 www.google.fr/url?q=http://worldswagg.com/lauryn-hill-surprise-show-in-brooklyn-photos-recap/&ust=1368653949496433&usg=AFQjCNE7UEkqr32UVMt2pTYM72TeHTho9A..The dissonance peaked with the first performance of new material the song “Black Rage” (also the title of her forthcoming Lauryn Hill tour with Nas) which feels more like offbeat spoken word than melody–but 2/3 through the song, something pretty amazing happened. Repeating and riffing on the phrases of her tone poem–which included “Black Rage takes many forms”; “I remember the whips and the dog bites” became “I remember, so I don’t fear / I don’t fear when they come tp take me away…” As the band quieted the backing track at Ms. Hill’s direction the tone poem became “I don’t fear when they come to take me away / I don’t fear when they come to take me to jail…” The crowd exploded in emotion and solidarity and for a few virtuosic seconds Lauryn embodied everything that the crowd had been wanting to project on her; the power of art, the fearlessness in the face of oppression and a deeper perspective on where those things fit into the big picture of life. |

With the weight of going to jail on her shoulders, coupled with the amount of humiliation the press has conjured up over the years as an attack, Hill is supposed to break. But as she belted out the hook to ‘Killing Me Softly,’ the opening record of her two-hour long set, it became clear Hill would not fumble. She stood on black heels, using her strength to hype up the crowd while continuously directing her band. Two guitarists swam around her while her background singers donned big curly afros, all except for one. Her DJ was responsible for keeping the crowd engaged after A Tribe Called Quest’s Q-Tip took off. Hill’s DJ spun records like ‘War’ by reggae legend Bob Marley. “It doesn’t matter if your black or white, just listen,” he instructed over the reggae tune. Twenty-five minutes into her set, Hill’s black heels were off. The kick off of the shoes were a demonstration of how much the rapper-singer wanted to give her all in what some assumed to be her last concert before prison. It wasn’t until the performance of her song ‘Black Rage’ that you felt her determination. “I don’t fear,” she said repeatedly. She closed her eyes, sometimes dipping her head back and repeating “I don’t fear.” She took off once for a quick two-minute break, and during her disappearance, the crowd chanted “Lauryn! Lauryn! Lauryn!” It was obvious, the crowd was in love. Despite the tax evasion charges against Hill, her fans refused to waver. They didn’t hide their love; they pleaded “We’ve missed you!” She shouted back “I’ve missed you too.” “Too much addiction no consciousness,” the former Fugees member said during her performance of her latest single, ‘Neurotic Society.’ The purpose of the show was so she could play this new record, one which she clearly felt so passionate about. She aggressively asked everyone to listen to the words of the song; in fact, she even directed her band to play slower so everyone could pay attention. “A lot of words, a lot of thoughts to fill up that 10 year gap,” she said. “We needed to hear that!” a fan shouted. “We’re living in a toxic society,” Hill insisted. The mother of six continued to hint at releasing new music. “I’m going to compile the music I did over the years, that I didn’t get to share with you and share that with you,” ‘The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill’ creator revealed as the crowd roared. She then performed ‘Jammin’’ and ‘Could You Be Loved’ by Bob Marley. Original cuts off ‘The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill’ were also a treat for those in the audience, including ‘Everything Is Everything’ and ‘Doo Wop (That Thing).’ During her closing performance she sang, “I’m coming back, no slack!” Hill’s children were in attendance at the event, although they shouldn’t have been, according to the woman of the evening. “They should be in bed,” Hill stated. She opened the stage for her son to perform a rap song, one he says he’s been working on for a long time. Her 5-year-old daughter Sarah wasn’t shy, she high-fived her mother’s fans — those with out-stretched arms — in the front row. No matter what happens, Lauryn Hill has fans indebted in her. When she returns, she will always be received with open arms. |

Heels came off. It got serious. #barefoot #laurynhill #MLH #neuroticsociety #sheback #live #rush #realmessage #amazeseats  hop video !! I thought she had shoes on at the beginning of the show, LOL! I was like the 10th person in the venue but I stood on the side. Being short this section provided me the best view without the crush risk and neck strain of being right in the front. |

Wow. So she actually performed Neurotic Society despite that it was a record she never intended to release, and even despite its current unpopularity among her fans.  I guess she feels really strongly about that song. I am curious to know how it sounds live. Did she attempt to flow with the rap? Did she slow down the beat? And is it just me, or is that outfit she is wearing look like a "Prison dress." I wonder if she wore it for that particular purpose. If so, Ms. Hill is REAL!!!  |

LAURYN HILL GIVES FEARLESS SOLO PERFORMANCE AT BROOKLYN’S MUSIC HALL OF WILLIAMSBURG [PHOTOS] by Lathleen Ade-Brown May 15, 2013 6:41 PM With no introduction at Brooklyn’s Music Hall of Williamsburg last night (May 14), a pint-sized Lauryn Hill appeared, draped in an all-black over-sized dress — her toes and finger nails were neatly painted white.

Sooo the new song she did were black rage and...Neurotic Society ?! Nice! But I thought she would have done more unreleased track.... When she said "NS" I thought "New Song" but she was meaning Neurotic Society probably no?

Yes! SLOW IT DOWN! REAL SLOW! REAL SLOW! While this isn't my favorite song by her, I'll admit, it sounds much better live. I can hear what she is saying, and actually enjoy the accompanying music here. I am just curious as to why does rap so fast??? It isn't necessary to haste your words when you want to convey an important message - that is how the message gets lost. And apparently she knows that, since she told the band to slow down. And it also KILLS her rapping. Lauryn is not rapping here, she is talking - speed-talking. I think this song has great potential, but come on Lauryn - SLOW IT DOWN, PLEASE! Why, oh why, did she not release a better record? |

@ Beginning - I'm not a fan of the pace of the song either and agree it sounds better slower but I think she means to create a feeling to go with the message of the song, i.e it makes you uncomfortable and isn't relaxing to hear, just like the content is about a fast paced world moving full steam ahead faster and faster, information overload, confusion etc. That's what I took from it anyway.
The content, as always is mind-blowing!
Love
