“I couldn’t be apart of the popular fad, and the music industry likes to make caricatures of you,” she said of the industry, as she felt like she was pushed into a certain type of direction, and not being allowed to “be herself”.
“I felt them turning me into a comic, a caricature, almost crystallized.” “I can’t fit into a stereotypical identity that makes you comfortable”. “If an intelligent, spiritual woman threatens you, then maybe you need to let it go,” she said, confirming the reason for her separating herself from the business.
According to sources, Lauryn performed so badly that people were audibly demanding refunds while she went between her set, and dialogue to the crowd. Over 200 people were said to have walked out during her show, disgusted with the entire ordeal.
There is still no official release date for her upcoming album, untitled as of now.

welcome back Ms. Hill, that happens with a lot of artist that refuse to conform to mainstream commercialism.....i just hope she wasnt gone to long to still impact those who really dont know how ill she really was
Peace
key word WAS
^^^^ LMAO
if she wanted to take a break she can. people put too much heat on some of these artist. why she had to explain why she was out the music light? ................................my point
CAN'T KNOCK HER AT AT THE END OF THE DAY IT'S LIKE "FUCK THE MONEY AND FANS MY KIDS AIN'T GONNA SEE ME WIT MY ASS OUT ON TV JUST TO SELL RECORDS."(KIM,TRINA,REMY,JACKIE O)
the funny thing about that iz remy, trina, jackie o ain't sell shit, kim ain't sell shit since the 90s but alicia keys sold millions, corinne's been nominated for awards. when was tha last time the remy , trina or jackie sellin millions with just pure lyrical skill?
I MEAN U CANT DENY IT MS HILL WAS AND STILL IS DA SHIT
And for the lack of her appearance she will never be what she once was,Time is everything in this music business. Once you jump out of the view of the fans it will be very hard to try to get back in.8 years is to long to disappear,the fans you once had are no longer fans because music isn't going to be the same when you decide to make a come back.
Well,sorry 2 contradict u.but when she left the fugees it was a break of 2-3 yrs. then she dropped miseducation of laryn hill. she came back and had a different style. and she will do it again as well.8 is a long time, but it can b done. she will bring back another style that people will bite. she will get back on track tho!!!
Duke, I am an EXTREME L. Boogie fan and if and when she drops, I'll be copping 3 or 4 of her albums.... 8 years is NOT 2 long, as long as she drops that fire. It's not "hard" for her to get back in, because for TRUE fans, she never left. It's just y'all casual listeners that ain't gone cop her tape... so it ain't nothin.... Not to mention, it HAS been 8 years, so she'll have all her original, LOYAL followers, and some new ones too.
Lauryn'll be aiight. And for the record, it HASN'T been 8 years 'cause that MTV Unplugged was fire (LYRICALLY), TO BE HONEST.
Lauryn Hill needs to die in a grease fire. She disgusts me. Perhaps thats why over 200 people walked out of the show because the air was being polluted by her bullshit philosophies.
Why didn't she tell them the REAL reason she left music? Her rasta-wannabe husband fucking her stylist? "Caricature" my ass. That bitch left because she was a fraud. She WASN'T some kind of powerful black woman, she was just a dick hypnotized, weak minded hypocrite, that preached all kinds of black awareness and female self reliance, but as soon as it happened to her, she cracks like a goddamn peanut shell.
Fuck Lauryn Hill. *spits*

didn’t just disappear.” “I disappeared because I had to get myself together, and “clean up my house”, said Lauryn Hill at a concert last week in Oakland.

Nothing pisses me off more than a fake dread or some fake activist who is just profiting from their bullshit movement. Next time I ask a dread for some trees and they say they don't smoke I'm going to grab a handful of their 'LOX' and cut it off.
Lauren Hill killed her own career. Miseducation of Lauren Hill sold over 10 million records ...BUT that was almost 10 YEARS AGO! She already lost her sound, her voice, her edge on other female artists as well as that huge adiuence she once had. Sometimes artist wait too long instead of dropping another album while they still hot. She can blame her ex-husband all she wants but your career is always first and foremost
that doo wop joint was hot
