Where is lauryn hill 2018




















Sister Act II is a movie. Rita Watson is a character I played…in a movie, for those confusing that with real life.

Hill was absolutely a requirement. I was young, Black and female. Not everyone can work for and give the appropriate respect to a person in that package and in charge.

It was important, especially then, for that to be revealed early. When this happens you replace that player with someone who respects you and the office you hold.

Not much different than the genre of hip-hop itself. I play in an unorthodox manner and use it as a writing tool. That sounds like an assumption. My particular preparation process suits me. To each his or her own. My goal is to feel confident and free on stage. An audition or meeting could be about whether we vibe well, whether they understood my particular musical vernacular or direction at the time.

Someone could be a great player, but lack the ability to capture the feel or groove of a particular style. Ignorant patriarchy is a b tch though, I could speak volumes….

It's the latest in a series of issues that have marred Hill's once eagerly anticipated tour. A number of dates were cancelled back in July. Last month, Hill responded to critics with a lengthy essay addressing her professionalism and Robert Glasper's claims that she didn't credit songwriters on Miseducation. That really bums me out. The answer Woodson proposed was to look beyond the classroom, to self-education.

Anyone here tonight must, therefore, be up for The Reinterpretation by Lauryn Hill. Her latest reworkings pair the blare and stab of a soul revue with a kind of jazzy freedom. Artists can re-edit their work fruitfully. There is little tonight, however, that justifies mucking about with one of the greatest albums in living memory. The cognitive dissonance kicks off with Lost Ones, the swaggering album opener, where Hill proves from the off that she can still rap righteously.

A year later, she played a string of shows, with the first night marred by sound issues and lateness. The setlist may be an admission of defeat as far as new material is concerned, but Miseducation remains a classic: only last month NPR ranked it No 3 in its Greatest Albums Made By Women list.

It could all be so simple … why did Lauryn Hill disappear? Doo what? Cardi B, Lauryn Hill.
