Just read this yesterday. Pretty bad news in my opinion. Link to article: blogs.sohh.com/ya_heard/archives/2006/03/post_29.htmlArticle: "Is Lauryn Hill Sabotaging the New Fugees Album? Every since the news of the Fugees reuniting at Dave Chappelle’s block party spread hip hop fans have been eagerly awaiting an album from the group. When the single “Take It Easy” hit it was immediately embraced by fans and critics, even being featured in a Verizon commercial. The follow up single “Foxy” has not been greeted with the same warm reception however. Word is the single that was produced by Lauryn - - excuse me, Miss Hill - - is not being felt at all by the big wigs over at Sony. Wyclef and Pras are also rumored not to like any of the new tracks that they have recorded so far and are only keeping the peace so that Miss Hill doesn’t stall on the project any further. Let’s all pray that Miss Hill’s diva antics don’t construct a totally wack album. Its one thing for her to enjoy experimenting with different wigs and colonial inspired clothing but I hope that doesn’t translate into something fans can’t stomach."

The only part I don't believe is the part where they say that Sony doesn't like foxy. It doesn't make any sense because we made a poll on both forums, and everyone seems to prefer Foxy. Anyway, Who knows when the album will come out. I've stopped waiting. I don't really care anymore. I still like them and support them, but you know, the album drops when it drops. And if they can't do this right ( get in the studio together and work their issues out), then I don't want a fugees album.

Well....Maybe Columbia should start doing what the fans really want. Almost everyone would agree that they would rather a L boogie album over a Fugees album to start. Not that she shouldnt do a Fugee's album, but its really hard I can imagine, to have a finished project ready, and you are told: oh wait, lets do this first. Bump dat! I understand her anger. At the same time, I think that she should still put her best forward regardless....her name is still a part of the success or failure. It's really a very tough spot to be in.

As far as I thing the music industry is all about the money.period.I liked the old Fugees, they had special vibe...I wasnt on any of their concert but I ve seen over and over again every clip, video or tv aperince and they have lost it. The thru vibe,from 96 is gone. I respect the "new" Fugees, dont like the songs so much as their work from decade ago, but ok - they changed. In my opinion they are not givig their soul in what their are doing - at least they are trying?Dont know what to say after I read that they are not even in the same studio I was really hoping that that is/war a rumor...They singned a contract and they must do it. Thats showbissnes and I hate such a things but thats how It goes and everybody should think about that before they signed anything. I have the felling,and maybe Im wrong!,that they dont care anymore and that makes me mad or sad or whatever...Is it so hard to post 2 lines over the net over 10 years for example? Other artist do that(ok some of them).but a word, thru explanation,anything?? You know what? I dont care anymore of their explanation especialy from ms.Hill or whatever(I really respect her and love her music) ,some of us have their problems in their lives,even more bigger than a cheatin husband or findinng them selfs. But ok. I could write and write about this issue but leave it that way. I would like as a fan and person who growed on their music some thru facts or anything, and this may be roud, but If they hadnt us they would not be popular or have such money or sucess. Im tired of reading all this shit about the new album and hope for it to come as soon as posible because every few weeks there is a problem. Sorry for my bad english, I really like them sooo much...and I wish them luck and everything!! but Im a little bit mad and I had to wrote this post....

All the fans are angry. At this rate I wonder if they will have any fans left.

Something is definitely going on....rumors are happening and i can't really pay attention to those. Here is the reality. Fugees are back! how ever they're making the songs...they are being made. Lauryn wants to be Ms. Hill. she feels she deserves that. Whether or not the group is truly happy with each other and the music i don't know. i know i like "take it easy" and I love "foxy".....COLUMBIA needs to release "foxy" this spring because my peoples love that joint which is a good sign....
the album will come out when it comes out. based on the first two songs, i think they'll be fine. lauryn is gonna have to have her lyrics in the liner notes cause some of it gets muffled. Critics and haters just wanna bring negative energy. Let's be real, Fugees may not blow up like before...but they need to keep doin what they doin....interview (TOGETHER)..shows, and hustle.
and the black eye peas comparisons is just annoying. fugees ain't never made no "MY HUMPS"

Yeah, I hate the B.E.P comparisons. They ain't bad, but you can't compare them to fugees.
