Robert Glasper Goes IN On Lauryn Hill, Talks August Greene & More With TMHMS! 

Again this who are you to judge bullshit. Its critique Lauryn . right ? I say that Robert Glasper CAN critique and he has a right. why didnt she say anything about cutting a pay in half ?! whats up with that ?

She should have kept quiet... Everything he said about her was confirmed just by the way she responded. Arrogance. She didn't even give good excuse for being late or a good counter for any of his hot takes.

On her tardiness for shows: “Me being late to shows isn’t because I don’t respect my fans or their time, but the contrary, It can be argued that I care too much, and insist on things being right. I like to switch my show up regularly, change arrangements, add new songs, etc. This often leads to long sound checks, which leads to doors opening late, which leads to the show getting a late start. This element of perfectionism is about wanting the audience to experience the very best and most authentic musical experience they can from what I do.” Did she forget what it's like to be a fan? Would she have appreciated as a fan waiting over an hour for her favorite artist to take the stage, and then not even performing a whole set? Part of the fan experience is getting what they pay for which is a TIMELY concert, feeling like you've gotten your monies worth and the very best from the artist. Do she explain this process to the audience every time she's late for shows and tell them "I care so much about yall that I HAVE to be late!! My perfectionism demands it!" Girl BYE! That's the ultimate disrespect to your fans.

Why is everyone coming for Lauryn? You can take a look at her and tell something ain't right. She ain't been right since 1998. when she did that 2000 MTV special I was like Oh my Goodness look at her- "They" got to her. Instead of criticizing her we should be concerned before we have another Donny Hathaway situation. I feel sad for her current state. To me, it's like watching sickly looking Michael Jackson trying to dance with bleached skin or Whitney looking crack skinny missing notes or senile Quincy with loose lips going off on interviews. When our black legends turn to a horrible fate we should cover them. But no we - Black Folk like to gossip and pull them down further. White people still covering for Elvis and Frank Sinatra scandals and drugs and more. Go up in Graceland and say something against their King see what happens. But We like to put our legends on blast at first chance. Leave Lauryn Hill alone!! Why not go after Cardi B and Nikki Minaj and how they depict and represent black women and women of color. Lauryn is trying to come back from the sunken place #Facts

Yes its sad to watch talented people acting like they are unreachable and untouchable. And if we talk about color, she mostly worked with musicians of her color and had no respect for them. She must acknowledge that she is on the wrong path. If somebody doesnt speak up, she will think that its allright to treat people that way. Everybody will think that its allright to be an asshole, if you have a couple of good albums. This is why its important to speak up. Nobody can help her better than she can. Who doesn't have a manager and a record label ?

Cuoy Harmon thank you!!!

Yea, it is annoying when the clickbait title begins nearly a half hour in.

Thank you. Lol

Thank you!!! Shit

Appreciate it 😅

Riiiight , but for some odd reason, 10yrs later, we needed to hear about him eaten a pecan pattie while demanding Lauryn Hill "listen to his Demo" while he hollered "I'm Rick James Bitch"...got it!

Pooz Newz The reason isn’t odd at all. The question was asked and he answered truthfully. Simple.

Pooz Newz Also, it wasn’t a demo. He had the number 1 jazz album in the country at that time. Ain’t gotta audition when you have credentials.

Wow you as stiff as Glasper..."joking dude"! "Listen To My Demo" is a line from a EPMD hit...wordplay brotha...wordplay.

Pooz Newz my apologies. EPMD was before my time. Went completely over my head lol

She married Rohan Marley and thought she became Bob.

Wyclef said this too.

@@cptight88Exaclty! She’s a hotep

@@cptight88they never married .

They want their jobs. Dj's get fired for less.

@Cool Breeze also for the station's sake, e.g. being held liable in some way

I’m 4 years late, lol, but the producers were probably was in the DJs ear or throwing signals, or they were OK’ing the convo.

T. Thompson lmao. FORREAL!!

Alberta Douglas whew. Just whew!

#FACTS

Too much.......... he sounds bitter

@@mecca6941 nahh he doesn't accept people's bullshit. Especially someone who shows up late to her shows for the past 10 years

This artist is being completely HONEST, FUNNY, APPROACHABLE, and ENTERTAINING.. It’s THAT simple.

The APX he is dope i love his music 👏🏽✊🏽

He’s not being a diva just and Aries.

Glasper is refreshingly honest but also a amazingly talented musician to boot. People aren't always who they're perceived to be. C'est la vie.

I met him a few months ago, and he legit is down to earth. I did not feel like I was talking to a superstar. He was just chatting, Human to Human. What an authentic guy

dante dt when the TRUTH changes ...it becomes a LIE!!!

Boom

Yup, if your story switching up every time you tell it. Your a liar.

Those words are pure gold!

Right!!

That's because Stevie Wonder is down to earth.

@Sebastion Bergdorf yes, if there has ever been a man who has never spoke about black issues it's *checks notes* ... Stevie Wonder.

@Sebastion Bergdorf What does that have to do with showing up on time for concerts people have bought tickets for and giving them their money's worth? What about respecting her fan's time?

wow

People have got to stop dismissing people who expose Lauryn. She’s protected for reasons I don’t understand.

Ok, I'm i'm confused, but I'm not stupid. She just recently 2023 October. Did it the concert of what 35 years 25 years of miss education, the lawn Hill, and keep well all of these members on stage and thank them. So what is the problem? Maybe she was a b**** back then, but she recognized all of these musicians. Last month, October on the 25 year 30 year anniversary of miss education of Lauren Hill. She just thinks all love she had most of them are her stepstage thinking them11💯💯💯

Well she took producer credit…all the musicians said especially James poyser they came up with the melody’s of doo wop & other songs which inspired lyrics out of her in that sense they are entitled to producer credit…& that when it came to submit the album she changed her number on them 😮 I was shocked! It actually made me feel sad that she was so callous it taints her image in a way!

@@zgizellecozart9746 what's confusing? That a person who changes the set for an entire week every day, then skips last rehearsal and tells all the musicians their pay is getting cut in half isn't full of it?

And that's funny to y'all. She's a "Black Queen" so she gets away with being such an asshole of a person. Well I'm glad this Jazz musician has pride and respect for themselves.

🤣😂🤣😂

dude sleeps with D Nice...

​@@slickfirmament5934whooooooo????

“He made it easy for every man that night.” Ha!

kaylokickszit17 😆😆😆😆😂😂😂😂😂

LOL!!!!

David Blair yes, it's in this interview, when he's taking about her; it's the last 10-12 mins of the video.

34:02

Porter Billingsley exactly!!! That's not ego tripping; he's established! I feel him... like umm my award winning music IS my audition at this point. Now if was months, years, prior he would've reacted differently.

RIGHT & he knows his WORTH! That's why he told her basically to go fuck herself! Run me my bread or I'm out! #PRICELESS

Porter Billingsley facts

The audition is to test suitability for playing what she wants not what he whats. She is the artist/ Producer not him. She already knows he is "good" but can he manifest what she what to hear?

@@jspankin once you get to a certain level of musicianship, you can basically play whatever someone wants/needs

But why all of a sudden this man decides to throw this out there????

Tee Jack all of a sudden?!?! Dude asked him a question which Robert had no problem answering. Also, this isn't the first time this stuff has been said, maybe not to this depth or degree, but we've heard this before about her. It's like someone saying they didn't know not to waste money on a concert because she couldn't do original versions and is ALWAYS late!!! That's been fact for years years... decades.

Tee Jack Because he was asked a question.........

John Legend was a part of that band. He didn't get paid... at the time. He found his own come up tho.

yeah but they sued over production credits not writing credits! Shes owns the masters to that album

Ja'Maul Redmond damn, that's messed up!

The no show would have did it for me

She was 2:40 hours late for her 50min gig last night in Paris

Ja'Maul Redmond wow she's an ass

Was the 2022 gig at boomtown uk cause that's exactly how it went down though she's so much like this I wouldn't be surprised if it isn't the same gig

If he has worked with quincy jones, herbie hancock, and stevie wonder, and none of them had big egos, no way she should have been acting like that.

Kimberly M Thomas l

What has he done? I mean he's a great musician, and he makes good stuff, but...really, other than neo soul heads, and the jazzy soul underground types, who really knows him? Lauryn Hill can go anywhere in this world, and just speak on topics, and she's gonna draw thousands to listen to her, this dude talking to people in his own home town who don't even know who he is. Lauryn Hill's social and political messages in her music, transcended past the music, he just plays good notes, that's it. He has no impact on the African-American culture, he's definitely not an icon. So, not sure how u feel cause he played with some legends that vindicates him as somebody to call out her?.

This is a false narrative because both of them are great artists. Neither one of them should have to "audition" at this point. Why can't people just accept the she is talented, but she is buggin?

It seems you may not know a lot about Robert Glasper. Try Google and you may reconsider.

False pls go back an listen to the original. U should be slapped for disrespecting Sade like that

Whoa Whoa! Slow down. There's a reason there aren't a bunch of Sadé covers. Yo u don't touch Sade But the version he created? it is REALLY REALLY something! I love it more and more

Agreed!!!

Yes!!!

Uh... Sade is an artist where no cover will ever supercede the original. Sade is in a class of her own

What was it that they said was it she didn’t write the album… if so it takes away her legend status

Stantawn Kendrick man I love your playing!

Stantawn Kendrick I’ve heard similar stories too. I wish it weren’t true. 😏

@ 27:00 Robert breaks it all down with artist accountability & reputations. Great story. Truth serum.

KPerson 💯💯❤

😂😂😂😂

LOL

Well he has actual talent so he doesn't have to worry about his image as much. He's not selling a personality.

Consider all his beef is from 25 to 30 years ago.....he needs to drop it.

But the album they were touring just turned 20 and he says the story took place in 2005 so more like 13 years old.

@@karlmarx809facts

Kris Owens And his colab with with Kaytronda is the truth!!

Kris Owens facts

Say it againnnnnnn📢📣

Wouldnt go that far lol but it's a good version lol but not better than the original if that's what your saying lol

Tater Tot - I think so. The nirvana version does nothing for me. I prefer heart shaped box

Did he talk about Beyoncé

aries babie funniest part lol

When he was like, "I have Grammys and I travel around the world doing my music. I don't do auditions. If you wanna know what I sound like, peep my albums." 😂 😂

Vernon Jones Music right!! I don't blame him... unless she was trying to do some unconventional stuff from a different genre (....ummm like Nirvana, maybe). 😏😉 Otherwise, you've either heard his music and knows what he sounds like or know his name and can look up his music. Either way, he can say, without showing an ego, that he shouldn't/won't do auditions. He's graduated from that point. 🤷

Sean Bean true

Walt B Council yes, has worked with Erykah, Jill Scott, Layla Hathaway and many others. And he's not the first to talk about Ms. Hill's diva behavior. The people who collaborated with her on Miseducation (and had to sue her to get proper credit and financial compensation) refused to ever work with her again. Some say that's why she never came out with another release. More than likely true.

Lauryn is one of my favourite artists of all time but its no secret she's an aweful person and I think she has been for a very long time. I saw a clip here on youtube where they held a high school graduation ceremony for her and another one of the other cast members cause they had missed their graduations. Whoopy Goldberg played the role of the principal and when she called Lauryn to come fetch her "diploma" she referred to her as "our resident diva in training." lol

@@omphilemoerane2569has she done enough to warrant being called an artist? Lol

Definitely was because she wasnt sued over no damn writing credits it was from production credits

Blackboylost Warren she was look it up.

www.sfgate.com/entertainment/article/Lauryn-Hill-Sued-Over-Song-Credits-2971686.php

The lie is that she "stole" the music. The music was in fact made for her under her supervision using her life story. I'm sure new ark were part of the fugees and left the group. no, that was lauryn hill I'm sure new ark had a son named zion who the record company told her to abort. no wait that was lauryn hill. its her lyrics

Milan A Question..so WHY has she ONLY done ONE album and not done another album that's ANYWHERE NEAR close to the first album ??? PLEASE answer this !!!!!

They would rather you listen to Nikki and Cardi. She was giving a positive message to young girls. Anyone saying she doesn't have talent I challenge you to find 5 better female rappers

Lydia always looking at the bright side of things .

Nice comment and thoughts.

Sounds to me like she believes in her own hype.

P lol OP pop K p pop pl

only 45minutes late? u got lucky

Yeah I've only heard HORROR stories about her concerts. She should really try any make some new music and let the past go.

Marcus Schiebold Yo! This is the exact same experience I had at The New Orleans Jazzfest 2016....I was pissed because, I was so excited to see her. She completely ruined it for me!

I really ride for the artist & writer Lauryn, but the performer Lauryn is the one I can't stand for the same reason you said sir; she DISRESPECTS her band UNNECESSARILY simply because she's self-conscious about being on stage. I can't stand that part of her.

So what, who cares

The audacity of people in the comments trying to deflect off of what he said to revert it back to him being an insecure black male all because he's speaking on something he dealt from a first-hand view is downright blasphemous..smh. the brother doesn't come off insecure to me at all. in fact he doesn't even seem to have an ego for somebody so accomplished.. everything he said in this interview has been known and it's only news to those who don't do their research and that's coming from someone who holds Lauryn Hill in high regards.. he's not inaccurate about the album either or the musicians who contributed because it's well-documented..just because you are a great artist doesn't mean you're a great person and too many stories like this have surfaced for everybody to be lying.. I'm still a fan of her music either way but I'm not biased when it comes to people speaking their personal truths about things they've dealt with...

Phunky Phantom agreed. Their fear and discomfort is getting on my nerves.

Nerdbama Rich yeah and Glasper is a great dude. People gotta chill.

Chezza Outta Nowhere I totally agree with you!

It's only slander if it isn't true...
