Whether or not Miss Hill presents her gift to us in the way that made her famous, I am very grateful to her for sharing more than just her music. She has shared her soul so that others may learn, heal, love, forgive and worship God. Thank you, Sister.
THIS WOMAN IS FOR GOD!IF YOU PEOPLE DON'T UNDERSTAND WHATS GOING ON YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND THE POWER AND SUFFERINGS, OF GOING AGAINST THE ENEMY FLAT OUT!
"There's a lot that could force individual to compromise and to me for me to make music it doesn't really make sense for me to make music if I can't make something that has a purpose." Lauryn Hill
Lauryn Hill fight those fiends don't let them conquer your happiness and your freedom. I know the devil is working really hard but God is greater, wiser, and stronger. Miss. Hill please don't loose faith. #Killuminati #StayPrayedUp #StandUp #WakeUp
Put your head up lauryn hill your bautiful and the most soulful singer and best rapper alive and who has ever lived. You are truly great.but still s I humble. Hotep.
What do u c in hip hop music 2day, Lauryn? Well..."Trace the 'black' music back, and you'll see the pattern"..Deep unplugged and AWAKE;-)..I Love you Lauryn Hill!& May God Bless your Spirit&Soul!...Miss Aheaducated!
Lauryn NEVER has to worry about whos young or whos been here or whatever. The people will ALWAYS love lauryn and will ALWAYS have a desire and need to to have her in our lives.
Lauryn, I love your voice/music so much! That even if it took you 10 more years to make another Hit album. I'll wait to buy your Album. Love that you stay true to yourself on the roller coaster call "LIFE".
I love Lauryn and this interview is good but I'm more surprised that the interviewer was Ya Kid K's sister. Ya Kid K was a black teenage rap/singing phenom way before that was the norm, even b4 Lauryn actually. 'Pump of the Jump Up the Jam' was playing everywhere along with Salt N Pepa's Push It.
@ aadam ali Lauryn Hill did not sell her soul. The Success of Misdeducation was going to be a trapt for her to sell her soul, But she refused she walked away from everything which in many cases others will sell their soul because of enjoyment of fame and money but not Ms. Hill. "All I wanted was to sell $500k"-Lauryn Hill That mean she was never after fame and money
She is in this world, but not of this world. She is ahead of the times. We will never be ready for her. She is in the lifetime ahead of us, we are still struggling with the present, she has moved to the next.
Lauryn Hill is organic in her emotions, poised in her speech, and innovative in how she approaches creating music. I don't know why we as a society are fearful of what we don't understand. We hurl insults to hide our own insecurities. To think, people actually think she suffers mentally. Ok, uh, right.
i think people judge too much. if people would just look beyong the hair and the make-up and actually listened to what she has to say, they'd know that she ISN'T crazy, far from it, and that she is still Lauryn. i mean, did ANYONE pay attention to 'Unplugged'?! she's DEEP, and she's better than ALL dem who think she's crazy. RESPECT.
Ms. HILL it appears...have a very ultra sensitive heart....who appear distrubing but im sure not 2 her...who may had had been nieve when truth spitting the most popular hood discz of all time "the mis-education of Lauryn Hill"...took time 2 reflect on just how powerful her blue bird song message meant 2 the world audience and it's influence...which lm sure didn't go unnotice by the political players the world over...Sister Souljah another one, who hardly reached the proclaim as L.H. but who wrote a simular thesis about hood life and the affects it had on the disporia...who has now shyed from scratching realistic works 2 now scratching fictional works...and when l mentioned how well l enjoyed her book "No Disrepect". oppose 2 a fictional work about a interracial couple she began ranting and disrepecting me. LOL" l doubt these two with very simular paths knew what freedom of speech didn't mean at the beginning...l was standing once on the upper East side on Manhattan lsland and guest who's strolling in my direction with her head angled upward looking care free and straight ahead with this mona lisa smile like she was doing a video shoot was Ms. Lauryn Hill.. and then a few months later l just so happen 2 be visiting someone at a phyc ward and see this collage of photos on the wall and one of the photos was Ms. Hill, wow, and this was several years ago but this was before l heard about all these issues about her...even Sister Souljah def didnt look well at her book signing and quite distrubed with all these kids she had with her..looked nothing like her sexy book cover photo on "No Disrepect." She appeared fat, very insecured and snappish like they both saw something which blew both there minds.
I love youtube because it allows a person to veiws things that they want to see. A lot of these artist are getting pimped and played. She stayed true to herself and her beliefs. She did not have to show her butt or chest to be successful. She showed us her mind, her creativity. Thank you, Mrs. Hill!
As of seventh of may 2013. (today) Lauryn Hill has been arrested for tax evasion in the US. Regarding earnings from 2007 apparently. She admits she has been skint, however this is the "Agency" all over, they could have questioned Lauryn about this years ago but she wasnt trying to come back years ago...Bless you Lauryn. Think about her and keep her close to your hart keep interested in her now. She may be in real danger
Put your head up lauryn hill your bautiful and the most soulful singer and best rapper alive and who has ever lived. You are truly great.but still s I humble. Hotep.
man lauryn said ALL that deep stuff and then the interviewer was like "cool... soooo... about that album though" and lauryn couldn't do anything but laugh smh.
I don't think she is going to make a come back and I think that is a smart decision, i think she recognizes that music is and has become a tool of the devil and she doesn't want part of it, she clearly is saying that she has seen the evil that the industry brings out in ppl and I really don't think she's intrested anymore, and i have to say good for her!!!!!
@PleazurAble2ME You replied to the wrong person. I didn't leave any comments about being Christian or Muslim. I only mentioned the name of the interviewer.
SHE is the best femal rapper of all time Lil kim is nothing Nicki minaj is garbage(musically,nothing personal) and all these little 'hip hop' artists dont know what HIP HOP is
Yeah i thought or sure the title was wrong. What's sad is, she can barely look anyone in the eyes anymore. If you look at her earlier interviews she is very present with the interviewer, but durin this period in er life she has her head down and away a lot. I don't like rumors but I assume abuse.
Lauryn Hill is organic in her emotions, poised in her speech, and innovative in how she approaches creating music. I don't know why we as a society are fearful of what we don't understand. We hurl insults to hide our own insecurities. To think, people actually think she suffers mentally. Ok, uh, right.
What people don't understand they tend to fear, and in a society like this where people are so spiritually blinded I'm not surprised that they think she is crazy, despite all of that, thank God she is strong enough to not the controlled by this evil and corrupt industry, good for Lauryn coz all I see on my tv screen is sex sex sex and more sex corrupting children and young peoples minds . I hope she does another album like her MTV unplugged, food for the spirit, soul and mind.
i love this interview lauren hill is not crazy shes just real and hat she said about music being the vioce of the cooperate today is so true and the perfect example is Miss.Nikki Minaj but i respect her lauren needs another album to show them ............... i just cant wait till she drops a album its finna go triple platinum...........
lauryn hill is the truth. i respect her staying true to herself and only doing music if it has a purpose. people cannot handle someone who is aware of the evil involoved in the industry and someone who chooses to turn away from that and walk their own path
I heard that it has been said that when the interviewers aren't supposed to look her in the eyes and I see she never once made eye contact with the lady. Weird...but I'm glad she's coming back...it was long overdue!
Lauryn is the greatest of all time. She is brilliant & so inspiring! She is all about music with a PURPOSE. it's a travesty that nicki is compared to her. As Lauryn puts it- hip hop is becoming EXPLOITED!
I love how deep she is! She is so soulful, truthful, articulate, beautiful, and talented. She's a wonderful soul. I love her music and I wish she can come back and make more wonderful music.
LOL I just read this comment - that's EXACTLY what I was thinking person below me. She looks like Oprah Winfrey here. HILARIOUS! God bless and help her. Love her gift, praying for her mind.
The rage, years of not getting what she wants, 17 kids, have really taken their toll on Lauryn. She reacted to money, fame and power really badly and couldn't handle it. Also her mindset is one now of thinking herself as a messiah, so no more covers like 'killin me softly'...
She looked like a younger Oprah at first. Very pretty
thought that too
Whether or not Miss Hill presents her gift to us in the way that made her famous, I am very grateful to her for sharing more than just her music. She has shared her soul so that others may learn, heal, love, forgive and worship God. Thank you, Sister.
Her mind is so together. She gets her role in the world and refuses to allow anyone to pervert her purpose. Everybody's soul is not for sale.
THIS WOMAN IS FOR GOD!IF YOU PEOPLE DON'T UNDERSTAND WHATS GOING ON YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND THE POWER AND SUFFERINGS, OF GOING AGAINST THE ENEMY FLAT OUT!
true
Forgive then father 😇
"There's a lot that could force individual to compromise and to me for me to make music it doesn't really make sense for me to make music if I can't make something that has a purpose." Lauryn Hill
I like how she thinks before she speaks , shes trying not to reveal to much about herself and i love that about her
Lauryn Hill fight those fiends don't let them conquer your happiness and your freedom. I know the devil is working really hard but God is greater, wiser, and stronger. Miss. Hill please don't loose faith. #Killuminati #StayPrayedUp #StandUp #WakeUp
I love Lauryn she stayed strong despite it all

Lauryn NEVER has to worry about whos young or whos been here or whatever. The people will ALWAYS love lauryn and will ALWAYS have a desire and need to to have her in our lives.
Lauryn, I love your voice/music so much! That even if it took you 10 more years to make another Hit album. I'll wait to buy your Album. Love that you stay true to yourself on the roller coaster call "LIFE".
I see absolutely nothing crazy about this interview , Lauryn Hill is a musical genius and people need to understand that.
I love Lauryn and this interview is good but I'm more surprised that the interviewer was Ya Kid K's sister. Ya Kid K was a black teenage rap/singing phenom way before that was the norm, even b4 Lauryn actually. 'Pump of the Jump Up the Jam' was playing everywhere along with Salt N Pepa's Push It.
Pump up the jam was the shit 💃🏾

A Rose Still A Rose 💯 well said!!!
I am so impressed, thank you God.
much respect lauryn!!!!!
She is in this world, but not of this world. She is ahead of the times. We will never be ready for her. She is in the lifetime ahead of us, we are still struggling with the present, she has moved to the next.
That's Melanin for you!
I love Lauryn and respect her, she keeps it real and is very true to herself and is a really amazing artist!! : ) God bless this lady!!! x
Love Her!! "...Wisdom is better than silver and gold..." Praise Yah!!
Lauryn Hill is organic in her emotions, poised in her speech, and innovative in how she approaches creating music. I don't know why we as a society are fearful of what we don't understand.

I love how she's taking the whole "crazy" thing and just running with it. Such a smart human being
Yeah folk were talking trash about her makeup and hair but look at Katie Perry, Lady Gaga and Erykah Badu
Im just now starting to understand how powerful music can be. It can be used for good or evil. And right now evil is winning..
She's choosing her words carefully ..
What she is really saying is that they were trying to control her music and practically her life.
Love the way she relate the music to Medicine good one Lauryn love you so much
Lauryn Hill: dropping knowledge for like 8 minutes straight..... Reporter: So what about some new music??? My Reaction: Facepalm....
Lauryn for President
"[Making music] is so much deeper than doing it for profit."
She has so much respect for music and power of music. I love it!!
i think people judge too much. if people would just look beyong the hair and the make-up and actually listened to what she has to say, they'd know that she ISN'T crazy, far from it, and that she is still Lauryn. i mean, did ANYONE pay attention to 'Unplugged'?! she's DEEP, and she's better than ALL dem who think she's crazy.

@sashaynam I quite agree and the fact that we do not realise this shows just how lost we truly are!
She is so articulate.
I know this is off subject, but I keep wanting to clear my throat listening to her... I STILL LOVE YOU GIRL!! WOOOOOOOO!!
Her song "I get out" it's rather powerful.
I love youtube because it allows a person to veiws things that they want to see. A lot of these artist are getting pimped and played. She stayed true to herself and her beliefs. She did not have to show her butt or chest to be successful. She showed us her mind, her creativity. Thank you, Mrs. Hill!
Im loving the comment from 2 conscious...exactly what I was thinking....
she is such an inspiration. makes me cry. We love you miss Hill!
I love her talking voice as much as I love her singing voice
That's not the real lauryn hill. who is that. Look into her and you tell me
shes beautiful with locs i miss them
i cant believe people are questioning her sanity because she gave up the music industry,
@sashaynam Speak for yourself
Thats what happens when your branded as crazy even though you are not :(
She is simply OUTSTANDING.
As of seventh of may 2013. (today) Lauryn Hill has been arrested for tax evasion in the US. Regarding earnings from 2007 apparently. She admits she has been skint, however this is the "Agency" all over, they could have questioned Lauryn about this years ago but she wasnt trying to come back years ago...Bless you Lauryn. Think about her and keep her close to your hart keep interested in her now. She may be in real danger
Yeah it doesn’t make her a bad person
The mind can be so deep trying to understand is trying to find a ant in a pool water
So beautiful!!
Put your head up lauryn hill your bautiful and the most soulful singer and best rapper alive and who has ever lived. You are truly great.but still s I humble. Hotep.
i feel so bad for lauryn. she looks so unhappy and isnt even looking at the woman that's interviewing her, God bless you lauryn
?? she looked at here at least 10 times just in the first few minutes so i do not get what your saying ...
But her soul still shines through it all
man lauryn said ALL that deep stuff and then the interviewer was like "cool... soooo... about that album though" and lauryn couldn't do anything but laugh smh.
@MultiOdom the word rappers in that sentence should be in quotation marks....i dont even consider nicki rap...it's like overly-gimmicked garbage
BTW she was to play Oprah's daughter in Beloved. Yes she indeed resemble Oprah
I don't think she is going to make a come back and I think that is a smart decision, i think she recognizes that music is and has become a tool of the devil and she doesn't want part of it, she clearly is saying that she has seen the evil that the industry brings out in ppl and I really don't think she's intrested anymore, and i have to say good for her!!!!!
@PleazurAble2ME You replied to the wrong person. I didn't leave any comments about being Christian or Muslim. I only mentioned the name of the interviewer.
SHE is the best femal rapper of all time
Lil kim is nothing Nicki minaj is garbage(musically,nothing personal) and all these little 'hip hop' artists dont know what HIP HOP is
I will forever stay independent. Major labels eff u up mentally, physically, and emotionally. I pray Lauryn Hill got her freedom back
she looks like Oprah
lol indeed she does
Yeah i thought or sure the title was wrong. What's sad is, she can barely look anyone in the eyes anymore. If you look at her earlier interviews she is very present with the interviewer, but durin this period in er life she has her head down and away a lot. I don't like rumors but I assume abuse.
Anon Ymous this period of her life . . . people grow . . its the journey
lol that's what I said waiting for her to scream "Harpooo!!"
Dont insult the women, Oprah sold her sold to the devil.
THEY TOLD HER TO ACT CRAZY! HEY IT KEPT HER ALIVE THIS FAR!
Lauryn Hill is organic in her emotions, poised in her speech, and innovative in how she approaches creating music. I don't know why we as a society are fearful of what we don't understand. We hurl insults to hide our own insecurities. To think, people actually think she suffers mentally. Ok, uh, right.

She's so beautiful!!
lauryn is a gem! nobody touches her to me. we need she badly now

What people don't understand they tend to fear, and in a society like this where people are so spiritually blinded I'm not surprised that they think she is crazy, despite all of that, thank God she is strong enough to not the controlled by this evil and corrupt industry, good for Lauryn coz all I see on my tv screen is sex sex sex and more sex corrupting children and young peoples minds . I hope she does another album like her MTV unplugged, food for the spirit, soul and mind.
@MultiOdom Lauren can't take out nicki. nicki is fast and raunchy. L's style is different. Glad to see she is not crazy anymore.
Such a natural beauty without all that makeup-showbusiness is tough on pure sensitive artits like her.
i love this interview lauren hill is not crazy shes just real and hat she said about music being the vioce of the cooperate today is so true and the perfect example is Miss.Nikki Minaj but i respect her lauren needs another album to show them ............... i just cant wait till she drops a album its finna go triple platinum...........
lauryn hill is the truth. i respect her staying true to herself and only doing music if it has a purpose. people cannot handle someone who is aware of the evil involoved in the industry and someone who chooses to turn away from that and walk their own path

Lauryn is the greatest of all time. She is brilliant & so inspiring! She is all about music with a PURPOSE. it's a travesty that nicki is compared to her. As Lauryn puts it- hip hop is becoming EXPLOITED!
@ntaylor253 She is a singer. Her name is Leki. Her sister Ya Kid K was in the group Technotronic.
Reminds me of Lynn Whitefield playing Josephine Baker golden years
@chanecanjai left eye is is actually tupacs counterpart there is a video on it. They also dated eachother
I love how deep she is! She is so soulful, truthful, articulate, beautiful, and talented. She's a wonderful soul. I love her music and I wish she can come back and make more wonderful music.
love the interview she kinda looks like Oprah in this video wow almost made me stand back.. Ms Hill you are just awesome.
This doesn't seem like her, and the interview seems to be asking question on the surface. I can tell her hearts not in it.
I Love Lauryn she is so intelligent and God inspired. I'm glad she got out to save her soul. Peace and Good Love Lauryn and Ahayah Bless.
She looks like Oprah on this video!! Like if you agree
@adnoun1 She was imitating the sound of a train. Chugga, chugga, chugga...get it?

LAURYN PLEEEEASE RETURN. We need you to school Nicki Menaj.
she looks like she can be Oprah Winfrey's daughter.
The rage, years of not getting what she wants, 17 kids, have really taken their toll on Lauryn. She reacted to money, fame and power really badly and couldn't handle it. Also her mindset is one now of thinking herself as a messiah, so no more covers like 'killin me softly'...
PurpleFlame3 17 kids??? she only got 6
