Loved and loathed, the legendary Lauryn Hill endured much of the scrutiny the late Whitney Houston did during her storied career.
As such, it’s only natural that Houston’s recent passing resonated with the former Fugees singer.
During a recent Valentines concert in Hollywood, Hill reflected on the tragedy, offering sound words to music lovers and media the world over.
Find out what she had to say after the jump…
Via BET:
“Aren’t you tired of losing our people? I am. Love your artists. When they falter, hold them accountable. But love them. People are now showing Whitney Houston the love and respect she should have received throughout her career — through all of it.”
Adding later, in reference to herself:
“I’m in transition still. Be patient with me. New is coming.”

Potent words from one of music’s most poignant talents.
It’s wholly unfortunate that so many a willing to ridicule greatness while it’s here, only to make it rain crocodile tears when they’re gone. Sad.
