Lauryn Hill Continues Her Downward Spiral
Pictures & Story by Knut Erik of Norway
Lauryn Hill was In Arendal in Norway this weekend, she was performing at the canal street festival. She had some crazy demands. Everyone that was backstage had to say Miss Hill, the guards did not have permission to look at her, not even from behind the curtain. Nobody could walk pass her while she was backstage, and nobody could speak to her before she spoke to them first.
The craziest thing was that she demanded that all the security at canal street was to be black. I saw a security guard that forgot her demands and talked to her, she snapped and started yelling and throwing water bottles. The power went out in the first half of the concert, it was almost impossible to get her back on stage, so the peeps at canal street had to return the cash..I’ve heard

If you know all of what you posted in your article then you also know she did 5 encores, and she F*cking Rocks. You can keep trying to bring her down, but no one is doing what she does when it come to artistry and performing. Stop being lazy and take a look for your self. It kills me that you bloggers only want to report on her when you have something negative to support your position that she is crazy. No matter how blown out of proportion it is. How many concerts has she done. What about Israel and Copenhagen just days before this that had glowing reviews and beautiful pictures?Go to YOUTUBE people record everything these days. She is still BRILLIANT.
July 24th, 2007 at 5:24 am
sad, sad, sad… hope she can still bring it
July 24th, 2007 at 5:57 am
Damn, I hope she recovers from whatever got her under the weather. Such natural raw talent. Hopefully she snaps out of her depression/mad at the world phase. “Miseducation of Lauryn Hill” is the best R&B/soul LP of this generation, hands down.
July 24th, 2007 at 6:13 am
Lauren Hill is fried and crazy FUCK HER why we wasting time talkin about a wash up who does to much crack . Only people can talk to her first ? wtf is that wats wrong with people now a days she aint God i woulda spit in her face if i was a Norwegian muthafucker aint everyone white on Norway anyways I thot she was allergic to white skinned people
July 24th, 2007 at 6:26 am

July 24th, 2007 at 6:37 am
Heard she’s coming to Brooklyn in August. Wingate Feild to be exact. Show’s free if anyone’s interestd in going.
July 24th, 2007 at 7:43 am
“Miseducation of Lauryn Hill”; one of the greatest albums of our generation. I pray that Lauryn can right whatever is wrong and give us more great music.
July 24th, 2007 at 7:57 am
She still looks great, she’s sexy and I like her afro!!!
July 24th, 2007 at 7:57 am
#24 I agree that cd was in rotation for 2 years for me. I miss the old Lauryn. It’s sad. Hope she gets some professional help soon!
July 24th, 2007 at 8:17 am

The doesnt allow you to be you unless you take away you self from the things it has to offer and find urself and wat you want. Her demands are her’s if you cant tolerate it, be gone!

You know.. Anyone that loves Lauryn 4 real would feel grateful for the years of positive music (all hits) she and the Fugees have given us. I’m a real fan of hers, and I say that it was a sad day for hip hop when she basically retired/abandoned her fans.
As a woman I feel that the women of the world need her opinions and inspirations. Shes a true sista with a personal life, just like all of us.
Maybe the world put too much pressure on her to be this perfect righteous being… Its hard to always have to do better than your last, or to not disappoint millions of fans. Stop putting people in boxes. That traps them.
And you never know what life is really like for her. We think we “know” or own her because we buy her records or see her on tv…but knowing her for real or for fake gives us no right to judge her. If your family member stumbles or falls, do you turn your back on them and ridicule them, or do you extend your hand to help them?
I mean I see you people make fools of yourselves daily within these ignorant comments. But that gives no one the right to attack your character. Does it?
So she has “odd” request before she prepares for a show. Which celeb you “know” doesn’t? Some niggas only want green M&M’s with the logo scraped off… fu*k ‘em. Some suck up that works backstage is gonna do it. So what’s so hard to understand about L. Boogie not wanting anyone to wreck her zone?
I think fans can be so cruel to artist that we’ve once loved. That’s fake, and disgusting. Lauryn needs our support… not our hate. How do u expect her to want to preform for us if we’re always bashing her?
I can understand that you love and miss her voice/work… but turn your disappointment into respect for the fact that she’s only human like you and I.
Her style of dress was always “left field” like andre3000… don’t hate on her because she knows how to stay in her own lane.
I’ve also read comments about her thinking shes all that, or shes changed cause shes rich. Anyone that thinks that they won’t change after becoming rich, ain’t never had enough money. Realize its always a broke mofo talking bout so and so changed. Shut your broke ass up and read a book nucca. I love D’mite for that song! hehe.
Whether its you haters or the media (haters x2) bashing Lauryn, she can’t be denied the fact that she’s one of the greatest artist alive. Negative talk about her hurts her fans feelings; I can only imagine how she and her family must feel about it. I wouldn’t want to talk/sing/rap to my “fans” or media either if this is how I was to be treated.
Either way, If you love/hate her, just love/hate her… but respect her for who she is/was.
Anyway.. Miss Hill if you’re reading this… Big up to you and your family. I hope you are all well and comfortable. I miss your rap game mama, and I have mad respect for you as a person. If you ever need some extra hands for anything…anything…email me.

P.s- to those getting all ready to say something dumb to me….don’t bother cause I don’t intend to read or respond. Save it for somebody who has the time to sit up here and babble with you you idiots. Yes…I’m talkin to you, hater. LMAO! u dummy…go make some money. move out your mamas house…and…who cares…just don’t waste ur time responding, like u did reading my post.

It’s very telling that you “hip hop” people are trying to lynch one of your GREATEST TALENTS. Only hate monging African Americans do this well. You guys tear down your own. You dont see whites tearing down Sting or Paul Mc Cartney. You dont see white folks tearing down Madonna now that she’s fallen from her throne. Lauryn Hill is a living legend but HOW SOON DO YOU GUYS FORGET!
You guys call her crazy but let me ask you….
Who’s not crazy in this messed up world?
You guys come down on her for her style but Andre 3000 gets a pass.
Why?
Because he’s a man?
Double standard, mysogynist, woman hating activity going on here.
Stop the lynching of Lauryn HIll.
Stop celebrating the witch hunt.
Stop abusing your own reflections.
LAURYN I’m praying for you baby girl.
None of the hatred can stop you.
ONLY YOU CAN STOP YOU.
Cant wait to catch you live.
LAURYN HILL- THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER.
JERZY STAND UP AND STOP HATING!!!!
ALSO- you guys should be more careful about dissing her.
Lauryn is going through some hard times but she is favored by GOD. GOD dont like ugly, so leave his daughter alone.
Something might wind up happening to you.
it’s called Karma
Think about it;)
July 25th, 2007 at 5:47 pm
If you a true fan…you’ll stand by Lauryn NO MATTER WHAT. She was there when y’all broke asses was breaking up with people singing songs on Miseducation, now she broken and yall wanna talk shit. STOP PLAYIN!
July 28th, 2007 at 12:39 pm
#40 Although I agree that we should be as positive as possible and not buy into the hype, whites do tear down one another. Just read the TMZ comments when Madonna appears. The problem is that gossip isn’t designed to be uplifting; it tears down rather than builds up. Many bloggers are as pathetic as they claim Lauryn to be.

Well she doesn’t have to worry about people talking to her anyway because she is washed up. The only person that can talk to her is a physiatrist.
October 19th, 2008 at 3:52 am
She is a prime example of what can happen when you experience fame and money too early. We need to really pray for her because it’s horrible to see someone so beautiful look the way she does now. Too bad what a tragedie but with prayer things can change.
