Grammy award winning singer/rapper Lauryn Hill will have to serve three months in prison for failing to pay taxes on about $1 million in earnings. These taxes will come back to bite you, never fails.

During a forceful statement to the judge, Hill explained she had always meant to eventually pay the taxes but was unable to during a period of time when she dropped out of the music business.

Lauryn Hill is on a, “Life Is Good/Black Rage,” tour with Nas, which started last night. Check her performing, “Black Rage,” hopefully Ms. Hill is inspired to make a new album.

No disrespect to Nicki, but I need to clear up an inaccuracy. I was not scheduled to be a special guest on her set at Summer Jam, I was invited by Nas to perform with him. I don’t have details on exactly what transpired between the station and the artists, but I do support artists standing by their beliefs, and walking with integrity. We have to find a better way to commercially exploit music, while giving artists their proper respect. This cannot be done while taking their contributions for granted, or trying to control the scope of their growth and power through threats and fear tactics. We can do better than this, there is a better way, or else ‘we’ (the proverbial we) find ourselves in danger of being hypocrites!!!

Ms. Lauryn Hill
