She doesn't draw criticism for only producing one album, she draws it for not paying musicians who worked for her, for not showing up for gigs that people saved and went through trouble for, etc. I just hope that she heals from what she went through, future music or none. Preferably lots, but health is the most important and that seems a way away still. But no one is mad at her for only putting out one record, she's still lauded for it and rightly so, what a miracle. Classic among classics.

@rafaelaptroot438 Год назад

Lauryn Hill is one of my favorite artists of all time. However when I saw her live and she was around an hour late, performed a 25 minute set and was done. It made it even worse that this was at a festival and I’d had made the decision to see her over seeing other artists I liked. Doesn’t take away from what she accomplished in the studio but it’s sad she doesn’t seem to give the respect back.

@damienpolk7440 Год назад

When it comes to the stories similar to what you have shared, I tend to look at just what the video quoted Lauryn as saying about SABOTEURS. All of what she said started after the album is still going on times 💯 these days. Straight sabotage for whatever those reasons being.

@yetanotherrandomyoutubecha4382 Год назад

@@damienpolk7440 "I don't show up late to shows because I don't care. And I have nothing but Love and respect for my fans. The challenge is aligning my energy with the time, taking something that isn't easily classified or contained, and trying to make it available for others. I don't have an on/off switch. I am at my best when I am open, rested, sensitive and liberated to express myself as truthfully as possible." That's what she said herself about often being late. It has nothing to do with saboteurs, it's more about her difficulty with giving 100% if she doesn't feel like it

I think it is a good point to bring up how there probably was a great deal of pressure to recreate the success of her debut album. At the same time, one great piece of musical work is fine too. I just hope Lauryn Hill is happy.

@ttdanimations1231 Год назад

she still had multiple albums with the fugees that are great content

@PuffinPass Год назад

This album was a complete anomaly when you think about it. Back when CDs were still a thing I remember looking at friends collections and regardless if they listened to punk, metal, rap, hip hop, soul, RnB or whatever this album was almost universally in their collection somewhere. People always ask why she never made a second album and I always answer with, "Does she really need to?" Sure for selfish reasons it would be nice to have another album, but I feel all the external pressure would end up damaging the new work in some way, making it less authentic and pure to her vision.

@LooseAsADEUCE Год назад

Miseducation is a classic album, no question, but I think we give her too much leeway because of it. All the controversies and poor performance behavior can't be excused just because she had a fantastic album.

Stoked to see two videos in a row about my favourite genre. Some of my favourite women in hip-hop such as Dessa, Jean Grae, Little Simz, and Noname certainly took influence from Ms. Hill. On the other hand there are other great MCs who sound nothing alike. Yugen Blakrok from South Africa is exclusively a rapper and has a sci-fi heavy black empowerment-themed mythos throughout her work.

I don't see why artist should be pressured into making more than one album. I view albums (mostly) as autobiographies and the interesting/relatable stuff would have happened before the first album was made. Subsequent albums often tend to shift from the relatable life story to boasting about things in their current life. I personally do not want to hear about the issues folks face once they've made it rich as I likely won't ever experience that life

Lauryn’s legacy lives through many of these modern day artist. Another one being Amy Winehouse. A legend who’s crucial part of her childhood was listening to her music. Tracks like “F me Pumps” and “In my bed” could have easily been tracks that Lauryn herself could have written.

Lauryn is one of the greatest talents the world will ever see, if not theeee greatest. Some people in the comments are mentioning her controversies and while some of the criticism is fair (like her lateness) a lot of them aren’t. She doesn’t do interviews and isn’t in the public eye so when ppl hear things about her they are only getting one side, which is sad because I truly believe from doing research that some of these claims are just misogynistic or not believable. ironically, her silence has caused the public to be miseducated on Lauryn Hill. But I hope I documentary or her doing a sit down will allow people to see her side of things.

Interesting that many on black social media have labelled Hill a so-called "pick me" and fake Christian because of her messy love life. A lot of these young folks don't mess with Lauryn Hill at all. Personally, I don't know much about her love life and am weary of getting "tea" from places like Lipstick Alley. That said, her album has been praised for what some call feminism themes. If she (allegedly) sleeps with and has children with married men then yeah, I can see why many women want nothing to do with her.
