Lauryn Hill Is A Song Thief! And A Bitch!!!
Don't expect a Fugees reunion any time soon!
Wyclef is coming clean about his issues with Lauryn Hill, and it's not pretty.
The Miseducation songstress had been sued in the past (and lost) - for failing to give writing credit on her breakthrough solo album - and now her former bandmate is rubbing salt in her not fully healed wounds.
Wyclef was interviewed in the new issue of Scratch magazine.
This is what he had to say!
Scratch: What’s going on with the Fugees reunion, or lack there of?
WYCLEF: 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.
So what’s ultimately holding you guys back?
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.
What makes you think she would take the credit?
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.
So she hasn’t made any of the beats she got credit for?
It’s real simple—if you did the beats, where are the beats? Show us one beat that you did. If you bring ’Clef to the studio, put an MP, put an SP, put a bunch of stuff, bring a bunch of cameras [and] say, “Clef, do a beat in two minutes.” The beat’s done! Bring Lauryn Hill in the studio with the same camera, say we give you three hours. Matter fact, fuck it, we’ll give you a month—do a beat. She can’t put it together!

HAHA she looks like a screaming banshee.
SHE UGLY, AND MY NAME WAS LAURYN BE4 HER
you spelled 'insane' wrong.
all she needs to do is open her mouth and sing. she coulda been a contender.
why do you keep putting these ugly ass pix of L.H? I know that she took a better pix! She is tripping..out here in the streets! MANNNNNN I tell you about those Gemini's ! They are funny acting! Those bitches will come out a bag on your ASS! Obviously she has done just that! POOR girl, when the money start running low, and people get tired of hearing those 1998 songs…SHE WILL WAKE UP!
wow top 10…..!
what does 'isane' mean?
OOPS! YEAH INSANE WAS MIZSPEELED..
iNsane?!
yes
She looks like Ophrah on crack.
THE WHORE HAS LOST HER MIND!…AND HER SENSE OF FASHION!…U SUCK LAURYN!…but i still love your music…
HOT MESS……………………………………..
good! that is what that racest biatch gets. Just in case you don't know this about her years ago she was on the radio and said that she doesn't want the support from "white people" she doesn't like them and doesn't want them to buy her music!
Wyclef hasn't put anything good out in ages either. Whats the problem with her producing a song?! He's always been jealous of her. I she could come out with something as good as her debut it would be cool but, who really cares anymore.
She looks like BoZo on Crack!
Wyclef sure is brave taking that thing on! She looks like she might be small but would beat the hell out of someone…..stick and move W!
You forgot "overweight, racist has-been." What a waste of space.
Lauryn is an artist. The second you try to understand her that's the second you lose…
All i can say iz WOW "I used to love her" hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PEREZ, STOP LIFTING STORIES WORD FOR WORD FROM OTHER BLOG SITES.
I remem how horrible she did at that award show
ugh!
i'm pretty sure lauryn is the last genius female working in hip hop today. and i'm also pretty sure she wouldn't consider this or any other critique of her output relevant.
perez, you're gonna have egg on your face when her next album is a major critical success.
Wow, that photo is the worst! I'm so hoping she can get her stuff together and make a huge comeback. We miss the old Lauryn… is she still with that Marley dude?
Why is it necessary to air the biz in the streets. We all knew she had problems, but he makes it clear that he has some issues too. Why is it necessary to kick her when she is down? He is wack and a has been.
she looks like that crazy lady from sanford and son! Seperated at birth, do it!
she is so cracked up and all up in the marleys asses….much to wyclef for keeping it real…i agree with him on those beats though!
# 30 are you serious>???
well I'm not white but i get confused as a "white person" and as a hispanic I am so glad I never bought one of her cd's or even liked one of her songs!!!!
she looks like new york from flavor of love!
damnnnnnn homie. what happened to my girl??
SHE IS TOTALLY DELUSIONAL !!! SHE REALLY IS MENTALLY ILL !! I FEEL BAD FOR HER CHILDREN FOR HAVING TO DEAL WITH THIS CRAZY HOE !! CAN YOU IMAGINE WHAT SHE MUST BE LIKE AT HOME WITH HER FAMILY???? JESUS
'Clef is a dick. She may be whack, but he is just being a downright cocky asswipe… if her wanting to do a beat and him thinking she can't means that the Fugees will never reunite, that's his fault, not hers. What an arrogant pig. Just let her produce a song.
I would have to agree. What is the big deal about her producing? Most stars do that after years in the business. He acts like the Fugees were huge. They weren't compared to her solo album. And what is he talking about with it would be like him singing an R&B song…he has…badly. But she was right, Wyclef hasn't put out shit in years that we would buy. Sounds to me like he just doesn't want her to grow or be bigger than him. He was the main draw in the Fugees. She smashed them when she release TMOLH. She may be lost, but until I hear her side, I won't take Wyclef's braided has been ass's word either. Besides, if he was real and a man, he would have kept it in house and kept his mouth shut. That goes for Pras, who was fucking irrelevant when he was actually in the group, as well. Without Lauryn, there is no Fugee's, and they both know that. So who really has the power bitches?
too bad she lost her damn mind.
Can this guy speak English? How many "likes" or other bits of slang does he need to throw out there?
Wheres the DISH on our favorite trainwreck Shitney Spears?
Come On Perez!!!!
isane? insane? or is it more like is-she-sane?
burn
and man, i used to like her. that pic just scares the shit out of me. hostel take 3.
love love love this photo
she's hot
xoxoxoxo

I think that Lauryn is brilliant, however, at the moment very misunderstood. I have no idea what happened to her after that record and guess what neither do any of you. I think that its funny how you were all on her jock when Miseducation came out… she became a recluse for a while didn't put out another album angering some petty fans, and now after weathering whatever storm she is in/ or out of you slam her. I don't think she's gone nuts… I think she ascended to a higher level of stardom (after her album won critical acclaim) and maybe didn't like what she was around (check out her poem ‘Motives and Thoughts’)– When you become a super star people become demons! The entertainment biz is straight shady (period)! I wish her the BEST. Also, not to mention who would listen to Wyclef Jean (he seems cool and all no shade) but didn’t he cheat on his wife not only w/ Lauryn but w Shakira?… Didn’t he follow Shakira around on her tour like a small puppy sniffing??? Check the SOURCE snitches before you ENDORSE! And in other words don’t ride the band wagon clowns. PEACE!
wow shes such a talent..what a waste that shes crazy
the only reason why your always first is bc you have no life and your on perez all day.
What the hell happened to her looks? She looks like Oprah on crack. Way older than what she is supposed to look…
Doesnt she realize that just because she won all of those Grammys that year it doesnt mean that she is the hottest shit on the planet, just the hottest THAT YEAR!! SHE WAS A FLASH IN THE PAN !!! LONG FORGOTTEN !!! I think she truly believes that she is still a star !! DELUSIONAL !!! BITCH BETTER GO FUCK FOR SOME TRACKS !!
shes a train wreck ..i mean cmon look at her face
#55 NEEDS TO LAY OFF THE PIPE !!!
you forgot to add UGLY
She has always been a racist maniac. Remember when she said that thing about starving before she would have white people buy her albums. She is ridiculous and hopelessly ruined.
yikes, that's a horrible pic of Lauryn!
#55
he sooOOOooo did not cheat on his wife with Shakira!
have you seen Shakira? ok then
Don't know about her.. but I sure know about him.
Wyclef can't talk about stealing… he's guilty himself. Can you say "Art Neville"?
i used to think she was one of the most gorgeous people around. Has she lost it, or just trying to look ridiculously ugly?
Yoooo in this picture, she looks like that guy from that 70's-80's show that teaches people english on pbs in the afternoon….lmaooo
I WANT TO KNOW WTF HAPPENED TO THIS GIRL !! WAS IT DRUGS?? SHE WAS SO SMART AND ARTICULATE AND HIP !! HAD TO HAVE BEEN DRUGS !!
Fucking monkey. A monkey clown.
HIIII KERRRIII-LAUREN HILL STOLE IT BECAUSE SHE'S BLACK, RIGHT? JUST LIKE DINA HAS THOSE NAILS B/C SHE'S FROM LONG ISLAND?
THAT'S ALL
I THINK LAUREN HILL IS A RACIST BITCH BUT…WOW- OK- NICOLE U R A RACIST CUNT. THAT COMMENT ISN'T DIRECTED AT LAUREN PERSONALLY, THAT'S APPARENT. ARE U KERI?
You're nailed it when u said she was Clockwork crazy!!!!!!! I don't care if she shits a master piece for her next album I wouldn't buy it just on principal alone. BE GONE u racist bigot.
SHE LOOKS LIKE A BLACK BETTE DAVIS IN WHATEVER HAPPENED TO BABY JANE! FREAKY!
HEY NICOLE-IT'S NOT NICE TO ASSOCIATE MONKIES AND CLOWNS WITH THIS BITCH…BUT THAT WASN'T YOUR POINT, WAS IT…
damn a fugees comeback would have been awesome, i guess it ain't happenin
HEY TAB-BLAH, BLAH, BLAH…. SHE IS A RACIST…OUTWARDLY TOWARDS WHITE PEOPLE. YOU ARE REALLY DUMB.
UGLY HO!!
Notice that nobody in this article is accusing the other of NOT PLAYING anything. He's saying that she's less adept at using music OTHER PEOPLE have played and chopped it up. whatever the fuck that is. So basically it's a fight over who steals better.
Funny, considering how all of Wyclef's solo stuff sucks balls.
i'm sorry, but i've never heard of a more juvenile immature and non-sensical bunch of excuses, than what Wyclef just spouted off.
Instead of being focused on coming of with great ideas — no matter WHO contributed them — **he's** more worried about the CREDIT a persons' gonna get (read: Lauren) if she comes up with an idea that's cool.
Sounds like a very insecure cat.
Oh, and BTW…
Wyclef needs to understand the music biz's terminology when it comes to songwriting and production credits….
Coming up with "beats" is NOT writing/composing. Hell, it's not even "producing". It's called ARRANGING (and maybe even editing, depending on whether you do the chopping or get someone else to do the chopping). And arranging is NOT writing/composing. It's — hello? — arranging.
So if Wyclef is coming up with and chopping (editing) beats, he's not producing OR songwriting. Songwriting splits are supposed to be allocated to arranging (coming up with) "beats". And production points (percentage of a cut in sales) are supposed to be allocated to someone coming up with beats.
Yes, "beats" are important to a songs feel, sound and vibe, but it's not songwriting and it's not production. Production is waaaay larger than just coming up with "beats".
**MAJOR TYPO ALERT & CORRECTION** to my comment @ #82:
I meant to write:
Songwriting splits are NOT supposed to be allocated to arranging (coming up with) “beats”. And production points (percentage of a cut in sales) are NOT supposed to be allocated to someone coming up with beats.
If someone wants to be an idiot and give away major songwriting credits to someone coming up with beats, then so be it.
But coming up with beats, is one part of what is understood to be "arranging".
I don't listen to her stuff
She's scares me. (:^(
WHAT BUTT FUGING TRIBE DOES THIS THING BELONG TO PEREZ ??? AAAAGH ! PUKE–SPIT –FART ! PEREZ YA GOTTA CHANGE UR BRAND OF WACKY WEED ! UR LOSEING IT !!!!!!! DAMN WHAT A SKUNK BITCH !
I didn't understand a word of that.
He's talking beats
Quote
She’s a writer, a vocalist, [and] a great [vocal] composer. And she’s great at picking out samples
So she hasn’t made any of the beats she got credit for?
It’s real simple—if you did the beats, where are the beats?
Give credit where it's do…any of u's make beats , and not wanna get credit if it becomes BIG..? Thats what He's talking about..
Thank you, Perecito, for posting this picture of Lauryn Hill. I hope you're happy–NOW I'M BLIND!
She's a pretentious and overrated racist has been.
When she came to the UK several years ago she refused to be intereviewed by any white journalists. Black people can be racist too you know and it's something we shouldn't tolerate no matter whom the prejudice is directed against.
she was flat out beautiful and great
at one time
hate it when the real artists ride off the rails
and parasite phoney skags like courtney love, american idulls, justin
mickeymouseclubboyprostitutelake just keep goin' and goin' and goooin…
could you imagine if wyclef was white ?
What language was this guy speaking? I did not understand half of what he was trying to say.
she got them big fat n-monkey lips. phucken ape!. someone give that monkey a banana
oh my gosh, Oprah looks like shit.
The most talented are often the most tormented.
who cares?
the stoopid fu-gees had ONE song, and a remake at that, what? 10 years ago?
nothing new here, and her being a racist maniac isnt news, it is just perez posting filler on a slow lohan day
"I am ready for my close-up now, Mr. DeMille!"
To #30… that's an urban myth. She never said that. It's just sensational enough for people to perpetuate it and it got spread around despite the fact that she never said it.
She is a nutcase though. It's because of that crazy religious svengali, Brother Anthony, that she started following.
Fuck Lauren Hill! I heard she said that she'd rather have her children starve than to have a white person buy her album. Racism is racism! Fuck that racist bitch!
that makes her and Madonna the same person!
