Surprised a greedy bloodsucking lable wouldn't want to milk a massive selling recordShe said nobody asked her to make a followup to the Miseducation album??
I need more context to this rant
Lauryn Hill addresses criticism for constantly showing up late to her concerts: “Yo, y’all lucky I make it on this stage every night”
- Thread starter KingsOfKings
- Start date
Would never see a single cent of my's lol
They already ripping that shyt fr
I really hate how people will take one thing and use that to discredit everything without knowing anything.
I'm going to drop these here:
The context of Hill's pregnancy is an important one, because her decision to give birth to Zion David Marley reflects the bold, headstrong character that allowed her to create one of the most influential hip-hop albums of all time. Reaching platinum status within a week and breaking the record for first-week sales by a female artist when it was released in 1998, Lauryn Hill's solo debut was explosive at the time, a remarkable achievement for an artist aged just 23. In the years since, the record has influenced countless artists, becoming a seminal entry in the hip-hop canon.

"God bless Mr Rupert Neve - there wouldn't be a Miseducation without him!": The making of The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, Apple Music's best album of all time
We revisit our 2023 feature on the making of Lauryn Hill's hip-hop classic, featuring conversations with producers Che Pope and Gordon "The Commissioner" Williams
^^^ I encourage everyone to read this. When people say the New Ark group wrote and produced most of the songs, it is a LIE. Che Pope was a key producer on that album and if you doubt his talents, he has been a key producer for Kanye, Puff, and Dre. He talks about Lauryn's talent. If she was some talentless hack, he would've called her on it.

Too many musicians and producers have called her out for bullshyt, you can't point to one guy and say none of this is true. Robert Glasper aired her out. Talib Kweli aired her out. Black Milk, who did an entire album for her within the last decade only to have everything taken by her and was never paid, aired her out. The band members who sued and settled aired her out. We can go on and on. There is clearly something wrong with her mentally and emotionally, which she hides behind a bullshyt aura of spirituality. But you can't treat people like shyt and not expect blowback.
If the show starts at 7:00pm they should tell her it starts at 430pm.
problem solved.
Fixed
None of these people worked on that album. Whatever behavior they experienced from her is their experience. That doesn't excuse using that to discredit her, which is a lot of what's being done in this thread. I'm not a psychiatrist here to diagnose her mental state. I posted accounts from people who actually worked on the album.
And to top it all off, people act like well, she sold x amount of records, why wouldn't a label want a follow up. The same label wanted her to have an abortion. Read the article.
So why wasn’t she able to make another one. She is full of excuses man. Robert Glasper assessment of her is on point.
His assessment of her isn't on point because his experience with her is doing shows. He wasn't there for her creating music. She's worked extensively with artists who have spokenbhighly of her talents among them is Salaam Remi and I already mentioned Che Pope. There's also James Poyser.
I get it. We love her. She gave us a really great album 20 something years ago.
But can we go ahead and throw this self-absorbed bytch in the trash? I see why Clef wanted nothing to do with her.

Lol I remember reading an article like 15 years ago that Columbia gave her a $2 Million dollar budget for a follow up album and then ANOTHER $1 Million a few years later. She got THREE MILLION DOLLARS to make a sophomore album! fukk outta here chick! Your creatively tapped out. It happens.
Thats probably going to be Jay Electronica but at LEAST that nikka shows up on time for shows
MegaTronBomb!
Power is in my hair nikka
There are a lot of delusional people who have a personal connection with that album because of life issues they were having at the time.
