Damn. fukk is wrong wit shorty?
Dunno but Rolling Stone did a big article on her getting roped into a cult or something. She was dating one of the Marley sons and got involved with a religious leader.

I’m not gonna knock someone for not making catchy mainstream music every couple years, which is what labels want. But her fall off felt more like a bad person burning bridges until there was nothing left. People try to argue “the system/machine/etc” ruined her career but nah, I think it was her decisions and how she treats people.

She's also lucky more people don't air her out. She has an entire album with Black Milk that'll never come out because of fukkery. She has a bunch of tracks with Kanye that'll never come out. She cycles around producers trying to steal shyt or treat them like trash.


Damn that shyt is news to me too. I love Black Milk and I’ve never even heard a whisper about this but it doesn’t surprise me. Real musicians LOVE Black Milk.

Jack White is a huge fan too.

This here.

The sad part is, she never recovered, as you said. Seems she just got crazier and more bitter. Almost as if she didn't put herself in that position. She blamed others. It's greed and not being able to humble yourself and handle what comes along with the fame and accolades. She really f*cked it all up. And got exposed.
It's a good point, she has nobody to blame but herself, and yet she's been entirely incapable of ever admitting as much.

At the end of the day, what you do with your soul will always catch up with you, she jerked her peers and remains tortured for an eternity as a result.

I saw on this YouTube short clip that Lauryn does not just record for recording purposes. She needs to be inspired and I think I can find the short clip.

With Black Milk? How did she fukk that up lol.

I heard about the cult shyt in the video cause Toure broke it down but she squandered so much. Like I said I think the chemistry and talent around her is what made miseducation but her ego was so big she wanted all the credit like she was the only one making the music. That fukked everything up, well that and not paying people.

Yessir.

Her karmic debt ate her alive. It came for her career and success. Can't escape that.

Too much shady sh*t over the years, in music and away from it. Just a horrible ass person.
