It’s so great seeing her looking like she truly enjoys music still even though she’s been thru so much in this industry. & it’s crazy how this song still has meaning & statement in today’s world with our culture…. Love her.

I’M SORRY BUT MAYBE I NEED TO BE HIGH & DRUNK TO GET INTO HER SINGING ALL OF HER SONGS AT THAT SUPER FAST SPEED. ITS OBVIOUS THAT HER VOICE ISN’T THE SAME FROM EITHER DRUGS, ALL THOSE D*MN KIDS OR THAT SORRY MAN WORKING HER NERVES. ‘THE MISEDUCATION OF L.H’ STAYS IN MY CD PLAYER. TOTAL CLASSIC………..JENNY JONES!!!

She’ll go to jail. Her sentencing isnt till later on this year. You can sentence Wesley Snipes and send him to prison even after paying $3 mil back and not sentence Lauryn Hill who said plainly she was GUILTY to the judge for not filing 3 yrs. She might get half and half – half fine and half prison. Keep in mind it aint cell block D we’re talking about. It’s low level security, more like a country club. Think of it as a boring vacation sitting with old people all fucking day long.

Obviously you have no clue what jail is like. I don’t think any prison would be like a “country club” when you are taken away from your children and family and behind bars. I still do not understand why a lot of entertainers get stupid lawyers. There are ways around prison for tax evasion like getting duel citizenship early on or negotiating a good payment with the IRS before the problem gets out of hand. The IRS is greedy but they will work with you (ie payment plan) if you cannot pay your taxes when they are due.

If Lauryn Hill would have just listened to her fans and put new music and albums out, she wouldn’t be having these tax problems. No disrespect to Ms. Hill, i love her, but what’s the problem with putting new music out? I don’t understand.

She actually spoke about it being hard and the record company not allowing her to do music the way she wanted it. Around 2004-2005 she was trying to put something out..there are pics from the video shot and everything but it got blocked ultimately.

She’s the best. NOBODY more honest. NOBODY more willing put it on the line. NOBODY more humble. NOBODY more ready to fight for what they believe in. NOBODY more beautiful inside and out. NOBODY more off the chain. NOBODY still standing despite all the dumbass criticisms from the outside. People who don’t have an interest in greater things can’t tell the difference between her & the pop corn… but some of us can. You would think after all she’s endured, even from the commentary of joe blow and industry the same-that she would have quit or something, but that’s the difference between the chosen and the rest. Can’t NOBODY hang wit Lauryn. Never another true sound, talent, soul, and intellect like her. Many try to imitate, but there’s only 1 Lauryn!!!! #theygotsomuchthingstosay
