Music Successes:

w/The Fugees "Blunted on Reality" 2million records sold
w/The Fugees "The Score" Multi-platinum
Solo "The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill" 18 million
Solo "MTV Unplugged 2.0" Platinum

Question: Why Do Platinum Artists Flee Underground?

Lauryn Hill has successfully removed herself from the mass media and any attempt of them to reproduce or exploit for profit any part of her music and or image. Therefore what is found are snippets of the real Ms. Hill scattered in the media and on the internet.

The answer in her words...

    • Best Q&A in my humble opinion. I loved your blog, thanks I learned more about her than I thought I knew; which wasn't much. I have a tremendous respect and admiration for her thanks to reading your blog.

      Morgan: So you made a conscious decision to remove yourself from public life for a considerable time. What did you discover?

      Hill: For two or three years I was away from all social interaction. There was no music. There was no television. It was a very introspective and complicated time because I had to really confront my fears and master every demonic thought about inferiority, about insecurity or the fear of being Black, young and gifted in this Western culture. It took a considerable amount of courage, faith and risk to gain the confidence to be myself. I had to deal with folks who weren’t happy about that. I was a young woman with an evolved mind who was not afraid of her beauty or her sexuality. For some people that’s uncomfortable. They didn’t understand how female and strong work together. Or young and wise. Or Black and divine.

      Thank you for taking the time out to say such lovely things about the blog. This style of journalism is unique, and the goal is to give the artists a venue to express themselves in the most unrestrictive, positive way. Please continue to follow the series as I discuss a different artist each week.

      Namaste
