i think some folk missed my point. I never said Lauryn stopped giving love completely and has become some angry bitter evil person. I merely spoke on extremes. This is fact. love is a catalyst. A person searching for love has many characteristics. I think she's begun to love cautiously and it's hard to trust when trust is broken so this slow return to the public is an example of that. You've read the interviews. The response to the media attention, the exploitation of her fashion, the bad relationships, the outright telling a woman "i don't like to be touched", it's a healing process she going through. And YES this dicussion has everything to do with her music. She is an honest artist who wears her heart on her musical sleeve like Mary J. and we see her inner struggles and triumphs through her music and performances and musical motivation. This is not a negative thing. We should always keep growing as people. She is growing before our eyes. Anytime you listen to Lauryn you get a glimpse into her heart and soul. That's basically it. i'm done You've described everything great - like i feel and like i did in my last posts - It's great to know that there is somebody who has a similar state of mind about this... peace

All the silliness she talks is what happens to people when they take themselves way too seriously. I think her interviews would be better if she conducted them naked and shiny. If i saw you in real life - I would kick your ass, BOB, BE SURE IN IT naked and shiny idiot O.K. man, I'll be "sure in it," just as soon as you learn how to write in terms that English-speaking people understand. Look, Lauryn Hill is a jackass. She sings and raps well, but she is not the second-coming of Christ, or Mozart, or Coltrane or even John Lennon for that matter. The music industry has watered down the listening public's expectations to the extent that Lauryn Hill can be referred to as a "genius" and people will believe it. This is not to denigrate her abilities, and her music would be a welcome reprieve from the Ashlee Simpson/Lindsey Lohan/Hillary Duff/50 Cent (yes, I would include him in this group) glut of crap that has infested the airwaves. However, musical talent does not equal genius and wisdom. Lauryn Hill seems to think she has some kind of copyright on intelligence because she raps well. Even if she was the musical/cultural Yoda that she seems to think she is, it does not justify her diva-like, spoiled-girl antics. Everybody has been hurt and taken advantage of at some point in their lives. Boo-hoo. Cry yourself all the way to a multi-million dollar recording contract. And another thing- Hill seems to justify her present ice-queen act by acting like she was exploited while still young and naive. The thing is, she was always a jerk. If you read her interviews from years ago, she was an a**hole then just as much as she is now. Wow, way to go with the personal growth. If we wait another ten years she'll do an interview in the Source telling us how she personally invented cell phones and that she should be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize because people copied her "hot" style.

I agree that Ms Hill is acting like a spoiled diva brat and she needs to get her ass out there and release an album. y'all are praising her and all that, but she aint puttin records out and acting as if she's Queen Bee or sumtin. Gimme a break. As much as I respect the girl, she can be full of it sumtimes

If you read her interviews from years ago, she was an a**hole then just as much as she is now. I disagree. When I read her interviews from back then, she wasn't a jerk. what are you talking about ? Besides, if you don't like her, why bother coming here and criticize ?

I dont see how she was acting like an not a very nice person in old interviews... WTF? I need some proof for that... All interviews Ive seen/read she was the most humble/beutiul person. period. With a great way of comunicating her thoughts.
2nd, I can see that her "new way" makes people unconfortable and sometimes offended. But lets break it down, fact is: SHE IS SMART. SHE HAS ALWAYS BEEN. She got skills when it comes to rapping, wordplay, lyrics, singing - hell, even acting. The only NEW thing is, that she talks about her talent, her skills - her wisdom (however you want to call it) openly. She is AWARE of it and communicates this to people. People who cant deal with this quickly lable her as a egocentric diva.
For me its more appreceating oneself. She even mentiones it in the interview, its in a way appreciating the beutiness of black womanhood, in order to not get USED, or TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF.
Thats just my opinion.
...one last thing. BOB, this is an international message board, seen?! Not everybody is able to speak english fluently but so far we have menaged to have some nice conversations regardless. If you cant deal with mistakes in grammer, syntax or whatever, I recommand you quickly learn the language of the person you want to talk to and speak to him/her in his/her nativ language... I mean, I dont have a problem to continue this conversation in german... I could try it in danish or french as well... what about you?! seen?! Don't take it for granted that we write in english.
peace!

Sorry about the blank posting above. With all due respect to everyone and their opinions, I did not threaten to kick anyone's ass in either of my previous postings. Perhaps it was presumptuous to think that everyone on this board could speak fluent English. However, "I'd kick your ass" translated pretty well. In reference to the administrator's eloquently stated opinion, let's "break" some other things down. Lauryn Hill is a singer/rapper/actress. She does not and has not saved people's lives, found cures for diseases, solved the African AIDS crisis, put an end to child sweatshop labor or contributed significantly to anything of any consequence to anyone aside from making some good music. There are other people that have more significant impacts on people's lives who don't need to talk about how wise and awesome they are, such as: Mother Theresa (deceased), Bono, everyone in the local fire department, garbage men, teachers, volunteer workers in soup kitchens, paramedics, doctors, etc, etc, so on and so forth.
I think some people on this board need to have a little broader perspective on what makes someone wise and what should and should not command respect. Making people refer to you as Ms. (or for that matter Mr., Mrs., Dr. or any title) does not instill respect in people. Someone who truly commands respect does not have to force people to address them formally. If Lauryn Hill were so wise, she wouldn't have to tell people how she wise is.
Really though, I just think Lauryn Hill is hot and I like her ass, so she can say whatever the hell she wants and I'll still listen.
Peace
