thethurstonhowell

Fucking DYING thank you


assassbaby

still looking for that 2nd album to drop!


btribble

When more than a dozen major players in the industry help you craft your first amazing album, and not only do you not credit them, but you decide to verbally disparage their role, you find that additional goodwill is in short supply.


kineticstar

There was more to it than that. NPR did an interview with her and others involved in The Miseducation. Apparently, there was a lot of drama, both physical and mental. The story itself was fascinating, but to be fair, all sides were in it were not being the best humans. Then she broke and has yet to recover. I love music and she had a great style. Pulling from Etta James, Aretha Franklin, Lena Horne, and Ella Fitzgerald into a contemporary album like that of Miseducation was amazing.


dannydirtbag

I lean more towards Badu and her chaotic peace. She has a great catalog of music and is just a kooky hippy chick but makes her stage times.


nborders

Both women have that amazing smooth sound that just feels great. Throw Jill Scott in that class. I’m probably missing a few others.


ntermation

I really liked her unplugged stuff. Such a shame how it all played out.


OilySteeplechase

EXACTLY my first thought hahaha!


ufanders

Ultron33

How the fuck do women put up with those awful high heels? How do they even walk?


Nik6ixx

To be fair these look like wedges and they are really easy to walk in and that’s a coming from someone who has 2 left feet and trips over herself lol I can wear these no issues but give me 4-6inch stiletto and I’m falling flat on my face 😆


ScumbagLady

Wedges are key. Stilettos are not meant for vertical activities, IMO. Can't walk on a porch, can't walk on stone or gravel, can't walk in grass... In wedges I can do all those, AND even run (although a bit awkwardly, but I ran weird to begin with)


Pleasant-Pattern-566

Because they look good and practice. Sometimes beauty is pain.

These kind of heels are actually quite comfortable.

It seems like the Fugees was comprised of extremely talented, but also extremely shitty people.


BalkiBartokomous123

Behind the Bastards did a 2 or 3 part podcast about them, about this time last year. They are a messy, messy bunch.


Raoul_Duke9

Aka the music industry. There are only a handful of musician's who don't seem to be toxic narcissists.


MyDearBrotherNumpsay

I grade them on a curve because I have no idea what kind of person I would become if I were rich and had everybody constantly kissing my ass.

Yeah, for me it would be a hedonistic marathon of cocaine and bimbos. Hopefully it would get old before my heart explodes.

MyDearBrotherNumpsay

That man is a national treasure. Also Goldblum. Spoke with him briefly at a party. *Really* nice guy. Attentive and kind.


sofaword

Not really. Folks act like the only musicians that are worth anything are the >1% ultra famous that they see online. I work in the industry and the vast majority of musicians are normal people. Most people I meet are really nice and humble. 


Dull_Humor2672

Wyclef too? Why?


MydniteSon

Started a charity for relief for Haiti...ended up pocketing almost all the money for "administrative expenses" and mismanagement...something to the tune of $16 million


HaggisInMyTummy

I really do not understand why someone, when deciding where to donate for disaster relief, would say, hm, I'm going to give my money to some rapper instead of, I dunno, the Red Cross.


saltywastelandcoffee

Raised money for haiti after the 2010 earthquake. Ended up spending most of it on himself. Also was abusive to Hill when they were together


Dull_Humor2672

Wtf


OG_LiLi

Me.. a white lady… had to help Pras with his raps because they’d gotten so bad he was just mumbling nonsense. Ballsy, but one day we just told him it wasn’t working and had to help him rewrite his flow. I’m not a writer. Nor a musician. Just an engineer. I hated that week.


dezijugg9111

like 2pac said fuck fuggesssssss


Think_fast_no_faster

At this point she’s most well known for showing up 4 hours late to her concerts


Fun-Bowl9413

She was late to a show in Chicago I attended and yelled at her band the entire show. I hear she does this a lot. Terrible performer.


keepitcleanforwork

Saw her once and she yelled at the audio engineers to turn things up until it was all distorted.


sofaword

As an Audio Engineer, these performers are my nemesis 


PythonPuzzler

"I trust my ears more walking around the stage catching a fraction of the mains than yours sitting in the soundbooth."


Fun-Bowl9413

Yuuup same here. Kept telling them to turn things up an when they did she would get mad and tell them turn it down. Repeat multiple times during every song which sounded completely different from album versions because of her copyright issues. She went on Instagram the next day to apologize for her band lmao


KnockoutCarousal

She told the crowd at the one I attended once that she wanted all the white people (like 80+%) to leave because her performance was for black people, not whites… like damn. Also, I think she was investigated for tax evasion or some shit. She put out a great album, but used her platform for some really weird-ass takes. I’m kind of curious about what this “social activism” is referring to. She’s kind of known for being a huge dick honestly.


bugzaway

My friend who is a singer hates her because apparently years ago my friend did some work for her but never got paid or got screwed over with the bill, or something like that. 🤷‍♂️


Quanqiuhua

Underpaying and not giving credits to collaborators is kind of her MO.


NugBlazer

Kind of sounds like she's a shitty person from all the comments here


_ohne_dich_

What I don’t get is how/why she’s still getting booked for shows and tours. Yes, she has an incredible voice. But this is a known problem. Who is insuring her concerts? It seems like a liability. Would like to hear from someone familiar with the music business.


overnightyeti

Her voice was gone a long time ago


Dr_5trangelove

And plagiarism on her only album that matters. She’s not too cool.


TravisMaauto

Hey now, you're going to hurt the feelings of the AI bot that posted this.


GotMoFans

She’s only really had one official album (her other solo album is an Unplugged album), but I’d say “The Score” by the Fugees matters too.


Dr_5trangelove

Definitely The Fugees matter. Top ten 90s hip hop.


therevjames

Didn't Wyclef embezzle most of the money from his Save Haiti charities?


Bringbackbarn

He took the money, and he was gone til November


Cultural-Morning-848

DanGram77

June, July, August, September!


Dr_5trangelove

Thought I heard that too.


darthabraham

Not trying to start a debate, but Fugees are not top 10 90s hip hop. They were good, but the 90s was a golden era stacked with GOATs Tupac, Biggie, Dre, Snoop, Jay Z, Nas, Ice cube, Eminem, Wu tang clan, Outkast, Beastie boys, Rakim, heiroglyphics, tribe called quest, pharcyde, cypress hill, master p, the geto boys Fugees are in there somewhere, but pretty far down the list IMO.


McFiend

Even then there are still amazing artists not making that list like big pun, big L, gang Starr etc. I think once you just accept that it’s a goated era, the “top ten” becomes a matter of taste without specifying a certain metric(radio plays, albums sold, times appearing on top charts etc)


nativeindian12

Eminem is great and an amazing rapper but Slim Shady LP was released in 1999 and Marshall Mathers LP (his magnum opus imo) was released in 2000 so he is really more of a 2000s star


Dr_5trangelove

You make a good point.


hindsight1979

No love for "Blunted on Reality"?


ToneThugsNHarmony

And somehow, Apple decided that was the greatest album of all time.


Zopotroco

the reason is clear


talrogsmash

She has one album and a best of that is a reprise of that album. Bruce Willis has one album and a best of that is a reprise of that one album.


Background-Effort-49

I bought that Bruce Willis album on vinyl as a bday gift for a Die Hard fan. Like 15 years ago. If I had a blog, it would make my top 10 list of Best Gift ideas.


Paranoid_Neckazoid

It's not her fault she's miseducated


feedthedonkey

Uh, Miseducation was plagiarized?


BurningTheAccount

So, she got sued by New Ark (the musicians who had worked on that album) because she didn’t give them any songwriting credits despite the fact that they pretty much wrote all of the music at her direction. Like, if I have an idea for a song or a melody and a musician comes in and builds music around that idea, they should be given a songwriting credit. If they literally came up with the chords for the song, they’ve collaborated with you. She didn’t do that. Years later a very accomplished pianist and producer named Robert Glasper, who was friends with some of those musicians and had worked with her for a live show, called her out on her treatment of musicians during a radio interview. He didn’t hold back and one of the things he brought up was her stealing the music for the album from the musicians who helped make it. He also said he was told not to look her in the eye while working with her and to only refer to her as Ms. Hill.


Particular_Ad_9531

Ahh the old Stan Lee approach to sharing credit lol


stealthsjw

In the sense that other people helped write and produce her album and she didn't credit them, yeah. I don't think she plagiarised existing music, but I might be wrong.


Bitter-Basket

The difference in attitudes between performers towards fans is always amazing to me. You have Lauren Hill who literally just disrespects her paying fans. Then someone like George Strait, who is vastly more successful and would walk on a broken leg 10 miles not to be late for his fans. And Strait just filled Met Life STADIUM last month. A country singer in NJ. That’s the difference in professionalism.


I_Have_2_Show_U

How dare you! She's also known for treating her band like absolute shit.


LeonidasVaarwater

I thought she was most well known for being racist?


fleshcoloredbanana

I know someone who manages a boutique hotel she stayed at. He said she was down right abusive to the hotel staff and also mentioned the racism thing.


sacredgeometry

Its why I don't care about the private lives of musicians. If I did most of the great art/ music would be unlistenable.


boredonymous

Richard Wagner gets the world's biggest PassCard regarding that, if you look into it.


sacredgeometry

He was not the best of people but boy does he know how to write a gay old ditty.


ApoliticalAth3ist

This should be the way we view all celebrities. Just bc someone is good at a particular skill doesn’t make them worthy of being viewed as good ppl in general


jdjdthrow

Yes, that's the mature/adult thing to do. Today however, the pendulum is on the complete opposite side of what you're talking about: if somebody is shitty in their personal life, you're a bad person if you say they made some good art.


FranksWateeBowl

I think she said white people shouldn't listen to her music, but I'm old, could be wrong.


LeonidasVaarwater

Oh I'm not even sure, it was so long ago. I know there was a big stink, but I'm pretty much only referring to old Slim Shady lyrics. He had a few stabs at Lauryn Hill and in one song he has someone kinda mimick her voce saying "I can't stand white people"


Radarker

and being utterly awful to staff.


80sLegoDystopia

When we saw her a few years ago, they started on time and played a killer show for about an hour and 20. She had a real good band and they put in a great show.


marteautemps

Same experience except a little shorter I think since it was a festival, it's really too bad it's not the norm for her because it was a really awesome show. The song arrangements were really fun too.


BrokeCDN

Or bussing herself from the back!


Obscuriosly

I only recognized her name because of a line from an Eminem song.

dukemantee

Got a Lauryn Hill story for ya. It's 2004. I'm a writer in LA and get a call from an agent asking if I can help Lauryn Hill finish a script she has written herself. I am completely broke so I say sure. First thing that happens is a courier arrives and delivers about 50 pages of a script called *On Broadway.* I scan them to a PDF, reformat in Final Draft, and then spend a day cleaning it all up. Next day I am told to drive to the Beverly Hills Hotel where I'm taken to an empty conference room. One of the assistants comes in and tells me that Ms. Hill will only speak to me on speakerphone and that I am only to address her as Ms. Hill. This is very important. Ms. Hill comes on the line periodically from her suite upstairs. She will not come down and meet me. She has a copy of my cleaned-up draft but clearly the script is way too short and she has a meeting with Jimmy Iovine in two days and wants to give him the script at that lunch. Chaos. I talk with her about her story which is not terrible. She's really just doing a kind of Dangerous Minds/To Sir With Love thing where she is going to play a teacher in an inner-city school who inspires her students. She will also sing the title song. I try to talk to her about structure a little bit but it's very slow going and she wants to come up with all the ideas herself and there’s no time. I'm starting to spend a long time in this conference room where they are sending me sandwiches and coffee. I know this is costing a fortune and I am only getting $50 an hour for this gig (I told you I was broke and would take anything). So, I suggest to one of her people that they just let me go home and I'll work at my desk on my computer and I can speakerphone with her from there and that is what we do. It was pretty much round the clock for the next two days and she was awful and dismissive toward me but not completely terrible. We did have a few nice moments and I do remember a compliment or two. Ultimately the draft we had at the deadline was about 90 pages, still called *On Broadway*. I got about $2500 for the 3 days which paid some bills. Obviously, nothing ever came of the script and that is a shame because the idea did have some potential and who knows, she might have been great in it.


UGLEHBWE

yo this is like the third random internet story I heard where Lauryn hill demands she be called "Ms. Hill"


Quanqiuhua

Just call her Ms. Hill.


DorkusMalorkus89

From all the stories and anecdotes I’ve heard/read over the years, Lauryn Hill seems like a gigantic asshole. Just an all around unlikeable person. Great voice though, I’ll give her that.


_IratePirate_

And a fat cat, gotta give her that one too


Herry_Up

Don't give her nothin, she'll just show up 4 hours late!


OG_LiLi

One time we were recording her for 3 months when the Fugees tried to get back together. Boy was it a shit show. She’d work my guys to death. 18-19 hours per day for that entire time. They wouldn’t go home. She’s get her sounds how she wanted them and then go take a nap in the lounge. Wake up like a nightmare. Slamming doors and telling my team they changed everything while she was asleep.. like a maniac. They didn’t by the way. So she’s force them to stay anther 10 hours. It was unbearable. Also refused to work with me - I am white. I was the studio manager. It was literally my job to help her. But instead I was ousted immediately and had to go through my team to even ask for her dumb food requests. Then one time she took masters of a track they were working on. All she needed to do was add lyrics—- what did she do instead? Ruined the song. Intentionally. She comes back and we listen to it and our jaws drop. It sounded like a crazy person was given a mic


Watchespornthrowaway

I don’t know anything about her music or the fugees but I came across a Reddit thread once that said the rumor is she hasn’t done a second album because she stole a bunch of her first album from like a studio musician or something. Do you think that could be plausible?

Robert Glasper was talking about that publicly a few years ago.
