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!

um, sweetie the correct spelling is I-N-S-A-N-E
before you insult, please learn how to spell!
thanks!
To #49… the Fugees weren't huge? They sold over 18 million copies of The Score. Yeah, Lauren sold a lot of records, but you can't say that the Fugees weren't huge when they sold 18 million copies. That's just ignorant.
whats sad is the fugees were amazing.now this psycho bitch is the female axl rose
Everytime you post this pic, I LMFAO because it looks like Oprah doing a crazy one-woman Broadway show…..after she has her meltdown.
What the hell is he saying? I understood ZERO of his answers!! She needs a mental hospital and he needs an english class!!!
to #99, yes she did, look it up!
She looks a hot mess. Whoever does her makeup should be shot. It obvious that she needs some serious counselin because she has lost it.
she looks like a black bette davis on crack
she is a talented artist, but i can't get past the "starve before white people buy my albums" comment. i believe wyclef, b/c she is definitely a DIVA. inside hollywood scoop says she makes her makeup artists, hair stylists, etc. ask to enter her personal space before they start making her up. seriously!
shes is soo talented with her voice, but shes such a trainwreck bitch!
#109 I THOUGHT THE SAME THING! BLACK BETTE!
Do we really care? Madonna has been getting away with stealing full songs for years.And you trip out over lauryn stealing a beat?!
Got crack?
shes a racist bitch> her music sucks> go back to the traning camp BITCH
That is one ugly Neegro…I've never liked her, and she's a racist cunt, too.
She looks like a monkey with a hat and lipstick.
you missed the first 'n' in 'insane'. Luv ya!!
Listen to "Lose Myself" from the Surf's Up soundtrack (on iTunes). Lauryn Hill may be crazy but she's a genius.
Perez, you did not spell "insane" correctly. Now we're laughing at you
Very sad they can't get together again. On the other hand, good to see Wyclef Jean doing well. He's a real singing gentleman!
Lauren seems to suck ass I am afraid.
WISH THIS WOMAN WOULD GET IT TOGETHER FOR CRYING OUT LOUD…WHATEVER ISSUES SHE'S BEEN GOING THRU..SHE SHOULD SEEK HELP BECAUSE I'M SURE THE TALENT IS STILL THERE,THE VOICE AND ALL JUST MISGUIDED.
um, all i can say is either 'clef needs to learn to speak correctly or that mag needs to not write the way he talks. i mean for the love of pete. who the fuck really talks like that?! black, hip hop, wake and bakers, that's who.
Don't forget that she is a RACIST!!!
She's a has been…next!
Hope this clown get some spiritual help!
OMG!!!! it can't get worst than this….the picture reminds me of the ugliest dog of the year award from last year
Fugees wanna come back, and Lauryn wanna come back, When we was working on the album………
When we was working on the album?
someone teach this guy how to speak English.
How unfortunate.
so what if she wants to produce? if she does it and it is bad and u and pras decide u dont want her songs on the album then i would understand. but u didnt give her a chance. wyclef just doesnt want her to produce.
i dont care if she is racist, she is a fuckin awesome artist, and i hope she comes back with some good stuff.
lauryn hill is sooooo tampon (nasty) it's disgusting
Looks like lauryn won some but she just lost one!
That's the problem with songwriting today, write a damn song and quit worrying about creating a beat you stole from a sample of someone elses song!
I read in an old issue of "Jane" magazine (from like 2004) that "The Miseducation…" was like our generation's "Blood on the Tracks." Besides the fact that that is total blasphemy, it seems that "Miseducation…" is all but completely forgotten, while "BOTT" is still a classic. Oh, and I don't think Bob Dylan would ever be accused of plagerism.
She is also a racist, saying "I rather have my children starve than have a white person buy my album"
this bitch looks like the ho that sells crack in the ghetto…..she is so going downhill I think her issue is that she could never live up to her past…has been ho
once again. What is up with her Make up!!!
CRAZY!!! GOT DRUGS? and A REHAB? =)~
Im glad he dished about this bitch i hate her anymore.
Can someone please translate that into English cause I don't know what in the hell he was saying
Woof, Lauryn! What happened? All I can say is "Now I don't/I used to/love her/now I don't".
AT least now we know what happened to baby jane!
Nice use of the English language you idiot.
Wyclit, go back to skool.
She looks like a very upset Oprah!
she does look pretty wacked out here.. but she's got more talent then any of the other fugees. she should produce
To 107… Not only did she not say it, MTV released a statement saying that she never made the comments, and Lauren went on Howard Stern and did several other interviews to say that she never made those statements. Someone lied and Stern perpetuated the lie and said that she said all that bullshit. You should look it up and see for yourself. It's all a vicious rumor that got spread around.
she looks like mimi from the drew carey show
To everyone who thinks that she made these racist comments, like she'd rather have her children starve than have white people buy her albums, please go read this: www.snopes.com/quotes/lauryn.htm. She never said that shit.
Can anyone translate that into English for me
She looks like BETTE DAVIS in "What Ever Happened To Baby Jane?"!!!
That bitch has been crazy from the get..
She openly hates all white people, But look at all of us who liked her in the begining..Stank bitch
I love Wyclef.
Holy Craps! Lauryn Hill is a meth fiend!
i still lovie that gal though =).
I guess when the money gets low you cant buy expensive makeup any more you start buying the one 4rm the thrift stores you know the one that makes that *GLOOP* sound when you put it on
i hope that wyclef's people read this, but this is my honest opinion. when i think of the fugees i only see this one very talented black woman that stood out of the three. with her voice she radiated light she brought the songs to life. and when she came out with her solo album she made me proud as a woman even though my skin color may be different than hers. i feel sorry for the fact that she feels that way about white people but that's the problem when someone generalizes things too much. currently, i feel like she's fallen off the horse. it surprises me because she's not the lauryn hill that i remember. she needs to clean herself up then maybe she will have a better reception from people.
WHAT'S ISANE?
perez you need to quit bashing LH. Why do you feel so threathened by people with real talant? pls. u all don't buy into this shit. Lauryn hill is the fucking greatest , just go to youtube to listen to her songs both old and new ones. peace and love (spread the word)
The very people that have made her money are the people she hates. She said so herself. She once said that she didn't like the fact that white people bought her records. So you know what? Fuck her then!!!!! I too loved Lauryn Hill at one point, but she no longer cares about the fans that made her so popular and loved.
scroe whyclef i just want to see lauryn she's the star
