I agree with your point. However, artist have been re-arranging their music since the beginning of time, Prince does it all the time. According to reports Lauryn is touring to finance her album. After the Grammy debacle I've learned to just let things play themselves out.

"I don't need anybody to market or promote me. If people don't want to hear this music, then it's not for them. You cannot please everybody." Lauryn Hill
No one is forcing you to listen. This is common from many people that I find that aren't of the same inclination.

After the Grammy debacle I've learned to just let things play themselves out. It is not about re-arranging her materials. Im aware that artits have been doing it. But she has done it for soooo long that it has became boring. There is nothing there. Her creativity and artistic skills will be evaluated. And i know she is very talented. Well i will be waiting for that new album. Hopefully it will not be when she turns 50.

Im talking about how it has been soo long that she is performing her old materials. AinA it seems to me that u need comprehension skills u are not discerning what i wrote. Ur quote is so inconsistent with what im saying.

So basically your issue is that she hasn't dropped an album in ages? Well, I'm pretty sure most fans share the same issue. lol
She is supposedly touring to finance an album and she has most recently dropped the Cradle in Bethlehem and the Nina Simone songs - so I guess we know she is feeling inspired. Hopefully an album comes soon.

Well i will be waiting for that new album. Hopefully it will not be when she turns 50. I think for those of us who have been following her it has become boring, but for most thats not the case. To be honest, I'm just now starting to see her audiences accept these compositions she has been performing for the last 3-4 years. Thats why its always exciting when we get clips of new music from her because everything has been sort of slow. She is basically now a performing artist. Which I really have no problem with as it has caused her voice to get extremely better. At this point in time, I usually just check in for new music. lol I will say though, that the internet has destroyed fans and their expectations of music. Surprises no longer exist, as we can watch concerts on Youtube and Instagram, where before we had to basically attend concerts to see what the artist would do. Beyonce has been performing the same song composition, while doing the same dances to those songs since 2003, so I won't be too hard on Ms. Hill.

I think you share a common frustration. I challenge your argument saying the creativity is lacking though. I think for the past years we have seen more of Lauryn Hill's musical creativity rather than her vocal/writing creativity. I mean the way lost ones has been transformed through the years is trully amazing. Being that it is simple beat to begin with its cool seeing everything she has done with it. I honestly watch her videos and go to the concerts more to hear the band. It's truly amazing. You have to remember also that her A LOT of her career has been based off of remixing other's people music (except for unplugged).
Miseducation
2. Lost ONes (samples and uses the melody of sister nancy's "bam bam") 3. ex factor (samples "ice cream" from wu tang) 5. Doo Wop (Samples the Marvelettes "Playboy") 6. Superstar (samples " Come on baby light my fire" i forget the artist)
Don't get me started on The Score. My point is that, I think this is what she has done for a large part of her career. Now she has gone about remixing her own. I'm sure she has some gems. I really wish we got that album in 2005. I know there would be a lot of soul on it. (Hustle, The Passion, Guarding the Gates, Damnable Heresies). It's pretty awesome that she is a performing artists. Do i wish i had these tracks on record so that I could just go listen to them every day? YES, but at the same time, having many live versions of the songs has it's own unique spark.

AinA im just going to ignore u. Cause i dont know what your problem is. U seem like an arrogant individual so fall back real hard. You dont want it with me. I just think these types of threads are silly and don't really have any substance. We're all anxious for new material, your frustration with that doesn't warrant you to go after her creativity. As Oprah mentioned, there are many people who do not follow Lauryn like we do, but they are still fans, they just aren't on the up and up with all her tours and remixes, so for them the remixes are new and occasionally she even changes the remixes that we know. I just think you aren't considering the full picture and so what ends up happening is people create inane threads (which will dry up this site). Her career (like many) in part, has been in REMIXING the old with the new, so remixes are a standard piece in her musical repertoire. Lauryn's music, old and new, always brings new insight and I gather many truly don't deconstruct all those layered meanings; they simply go for the more conspicuous aspects and so it seems 'boring.' I have issues with people who come at people side-ways, and especially if they don't check their own skill set. Come correct. As Lauryn stated, you cannot please everyone and if you don't like what she's doing, don't listen, just wait for the new album.

You so quick to comment with no understanding whatsoever. Go fix yourself not a very nice person I don't have an attitude. I think you should probably take a step back and look at your initial post, second post and even this one and assess how you respond to people. I haven't been rude (even with all your ad homs, which are false assumptions based on your own emotions). However, your post about Lauryn in many ways was rude and non-factual in many regards. My understanding is just fine. I didn't mention anything about a "threat." smh lol. I can't with some of y'all. You can dish it out, but you can't take no heat, even a little steam lol. Lots of projection on this board. Anyway, I'm out.

You need comprehension skills. What heat are you bringing? I dont feel it.dont suffocate from your own heat. You make no sense with your ignorant self. U act like you are the moderator of this board. I wish i could ban you.

According to reports Lauryn is touring to finance her album. I will just comment this ; for me, it's not the best way to finance her album, because it costs money (musicians to pay, equipment, concert hall to rent, ...) and lots of time (rehearsals, ...). Notice that some videos of live performance has been posted on various Youtube accounts which had very little subscribers ; for example, the live performance of "Love is Stronger than Pride" was posted on the Howard Theatre Youtube account: 1200 subscribers; the video was posted a year ago; there are now approximately 60 000 views. Let's do a little operation. Proportionnally to the number of subscribers, if this video would have been posted on the "laurynhillvevo" account with their 74000 subscribers, it would have approximately 3 millions of views. With the Youtube monetization, it represents 3000 dollars of incomes .... The acoustic performances of LH have a beautiful success on Youtube ; so, i think if they want money to finance the album and preserve time to work it, they should post some videos of live and acoustic performances of songs like I Gotta Find Peace of Mind, Conform to Love, Love is Stronger than pride, .... on the vevo account and monetize them, and, why not, release the mp3 version of them on Itunes. The same thing should have been done for "A Cradle in Bethelehem" or for the live performance of Water, posted some days ago by the producer Trackhouse.
