Elliot Wilson~Music Journalisttelling a story about trying to get with Lauryn back in the 90s, begins at about 1:10-6:40 this made me sick. 1st, from what it sounded like, & i'd be inclined to put Lauryn ABOVE playin with a guy's heart to improve her career aspirations but all i could think was "this guy is only gettin Lauryn's attention cuz he can help the Fugees" and i don't even think Lauryn would stoop that low tbt but the way he told the story made it sound like that. and how anyone could describe letting Lauryn Hill get away being "a positive" cuz he went on to be successful, bleh, he had young Lauryn Hill callin him, childless Lauryn Hill pre-Wyclef relationship, pre-heartbroken, love-lorn Lauryn, & he lets her get away..... to work with Hoes with Attitudes.. Eliot Wilson LOST. & i'm glad she aint call him back; he is lame. like how he exclaimed "no one else liked her!" like that should even have a damn thing to do with his own assessment of her bleh. he didn't deserve her. if he did, he'd have tried but he knew he aint deserve a woman of her loveliness so let her go as naturally the way it was supposed to go.

if he respected her he wouldn't tarnish her beats by putting them on his albums/mixtapes, which ruin his own album cuz no1's gonna sacrifice their enjoyment of Miseducation's entirety to share her beats with a J.Cole song. Kanye turning Lauryn's Unplugged song into his Stacy Dash nipple song was possibly good advertising for L.H. Unplugged to his audience, who may not be up on Unplugged; but I personally can't listen to Kanye's song after hearing Lauryn's. but J. Cole actually took beats off Miseducation and tried to make us enjoy them with him rapping over it, as his songs. J.Cole is good enough to not have to resort to that; he would be a much bigger star if he didn't do that cuz he surely alientated every lover of Miseducation when he did that. Drake recently sampled Lauryn Hill too, and it's reprehensible to hear. That guy shouldn't even have a career. His success is proof we're all dead and live in Hell

I didn't get the vibe that he was trying to be critical of Lauryn in any way. Actually, the way he tells the story puts her a favorable light--she was a cool, easy to talk to, hot, you know. They hung out a couple of times, talked a bit on the phone. She just didn't have time for any nonsense "hoe" talk. Even though she was young, she was conscious of the sexism in hip hop. By her being surrounded by men all the time, my guess is that she'd had her fill of that. Maybe she thought Wilson was different, but he turned out to be just another dude. That was my takeaway from it.

That was my takeaway from it. i seriously doubt she'd dump a romantic interest cuz his career led him to a Hoes with Attitude event. she was way more sure of herself than to even be maneuvered in that "hoe" direction so it was probably a benign topic for her personally --- UNLESS she was feeling him out for professional reasons & the Hoes with Attitudes event (or the lameness in which he spoke of it) led her to believe he was of no professional OR romantic interest to him. i hear what you're sayin but i don't think the topic of the event (Hoes with Attitudes) itself led to her dismissing him; it was probably his lameness in discussing it or else she was just feeling him out professionally, networking so to speak. it SOUNDED to me Eliot Wilson was making it sound romantic when for Lauryn it was platonic, professional networking, with a dab of Gemini curiosity on Lauryn's behalf. in fact, Wilson's nervousness in speaking even evinces the halfhearted surety in which he described the event. i think he was reachin btw i don't think he was speaking disrespectfully of her but the conversation kinda went there in dismissing "having lost Lauryn Hill but gained a successful career" as a positive whereas i think losing Lauryn Hill is worse than 20+ years of success. imo he lost...... think about it, you can rebuild a career but where do you find another Lauryn Hill? you don't. you lose her, and you lose. that's all there is to it. he probably married an octopus who probly listens to Lauryn Hill songs, while Eliot cries huddled on the floor in the bathroom washing & drying his eyes with towels hearing her music on

From what i read on the internet, this guy was a jerk when he used to work for hip hop magazines (i think it was xxl ), he definitly speaks like one. Lol at him crying about Lauryn on his bathroom floor

DJ SKribbleJS: You took my next question from me - about the Fugees. It was incredible having three separate spots from them, when they were together. Which one was your favourite? SK: Lauryn, easily. Lauryn Hill. "Keep It Tight" was the best one. She was awesome, amazing - she's such a doll, a great girl. www.rapreviews.com/interview/skribble08.htmlCee Lo GreenElsewhere in the book Green writes of his love for Lauren Hill who he met just before his wife, but did not end up marrying. Green says he wanted to marry the Fugees singer as he thought she was ‘just made for me’. He writes: ‘That didn’t happen but we still got to have a great friendship that ended up making a big difference in my life’. www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2416864/Cee-Lo-Green-opens-struggle-body-image-crime-filled-past-falling-love-Lauryn-Hill.html#ixzz321lwX5T3Salaam RemiWhen did you realize that you could identify a person or group as not just having the potential to make a hit record but to be a genre-defining or culture-shifting artist?I probably realized it after the Amy Winehouse era when she was doing a lot. It made me really look back, at first when I worked with the Fugees and up to their success, I was a part of the band. I was lookin’ at it like, “Wow, this is how far this beat that I made for Fat Joe, that is ‘Fu-Gee-La,’ could actually [go and] sell this many units?” This set of talented individuals, who I met as talented individuals, if they’re set on the right train tracks, they can actually go that far. And then also by the time I got to Ms. Dynamite and Amy, they were influenced by Lauryn Hill as, to me, every vocalist that came out in our genres post-Ms. Lauryn Hill’s emergence [are]. They took a little page [out of her book] somewhere, whether it was writing, musical styles, something, a lot of them took something out of that, some concepts … if it wasn’t a direct bite it was a nibble. Once again, it’s inspiration. Read More: Salaam Remi 'One: In the Chamber' Interview | theboombox.com/salaam-remi-one-in-the-chamber-interview/?trackback=tsmclip

She sounds like she's 13 lol... if it were something more positive and uplifting or just really some substance behind it and not soooo commercial, I'd dig it, but this doesn't really rep Lauryn to me. It's catchy though lol.

Christian Rapper, LaCrae on Ms. Lauryn Hill If you had to choose one song that nourishes you spiritually, what would it be? Lauryn Hill's “Adam Lives in Theory.” It's amazing. Oh man, there's so many levels and layers to it. Obviously, conceptually, the picture it paints of humanity. I think we need to be reminded of our frailty. Emotionally, it kind of draws you out and reaches inside - and everybody wants to be drawn out. You don't hear a lot of music that you feel like, ‘Oh my gosh, you just pulled my soul out and put it on display.’ I think that's what that song did for me. christfanatics.blogspot.ca/2014/09/rapper-lecrae-on-faith-spirituality-and.html

Talib Kweli's amazing response to the idiotic article written by master douche, Stefan Schumacher "True fans celebrate what they have already received, they don’t whine like spoiled children about not receiving things they were never owed in the first place. When (and if) an artist shares their art, it is a privilege not a right. Try to remove your personal feelings from that equation." medium.com/cuepoint/in-defense-of-ms-hill-6fa84ba81d63
