Lauryn Hill Speaks...

NPR.org recently got granted a once in a lifetime chance to get in a quick interview with Lauryn Hill and to the surprise of many she opened up! Check out what she had to say...

When they asked the simple yet so complex question of: Why did you stop putting out music?

Lauryn Hill: "There were a number of different reasons," she says. "But partly, the support system that I needed was not necessarily in place. There were things about myself, personal-growth things, that I had to go through in order to feel like it was worth it. In fact, as musicians and artists, it's important we have an environment — and I guess when I say environment, I really mean the [music] industry, that really nurtures these gifts. Oftentimes, the machine can overlook the need to take care of the people who produce the sounds that have a lot to do with the health and well-being of society, or at least some aspect of society. And it's important that people be given the time that they need to go through, to grow, so that the consciousness level of the general public is properly affected. Oftentimes, I think people are forced to make decisions prematurely. And then that sound radiates."

People I'm not sure if Lauryn is on the track to coming back to us, but if so.... It'll be like the music industry getting a full face lift! Just imagine Lauryn, John Legend, Andre 3000, and D'Angelo coming out around the same time...Ok maybe my thoughts just got the best of me :(
