See how fast New York gets back to business, even after a blizzard? Lauryn took center stage at Brooklyn’s Music Hall of Williamsburg, and went through a medley of her past hits. Props to RapUp, who also has a comprehensive take on the event as well as some more footage.
lauryn>>>
Yup, Lauryn isn’t just the best female, she’s the best.
Why didn’t she do this at rock the bells? oh man, this performance is 3 times better than her performance at rock the bells where she was just doing remixes instead of the actual songs.
She has talent, but she’ll never make it in the game. It’s too saturated right now. Plus Nicki’s holding it down for females right now. Jean Grae’s got a better chancing of blowing than this chick.
Ummmm @ Rezo Lauryn will never make it in the game, Ummm that is because Lauryn has already made it in the game. Lets keep in mind that The Miseducation OF Lauryn Hill is everyone’s blueprint (for the most part). She is already where Nicki and Jean want to be at. I wish more heads would have more respect for the legends instead of bashing them like they can’t reclaim history.
@ Rezo
How about you just never comment again. Are you not aware that she’s been in the game and made a name for herself already? Are you stupid or just mentally retarded… From now on, NO one take rezo’s comments into consideration because he obviously doesn’t know anything about hip-hop or music in general.
hahahahahahahahahahahahah lauryn hill will never make it because of nicki minaj??????? this dude lost one fasho. also glad these other guys noticed that one before me… theres still some sense in the world
For those of you like Rezo who make comments before you think. I have been checkin you cats for a couple months now. I got tired of using my own words so now im gonna let the artists who is being disrespected talk for themselves. These are the kind of bars that make legends. example- FINAL HOUR by Lauryn Hill. Its the real…
[Lauryn Rapping Verse One]
I treat this like my thesis
Well written topic broken down into pieces
I introduce then produce
Words so profuse it’s abuse how I juice up this beat
Like I’m deuce two people both equal
Like I’m Gemini rather Simeon
If I Jimmy on this lock I could pop it
You can’t stop it drop it
Your whole crew’s microscopic
Like particles while I make international articles
And on the cover
Don’t discuss the baby mother business
I been in this third LP you can’t tell me, I witness
First handed I’m candid
You can’t stand it, respect demanded
And get flown around the planet
Rock Hard like granite or steel
People feel Lauryn Hill from New-Ark to Israel
And this is real, so I keep makin’ the street’s ballads
While you lookin’ for dressin’ to go with your tossed salad
[Chorus - 2x]
[Verse Two]
I’m about to change the focus from the richest to the brokest
I wrote this opus, to reverse the hypnosis
Whoever’s closest to the line’s gonna win it
You gonna fall trying to ball
While my team win the pennant
I’m about to begin it
For a minute, then run for senate
Make a slum lord be the tenant give his money to kids to spend it
And then amend it, every law that ever prevented
Our survival since our arrival
Documented in The Bible, like Moses and Aaron
Things gon’ change, it’s apparent
And all the transparent gonna
Be seen through, let God redeem you
Keep your deen true
You can get the green too
Watch out what you cling to
Observe how a queen do
And I remain calm reading the 73 Psalm
‘Cause with all this going on I got the world in my palm
[Verse Three]
Now I be breaking bread sipping
Manichevitz wine
Pay no mind party like it’s 1999
But when it comes down to ground beef like Palestine
Say your rhymes, let’s see if that get you out your bind
Now I’m a get the mozzarella like a Rockerfeller
Still be in the church of Lalibela, singing hymns a cappella
Whether posed in Maribella in Couture
Or collecting residuals from off The Score
I’m making sure I’m with the 144
I’ve been here before this ain’t a battle, this is war
Word to Boonie
I makes a lot like a Sunni
Get diplomatic immunity in every ghetto community
Had opportunity went from Hoodshock to Hood-chic
But it ain’t what you cop, it’s about what you keep
And even if there are leaks, you can’t capsize this ship
Cause I baptize my lips every time I take a sip (Every time i take
sips!)
@Rezo Has to be joking. Clearly he was being sarcastic.

Rezo, you’s a dumb nigga. lol
miseducation is one of my “if you were trapped on an island and could only listen to five cds for the rest of your life” – it would be one of my five
Miseducation was over 13 years ago and she was in a different mind set. She is a woman with a different agenda now. Also, music has changed a lot. She helped change it. She will forever be a staple, but she has been so random the last 10 years, you don’t know what her focus is or where she wants to go with her music.
