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......

Why she left the industry:

"There were a number of different reasons," she says. "But partly, the support system that I needed was not necessarily in place. There were things about myself, personal-growth things, that I had to go through in order to feel like it was worth it. In fact, as musicians and artists, it's important we have an environment — and I guess when I say environment, I really mean the [music] industry, that really nurtures these gifts. Oftentimes, the machine can overlook the need to take care of the people who produce the sounds that have a lot to do with the health and well-being of society, or at least some aspect of society. And 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."

Why she wanted to perform again:

“I don’t know if you know this, but I have five children. The youngest is 2 now, so she’s old enough that I can leave her for a period of time and know she’s going to be okay. That’s one reason. And I think it’s just time. I’m starting to get excited again. Believe it or not, I think what people are attracted to about me, if anything, is my passion. People got exposed to my passion through music and song first. I think people might realize, you know, ‘We love the way she sounds, we love the music, but I think we just love how fearless she is. How boundless she is, when it comes to what she wants to do.’ And I think that can be infectious.”

Her impact on other with her music:

"I think about it, and yet I don't think about it. I think if I was created with such power or an ability, then what's also been put in me is the blueprint for the responsibility part, as well. I have to take care of myself in order to take care of this gift, which has affected so many. I don't treat it lightly. It's important to me to be healthy and to be whole."

This goes without saying, but "the game" NEEDS this woman! SOOOO prolific, heartfelt, genuine and every other positive word you can call her! Her music transcends but not on a corny level. More so on a level that causes you to think, act and WANT to do better.

HEART HER!!!! Come back....
