Laury Hill Reflects On "The Miseducation Of Lauryn Hill" (VIDEO)



There are very few people in my life that intimidate me, other than Oprah, I'm thinking Lauryn Hill makes the list. Ya know when you hear, see or are around a person and you think to yourself: DAMN! He/She is wise beyond their years. That's Lauryn Hill for me! And we're not going to go into how incredibly talented she is. That's a whole 'nother Post!

In the above footage, Singer/MC Lady Hill sat down for a rare (yall know she doesn't do too many of these) interview where she reflects on her classic album, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, that brought about many awards and accolades for her, and ultimately led to her brief break from the music industry.
“I acted as sort of a bridge between an older generation and younger generation and how to put those styles together. I think Miseducation was really what that was all about, being a bridge between generations that could very well have drifted off in separate directions. I made a piece of music from a sincere place. I think that sincerity has no choice but to resonate with people.”

Lauryn Hill Gives Birth To Her 6th Child!


WHEW! How does she do it all?
Lauryn Hill has added another member to her growing family. The former Fugee gave birth to a baby boy over the weekend. Hill, 36, welcomed a son with longtime boyfriend Rohan Marley on Saturday (July 23). The couple has five previous children together. According to Blackcelebkids.com, who first reported the news, the Grammy-winning singer “had a little scare because the baby came out the womb with the umbilical cord wrapped around his neck.” But mother and child are doing fine. “All is well now and everyone is happy,” adds the source. Hill first hinted at her pregnancy at one of her recent concerts. “I keep having these children. I don’t know if I’m the most fertile woman in America,” she joked during a Los Angeles gig. She wrote an open letter to her fans last month where she addressed her pregnancy and apologized for being late to her shows. She is scheduled to perform at the Rock the Bells Festival next month.
Oh, so NOW Rohan Marley is claiming the kid? SMH.

Lauryn Hill Speaks To Her Fans About Pregnancy + Rohan Marley Denies That This Baby Is His


Well that is special!

But what's ironic and odd about Lady Hill's pregnancy is the latest rumor that the baby is NOT with longtime partner (and father to her previous children) Rohan Marley.

He took to his Twitter page to clear his name in Daddy-gate. Peep his messages under the break....

....AGAIN! Whew...this makes her 6th child.

R&B/MC star Lauryn Hill is good at LOTS of things! But making hits and producing babies are at the top of that list.

She announced her pregnancy during a concert in Detroit, Michigan this past weekend. 
"She told the crowd, 'I'm going to be taking time off to give birth'," Ashley Trybula of Detroit's Hot 102.7 told RadarOnline.com.
BIG CONGRATS to Lauryn!

Lauryn Hill's 12-Year Old Daughter, Selah, Featured In "Teen VOGUE"

 

Awwwwww, so purrrdy!

Lauryn Hill's 12 year old daughter, Selah Marley, is featured in the April 2011 issue of Teen VOGUE magazine as a guest contributor.

Selah would like to follow in the foot steps of her famous mother and family (The Marley family) by pursuing her singing career.
If I had faith in any child star about succeeding in this industry, then it would be Selah (along with Willow and Jaden)! I'm sure Lauryn is fully involved.

Lauryn Hill Performs Live In Brooklyn (VIDEO)!


I honestly don't think it's fair that THE ANOINTED ONE Lauryn Hill ONLY performs in NYC (or at least it appears that way). What about us?????

WELP! Lauryn put on a stellar performance last night at Brooklyn’s Music Hall of Williamsburg where she seemed to have kept her fans waiting for more than a few hours! Reportedly she came on at 12am when the tickets showed an 8pm showtime. COT DAMN....
“Sorry if you had to wait a few minutes or a few hours, but I personally think I’m worth it.”
YES MA'AM!!! You certainly are.....

Mizz Hill (donning a 'fro with a moo-moo - and looked FLYYYY while doing so) performed her hits “Ex-Factor”, “Lost Ones”, “Fu-Gee-La” and many more! 
“I found you, Brooklyn, and you found me too”
Ummmmmmm, Lauryn Hill (with all due respect), you think you can "find" the Washington, DC Metropolitan area or at least send tickets? Thank, LOVE.

Enjoy videos of her performance under the break.....

Lauryn Hill Going On A Winter Tour!


Awesome!!!

Lauryn Hill has just announced that she will be hitting the road this winter for a small tour in North America. 

Via Billboard Magazine:
Kicking off at New York City's Highline Ballroom on Dec. 27 -- one of six local shows at multiple venues including legendary jazz club The Blue Note, where Hill will play for three nights, and Brooklyn's Music Hall of Williamsburg -- the trek will then take the reclusive R&B singer down the East Coast and to Canada. In a statement, Hill acknowledges that she "may never play venues of this size again," and promises a live band, big sound and a set list heavy on hits from her Grammy-winning, game-changing 1998 solo album, "The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill." Hill has spent much of the past few years playing a number of international festivals but making relatively few domestic stops. She's slowly come out of her shell more recently, however, giving an extensive interview to NPR over the summer in which she explained her eight-year absence. "Oftentimes, the machine can overlook the need to take care of the people who produce the sounds," she told reporter Zoe Chace. "It's important that people be given the time that they need to go through, to grow, so that the consciousness level of the general public is properly affected. Oftentimes, I think people are forced to make decisions prematurely. And then that sound radiates." Hill's new slate of shows, 17 announced so far, are expected to sell out swiftly.

Here are Lauryn Hill's tour dates:

Dec. 27: New York, N.Y. (Highline Ballroom)
Dec. 28: Brooklyn, N.Y. (Music Hall of Williamsburg)
Jan. 1: New York, N.Y. (Bowery Ballroom)
Jan. 3: New York, N.Y. (The Blue Note)
Jan. 4: New York, N.Y. (The Blue Note)
Jan. 5: New York, N.Y. (The Blue Note)
Jan. 8: Charlotte, N.C. (Amos' Southend)
Jan. 9: Asheville, N.C. (The Orange Peel)
Jan. 12: Charleston, S.C. (The Music Farm)
Jan. 14: Atlanta, Ga. (Centerstage)
Jan. 16: St. Lous, Mo. (The Pageant)
Jan. 18: Minneapolis, Minn. (First Avenue)
Jan. 20: Chicago, Ill. (House of Blues)
Jan. 22: Toronto, Ontario (Sound Academy)
Jan. 23: Montreal, Quebec (Metropolis)
Jan. 29: Atlantic City, N.J. (House of Blues)
Feb. 4: Montclair, N.J. (The Wellmont Theatre)
*please add a show in the DC area...fingers crossed*

Lauryn Hill Sits Down With "FUSE TV" (VIDEO)





The FABULOUS Lauryn Hill sat down with Toure for FUSE TV and opened up about why she "left us" and says she is ready once again to express herself.

YES MA'AM!

So, I guess this clears up all those "crazy" rumors! Homegirl appears super poised and stepped away from the business for her kids and sanity.....KUDOS to her!

Let's not rejoice too much, though. She does say that she isn't sure about a new album, but thinks she will have some new material coming out soon. 

We all can dream!

After the show, Mariah thanked her Brazilian fans on Twitter and said, “Thank you SO much 2 everybody in Brazil @ the show 2nite!

I think she's baaaaaack, Dancers!!!

The ULTRA talented Lauryn Hill performed AGAIN this Saturday to a crowd of more than 40,000 at the Festival Dos Oceanos 2010 in Lisbon, Portugal.

Mizz Hill performed her classics like “Ready or Not” and “Fu-Gee-La,” “Doo Wop (That Thing),” “Turn Your Lights Down Low,” and closed with “Killing Me Softly.”

I'm just happy that Lauryn will not only play at international venues, but will also bless us as she begins her stint on the Rock The Bells tour kicking off  in Los Angeles on August 21.

Lauryn Hill FINALLY Breaks Her Silence!


The GREAT ONE Lauryn Hill has granted her first interview in a VERY LONG while to NPR radio where she discusses her career, if she will ever sing/rap again and the never ending question: WHY SHE LEFT THE GAME?

"Reporter Zoe Chace was invited to ride in the former Fugees member’s car following her performance and soon found out that Ms. Hill, as she prefers to be called, is doing just fine despite the rumors."

Excerpts from the interview under the cut......

Seeing her makes me sooooo happy! Mainly because it reminds me of how COT DAMN talented (and how much the games needs her) and naturally beautiful she is!
