This is Your Brain On Drugs

Posted by Bossip Staff

Part time birthday clown,Lauryn Hill, was spotted in Jersey yesterday getting back on the saddle:

LAURYN Hill has a new hobby. On Friday, the former Fugee was at the Essex Equestrian Center in West Orange, NJ, asking for a riding lesson. “She just wandered in right off the street,” said our source. “She asked to get on a horse . . . she did OK for her first time.” The mother of five, who has worked little since winning five Grammys in 1998 with her first solo album, “wandered back out the same way she came in,” our tipster said. The Essex center confirmed: “She took a lesson, yeah.”

Lauryn, you silly Maybelline painted goose, that’s the not damn saddle we were referring to. Leave the “horseys” alone and get off that stuff. The “stuff” possibilities are endless. SMH

  4. MR.....

    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

  5. Razzell Dazzell

    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!

  6. pm

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

    What in the world is WRONG the chile??


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

  13. Politicker

    When you get *****ed up the way she did by one of those Marley kids, you’d be a little ‘off’ too….

    Even with that one solo album, she is still one of the baddest lady’s on the mic…

  14. Raquel26

    @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!

  15. Soul Touch

    I love riding…horses too.

    Can’t wait for homegirl to get it together.

  24. Sydney

    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. :(

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

  28. Sydney

    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

  29. Aunt Viv

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

    Hi Glok9n!
    Hi Sydney!

  30. Moreaces

    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

  31. Sydney

    Hey Aunt Viv!

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

    The music scene isn’t the same without her.

  32. BE

    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!

  33. BE

    Hey Aunt Viv!

    Hey Sydney

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


  34. Hey Peeps

    Get well Lauren the game needs you

  35. PURPPLE

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

  36. Sydney

    Hey BE :)

    Yes, I have many favorites from that album.

  37. Black Beauty

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

  38. GLOK9N:although i hit a pound of herb im still nice with verbz ....so ***** what you heard!!!

    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!!!

  39. PURPPLE

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

  40. GLOK9N:although i hit a pound of herb im still nice with verbz ....so ***** what you heard!!!

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

  41. Sydney

    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.

  42. Allison Mae

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

  43. Sydney

    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.

  44. Aunt Viv

    Hey Be, Hey AKeys, thank you Glok!

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

  45. LYKCAN_D

    At least we know she’s still alive.

  46. PURPPLE

    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.

  47. Sit yo five dollar ***** down before I make some change ( IMA .....A Diva!!!)

    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…

  48. PURPPLE

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


  49. @ Glok9n

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


  50. Hey Aunvt Viv

    Whats up this morning

  51. Sydney

    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 p*****. 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. :)

  52. Sydney

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

  53. always knew

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


  54. Lauren Just had her 5 kid

  55. PURPPLE

    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.

  56. GLOK9N:although i hit a pound of herb im still nice with verbz ....so ***** what you heard!!!

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

  57. PURPPLE

    “but she is going to stay” it should read

  58. Aunt Viv

    I’m chillin’ AKeys,

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


  59. @ Sydney

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

  60. 12345

    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 ***** 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?

  61. GLOK9N:although i hit a pound of herb im still nice with verbz ....so ***** what you heard!!!

    IM HIGH AS A ***** RIGHT NOW …WOW!!!


  62. @ 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

  63. me*****

    It saddens me to see lauryn like this.

  64. GLOK9N:although i hit a pound of herb im still nice with verbz ....so ***** what you heard!!!

    SHE GAVE HER LIFE TO SAL*****IE 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!!!

  65. GLOK9N:although i hit a pound of herb im still nice with verbz ....so ***** what you heard!!!

    SHE GAVE HER LIFE TO SAL*****IE 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!!!


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

  67. PURPPLE

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

  68. Sydney

    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, cr*****, 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?

  70. PURPPLE

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

  71. Sydney

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

  72. PURPPLE

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

  73. Sydney

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

  74. Sydney

    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.

  75. Aunt Viv

    @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…

  76. Aunt Viv

    OK, noon meeting BRB


  77. What’s up Sydney

  78. Sydney

    That’s a great idea, Aunt Viv!

    @oatmeal

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


  79. BRB see you guys later

  80. PURPPLE

    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.

  81. oatmeal

    sydney

    Yes i did. I even rated it G.

  82. knowledgeable

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

  83. PURPPLE

    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…

  84. Sydney

    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

  85. oatmeal

    sydney

    Thanks.

  86. PURPPLE

    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

  87. ~C

    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

  88. Immaculate Perception

    @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.

  89. PURPPLE

    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………..

  90. Nina Knows

    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

  91. Nina Knows

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

  92. PURPPLE

    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!

  93. Redd Tony

    @Imacualate Perception

    Damn!

  94. Nina Knows

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

  95. PURPPLE

    I wish i never watched Shottas!

  96. PURPPLE

    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…….

  97. AWWWWWWWWWWWSHADDAAAAAAAP!!!!

    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, p***** her from one to the other, demean her and get in her head that badly??? Damn, girl. Get some f–king help.

  98. Sydney

    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.

  99. Sydney

    @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

  100. FOREBRAIN

    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 embarr***** 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

  101. PURPPLE

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

  102. Nina Knows

    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 *****ody 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.

  103. PURPPLE

    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 *****nio Hall, remember that like it was yesterday..Bobby was a cutie.

  104. Sydney

    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.

  105. Redd Tony

    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….

  106. Nina Knows

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

    -***** *****in fact

    lol

  107. Marshabio

    Sad

  108. Sydney

    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.

  109. Nina Knows

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

    AT least he never faked his *****, 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

  110. Marshabio

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

  111. Sydney

    @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.

  112. BMW

    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 *****e 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!

  113. Nina Knows

    whut up Redd!!

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

  114. Nina Knows

    Marshabio, you can say that again!!

  115. Sydney

    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.

  116. Ms_NYC

    This is really sad.

  117. Film

    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.

  118. Nina Knows

    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 ***** 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.

  119. Nina Knows

    Hey Film! :)

    Yes Lauryn was so gorgeous during that time.

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

  121. Film

    Nina Knows

    Yes, she was. Her skin was flawless.

  122. Sydney

    Hey Film :)

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

  123. PURPPLE

    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

  124. Redd Tony

    @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..

  125. Sydney

    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.

  126. Redd Tony

    @Purp

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

  127. PURPPLE

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

  128. Sydney

    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.

  129. PURPPLE

    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

  130. GODgonegetyou

    SHUT THE ***** UP, who are you to judge anyone? Really ask yourself that question. And how do you take anything on a gossip site seriously? Ain’t you supposed to be at work?

  131. PURPPLE

    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

  132. dapro

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

  133. Sydney

    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?

  134. miamyamoe

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

  135. PURPPLE

    Hey Dap what up?

  136. Nina Knows

    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.

  137. Sydney

    “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. :)

  138. Nina Knows

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

    dont mind me.. back on topic

  139. Sydney

    @Nina

    Say what? I logged off at 5. :)

  140. dapro

    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

  141. dapro

    Film

    Good choice bruh

  142. Sydney

    LOL @ dapro

    *putting halo back on*

  143. dapro

    That’s ok Syd

    Like Andre 3000 said “Even Steven Wonder got down”

  144. dapro

    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

  145. Sydney

    LOL!

  146. dapro

    Purpp

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

  147. dapro

    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


  148. She’s a crazy genius. I love her.

  149. PURPPLE

    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

  150. Redd Tony

    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…

  152. dapro

    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?

  153. PURPPLE

    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.

  154. PURPPLE

    LOL@ the conversate reference

    Top 5 on Bossip Dap?

  155. Redd Tony

    @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!

  156. dapro

    @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)

  157. Nina Knows

    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 *****.. genuwine, aaliyah, tim, missy.. even magoo ugly self.

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

  158. Nina Knows

  174. Sydney

    LOL @ “conversate”

    LOL @ JazzyBooBoo

    Hey, I’m sorry, but I really thought they were talking about horses — I think white horses are pretty. :) I’ve tried to ride a horse, and it hurt my tush-tush.

  175. dapro

    Bossip is blocking my post

  176. dapro

    Malcolm X
    Person I most admire. Self explanatory

    Dr. King

    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

  177. dapro

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

  178. Sydney

    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)

  179. Nina Knows

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

    good list dapro…. Malcolm.. MOST DEF.

    Very interesting about Imhotep.

  180. dapro

    Mike Tyson
    My Father

  181. Nina Knows

    ***** bossip.. they always block the real *****.

    try to send it again.

    If you said something about beyonce it would have went straight thru… smh

  182. Nina Knows

    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.

  183. Sydney

    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. :)

  184. Sydney

    *Sojourner* Sorry for the typo

  185. Nina Knows

    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

  186. Sydney

    What would you like to ask Mike Tyson, Dapro?

  187. Sydney

    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. :)

  188. dapro

    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

  189. dapro

    Bossip stay on the dumb sh*t

    It took 20 minutes to post that, ***** you Bossip

  190. soldiergirl

    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 *****ody heard…L’Boogie-love her, she was fly…..OK that’s my 2% of being nosey for today. Have A Great Evening ALL……

  191. Nina Knows

    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!!

  192. Nina Knows

    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”… CL*****IC

  193. dapro

    Nina

    LMAO…….Yeah I remember that line, cl*****ic

    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

  194. Nina Knows

    LOL… yup I am an 80’s baby fa sho.

  195. Sydney

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

    I would also add Langston Hughes and Richard Wright.

  196. dapro

    Syd..not a tyson fan?

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

  197. Sydney

    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.

  198. Sydney

    *Shakespearean*

  199. dapro

    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

  200. dapro

    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

  201. Sydney

    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. . .

    aw naw yall done got to talking about Imhotep and my mike tyson..daym, did yall bring up *****le 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

I don’t believe all of the rumors about her, but it is obvious she is on somethin ( not sure what, but definitely something.) I love you Lauryn and I cant wait til you make that comeback that everyone is waiting for!!!!!!

  222. MissBlaze43

    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 *****.

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

  223. BKLYNZ OWN

  225. WOOOOOOOWWWWW

    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/ *****ODY

  226. Sam

    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.

  227. She'naenae

    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

  228. qtpa2t

    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’.

  231. tbs
