We LOVED Lauryn Hill! She could do no wrong. The gear, the beautiful locks, the mega watt smile! You could offer nothing but praise. That's just the aesthetics, get to the music and oh my, you could find yourself in any one of those tracks. The way she flowed, the lyrics - the voice that gave you chills in 'Ex-Factor', 'How in the hell did she get into my Diary??' you asked... I know for myself, personally, I listened to that CD so many times, I knew every breath, pause, ad-lib - backwards and forwards.
The point being - WE ALL ADORED L-BOOGIE! She was rocking the jeans (had the deal w/ Levi's) with the hot boots, whatever it was - it was stylish, it was sexy, it was fresh and didn't you try to run out and uuh, not copy (wink) the look but rather be inspired by it?? Mmmhmmm, we all did.
So -pause- let's all hold hands and take a moment for our Sister Lauryn (sigh). Aaah, look at her! This is LAURYN, as I remember.
Uh - so beautiful, effortless almost enviable (never envy!) - so, where did it take a really hard left? Cut to - oh I don't know pick whatever recent pic you've seen. If you haven't, unless you're hiding under all the papers in your closet that you need to shred or file, then you've at least heard about her new 'image'.
LET ME SAY RIGHT HERE: This is not 'lets bash Lauryn' fest and there's no hate by any measure. I just want to understand, somebody - please, help me understand!! To get from point A to B, there's a path a journey that leads you there - how did Lauryn get here??
HELP ME UNDERSTAND!
This if Fiyyah!
