Lauryn Hill Burns Bridge After Bridge

Lauryn Hll's former Fugee-mates are clearly sick and tired of her diva tendencies and, well, general insanity. And I guess now that they know the reunion isn't gonna happen, they aren't afraid to say it publicly. Recently, Pras told the world how he really felt, and now Wyclef is spilling secrets about how L. Boogie always want to take the credit.

So what’s ultimately holding you guys back?
Lauryn is straight up the problem, bro. She wants to be a producer. Don’t come telling us how to chop up beats so you can get credit for it.

What makes you think she would take the credit?
We did a remix [with] Lauryn for John Legend, for the record “How High.” John Legend was saying our names. You know what she had [him] do? She was like, “Take off Wyclef and Jerry’s names.” Because she wanted people to think that she was the one doing the beat…I’m a producer and I’m a beatmaker with my cousin Jerry Wonder, and I’m a writer. She’s a writer, a vocalist, [and] a great [vocal] composer. And she’s great at picking out samples—she got 20 billion samples but can’t chop ’em up to save her life.

Lauryn is straight up a problem, period. Just one picture from one of her concerts says it all. Still, when Pras and Wyclef talk about her it's almost mean, like they're ganging up on someone who needs help.

More like Chaplin meets Paddington Bear meets Hookers at the Point.

You guys!

But on a serious note, Wyclef says he's a good producer, Pras makes claims to talent but really the one with the goods is Lauryn. They've had their chances to release great solo albums but couldn't/didn't deliver.

I don't know what to make of all the squabbling, I do think Lauryn needs help and that she is the only artist among them. And aren't artists allowed to have their eccentricities.

It's been proven long ago that Lauren had almost NOTHING to do with the writing and production of her debut album. Anyone remember the numerous lawsuits? Her subseqent material proves she has no business anywhere near a producing deck.

She's a fucking loon.
