Lauryn hill smashed the Grammys in 1999,
In 1999 destinys child (beyonces group) released the writings on the wall which went 8x platinum in the us :ld:

Beyonces peak is 17 years strong
Destiny child and beyonce had nothing to do with lauryn hill...not the same lane. Again, stop the dumb shyt.

And her peak is not 17 years...the beyonce today wasn't certified like that until she smashed the charts with bday/and Sasha fierce back to back...that's when this level of beyonce was born.

I thought it was powerful and havent seen another artist bare their soul like that. On top at the time i had a soft spot for Lauryn already

I like Miseducation but that's not why I listen to Lauryn.

She's written so many better songs than that album though so...

You mean to tell me she didn't write this?

I liked it best because of the broken voice. . .. Love when her voice cracks.

I also really liked her lyrics better.

She's really talented. Has issues but is talented.

ALL I know is charging people to see you in concert and continually showing up late/and or performing 15 minutes sets is unprofessional and unforgivable.

Her personal life is her business. If she never puts out another album again she'll have a loyal and dedicated fanbase just based off Miseducation, which resonated and touched millions of people. That is an accomplishment and damn near makes her legend status..

But her unprofessionalism when it comes to her live shows, mixed with her indignant attitude towards taking responsibility for lateness, is something that definitely counts against her

Attitude mixed with personal shyt is never the wave for business. I’m so glad I still have my hourglass and am letting the pettiness ride while I smile. Too much to worry about before I’m out.

I saw her in concert with Nas, and it was kind of hard to see her struggling, because she can't use the actual music for all her biggest hits.

She killed the Fugees material though.
