"Guys I asked Ro about if Columbia is the reason that Lauryns album is still not out all he responded was "who else could it be?" I guess we have a green light to get this started!"
--- now we know for sure Columbia Records is BLOCKING her record!

This is nothing new! I have been telling you all this since last year! This petition needs to not only go to Columbia, but to other recoreds labels/company, so that they can see what is happening and they might become infulential in twisiting a deal. Also, send to other medias, allhiphop.com, major radio stations, hot 97, wbls, 98.7 kiss fm. etc. In addition, send to all other forms of media for them to cover this very effort.

If I can be honest with you guys. We all know Lauryn likes to operate on TRUTH. I find something about this whole petition very distasteful. I think this petition is trying to capture a point in time that I think Lauryn is long past. I really don't see hear supporting this petition, because it is all based on an asuumption that could very well be false. I think it goes against everything see stands for. I think to make the statement your are making you need proof that she is actually being stopped from releasing an album. It could very well be the case, but I think even if an album of the song list on the myspace page were release today they would sound nothing like what we have heard in that past.
The problem I have with the views and opinions often stated about Ms. Hill, is the fact that we don't know her and what her state of mind is at any given time. She is constantly evolving and we will always be a step behind. We know from her recent appearances that her music is constantly changing. This petition may very well directly add to pressure she may already be getting from the record company. Also, we know she is working and making moves in her personal life from appearances shes made and media reports of relocating to LA. She even stated that she has not release music up to this point because it was transitional.
Therefore, I don't support the petition in its current form, because it seems be an attempt to capture a point in time that I believe she has long moved past. I think when we hear these songs again they will have a totally different vibe kind of like Zion performed at the Soulful Saturday concert. I would love to support a petition to show Lauryn and the record company that she has loyal fan that are still out here and ready to support her. I think I actually like the wording of your original petition, because it didn't make false assumption. I think the petiton would not be taken seriously if it is not based on fact.

A lot of people who worked for Columbia have confirmed it. And Rohan Marley himself has confirmed it. What more proof do you want ? Lauryn herself has said this ( indirectly).

First Sybil I would challenge you to name one person from Columbia that has confirmed this. If you have this persons name then I would advise you to use it rather than some persons screen name with second hand information.
As for the Rohan myspace page lets not even get into that. Lets just say I tracked it along with the fictious Lauryn page and they share a great number of similarities. You my dear can believe what ever you want, but your theories on Lauryns personal life have been proven to be wrong so many times, its funny after awhile. I would advise you to stay out of her personal affairs which you know nothing about.
