FINALLY some positive reaction to the great talent of Lauryn Hill. It still saddens me that people won't let her grow as an artist. She was practically a child when MisEducation was released. However, the gift God has placed in her and that everyone fell in love with is still there. It has only become refined over time. I just hope people don't fall prey to the media and their plight to bring her down by exploiting every piece of negativity they can about her, and really other artist as well. Unfortunately, in this society people love negativity.
I hope the Pras appearance is a sign that all three of them are serious about making more music in the future. The world is craving for REAL Conscious Music. Lauryn is a jewel to Hip Hop/Soul and should really be applauded more for her contributions. She has been continuously performing now for over a year, I'm hoping this is a sign that new music is on the way! Let's keep our fingers crossed! Well Done Lauryn!

"After drawing fan criticism about her previous live shows, Lauryn Hill promised at the beginning of her set to perform the songs from her The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill album as they were recorded. Unfortunately, the plan was thrown out the window pretty quickly as she rapped to a ridiculously sped-up version of "Lost Ones." In fact, many of Ms. Hill's classics were performed quite differently from how fans may have remembered. Still, she did thrill audiences with almost-flawless renditions of "Doo Wop (That Thing)" and "To Zion." There was also a Fugees reunion of sorts when Pras joined his former partner to rock "Ready or Not," but the warring Wyclef was nowhere to be found." www.mtv.com/news/articles/1670229/nas-lauryn-hill-wutang-thrill-fans-at-rock-bells.jhtml

Hill And Michel Stage Partial Fugees Reunion Hip-hop star Lauryn Hill has paved the way for a full Fugees reunion after reuniting with former bandmate Pras Michel onstage at a music festival in New York. The Everything Is Everything singer/rapper was one of the headlining acts at the Big Apple leg of the Rock the Bells festival series on Saturday (03Sep11), and she performed her classic album The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill in its entirety. Hill was unhappy with the sound quality throughout her set and repeatedly interrupted her songs to have words with the audio engineers, causing fans to grow restless. But the audience screamed in excitement when she introduced her Fugees friend Michel to the stage midway through a performance of the group's track Fu-Gee-La, showing their affection for one another by hugging at the end. Michel congratulated Hill on the July (11) birth of her sixth child, while Hill said of her pal's surprise appearance, "They just turn up! That's how the Fugees do!" They went on to sing Ready or Not, and closed out the set with their smash hit, Killing Me Softly, with the usually fiercely-private Hill bringing her young kids out to wave to the crowd. It was the first time the Fugees stars had appeared in public together since 2006, when the trio, with Wyclef Jean, split for the second time, two years after regrouping. At the time of the break-up, cousins Michel and Jean blamed Hill's "issues" for their separation and claimed she needed psychiatric help - but it was clear on Saturday that the Ghetto Superstar hitmaker and Hill have since worked out their differences. Other Rock the Bells acts included soul icon Erykah Badu, Raekwon and Ghostface Killah of Wu-Tang Clan, Cypress Hill and Nas, who brought Hill back to the stage later that night for their collaboration If I Ruled the World (Imagine That), which served as the event finale. www.contactmusic.com/news.nsf/story/hill-and-michel-stage-partial-fugees-reunion_1243292

The Ladies Rockin’ the Bells: Erykah Badu & Lauryn Hill Rock The Bells 2011 finally made its way to New York City. The line-up on the main stage started with Random Axe. This year was a huge year for them and they owned the stage like veterans. You already know they blew the house down. Then came Black Star. Shout out to Mos Def for showing tha Lady Blogga love ( yes, yes y’all he knows the name). Looking like he just stepped off a Broadway stage, Mos Def and Talib Kweli showed the new school how its done. Then reppin’ the left coast was Cypress Hill. Bringing their old school “Insane in the Membrane” along with their new tracks. As usual, they repped it well. Next up were the ladies… Erykah Badu and Lauryn Hill were the ladies Rockin’ the Bells this year. It was dope to see this women juggling their work and family as they both had their offspring in tow. RTB never had any women on the bill until Jasmine Solano opened in 2009 and Lauryn Hill headlined last year. IT’s ABOUT TIME GUERILLA UNION!!! Erykah Badu killed her set. Performing in khakis, a jean shirt and some dope ass gold boots, she went old school to new school… east coast to west coast and did the damn thing. She is flawless in person and her performance was top notch. Singing all the classics from Baduizm with some others sprinkled in, she had dudes screaming her name and singing her chorus… And not many women can do that without exposing themselves. Lol Next was Lauryn Hill. While some people believe she killed her set, others seem to think she stunk it up. Opening with “Lost Ones” and “Ex Factor” she definitely stepped her set up from last year’s performance. Coming with the Miseducation of Lauryn Hill library, she moved through her set at a slow pace at first. Dragging out the tunes too long at some points, she finally picked up the pace and moved along. Ms. Hill came equipped with an elaborate set and entourage. She had about 5 or 6 different stylists and assistants and she yelled at all of them for something. She seemed very demanding in her requests. She even felt the need to come off stage and get spruced up while the crowd waited. Yea, go figure. Closing with traditional FuGee classics Ready or Not and FuGee La, Pras joined her on stage for a mini-reunion. Although it was 2 out of 3, They brought the FuGees alive. This by far was the best few minutes of her performance. Lauryn ended with Killing Me Softly and even blessed the crowd with the presence of her children, minus the newborn. She is still dope and I hope she continues her quest for a comeback. While she’s proven she can still rock the classics, we need her in the studio with new material… ASAP thaladyblogga.com/2011/09/04/the-ladies-rockin-the-bells-erykah-badu-lauryn-hill/
