Lauryn Hill

In Lauryn Hill news today, she cancelled all her European tour dates due to ‘her health’ aka she’s rumored to be a lunatic. Honestly doesn’t surprise me at the rate she’s been falling off the deep end lately, with showing up 2 hours late to concerts, her clown makeup and barely audible singing …but odd enough, even all this doesn’t taint my love for Lauryn. Starting out with the Fugees The Score in Feb ’96, Lauryn, along side Wycelf and Pras solidified themselves as hip-hop gold. For me though, it was her Miseducation of…cd that pushed her over the edge and made her royalty. It was one of the first cds I truly became obsessed with (to the point that my player wasn’t able to read it I played it so much). This cd got 10 nods at the Grammys in ’99, making Lauryn most nominated female of all time.
Then - BAM! She fell and she fell hard. It would have been respectful if she had taken time off to focus on her family, but it simply wasn’t the case and the controversy around her started getting out of hand – not only was she butting heads with Wyclef, but she was in a huff with the Vatican over her outburst during her live televised performance…but you all know that story….blah blah blah…For now though, lets put that aside and remember her in all her glory.
