damn

What happened to Lauryn?????????

2nd?

so black folks that take horseback lesson r on rocks…come on bossip, why always so negative towards ms. hill…let her mind her business

I am a devout Lauryn supporter and always will be. She is what Michael is to most. I am loyal to the end…..and it is my belief that Lauryn Hill will continue to reign SUPREME. She is normal, and her style is unmatched by any. Say what you want, but this woman is an entertainer and a true artist. The many sides of Lauryn only make for a better entertainer. Please Lauryn, give us another Miseducation….ten+ is too long! She’ll be back bigger (not literally) and better than ever, watch people….you’ll be belivers! Everything is everything!

Wandered in right off the streets, makes it sound like she was barefoot and dirty. I bet she came there in a car

Newsworthy? I think not…

Tell us she’s droppin an album or something, not she’s riding a horse! SMH @ BOSSIP

bob marley’s son got her head screwed

Leave her alone bossip…

!!! with anger !!!
LEAVE HER ALONE!

Now they knew that Lauren would NOT be a good replacement for The Joker in Dark Knight: The lost Jester…..lol

What in the world is WRONG the chile??

leave that crazy bitch alone before she puts a hex on all of you.

@PhillyGrownYoungWoman:

*high five* I co-sign that!

Shiid….After watching Shottas I fell in LOVE with his other son, Ky-Mani Marley. I can see why tho…..lol

Either that or he got some roots on her!

I love riding…horses too.

Can’t wait for homegirl to get it together.

…sorry for my first joke, little cad, but hey…

anybody remember when lauryn hill was on as the world turns. she was a beautiful child then and she is a beautiful child now, she needs our help and prayers. stop being so negative

Double u o double u

Still love ya Lauren….BTW, if you hook me up with Damien or most importantly the family friend Spragga Benz, im totally willing to pop out 5 of their babies and be strung out like you….just being honest….

lol @ Esh~BX/SC~, i dont know what happen 2 her, but if she dont look like Oprah! i’ll i’ll be a horses uncle and i’m a woman.

What the hell is she wearing?

I Love Lauren but I hate what’s happen to her! DAMMIT!!

@ cutemama007 you was wrong fo that “wow” …..;o)

I LOVE LAURYN..I can not wait until she gets herself together because ALL THIS GARBAGE MUSIC COMING FROM THESE other Heffas IM SO SICK OF IT, its gettin played out seriously..LAURYN WE NEED YOU real talk.

Oh, wow, this is an old photo, right?

Someone, please arrange an intervention for Sister Lauryn — She is a true talent (unlike many of the lightweights today whose music will not stand the test of time) and The Miseducation is a masterpiece.

I BOUGHT A 55 INCH TELEVISION YOU KNOW AND EVERYONCE IN A WHILE I HEAR JUST SAY NO…..OR THE OTHER COMMERCIAL I LOVE IZ WHEN THEY SAY THIS YOUR BRAIN ON DRUGZ…. SO I JUST GRAB THE REMOTE AND JUST TURN CUZ WITH THIS BULLSHIT IM NOT CONCERNED! LOVE GONNA GET YOU …LET US MOVE ON !!

lol! why’d you change the original caption bossip? it was funny as shit!

MZ HILL ….BIG UP RUPERT …YEEEAH….. BLOUSE AND SKIRT!!!

BTW, the blog The Root, theroot.com, ran an excellent commentary last year on what went wrong for Lauryn. It was a good read:

http://www.theroot.com/views/confessions-lauryn-hill

I want the old L-Boogie back. This one looks like Sho’Nuff.

Hi Glok9n!
Hi Sydney!

This pic is old as hella,, I know you have to have something a bit more current, or at least differrent,, why this pic all the time

Hey Aunt Viv!

Yes, I want L-Boogie back, too. *sniffle*

The music scene isn’t the same without her.

Say what you want but the miseducation of Lauryn is one of the best R&B albums. Lauryn hill is a tremendous talent. Perhaps she was to just raise her kids normal. Maybe she did not want them in the spotlight.

Now when she decides to make a new album it will be better than any of these new artist. That is what you call talent!

Hey Aunt Viv!

Hey Sydney

I am waiting for L-Boogie too, but her album gets alot of playtime with me! timeless

Hey Peeps

Get well Lauren the game needs you

Sydney im about to read the blog even though im pretty sure on what its going to say. Thanks

Hey BE

Yes, I have many favorites from that album.

Well, maybe this is a good start. I really like her music and I hope that she releases something in the future.

HEY AUNTIE I BIGD YOU UP IN THE OTHER THREAD YOU LEFT …..SO IMMA BIG YOU UP AGAIN CUZ YOU GOT IT LIKE THAT…. MUCH LOVE SIS, NUFF RESPECT!!!

OK i skimmed the article, same reasons i’ve read a million times over….

HEY @AKEYZ HOW ARE TIS MORNING SUGAR PLUM???

Hey Purp

Yeah, the writer, a sister who writes for The Washington Post, talked about the emotional clues in Lauryn’s lyrics. I thought it was very well-written.

See how some white people hold down Brittany when she was going through her phase and black folks steady tearing Lauren down? SMH!!!

I think Erykah is a little unhinged, too, but she still puts out music — Her quirkiness is part of what makes her music stand out, IMHO.

I still routinely play Mama’s Gun.

Hey Be, Hey AKeys, thank you Glok!

@Sydney,
I’m sending some cleansing sage L-Boogie’s way, get them demons outta her…

At least we know she’s still alive.

Syd…..she’s in love with a Marley…Absolutely NO emotional clues needed. on another note… I think Lauryn should be in the top 10 most beautiful women, maybe #1. She is so beautiful. That pic on the blog reminded me sydney, considering the pic above.

Bossip why didn’t you use the other photo of L. Hill when you write on the pic ” Got Rocks??”….you guys are a trip for these photos…there are some better ones of her out there…Wow…

LOL@unhinged….considering these days and times…that may be a good thing…Im sensitive when it come to my Erykah now.

@ Glok9n

Hey hunny how are you ? Its about –5 outside just came back from class

Hey Aunvt Viv

Whats up this morning

Cleansing sage is good, Aunt Viv

@Purp

I’ve always thought Lauryn was a very attractive woman, and if this is what being in love with a Marley will do, I think any sensible woman should pass. No one is worth your sanity.

You don’t think Erykah’s a tad bit nutty? And I also say that as a fan and in the best way possible.

And, yes, Purp, they should have used a better photo of Lauryn — The one on The Root is striking.

I love Lauryn…This is a way old pic and I hope she gets herself tgether and makes a come back….

Lauren Just had her 5 kid

Syd im kinda at a loss for how she would let him drive her crazy… but her being American and him being Rastafari I can def understand where the problems lie. If it bothers her so, but she is going to say she needs to get some pointers from Rita Marley.

Ahhh, when you say Erykah is nutty, Id agree in the general consensus but I really think it’s her being on another level most people aren’t on and can’t comprehend. Everybody’s domestic situations and purposes in life aren’t meant to be the same. She is a mother and healer and very conscious which i dont find anything nutty about, but on the outside lookin in i see why other people perceive her that way.

@ALWAYZ KNEW WHATZ UP MY BELOVED SISTER…. I ALWAYZ KNEW I BUMP INTO THIS MORNING …HOW THE HECK ARE YOU GAL!!!

“but she is going to stay” it should read

I’m chillin’ AKeys,

I may be down in DC next week too, haven’t decided, but have taken that day off…

@ Sydney

Erykah is a little Nutty but she also is a genius
Erykah and Lauren love popping out those kids god bless them

Lauryn is doing her. I am a huge fan of her, and I think people are forgetting that she was with Rohan, and had his child, before Miseducation ever came out. And she has came out with other music, if you havent heard the Unplugged she did, i suggest you go grab that, because to me, there is no other artist that is that real. Lauryn has devoted her life to god, and she talks about that on the unplugged, how before she was so concered with what everyone thought, and now, she doesnt give a dam. i honestly dont think she is on rocks, she is a mother, and maybe she just dont wanna be in the spotlight anymore. Like someone mentioned above, Erykah Badu does/wears the same wacky shit lauryn does, but because miss hill isnt making music for us, she is a crack head?? come on, this woman is genius, a better lyricist then most male rappers, and she speaks the truth. Im not saying that Rohan is a saint, but they are still together, so what is everyone implying he did to her?

IM HIGH AS A FUK RIGHT NOW …WOW!!!

@ Aunt ViV
Going down on Friday I am so excited Hope to catch the concerts saved up all my money hopefully i don’t act a fool

It saddens me to see lauryn like this.

SHE GAVE HER LIFE TO SALASSIE AND HEZ NOT GOD NOR SENT BY GOD ..SORRY TO MY DREAD AND LOCKZ BUT ….MZ HILL IZ UNDER MEDICATION THEY PUT A SPELL ON SHE!!!

SHE GAVE HER LIFE TO SALASSIE AND HEZ NOT GOD NOR SENT BY GOD ..SORRY TO MY DREAD AND LOCKZ BUT ….MZ HILL IZ UNDER MEDICATION THEY PUT A SPELL ON SHE!!!

SHE LOOKS LIKE THE FACE OF HELL WITH A LOTTA BLUSH ON!!!

yeup, a lot of people/Rastafari’s worship Salassie, but he may be a prophet, I can’t say he is not, just like Marley was.

Hi AKeys

@Purp

I think a lot went on between Lauryn and Rohan, as you alluded to — I also think Lauryn became very famous very quickly (remember the year she won all the Grammys), and not everyone can handle, nor wants, that sudden crush of being under a microscope.

As for Erykah, I agree with you that she is very conscious and her music is on another level — I think she may be one of those individuals whose talent is on the genius echelon (which is why I love her music), and not everyone may be able to grasp her lyrical context.

Let’s face it — If you only listen to the radio on a daily basis, you will become accustomed to bubble gum, crass, basic-level music with little to no innovation. Lauryn, Erykah, and others are far beyond that.

But I happen to think there’s nothing wrong with a creative genius being a little nutty — Some of the best writers, for example, weren’t exactly even-keeled, and their art reflects that, and it’s beautiful. There is beauty and authenticity in the chaos.

How do i get my gravatar to show? I’ve signed up and cleared my cache. Do i have to install a wordpress plugin also?

Exactly Sydney I agree…nutty in a good way, quirky like genius’s are you know…like me

As Seal sang (one of my favorite songs of his), we’re never gonna survive unless we are a little crazy. . .

and yes Syd Im sure her whole value system was in stark contrast to what fortune and fame brings!

LOL, yes, Purp, like you. The “nutty” genius people are the most interesting, and they have the deepest reflections on life.

Purp, the more I think about it, the more I think it was the crush of fame that may have contributed to her disillusionment, and I think she has talked about it in interviews. I recall an interview she conducted recently with Essence, and I think she discussed that aspect.

I think some people — maybe most, if they had the choice — to immerse themselves in their art and not the high price of fame.

@Akeys,
“Going down on Friday I am so excited Hope to catch the concerts saved up all my money hopefully i don’t act a fool”
________________________________________________
I propose to Bossip that instead of a daily Beyonce post next Tuesday, they have folks going to the inauguration give first-hand accounts of what it’s like in DC that day, especially those who got tix to the actual festivities…

OK, noon meeting BRB

What’s up Sydney

That’s a great idea, Aunt Viv!

@oatmeal

Did you check your gravie at http://www.gravatar.com?

BRB see you guys later

Yes Sydney thats what i read also..it was everything that came with the fame too, the pressure of light and dark skin and the whole perception of what she is supposed to be.

sydney

Yes i did. I even rated it G.

*SMDH* at “part-time clown” that aint even right but I still laugh! ROTFLMFAO

Sydney i think her relationship made it even worse for her, im sure everybody and they mother was advising against her and Rohan’s relationship…

Hmmm, you make some interesting points, Purp.

@Oatmeal

I’m sorry — Maybe it would help if you went through the process again? I was able to get mine up pretty quickly.

BRB

sydney

Thanks.

Syd I read the light and dark thing in some interview she did, she basically said they always wanted to put heavy make up on her or lighter make up on her and she didn’t like that and she got to a point where she wouldnt wear any because under all of the makeup she was really unhealthy…or something to that effect, then everyone’s got their Wyclef theories too. ah well

bossip sometimes you can be PURE HATERS…leave the unnecessary hate to the other bloggers who are naturally miserable and angry…not sure why this was posted…she just went to the saddle…now had there been pics of her looking crazy then you have a story…just like you ask african-americans to do better in ’09 with barack in the white house…i’m asking you not to do the unnecessary hating thing…thanks

@Sydney

The big difference between Lauryn and Erykah is not that E still puts out (good) music but that she still sounds good. Lauryn’s voice is completely shot! I saw her last year in Oakland when she did that brief tour and the year before in SF and not only did she look like this pic but her already raspy voice was just hard to listen to (no, I mean it was so bad, people were leaving, folks behind us were laughing and only the real die-hards stayed and endured, cheering and shouting out songs hoping she would sing something we knew)…most of the music she did was unrecognizable and, I’m sorry, strange. She even fell on stage and just laid there for a sec, then got up and just continued her thing. When she did sing her old music, it was reprised in stranged ways so you couldn’t get into it, sing along, etc. She didn’t interact with the crowd at all and hardly said a word.

I am a die hard L-Boogie fan too, all the way up to her unplugged album (still listen to “i get out” and “conquering Lion” on my rough days) but I just don’t think she’ll sing again…for a long time. It would take a lot to repair her voice, on top of her mind. Dont mean to be negative, just what I see. Plus, I don’t think she wants that life anymore.

Look at Whitney, she been making a comeback for a few years now.

Immac Percep I dont think she wants that life anymore either…maybe its all the tweeds, erykah be heavy on the tweeds too but Lauryn is a regular in Jamaica so………..

Hey Purpple Purpple!!!!

Hey Sydney!

I love lauryn, and Erykah!! I just threw that out there since I dont know where the convo is at right now.. lol

I’m gonna find Spragga benz one day and give him to Purpple for a bday present… lol

NINNNNNAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! that will apart of my mission in Jamaica!!!!!!!!!!!!!

“let me hold you close, and keep you safe and warm, let me keep you heeeeere, to ease away your fears, it would be so niiiiice, if only for one niiiighhht”

tell em Luther Gotdaymit!

@Imacualate Perception

Damn!

rofl… okay girl I feel you on that! honey, with determination that will NOT be a mission impossible. lol

I wish i never watched Shottas!

LMAO Nina, tell me about it, i’ve been doing “the secret” on Spragga since i saw shottas…i am willing it with my mind…….

She fascinates me – for all the wrong reasons. How do you achieve five Grammies off your first solo album, win critical and commercial acclaim and THEN your career nosedives into the toilet?!? How the F–K does one do that?!?

Did the Marley brothers use her as a human pincushion, pass her from one to the other, demean her and get in her head that badly??? Damn, girl. Get some f–king help.

Hey Nina, Redd

@Immaculate Perception

Wow. . .I haven’t heard Lauryn’s voice recently — and I have the same album as you — but your description is very sad. Maybe it’s too optimistic to expect her to make a comeback soon, and, like you said, maybe she doesn’t want that life anymore.

I don’t know about Whitney — I thought she was working with Clive Davis on a new album, but I haven’t heard anything about it. I still love old school Whitney, though, and at her prime, she had a voice rivaled by few others.

@Purp

For some reason, your remarks on colorism and the Eurocentric model of beauty made me think of India’s song from a few years back (love it and the video):

Good hair means curls and waves (no)
Bad hair means you look like a slave (no)
At the turn of the century
It’s time for us to redefine who we be
You can shave it off
Like a South African beauty
Got it on lock
Like Bob Marley
You can rock it straight
Like Oprah Winfrey
If its not what’s on your head
It’s what’s underneath and say
HEY….

[Chorus]
I am not my hair
I am not this skin
I am not your ex-pec-tations no no (heyy)
I am not my hair
I am not this skin
I am a soul that lives within

Lauryn is ILL no matter what names you call her BOSSIP! She probably broke down because of judgemental phoney motherf**kers in the cannibilistic world of entertainment. We won’t discuss the cruel audience and their misery.

My crazy aunt Janice use to wear her blush like that. I remember acting out in school my mother would send her to embarrass the hell outta me. Apparently Lauryn wanted us to see what has been done to her and its painful to watch.

“The only wealth I have to give, is not material – and if you need much more than that, I’m not available.”~LAURYN HILL

owwwwww, jammin to that song by India Syd..(my friends in that vidyo)

I love India Irie.. that song went right over most peoples heads… idiots.

Sydney.. I have hope for lauren, and wish her the best. But I have no sympathy at all for whitney for some reason. I cant stand someone who hides behind a fiscade like that. she shocked everyone with this cookie cutter image and you seen what she really was. then everyone blames everything on bobby (the man) cant nobody make you do something that drastic without wanting to do it, or being beyond weak.

but i think lauryn will be ok. some folks people think are nuts… are anything but.

NINA that was a really good way to put it and I Def agree with the Whitney statement. Like attracts like. I remember they announced they was getting married on dang Arsenio Hall, remember that like it was yesterday..Bobby was a cutie.

Your friend is in the video, Purp? That must have been exciting.

Yeah, that song — and its poignant message — should have gotten much more airplay.

Hey Syd! Whats up, I know you counting down the days till inauguration

Hey Purp! You comming down..

What up Nina!

I really dont know what happened to Lauryn, she was and I beleive still is a great talent..Seems like it could be a spirtual element causing her not to come back…being a celeb is sorta like a curse to me….

“nothing even matters” with lauryn and d’angelo.. is one of the greatest songs ever recorded.

-mutha fukin fact

lol

Sad

I had no idea that Whitney was so, uh, well, “common” until I learned more about her background — She was a character long before she met Bobby, but the two of them together was a disaster.

And now I think her voice may not hold up to what it once was, and that’s tragic because she had a phenomenal vocal range.

Purpple… Bobby said Whitney is the one that got him hooked on coke first.. not the other way around. I believe they both liked coke, did it together and the rest is history..

AT least he never faked his shit, he had his little “image” from jump, he is the same “ignant” way everytime he’s on tv.

bobbi christina know what’s up.. lol

she could perform the drawls off Beyonce without 1 shake of the @ss…..

@Redd

I’m kind of bummed because I have to go out of town this week because of a family obligation, so I’m going to miss all the weekend events.

Are you exciting?

I’m still deciding what I’m going to do Tuesday — Most likely, I’m going to stay out of D.C., lol. I keep getting these traffic alerts, and it sounds like a complete headache.

Ms. Hill is beyond what we may undestand to be normal. I also saw her perfom I think two summers ago and all I can is “wow”!!!!!!!!!!! It was just so strange to watch a woman sing her old songs and her heart isn’t in it anymore. i almost wanted to cry, not from her horrible afro wig, clown makeup, and a winter outfit in 80 degree weather, but wondering where her mind went. She claims that she makes music for her children now,thats fine with me but please don’t release clown music to the public. Some people blame it on her man, but i think it’s much deeper!I can’t blame Lauryn for being out of space right now because she had to get away so that she did not become that hollywood robot. What I saw two years ago on stage was not l Boogie, it was a woman that I still can’t put into words. just strange!

whut up Redd!!

Yhea being celeb can be a curse. I’d take fortune (spiritual & financial) over fame.. anyday.

Marshabio, you can say that again!!

OK, I didn’t want to delve into this too deeply, but the Essence article on Lauryn sort of alluded to her mind state, and mental illness may be a possibility as well. . .It’s not as if other performers haven’t had their careers derailed, or worse, because of it.

On a side note, I still have yet to see the Unsung special on Phyllis Hyman on TV One. The ones I saw on Donnie Hathaway and DeBarge were chilling.

This is really sad.

I had a crush on The Miseducation Lauryn. Her locs were sexy.

What’s up Sydney, Nina Knows, Purpple?

Redd Tony

It sounds like you have a list of problems. Hopefully, you can get rid of some.

Purpple.. I feel like watching that youtube video you have on erykah when she talking about what all you have to do to make it in the industry. that shit was HILARIOUS!!!

Sydney.. essense articles are good, but dont forget they do contribute some of their own opinions. I’d try to catch something she’s said out of her own mouth verbatim. I seen the unsung with p.hyman.. it had nice contributions, her sister and close friends talked. her suicide is so sad because it could have been prevented. such a beautiful lady.

Hey Film!

Yes Lauryn was so gorgeous during that time.

stop putting that picture of lauryn hill up, you f*cks

Nina Knows

Yes, she was. Her skin was flawless.

Hey Film

Yeah, I don’t think the Essence interviewer had the best experience with Lauryn, Nina.

Yes Syd he is in two of her vids lookin good and what not

LOL…hey now Redd..U know im going nowhere near ur town on the 20th and i mean NOWHERE!

Hey Film glad you could join us!

Nina Erykah be having me trippin, she seem like the straight shooter type that don’t play but so much.
You know Bobby and Whitney were equally responsible..birds of a feather

Sydney Wyclef said she had mental issues

@Sydney

Yeah Ill be going to the events this weekend. A lot of important people are going to be in town..As for inauguration day, Im calling out sick and staying home..

Hey I saw the Phillis Hyman special with my lady, and she was in tears at the end…It was a tradgic end but it was good..I heard the DeBarge one was good too..

A friend of mine told me about the Wyclef interview on Lauryn, but I haven’t seen it, Purp. I thought he could have kept that to himself. Unless he’s trying to help her, it’s a personal matter, IMHO.

@Purp

At least scoop up some of your friends for tha parties this weekend!

hold up the radio is playing Genuwine so anxious ill return…

So anxious. . .Meet me at 11:30. . .I like it when you’re talking dirty. . .

*reminiscing*

Oh, yes, Redd, I’m sure the Phyllis Hyman special was very emotional — another talent lost.

And I cried during the DeBarge segment — I had no idea their lives were so hellish growing up and that they came from an abusive background. It was hard to watch.

WHEW, im back had to get my chair wind on…anywho, Syd I dont know why Wyclef would put that out there especially with their intimate history

Redd..haha, they will be down there, they are catching the train and im pretty sure they will be at some of the parties but not I. Do you go out/club/party alot in DC? Haven’t been to DC since the summer…zanzibar

Yes Sydney that is the Jam

I havn’t seen those specials but I have read Phyllis’s story. I can totally see how she was tormented…she was a phenomenal woman

Never knew that about the Debarge’s…but with Chico being an inmate and “hustler” type and all i figured something was up

What’s up ladies and gents, how’s my people?

Purp, apparently, they were all abused (Bunny was sexually abused) by their father, who happened to be white, and their mother, a black woman, felt that the police wouldn’t take the violence seriously. She also had several kids with him and thought she would be unable to care for them on her own.

Hey Dapro Was that really you last night?

If you wanna ride…don’t ride the white horse

Hey Dap what up?

whut up Dapro!

Purp.. that entire album that had anxious on it was FIRE!!! I wish I still had it.

Film.. when you said that the first thing came to mind was her flawless skin.

“If you wanna ride…don’t ride the white horse”

LMAO

OK, I had no idea what this song really meant — I thought they were talking about an actual horse, like My Little Pony.

The question is Sydney was that you last nite?! lol

dont mind me.. back on topic

@Nina

Say what? I logged off at 5.

Yeah it was me, Nina can verify that…..

I wasn’t trying to “hate” but it was so seductive yet innocent I had to say something

Film

Good choice bruh

LOL @ dapro

*putting halo back on*

That’s ok Syd

Like Andre 3000 said “Even Steven Wonder got down”

We got more snow last night and we’re expecting even more the next few days

I’m getting closer and closer to moving to either Dallas or Houston 4real

LOL!

Purpp

What’s up lovely lady? Hit a brotha with some good news

Nina I tried to hit you back last night but you must have bounced on me

I was looking forward to chatting with you especially after Romeo and Juliet did their thang LMAO

She’s a crazy genius. I love her.

good news..hmmm, tomorrow’s hump day..will that do?

DAYYYM Sydney I did NOT know the Debarge’s were going through that, nor did I know they mix was black and white. Im sorry to hear the first part

Nina Ginuwine was the ishh girl, that album was fire. Him and Alliyah was on some ole other, back when Timb was really bumpin

Ayo Purp, I calmed down on the partying lately, but I will be out this weekend though…Im trying to hit up a “black tie” affair or sumn and chat wit some big wigs, and try and get some connections…Zanizbar is cool though..I havent been there in a while, but I had an ok time when I went..dont know what type of atmospher you like, but if you comming down I can make some suggestions..

What up Pro!

@Film

I dont fret at problems at all my dude..Ill scratch em off my list one by one…

damn lauryn! not lauryn shiiit…

and damn Sydney.. my little pony?? lol

Redd what’s up bruh, your city is about to get hit hard come this weekend

Purpp

Not quite what I had in mind

Since I can’t take you to dinner, who are the top 5 people you want to converse (I want to say conversate bad azz hell) with and why?

If I change my mind Redd I will seek u out, it’s definitely going to be a time to network for sure. I’m just not into crowds that big, it is going to be a sight to see. Zanzibar is cool, only went there because H20 started closing the doors at like 145/2 which was whack.

LOL@ the conversate reference

Top 5 on Bossip Dap?

@Purp

I feel you on tha crowd, but I think it will more than enough places to roam without getting claustrophobia (sp) lol

@Pro

I know dogg, Ima take advantage!

@Redd

No doubt, go easy though. You can’t kill ignorance in a weekend.

@Purpp

Hmmm…..Not Bossip but since you mentioned it(Bossip and Non-Bossip historical or otherwise)

Dapro.. that was funny, i think i noticed it right when you did, it was def some sensual seduction going on, I felt like a little kid seeing something I shouldnt have. lol

Purp.. that whole lil click was the shit.. genuwine, aaliyah, tim, missy.. even magoo ugly self.

Sydney.. .. it was cute, very cute!

I wanna go to Zanibar too..

He never wavered in his approach. I believe he was misunderstood and is being misrepresented as I dreamer instead of a thinker. I’d ask him about the current state of America especially Black America

Imhotep

Bogus portrayal of him in the Mummy movies. I’d ask him how he feels being known for as a villain in a movie as opposed to the architect of Egypt and the first to perform open heart surgery

I got two more but Bossip is on that dumb sh*t

Hmm, I’m thinking of my list, Dapro.

At the moment, these are definites:

Malcolm X
Zora Neale Hurston
My maternal grandmother (never had the chance to say goodbye)

I was just about to ask, where the hell is your list.. lol

good list dapro…. Malcolm.. MOST DEF.

Very interesting about Imhotep.

Mike Tyson
My Father

mike tyson.. intresting, very inresting

your father.. care to elaborate, just a little bit.

actually me too.. my biological one, met em a couple of times, but would really like a one-on-one sit down. have some very deep questions to lay on out there.

I’m also split between Ida B. Wells, Fannie Lou Hamer, and Soujourner Truth — I may need a roundtable with the three of them and a few other inspirationally brave black women.

*Sojourner* Sorry for the typo

sydney.. where is the rest of your list? Real good so far.. but I knew “we” would have good list. those of us that usually talk on this level..

*tapping fingers on desk*.. lol

What would you like to ask Mike Tyson, Dapro?

LOL, I think I went over my limit, Nina — I need a roundtable format, like a conference room where I can have a real, substantive tete-a-tete with these luminaries.

And I need time alone with my grandma.

Tyson was the “people” champ for years. He represented so many of us because he was raw, angry, and didn’t give a fu*k yet you could see his pain and emotion. He was all of us in that he struggled and fought to get to a certain level but he serves as an example of what not to do

No superstar has ever risen to the heights he has and then fallen so fast to the point were it’s sad to look at him

I’m an 80’s baby and Tyson was that dude

As for my dad, I got nothing but love for that cat but I know I never got his best years. I’m been basically the father in the situation for awhile now. That’s all I can really say about that right now

HEY ALL, NINA, sista I see u & purp still holding it down (no head busting today) I see (lol) stand your ground I love it when you be ck’ing that azz, but some ppl never learn there will be other challenges comin your way (Handle it) Glok…..smh what are we to do w/you u so fly/ u stay hi…that must be nice to just float thru the dayzzzzz, oh my bad, anyway what up bro.? Saw all the unsung series SAD, SAD, SAD< got to see Phyliss Hyman yr ago in Louisville at the Gardens (she Tall) like 6’2-gorgous use to love her..(singing) u dont know what it feels like to be lonely….. she was calling just nobody heard…L’Boogie-love her, she was fly…..OK that’s my 2% of being nosey for today. Have A Great Evening ALL……

lol… hey my favorite soldiergirl!

girl you know how we do it, I pretty much keep the peace with people until they come sideways.. .then I let loose… and Im the one wrong!……. go figure.. lol

I agree with your entire post.
Have a good one lady!!

Dapro..

I totally, totally agree about Tyson, all the way.

you are so correct, he did mean alot, He is the ultimate rags to riches story. I hate how his career and life turned out, it ended overshadowing what he was founded on.

do you remember the movie “a low down dirty shame” with jada pinket.. when she had the argument over ali and tyson.. I will never forget when the wayan dude said tyson is dumb and cant even spell muhammad ali (me either, lol)… and she said “hold up, muhammad ali, cant even spell muhammad ali”… CLASSIC

Nina

LMAO…….Yeah I remember that line, classic

Muhammed is my all time idol and I couldn’t put him on the list because it would f*ck me up to see him like that in person

I like the list you and Syd came up with……You must be an 80′s baby too cause Tyson was the sh*t

Everything in the streets stopped when a Tyson fight was on

LOL… yup I am an 80′s baby fa sho.

I’m an 80′s baby, but I’m not a fan of Tyson. . .

I would also add Langston Hughes and Richard Wright.

Syd..not a tyson fan?

Would it surprise to know that Tyson was an avid poet and scholar in the Penn? lol

Come on, dapro, my brother, he is a convicted rapist, right?

Would it surprise me if he was avid poet and scholar? LOL, I don’t care if he studied Shakesperean writing — He’s still a brute.

*Shakespearean*

Syd, He is a convicted rapist but do you really think he did it?

Is OJ really in jail for the last conviction of his prior issue?

See my point, Tyson was no saint but rapist he was not. If videotaping was as heavy then as it is now I think we’d be singing a different tune about Iron Mike

Check out time, I might jump back on later but if not goodnight ladies and be safe geeting home

((kisses the cheeks of Syd, Purpp, and Nina))

Flips collar and exits

Bye, Dapro!

In short, yes, I think Tyson is capable of a number of violent offenses. I think he has been very troubled for a while, and he did also bite a competitor’s ear off. There’s something wrong. . .

Lauren is fine yall idiots are lying on her…JUDGEMENT DAY IS COMING FOR ALL….2011-2012..Just watch..

What???????? How did you get this info just curious?

LOL sometimes Bossip is just frigging crazy LOLOL

aw naw yall done got to talking about Imhotep and my mike tyson..daym, did yall bring up Noble Jew Ali 2(sp). LOL@that low down dirty shame reference Nina, it was on the other day and for whatever reasons, whenever it comes on I can’t stop watching It. Now those were good movies, but I wonder did Kenan let shawn and marlon get too much say in their movies lately cause he dont make em like he used to…or does money ALWAYS fizzle creativity(hence why you will never see lauryn, erykah and them blow like that again probrably if they be true to self, thats also why Kanye is talking about limiting his fan base)

2 Purpple confessions
Im just realizing the genius in Kanye’s “Heartless”
I like Pretty Ricky, dont buy thier albums but I’ve like every sond that came on that radio..specially that “pretty ricky ricky rickyyyy Hotline” Joint. I dont know I was on a road trip and when they songs come on its like good sunny we bout to get into something music

Yes this is the real Purpple and after you read this message it will self delete from your brain, stare here for 3 seconds…ZAP!

whew

@Bossip

For the love of God Bossip, she just took a ride on a freakin horse…maybe she didn’t have an appointment, but she’s a MegaStar in her own right…Next thing U know Bossip will be like, “Ms. Clown (run a line through the word “clown”) Hill was spotted asking directions to the local restroom, maybe she’s trying to find a place to shoot up some fine china”…get a grip Bossip…I love Lauryn Hill for real

Whad up Purple

extending the Olive Branch…

I LOVES me some L-Boogie and it tears me up to see her like this! All of those damn kids and a crazy ass man can have that affect on you though…damn!

Purpple you are hilarious!!!

damn, so you did pretty ricky too… its funny, I’ve never bought they shit, but liked every radio song. they have that 90′s r&b vibe on lock.

Bossip stop play you always calling it like you see it .You all can’t tell them Marleys put a root on her ass.

That picture made my heart cry

ninaaaaaaa(yellin like a crazy person) lmao, i felt i had to get that confession out girl and you hit it on the dot…the 90′s r&b vibe is right

Taking your Olive Branch(but still skeptical on if I can “trust” you)…its all good though, no problems…

I would have loved to have a convo about your Your Dr.King statement Dap, Daym.

Lauryn, will be alright. She has the spirit of a warrior… Life teaches us and we learn we must live in a different life from the masses of people. Money, fame nothing matters but your soul.
Soul can’t be at war.. Has to be at peace. She found it getting away from evil spirits.

@ Dapro

You forgot to give your nigga 6AM a big fat wet one. I’m still checking for you DAPRO. You are a fine ass man. Holla back at a nigga. You don’t have to be shy.

love 6am

OR, maybe, just like some other celebraties – she could be BI-POLAR! It’s obviouse she needs help and while we’re all here blogging about how foolish she looks, lets not forget that this woman has CHILDREN.

And I wonder, where the hell are they and who is watching them while this woman goes on her little ‘escapades’, ridin’ horses and shit.

Where’s her family and why hasn’t someone come forward to help her?

LAUREN WHAT HAPPEND?????????? ILL STILL COPP YOUR ALBUM IF YOU DROPPED ONE THO

I keep hearin “when she gets it together” or “when she comes back”…..its been 11 years since she went f*ck*n nuts…yawl need to accept the fact that this be-atches mind is gone baby gone….

LEAVE LAURYN ALONE…THIS ARTICLE WAS A WASTE N Y SO NEGATIVE AGAINST HER? ITS OBVIOUS YALL HAVE NUTHIN ELSE TO SAY ABOUT THE GIRL PLEASE LEAVE HER BE…SHE DONT MESS W/ NOBODY

The sad part of this story is that black folks don’t take mental illness seriously. This child is disturbed, and with 5 children it’s no joke. I furious the man she’s been having babies with all these years has ignored what is going on with her. She really need help.

1st of all – mental illness is really NOT that funny, bossip!

2nd of all – I think you are disrespecting Lauryn way too much. She doesn’t deserve that so STEP OFF

cocaine is a powerful drug

Have you guys seen Rohan lately ? Hommie is looking cracked too like Lauren.

Po baby. SMH. I mean D*** she should be performing at the circus looking like that. But then again she took it to far with the costume that she might even scare lil kids cuz hell she even scared me. But homegirl can sing I love her cds’.

what is it with lauryn hill? is she gay? cause that’s what i think from this pic.

Lauren can get a job at chidrens’ birth day parties, lol….

No matter what u HoEs say…The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill was one of the best female solo albums ever!
