Of course she hasn't got nothing on Lauryn. I just think its funny how Wycelf is the producer behind this song, he even said on this radio show recently that he thinks she's the new Lauryn Hill
But I think Ms Hill is fully aware of whats going on, she spoke of her clones in the Essence article back in 2006
''I’ve seen my style, my look, everywhere. I wasn’t really trying to share my style, I was just trying to be me and exist. Instead I’ve seen my concepts, my ideas, my creative birthright be exploited, appropriated, copied and reproduced. And that was painful. "

Now I'm sure you guys have all heard of Estelle. Since 'American boy' blew up she's been getting a lot of promotion with some comparing her to Ms. Hill. Her latest single See's her teaming up with Wyclef on a song which has Lauryn written all over it, in fact some people are calling it a 'Doo Woop, pt2', because of the lyrical content. But what do you guys think, and I wonder what Lauryn thinks of all these new artists biting on her stlye? www.youtube.com/watch?v=A2iSIdiEGNE

U know I think this is really inspiring to see the image being turned into painting. There is something quite compelling about them, in fact they remind me of Judy Garland in her later days for some reason

...Well I don't think Lauryn will mind cause when I saw her in london with the fugees a few years ago and she was singing lost ones she switched it to lil kims put your lighters up!
Of course it doesn't top the original, but it just reinforces the legacy of Ms.Hill and the medication!

Yeah he was more diplomatic in this interview and so he should be. Slagging her off is not going to make your album sell more, and thats why he's having to offer giving a new car to people to buy the album cause they wouldn't get it otherwise, well I know I wont, thats 4sure!

...Well I got excited for a hot minute and then saw the tracklist, and I was like I've heard all these songs before.
Not sure whether this is a good bad thing. If it is legit maybe Columbia are just releasing it cause they've given up on Lauryn actually releasing a proper album, or maybe there teasing people with a taster of what will be featured on the album, when or if its ever released!
Anyways whoever gets hold of the mixtape upload it onto this site so I can dowload some of these tunes, especially the poem 'motives and thoughts' [lol]

Well I'll be definitely buying the new Erykah Badu album, because she is the truth and she's another artist who hasn't comprised to get more mainstream success like my girl Lauryn.
I love the fact that even though she's got a new album to promote and she's been gone for a hot minute she's not trying to use Lauryn as a cheap shot to give her more publicity like other shameless celebrities...[cough....Wycelf!]
That is because she is a woman who has integrity and is not afraid to acknowledge the other great artist which she stands on par with...in fact it would be interesting if they worked together on something together!

I'm tempted to buy this magazine, but I havent bought it in about 6 years. It seemed as if they were slagging her off, but I'm glad that they didnt take another shot at her. Do you know if I can read this online?

Thanks for sharing this. She was and still is the most revelvant artist of our generation. It was really interesting how towards the end it kind of became more an counselling session or an emotional out pour from the interviewee and some of the other women in the room.
If she wants Lauryn really could be the next Oprah Winfrey with her own chat show, she has too much knowledge and insight to keep it to herself!

If im being honest about this, I dont take this as good news. Whilst bringing children into this world is never a bad thing, Ms.Hill has fans to attend to. I'm afraid that she might have to delay the release of her forthcoming album if these rumours are true. We'eve all be patient but having a 5th child will lessen the amount of time she'll be able to commit to her career!
Amyways I'm going to wait till an official statement comes out, cause I think this could be misinformation or a distortion of information!

I really couldnt care less what this record executive guy says cause he was one of the producers who sued her back in 1998 over the miseducation album, so I think he's got a hidden agenda.
What Lauryn needs to do is break away from Columbia, and move to a more independent label that will be more supportive and give her total creative freedom.
I mean the way he was putting it was that she has no intention of putting out music, if that was case was has just acquired new management, and recording new music this fall.
But I can understand even more why she doesnt want to put music out with idiots like that who only care about record sales.

Yeah I saw it years ago, she was always a star. They should really bring back that programme 'before they were rockstars' and 'driven', I found it quite inspiring!
