I still wonder why she still warrants any attention 1998 was 15 yrs ago ..nothing of note since. ....hence one album wonder her time came and she let it go
she makes good music but she is quite over rated. Lots of her most known songs are basically just copying other songs sound and adding other words. The music she personally writes has always been kind of trash. She's just hyped bc she's a wierdo like many other wierdo musicians who were just trash.

lol yall just be hating to hate... If it dont sound like wats on the radio, it gets no love...
I don't listen to radio.
This just isn't a very good song.

She was doing to much and totally
forgot there was a beat there.

This would probably be better as a
spoken word, where rhythm doesn't
have to compliment the beat OR if she
actually attempted to ride the beat.

I like it. Like one of the other young bruhs said, it is like yeezus anger... The "European Fetishism"... That caught my attention. But its not for them, its like directed at us... Its way to real to be wack bruh. How its delivered dwarfs to the message she is delivering.

"Terrorism running through them, on they're television" Come bruh...
Being real doesn't excuse shytty music.
I'll never accept horrid music just because it has a "message".
If that's the case Macklemore is a better rapper than Meek Mill.
Ignoring the actual skills it requires to rap good, one is clearly more palatable
for those seeking a message.

I don't get this comment by you....Are you referring to the tweet about Nicki Minaj? You do know that was her coming to Nicki' s defense after the R


Just deal with it. Lauryn is wack.

She had an opportunity to release her second solo(I don't count unplugged) Black Rage and her third solo Hip Hop Ain't Dead and she blew it
if that's the reason for releasing the song then i applaud her for it. why should she make yall happy just to be pimped by some zionists at sony...
She shouldnt be releasing this trash at all. fukking Garbage! I bet there was some cac in the studio bobbing his head stoned out of his mind like OMG wow, this song is amazing.

You're arguing against yourself with the bolded.
What's soul music? Did Sly Stone make soul music, does Prince? You can't be considered a genius if you keep producing the same art. Talented artists are constantly pushing and moving the genre in a different direction. It's up to the audience to accept it or dismiss it. Most artists hope that their core fans musical tastes grow and become refined. Like when you a kid and enjoyed hamburgers, but you got older and discovered steak. You don't totally abandon hamburger, but if a choice cut steak is presented to you, then more than likely you are going to choose the steak.

It's also dismissive to attribute their change in musical styles to synthetic drug use, especially without any proof.

"Their music doesn't sound like Al Green's anymore, they must be on "dem bath salts" :ld:

It's like saying Picasso or Van Gogh were opiate addicts and that's why their art changed all the time, Instead of just crediting them with being genre pushing artists.
Even though I think Hill is just a crazy broad...I agree w/ this completely.

based on her personality nowadays I had a feeling she was gonna be garbage if she put out new music again. this just confirms all my suspicions.
