: MediaTakeOut.com has learned that Lauryn Hill is on the verge of becoming an unsigned artist. According to Columbia Records exec Kyambo 'hip Hop' Joshua, Lauryn is an “inactive artist” on the label.
Here are his exact words:
Her deal is borderline inactive, though I'm sure they want to do an album. But when you sign an act in another era, with a deal based on the act being a superstar, things can change.Translation – she’s ‘bout to be dropped. Who could imagine that she’d fall this far….These days, even if [she were to] do great numbers, they will likely not be Fugees numbers. So, I have to see what direction she and her people would like to take and what they'd like to do."
SHE STILL HAD A RECORD DEAL?
WELL WYCLEF WAS ON THE RADIO YESTERDAY AND THEY ASKED ABOUT LAUREN AND HE SAID SHE IS DEALING WITH SOME INNER DEMONS AND PART OF IT WAS THAT SHE WAS DEEPLY IN LOVE WITH HIM BUT SHE HAS SOME OTHER ISSUES..................IM TELLING YALL THEM MARLEY'S GAVE THAT GIRL A HIT OF SOME REAL WEED AND SHE AINT BEEN RIGHT SINCE LOL
What really happened to her? There must have been something major because wasn't Wyclef just saying she needed psycological help because she was suicidal? Lawd, ya'll know we need to pray for our girl Lauryn...She may be a hot *** mess now, but she was killing us softly, had us high on that fugeela, and got a couple of us sistas over breakups and helped others find themselves in her music...The girl was HOT! So all my prayers out to you and your situation sista..Give it to God, nothings to hard for him!
It's understandable that a woman or man can be in love with their significant other to the point where it will make them harm each other, or themselves, but there's one person who we can always count on no matter what the *** are. Whether we're innocent or guilty we can count on this one person. singers come and go, and some stick it out til the end. Lauryn is human just like all of us but just with a little more money. She's a female so that means she goes through the same monthly courses like I do. They say love make you do crazy things, and from the looks of it, she's not only gone crazy, but mad crazy. If I had experienced what she did with her man I think I would of really been hurt, but me being a singer I wouldn't of let that situation ruin my career. She's a wonderful singer and a good speaker... and a very bright girl. This weird look she has needs to stop because she's another Brittney Spears.... doing stuff for attention. You don't get nobody's attention doing sick stuff like dressing like lauryn, or cutting your own head bald like Brittney did. If they wanted some attention all they had to do is try to reach out to some of their people.... managers, couselors, lawyers. etc and admit for (one) that they have a problem and for (two)would they help them. We all know lauryn good when it comes to laying some lyrics down, right now we just have to pray for this girl because she needs some guideance in her life at this point... If we all feeling a certain way about her now, can you just imagine how her kids and mother is feeling.
None of you know her personally do you? So to call her psycho and refer to her as crazy doesn't make sense to me. Do you see the *** thats out on the radio now. Maybe she doesn't want to be a part of that. He MTV unplugged music was BEAUTIFUL but they will never play real music like that on the radio so maybe she decided to step away. Go to youtube and search "Lauryn Hill piece of mind" and shes NOT talking about a man in the song. Open up and listen.
She is going through some thangs. I hope she can get it together cuz she was too talented to be sitting at home worrying about Rohan. Now if it was Ky-Mani (lordy, lordy, lordy)...I'm back. I seriously hope she gets the help that she needs cuz it would be great to see her on the scene again. That makeup and those clothes should be burned with gasoline. She needs to start fresh.
@quelinda, I share the same sentiments. We are so quick to call someone crazy simply because there just misunderstood. Her so called erratic behavior during performances make her a "psycho", what artists don't have quirky rituals, diva attitudes, and strange demands. And it's actually sad that MTO is to small minded that they follow Perez Hilton campaign " Lets crown one of the most talanted black artists as crazy". And yes pras and Wyclef call her "crazy", too but there harsh comments are coming from hurt, frustration, and the fact that they a know a new Fugee project equals craaazy money. And to me a person who's not willing to sacrifice there artitic sound to please money hungry bandmates, a mafia music industry, and eagerly fans...is actually courageous and should be respected something these waterdown, disposable hip hop artists of today could never understand.
FIRST OF ALL, I'M GOING TO NEED HER TO TAKE OFF THAT BARNUM AND BAILEY FIT AND LOSE THE ROSY PINK BLUSH TOO. COME ON LAUREN, WE ALL GOT ISSUES, BUT WHAT'S REALLY GOING ON.
I'M HAVING A LAID BACK, HERB SESSION AT MY HOUSE ***, YOU CAN COME THROUGH AND TELL US ALL ABOUT IT. FREE YOUR MIND, AND THE REST WILL FOLLOW.
Yes Black daddy, actually I heard from many sources that Lauryn Hill has been wanting out of her contract with Columbia for years. And I guess Columbia just had it with her resisting attitude towards making/participating any upcoming new music projects. So, yes I actually think she's happy with the outcome.
Is it really a surprise? She need to get that chemical imbalance realigned because when you look in the mirror dressed like picture in the photo and think you look good? You need help beside the other stuff.
Oh well if you don't produce then no one can use you. This is after all a business first and everyone cannot wait 'til you get your act together.
The world goes on because for every L-Boogie that falls, a new one will rises. That is life.
what the hell is she wearing? she looks like a bag lady who got stuck in a 1980's time warp. there used to be a homeless dude in san francisco who you could tell the 1970's was really his era cuz homeboy still had big azz sideburns, a huge fro & wore a green polyester leisuire suit everyday. & thats whats she looks like, a homeless person who got caught in a time zone. man this is sad, who woulda ever thought this would happen to her?
We all have inner demons that we deal with daily. We handle them in different ways {drugs, crying, fighting, alcohol, ***, etc.}. Lauryn 'touched' some aspect of our lives 'cause if she didn't, we would be like Lauryn Who? God knows the record biz isn't all the glamour that you all see. Its filled with the worst/evil people so much that the Devil would say, "They some bad dudes up there". So Lauryn, stay away from this *** and get on with your life. Wyclef's just mad 'cause he can't make a major hit without you. We will be listing to your old music years from now and hopefully you will be here in good health and spirit, listening with us.

P.s @ HARDCORE YOU Said it perfectly" WE ALL HAVE INNER DEMONS that WE deal WITH DAILY".
PEople WHO ARe so quick to THroW stones, NEED to THrow BOOMERANGS.
She's heartbroken by the world. If she would go sit in the jungle somewhere or climb a mountain in alaska, i think that she will be able to climb out of the deep,shy hole weed can put you in. A meditation, mind clearing, detox, community service excursion is the only thing that can battle the negativities of fame
Yeah, she could be trying to get out of her contract. But, she did have an affair with Wyclef while he was married, and he's still married. Lauren's first child (Zion)is supposedly Wyclef's. His wife is Haitian just like him. So maybe she put the roots on Lauren for stealing her husband for a minute. But you have to believe that mess for it to work. Plus Lauren did marry into the Marley family where the men are famous for having many baby mama's. Maybe everything she's been through is just too overwhelming for her.
Give it all over to God, Lauren. NOTHING you are going through is impossible for Him.
See what dealing with the wrong type of man can do for you!
WHY BLACK MAN WHY DO YOU MAKE YOUR NUBIAN SISTERS CRY?
WHY BLACK MAN WHY DO YOU MAKE US LOSE OUR MINDS?
WHY BLACK MAN WHY DO YOU MAKE US ARGUE AND FIGHT WITH YOU IN THE HOOD?
WHY BLACK MAN WHY DO YOU LEAVE US FOR THAT WHITE WOMAN AND TREAT HER WITH THE LOVE AND RESPECT THAT A BLACK WOMAN IS DUE?
WHEN YOU WERE BROKE AND DIDN'T HAVE A DIME WE ARE THE ONES WHO WAS THERE TO HELP TAKE CARE OF YOUR SORRY BEHINDS
WHEN THE WORLD WAS BEATING YOUR SORRY A$$ DOWN IT WAS US WHO LIFTED YOU UP AND TOOK YOU TO HIGHER GROUNDS
WHEN YOU FELT AS THOUGH YOU WANTED A PUNCHING BAG SOME OF US DEALT WITH ALL OF...OH HOW SAD!
WE GAVE ALL WE HAD INSIDE OUR SOULS TO HELP YOU STAND STRONG
NOW LOOK AT MY GIRL LAURYN HILL SHE DONE LOST HER MAN AND HER MIND AND NOW SHE'S STANDING DARN NEAR ALONE.
BLACK MAN SERIOUSLY...TREAT THE GOOD SISTAS WITH THE RESPECT WE DESERVE AND YES IT'S STILL SOME OF US LEFT, WE'RE JUST HIDING OUT AND AWAY FROM THE GOOF *** THAT YALL DONE LEFT HERE FOR US!
Come on kenyatta27!! Taking up all that *** space. WTF?? Anyway, Lauren Hill's still got a deal? I thought they dropped her 3 years ago. She used to be the sh*t. F*cking with the wrong dude will do that to you. What's up with her, the Marley, and their kids anyway? She looks a *** mess! Jersey where you at?!
How can someone become mentally ill ***? That Marley boy must've driven her insane. She had 4 kids by him and I read where he's had kids with one of her relatives too. She comes from a great family, great school (honor student) and was on a Soap Opera when she was a teenager. She found success early. What happened? Someone needs to delve into that.
I felt forced to log into this one. Lauryn I HAD so much respect and adoration for you that I just can't believe it's come to this kind of shame. Someone please get my girl some needed attention, talking *** about her isn't going to work because she has NO clue what the h@ll we're saying! But we cannot see her fail in this way - Lauryn please come back to us - they're talking *** about cha gurl. Get hypnotised from this MAD-CLOWN disease.
LOL @ Mad Clown Disease!! ROFLMAO!!
She looks crazy, but still sounds amazing. I love L Boogi
Watched some of her concerts on Youtube. She still has it. She still has a lot of fans.
Miseducation left us hangin. We were all waiting for the next album to drop. Who cares what she looks like-her words are poetic and beautiful. She is the truth.
Lookin @ this in another way her shell doesn't matter. YOu see many beautiful people out there and their insides look like her pic. Just a str8 mess. She is a very beautiful person inside.
WHAT FOLKS FAIL TO REALIZE IS THAT WHAT LAURYN IS GOING THRU IS SPIRITUAL.OF COURSE,IF YOU DON'T HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD,YOU WOULD'NT KNOW THAT!LAURYN IS A TORN SPIRIT,THAT'S WHY THIS IS HAPPENING.SHE WANTS TO DO RIGHT BY GOD,BUT SHE'S TORN BETWEEN HIM AND THE WORLD.THE MARLEY BOY WAS APPARENTLY MARRIED ALREADY WHEN LAURYN STARTED DATING HIM,AND BECAUSE SHE KNOWS THAT DATING A MARRIED MAN IS WRONG,SHE'S STRUGGLING WITH THAT TOO.IT'S A LOT DEEPER THAN WHAT YALL THINK!SHE'S NOT CRAZY.....SHE'S SPRITUALLY TORN!PEOPLE ON HERE WHO KNOW GOD KNOW WHAT I'M SAYIN'!
This is just sad, sad, sad. Such a great talent gone to waste. With all these fluffy pop tarts out here making studio hits devoid of soul, we could really use another "education" lesson from Lauren Hill. It's apparent she's in a bad place right now. :(
And that Blacula comment ain't right. (True and funny as hell, but not right.)
I'm so sorry for Lauren...mental illness is not recognized in the Black community...sometimes we need some medicine to function...and ironically, the very ones who need medicine, don't want to acknowledge that they need some...getting a "reading" isn't gonna help Lauren...it'll just exacerbate her problem...opening her up to demonic influences...Deut. 18:10-12...Drugs will open you up to demonic influences too...her friends and relatives need to do an intervention and get her some help...just as someone mentioned...she's human just like us...she just has a little more money...and at the rate that she's going with no one helping her...she ain't gonna have more money in a minute...
Wow, wow, wow...I REALLY can't believe this has happened to tha Sista. I still try to sing along to "Killin Me Softly" with all the rolls she was doing! lol. Hope she gets it together & takes some of that makeup off. That's toooooooooo much & she should know it, for real!!!!!
