“Try if you must but you can’t have my soul”.
Lauryn Hill delivers a powerful message in her new number ‘Black Rage‘, shared with fans on the Dallas leg of her ‘Life Is Good / Black Rage’ tour, alongside Nas.
Addressing many a hard hitting racial issues, her lyrics- though subtle- are sure to strike many a chord in anyone who listens close enough.
Watch her light up the stage below…
*Flat-line* Lauryn is such a genius poet!
Isn’t she supposed to be in jail?
F*** you! lol This is all you gathered from her poem. It game me life tbh.
Just listened to it RN and it was amazing, but since she is going to jail she should have Rihanna record it for unapologetic. She could sing it over this leftover beat:

Sir……..please stop. Hurricane Sandy should have waited until November 3rd to come so she could have wiped your ass out of the world on your B’day. 😛
Don’t be mad cuz I was chilling in boston listen to the calm soothing wind while you almost drowned, don’t hate cuz Thta is a hot ass beat.
Oh and Rihanna will be performing on SNL in the comng weeks.
Well wasn’t the storm worse in NY, Massachusetts, NJ area than it was in VA (my area)? Sandy still should have waited to take your ass. Good news Rihanna is promoting, maybe then she’ll pull TTT numbers.
It wasn’t as bad where I am (in Ma), and even if she pull TTT numbers she will still get a whole bunch of hits and out rank MerryChristmas Carey in a couple years.
Boiiiiiiii, how ’bout you pay respects. I’ll believe it when she sees 7 more #1 singles to tie Mimi.
_________
“MerryChristmas Carey” sold 15 million copies of that Christmas album (5 mil in the U.S. alone) and “All I want for Christmas” gets played + covered by artists every year so suck it! Best selling Christmas album of all time and one of the best selling singles of all time.

18 #1s in the 18 years of career (1990 – 2008)

Soon to say something like
19 #1’s 11 years- RIHANNA!
Gurl, bye! Do you really think she’ll be getting a #1 ever era. Even Mariah (Queen of Billboards) couldn’t do that (see: Charmbracelet and MOIA eras). Come on now. Regardless of it all, Mariah’s #1s >>>>>>>>>>>>> Rihanna’s catalog in all honesty.
She has always gotten one every era, except her first and thats cuz MARIAH HERSELF (with “We belong together”) dare block PON DE JESUS from going number one so it was stuck at two. But mark my words…..
LOL just kidding btu I wouldn’t be surprised, she is about to pass Whitney, about to pass Mandonna and micheal Mariah better hide, or hope “a hero comes along”
Lol Look what I just watched,
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6E9ZwD0r_64&feature=related
What I am saying is that no one stays on top forever and no one gets hits all the time.
Mariah’s patter:
Mariah Carey album: 4 #1s (Vision of love, Love takes time, Someday, and I don’t wanna cry)
Emotions: 1 #1 (Emotions)
Mariah Carey Live Unplugged album: 1 #1 (a cover song from Jackson 5 — I’ll be there)
Music Box: 2 #1s (Dreamlover and Hero)
Daydream: 3 #1s (Fantasy, One sweet day, and Always be my baby)
Butterfly: 2 #1s (Honey and My all)
Rainbow: 2 #1s (Heartbreaker and Thank God I Found You)
Charmbracelet: no #1s
The Emancipation of Mimi: 2 #1s (We belong together and Don’t forget about us)
E=MC^2: 1#1 single (Touch my body)
LOL! You can always tell when she is lip-syncing because she is not skilled at it. Lol at the moment when the whistle register note comes at 0:9 seconds and she misses it!!!! I can’t! *Dies*
I thought she was in prison to?, quick stay that was and still no new album…. Off with her head!
Im so confused lol?
Clown with a s****’s mind. Queen Lauryn, speak up on the black rage.
@MC I was watching video’s of her, look up “Mariah carey hits highest note ever, she is singing to a dog on MTV.”
I’ve seen that video; its pretty funny.
