That’s a very nebulous description of the process, the bolded specifically creates space for doubt as to just how much was crafted by her (won’t even get into melody and instrumentation as I wouldn’t hold that against any artist who’s not also a musician). It’s awesome to have ideas, but if you can’t create lyrics/songs from them then you better play nice with those who can. Seems like she knew what she wanted to sing about and they created it for her.

And that ego is well deserved!!
But you will not give that to her BECAUSE YOU ARE A WHORE!!!!!!!
It is theft if you refuse to pay these people and give them the appropriate writing credits for their contribution. You are entitled to writing credits for adding a fukking one off cymbal to a song, so if the process of writing the album took place as described then everybody in these sessions deserved writing credits.

she made a good point tho
if she stole music from his friends, why was he working with her in the first place
the friends never actually said she stole music in the first place, so it sounds like hes being a chatty patty
most of what shes sayin here makes sense
"Who are you to say I didn’t do enough? Most people are probably just hearing your name for the first time because you dropped MINE in an interview, controversially. Taking nothing away from your talent, but this is a fact." Sonned

would say.
He actually mentioned that in the interview.
He avoided working with her for years but one of his friends basically said the Gig was easy money and he wouldn’t have to worry about auditioning. shyt went left when her manager tried to finesse the band out of half their pay and he said “i quit” and walked out. The manager came out after him on some
“
lets make this right”.He made them wire all his money on the SPOT and he continued with the show

@ smear campaign. FOR YEARS there have been multiple artists saying how unprofessional and crazy she is. FOR YEARS multiple posters saying how unprofessional her shows they've attended have been...But you're on a campaign to call her an angel that can do no wrong

this is the most calm and concise i've heard her be in decades.. everything made sense.. i mean MJ didn't "write" all of thriller his damn self.. this isn't rap. i never considered lauryn hill a rapper.
she's supposed to come and sing her ass off and that's what she did

Where did I say she was an angel? I have spoken nothing of her mental state. I don't know her. All of my posts have pertained to discrediting Lauryn as an artist specifically in regard to Miseducation. Did she create the whole thing by herself? No. She obviously had help and any look at the album credits would reveal as much. Should there have been proper paperwork? Certainly. My point is when people are saying she's a thief, she didn't write or produce anything, and things of that nature. That is in error. People saying she hasn't done anything since that album are also in error.

Ok, so why go out of his way to call her a theif when
1) it was her manager who tried to finesse him
2) why would a friend convince you with an argument of easy money even when you felt contrary. So you're going to work gor someone you avoided for years for "easy money", but he's saying she's a thief and difficult to work with on the same token. Then when things go South, he's surprised when said "theif" and "crazy lady" is trying to finesse him. If everything he said about her is true, he doesn't escape this unscathed himself.
