Robert Glasper On Lauryn Hill: "The One Thing You Did Great, You Didn't Do!" [EXCLUSIVE] 

Exactly, I know a musician who worked on Lauryn 1st solo album and he been said it took a minute for them to get paid, let alone get credit for writing on the album. Lauryn Hill is very gifted and talented but she did not do that whole album by herself.

Yup exact opposite. His honesty pushed him into a higher level of visiblity and respect. He committed career meg-expansion.

Him and Terrace martin together is hilarious as hell!!!!!

His story has been proven constantly!! Research for yourself!

New-Ark, Che & James Poyser did in formal lawsuits. Most were settled out of court.

Because she stole from him . He has every right to talk about her

Why do powerful greats feel they can exploit and disrespect working artists and fans?

Sheeeeeeeiiiiiit. L ain't dead. She should speak up about why she didn't credit the people who created her sound.

Leonard Jackson yeah but in all fairness none of us had to deal with the level of fame that Lauryn Hill had to deal with, and how it shapes your personality in strange ways.

Yeah. But fame has a tendency to magnify who you are to the people that know you behind the scenes. If you’re treating people behind the scenes like crap then that is typically a true representation of who you are.

jevin june True indeed.

millionsinlife maybe, I won’t say that’s the case in all instances though.

Leonard Jackson l

And Lauryn still in the house lol

@Anne Day hahahaha

@@WenNRome lol definitely stand corrected hahaha Or should i say sit

@@dalonbranch8270 lmao what you think Ms. Lauryn doing?? Cooking up some mean grits

Still she got sued and had to settle out of court, sooo

WhenYouWishUponaStar It was somewhat distasteful. I think the host shouldn’t have brought up the topic. He lowkey knew already about robert’s business with Lauryn. Granted I’m sure he didn’t know Rob was going all in. Also there have been rumors of these things happening. I dunno what goes on in her personal life but she’s being anything but classy. She needs to treat people better or face the consequences. She kind of had it coming even if I’m not completely on board with Rob going in on her that hard. My man was savage AF tho. 😂

Why should you not be able to talk about things that happens to you and your friends? She fucked a lot of people, a lot of people are going to talk about it. That's how it works... And should work.

Glasper spoke on his personal run-ins with Lauryn Hill in business and alluded to her thievery of credit from others without saying names. All truth and respectful, what's your beef with it?

Robert Glasper can't speak on his own personal experience? Also, "we kind of new" means you don't know shit 😂😂😂

Q B THANK YOU!!

We're not the only ones but I understand what your saying

I like his music but he's just as egotistical as the Lauryn Hill he described, this is my 1st time seeing him in an interview not impressed.

What are you talking about?

Exactly

jajack71 bullshit... You're an idiot

Name one case. We'll wait...

He’s already established in his genre ….think your misinterpreting it …he’s not a up and coming artist.

25th Magic 25th Magic what??? MLH cuts their pay in half. She fires her band out of the blue. She's late to EVERY SHOW... Who's being unfair to whom???

Hill has reputation on records of completely unfair to collaborators, producers, bands and fans. Hill deserves the karma.

If you do not know about Jazz music and great musicians in general, probably not but if you are into it, he is one of the greats!

Charts? Stop fronting.

I looked her up. I haven’t seen a chart-topping single from her in the last 2 decades. Just stop.

Tanka TV how do you figure that?

Tanka TV how do you figure that?

How so? For telling the truth?

Too good at what he do, he'll be the one to decide when his career is over. As of right now, it's far from over.

This is public knowledge. Lauryn Hill is OVERRATED and an absolute fraud

Julius Jackson umm... Where's her stuff now??

@Anne Day Have you listened to Unplugged by Lauryn Hill yet? She very clearly states that the songs are the way they are suppose to be. They, meaning producers, record label execs and so forth, told her she could not do an album without musicians and she did. Lauryn does not do music just for sales or to remain relevant. The songs on Unplugged weren't as large because she calls out the system that we live in. As for the lawsuit, she choose to settle out of court to have peace of mind. Her record company(Columbia) did not want her to because they knew she was right and would win the case. However, most times it's cheaper to settle out of court than to prove your innocence. Just because you settle out of court does not mean you are guilty. The legal process can be a long drawn out course. Now, if those musicians you referred to as brothers were so talented and they worked on what my opinion is the best album in the past 30 years, why did they not produce other hit records for other artists? Singers and record labels would have been recruiting them so they could come out with other hits. The problem with Lauryn is that the industry has continuously tried to stop her because she refuses to play by their rules. You know she declined a role in Charlie's Angels because she was not going to dress in no skimpy outfit for no one.

@Anne Day The songs weren't big because they did not get air play. Lauryn wanted a different sound. If you've heard the album in its entirety, then you know Lauryn addressed this. I am the last person to victimize anyone, but Lauryn is a victim of the music industry. You can also listen to Neurotic Society and Consumerism which are heavily produced. They've been trying to discredit her but Lauryn is still good as ever. If you want your points to remain, then please answer where the other hit records that those who wanted credit for Miseducation production are?Lauryn produced The Score along with Wycleff and Pratz, and she wrote all her lyrics there too. But you know what, its perfectly fine for your to believe whatever you want and me to believe whatever I want. at the end of the day neither you nor I were at Tuffgang Studio to see how the album came along.

@Anne Day you can’t compare production when it’s just a live recording with her singing and playing her guitar

@Anne Day For a lot of people what you're saying sounds like you are telling them Santa isn't real. The facts mean little where belief is concerned. They are believers so they wouldn't admit the truth even if they took the time to verify it. I'm guessing that a lot of folk have also vicariously attached themselves to the myth of Lauryn Hill and to depedestalize her would also mean invalidating whatever personal thing they were going through that made them connect with the work. The best you could do is shut them up with consistent facts but all they'll do is get louder or quiet but they'll still insist that they're right. Personally I'm not as deeply steeped in this as you seem to be but layman that I am I can piece together the information given enough to realize that Glasper is being more genuine than Hill defenders would like to admit. But that's not too hard for me to conceive because for as much as I appreciate her art I never put her into some deified position.

​@@nicolletelangdon2694 wow. If you sign a record contract, you are making music with barcodes to sell. Stop fronting. An "album" is a community effort, just as The Fugees first album was. There were other producers and musicians who played on those albums. It is very clear you are ignorant towards the recording process--- you don't create albums all by yourself. New Arc deserved credit-- she didn't credit them, she never spoke of them. That's straight up stealing others works. You are wilding 😂😂😂

Ever heard of full stops?

Or, maybe "Mrs Hill" just isn't the person you thought she was. Watching Sister Act 2 too many times maybe.

Learn to write and stop reading into your phone. Then try to defend Hill for those abbreviated versions. That has nothing to do with "jazz", think of something else...

well he said her nutrition was GMO. inauthentic

Get out of your feelings. Robert has served the world over 5+ solo albums in 10 years. Hill has one one & one live. If she's so great, where are her follow-ups?

Not the good works?! He is one of the few great jazz musicians. you clearly don't know about his work 😂
