She talented, yet her discography is very lackluster for the amount of years she's been a performer..

People saying her ego's wider than all outside, but I see her point in everything she said
Thought she did a wonderful job of explaining her perspective

And a lot of people don't understand the industry. Musicians get screwed over often. One of the saddest instances is watching Unsung and George Clinton and various members of his bands talk about how much money they never got because there was no paperwork. Because there was no paperwork, nobody really knew who did what. They were just doing what they loved.
In Hip Hop, you have session players. Talented musicians who are paid up front. If they don't understand the industry, they don't understand that the up front fee is all they get even if the song or album becomes a smash. Unless, they fight for co production credits or have someone with legal knowledge on hand, they forfeit publishing points which could mean much more money than what they received up front.
Some artists don't get that aspect as well. So they will pay session players and credit them for various instruments, but won't share production and writing credits simply because they see them as session players, instrumentalists, and musicians and not as co creators.

No it isn't. They were credit as musicians. They didn't get shared writing and production credits with Lauryn on other songs. Because there wasn't paper work, who did what wasn't clearly defined and its evident from the XXL article.

She was basically Puff Daddy,Dr Dre,Drake status. Never thought she was that nice as an emcee anyway so she shouldn't be sniffing a top 5 when it comes to female rappers. Her strength was her singing,and thats what blew up her album and made her a star. It is perfectly acceptable to RNB singers to have writers.
Her not writing as an emcee doesn't matter because skillwise she never was that great as an emcee anyway. This is you dudes fault for overating her mic talent to begin with

I mean, whatever.
'The MisEducation...', for me, was no different than 'Illmatic'. In other words, it was so polished thay it didn't really move me. It is very difficult to balance virtuosity with raw emotional expression. Some argue the two are mutually exclusive. I wouldn't go that far ... but, I understand.

My niggrums, looks at my rep. I live in the negative. I'm a contrarian without even trying to be, so it's only natural.
That being said, I gave those albums their just due for being very well put together, but the actually musical content didn't move me. For instance, there is no song on Illmatic that moved me like 'I Gave You Power' from 'It Was Written'.
