Lauren Hill at least “took”the ideas for her album from Stevie Wonders Songs in the key of love . Play these 2 albums back to back and I guarantee you’ll go “oh yeah “. She just wrote her own lyrics to SW’s music. I do it myself but I just play in my house and don’t make a million doing it . The first time I heard her

So who wrote Lauryn’s verses while she was with the Fugees (blunted on reality and The Score) Pras? Who wrote Unplugged? Didn’t Kanye sample ‘mystery of inequity’ for his first hit “all falls down”? But she can’t write? and his contributed NOTHING past The Miseducation?

One album is a pamphlet, not even a catalog.

That was a very long-winded way of showing that Robert Glasper was right, but some folks like being deluded by doublespeak. Lauryn stans are like Trumpers in that way.

I am kinda done with Lauryn. I really used to ride for her because they smeared that woman’s reputation pre-internet but this current bad reputation is her own doing. She just seems REALLY apathetic about her own talent and success and is content to coast by on past praise. I think “Miseducation” set the bar too high,

Even her gotdamn response to Glasper was hella late.

Facts are simple and facts are straight
Facts are lazy and facts are late
Facts all come with points of view
Facts never do what I want them to
Facts just twist the truth around
Facts are nothing on the face of things

Attended a show she was headlining 2yrs ago at Radio City and if it was not for Common and some of the acts that preceded her it would have been a complete waste of an evening. I still think Miseducation was a classic album and really dug her Fugee’s stuff but she definitely needs some help whether it be

“Me being late to shows isn’t because I don’t respect my fans or their time, but the contrary, It can be argued that I care too much...

Yep, and there’s a big difference between “couldn’t” and “couldn’t be bothered to.”

She doesn’t deserve the benefit of the doubt. She has stiffed artists for years , and unless each and every single one is a bald face liar, I think I’ll believe the less famous artists who actually have a lot to lose. She abuses her position, one she did earn but damn was it long ago, with her bands, people who need

Erykah could always sing circles around her anyways.

Totally agree. Just pointing out the madness of needing so much time to get your live show together.

There is no universe that exists where Ms. Hill equals Prince. She has ONE (that would singular) full studio album. That is ONE album in 20 years. Prince put out like 50-11 albums in his career - Miseducation came out in 1998 - how many albums did Prince release since then? So even if Prince was to make people wait,

Her lawyers settled because she would have alienated a judge within 30 seconds of opening her mouth in live testimony or even a taped deposition, regardless of the merits of her case. (A jury might have lasted another five minutes.)

I think it would behoove you to peep his interview and read these articles.

Ms. Hill. C’mon now. Your audience is telling you they are being CHEATED when they pay the ticket prices for the shows you can’t seem to make ON TIME, and that you can’t seem stretch longer than an hour. If you really need that much practice before each show, and are habitually late, DON’T. TOUR. Be a studio artist

You may be able to make suggestions, but you can’t write FOR me. I am the architect of my creative expression. No decisions are made without me. I hire master builders and masterful artisans and technicians who play beautifully, lend their technical expertise, and who translate the language that I provide into

I am saying...Prince did the same thing FOR DECADES and was never habitually late.

“ ‘Me being late to shows isn’t because I don’t respect my fans or their time, but the contrary, It can be argued that I care too much, and insist on things being right. I like to switch my show up regularly, change arrangements, add new songs, etc. This often leads to long sound checks, which leads to doors opening
