Despite being in the middle of a truly testing time, Lauryn Hill surprised fans at The Roots’ 4th of July Jam in Philadelphia last night.
Ever the legend, Hill performed a selection of her hits including ‘Doo-Wop’ and the ballad ‘Ex- Factor‘, well received by her the band’s audience.
Watch her in action below…
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!!!
No shade but isn’t she in jail, what is the status on that?
I see you’re having a blonde moment…..GET IN DARLING!
She’s not going to jail, America is not that stupid, they are only scaring.
i love lauryn, shes my fave female MC. but she is going to jail in november.
I bet she was right on time for this one.
Lauryn you better sing like your freedom depended on it!…literally!
She better sing like her freedom depended on it!
If I was there I would have lost my mind. I love LBoogie so much, she is a rare talent. I hope she doesn’t have to go to jail.
girls u better watch out???? Lauryn u should practice wut u preach, ur babies daddy just wanted that thing too
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 f****** 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.
HEY NAVY!!! ANOTHER REASON WHY RIHANNA WILL NEVER LOOSE….http://www.vogue.it/en/people-are-talking-about/obsession-of-the-day/2011/07/rihanna-woman-of-the-year
Why are you talking about Rihanna?
Anyway, Lauryn looked and sounded good.
Beautiful, talented, inspiring and lil’ cray cray. But I love her anyway.
Sounding and looking good.
amazing talent!!
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.
I love her, and I am glad she hired a stylist. Last time I saw her perform she had on some Amistad looking get up.
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
Make those coins Lauryn!! I can’t see my baby in jail i just can’t!!
Yes…..Lauren….you’re giving me Diana Ross in “The Wiz” with that short hair & dress! LMAO! ***COME ON NOW EASE ON DOWN, EASE ON DOWN THE ROOOOOOAD***
pretty cool. hopefully she can stay out of jail!
