can’t think of anyone right now with a track on the charts who does it.
But my favorite song:
It’s the prettiest,sexiest, flyest, most bangin’ beat this minute for me.
Plus, she seemed pretty well spoken.
Why is she defending her words? White people DO suck at dancing.
According to wikipedia (AKA the TRUTH):
Lauryn Hill and Wyclef Jean dated through the majority of the Fugees time together, a relationship that friends have called “complicated”.[5] In the summer of 1996, she met Rohan Marley, son of the late reggae icon Bob Marley, and openly had a relationship with him. Jean knew about this relationship. Hill soon became pregnant by Marley, who himself was already married. She kept the information about the identity of the baby’s father a secret to almost everyone; Jean assumed the baby was his when he first visited her in the hospital.[5]
Hmmmmmm….
She totally pulled some Maury shit!
Lauryn, we miss you.
