Wow what an article... you finish it just sad and confused and with no real certainty as to what's really happeining with our #1 homegirl in the music bidness....
For One I do agree taht Miss Hill is very lost... and I do think it started from the fugees... she was always ill at ease with her solo sucess because she had given WAY too much of herself to the fugees never fully being compensated but isn't that how some men are? That's why Lauryn's words cut so deep. She's been there and felt that pain.. and not only that she can write about it.. it takes a gifted mind to do that.. I think that's why she raps and sings and writes poetry.. that's her release and maybe the only way to make sense of the pain.. hey I can't say I haven't been there... maybe that's why I respect good lyricists and poets and I really am weary of writing anything of my own since it's so intensely personal...
Back to Lauryn though, she's a classic example of how not to handle success and hurt... sure she's had horrible men in her life.. and they've all tried their best to break her... it's not really about the album to me.. it's really about seeing her come out of it all like a rose through concrete. She gives with such audacity it's mind blowing to me... maybe she's just dumb... there are women like that that give till they die or get killed... that kind of giving is stupidty it leaves you in a constsnt state of incompletion... you never get a chance to fully heal and maybe give another day.. you give till there is no more, you give till there is no reaons necessary, till you think it's your only chance to escape this pain.. maybe if you just gave a little more? Look at Halle Berry... all that mess with Eric Benet..? Why are all these blessed women messing with unscrupulous men? Who said we're here to save these black men anyway? I can't say I would have thrown ROhan Marley or Eric Benet out on their ass but I sure do know it needs to have been done.. and a while ago.. For one I can't believ she really let him give her 4 babies... It's an attempt to trap her... being a mother has always been society's way of pigeon-holeing women in order to keep them busy and excuse the way their billiance is often ignored... now you can say "oh she's on maternity leave" maybe if she wasn't busy making all those babies she would have seen that thay relation ship was destructive to her LIFE? How dare you think you're in a position to raise pickney's when you aren't in full control of your own mind? How could you mold them and train them? Yet they had four.. tell me that's not a result of brainwashing?
Like I said, it'snot about the album to me.. I just want her to get better because I'd hate to see anyone hold yet another would be successful black woman down.. It really dsigusts me that we're willign to ruin ourlives over anyone that will take away loneliness... but it's really a state of mind..? How can u jump from one useless man to another and yet another? At what point do u stop and think? It's not the men.. it's the women... she should know these people see a woman who's not in control of her life and thus the pillage begins.. they're slowly take everything away... until people end up sayinf "she used to be so pretty, so happy so this so that..." it's downright annoying to me... I don't even knwo why. I wish she had real peopl around her... My prayer to her and her kids... I hope she finds a way through all this madness.. I really do!
