“We went in the studio and recorded a couple records that were incredible. But, to put it nicely, it’s dead,” Pras told Billboard.com earlier this month.
“Me and Clef, we on the same page, but Lauryn [Hill] is in her zone, and I’m fed up with that shit. Here she is, blessed with a gift, with the opportunity to rock and give and she’s running on some bullshit? I’m a fan of Lauryn’s but I can’t respect that.” He quipped.
According to Wyclef, Lauryn, who has been highly criticized for recent career choices, has been taking solo credit for the groups work.
“I’m officially Paul McCartney from the Beatles now. If the Fugees wanna come back, and Lauryn wanna come back…you can’t break the format.
Don’t come back and be like, “I wanna produce a beat.” That’s like me saying I wanna sing an R&B vocal. When we was working on the album, I was like, [to Lauryn], “You need to do this like this.” [And] she says, “How do you know what’s relevant? I haven’t heard anything from you in the past like three, four years?” The minute she said that I was like, I gotta go back to working.” He told Scratch Magazine.
We did a remix [with] Lauryn for John Legend, for the record “How High.” John Legend was saying our names. You know what she had [him] do? She was like, “Take off Wyclef and Jerry’s names.”
Because she wanted people to think that she was the one doing the beat…I’m a producer and I’m a beatmaker with my cousin Jerry Wonder, and I’m a writer. She’s a writer, a vocalist, [and] a great [vocal] composer. And she’s great at picking out samples—she got 20 billion samples but can’t chop ’em up to save her life. He Continued.
Lauryn is straight up the problem, bro. She wants to be a producer. Don’t come telling us how to chop up beats so you can get credit for it.”

They need to just respect that she does her thing and stop making something outta nothing, it's tha biz, get over it and make hot music is what I say...if you did it one you can do it again, it's that simple...
she says, “How do you know what’s relevant? I haven’t heard anything from you in the past like three, four years?” The minute she said that I was like, I gotta go back to working.”
is it me or was she talking about herself? anyways, thats some fucked up shit if she tryna take credit for work she aint do....
If lauryn dont know what she doin why would they let her make a beat herself or try to make one. The way he made it seem was like if they all worked on a beat lauryn wouldnt like that she would want to do it all by herself but in a group majority rule so if she did make some beats for their new album the two would just not get on it. And she act like she run things cuz she the vocalist and she cant take constructive criticism so who would wanna work with that
I would agree with you if she wasn't demanding that they get no credit for it. IF thats true, thats really fucked up. I think it probably is true because its now like he was trying to shit on her. He described what she was brilliant at and gave due credit. She should let them do what they do, and hopefully it'll come together well. If she wants to play producer, she should play producer on her solo.
u again-, she is on some dumb shit , how u not realize that its not "the biz" its that the bitch is crazy.Your girl had this to say to wyclef--> “How do you know what’s relevant? I haven’t heard anything from you in the past like three, four years?”. last time i checked u normally respect those u were in a group with and were so prominent/successful with. n wyclef of all people to say that to just cause she can't take "constructive criticism" dumb ass broad.
Well of course Lauryn's the problem. She's melted down more times then Britney spears. She needs to get focused and make music. Stop trying to be a politician/activist/producer/folk singer/nutjob and just MC. you're talented but you gotta know your place. This is like premo spittin on a record. cut that dumb shit out and make music.
i already knew this shit, shes done!...she aint gon have no more hits aktin like dis...thinkn she actually the shit!...id be pist to if a bitch tried takin kredit for my beats...fukk her!...

Lauryn is a crack head
They need to just respect that she does her thing and stop making something outta nothing--This exactly his point. Her thang is composing vocals, writing, not producing beats.

some1 needs 2 beat the shit out of here and get her 2 detox 4 a while.
Y'all put up this SAME article a couple weeks ago. First it was Pras that said it, now it's Wyclef... what's the next article gonna be? John Forte says Lauryn is HARD to work with... and then put the same article in the headlines again. Get off of Lauryn, let her live her life... People mad cause she won't give y'all another album... beat it.
she is stupid
she hasnt made an album for ten years how does she know whats relevant like clef said
then she is acting like she is a superstar and shit just because she had a hit album
well i say she made a one hit wonder cd
she should want to put music out with the fuggees a classic group
damn Lauren is fucked up suck tho cuz i was waitin for a fugees album

woah lauryn thats fucked up how you gon say some shit like that to ya boy wyclef?especially when he bin doin more shit then she did wow I really feel her but she be actin crazy these days.put sumthin out already man
BITCH
Wyclef is on everybodys shit just look at the credits on nigga cds,He's been putting in alot of work. Seems like somebody has been keeping their head stuck up their ass for to long. And how do you get a big head from just one album is what i would like to know...But really she is washed up,Even if she tried to come back by herself it wouldn't be good.
For real... He was never my favorite rapper, but he is a great producer. Shes really fucking up... because if her boy that loves her can't work with her, what producer will?
Lauryn Hill is a racist bitch
damn this is so sad cause L-Boogie was that deal, this sucks just as much as her not clearing that sample for Kanye's all falls down on the college drop out, the he had to get Syleena Johnson to bless the track
SHE SMOKES CRACK PEOPLE. EITHER THAT OR SHE FUCKS WITH HEROIN. END OF THE STORY. NO MORE POSTS. R.I.P. L.BOOGIE'S MUSIC CAREER
Pras need to keep his mouth shut cause he aint shit!!!
not one single trtack he was on lead to anything of his own. if it did it wasn't worth shit.wyclef might've made more records then lauryn but is he really relavent? never liked eigher of those two. l boog carried more of the weight than clef or pras, straight up! fuck u haters, L BOOGIE STILL RINGS BELLS, if she didn't no 1 would b talkin bout her.
