L-BOOGIE...

I feel I should probably speak on that newly released Lauryn Hill song that dropped this Monday just gone. If only for the reasons stated in the post below.



Now no one's really sure if this is a new track from Lauryn, or just one that was previously unreleased. From the whole 'Miseducation'-era type vibe I'm getting from it, it seems like the later maybe be true. However for music's sake lets hope not. Lauryn is on somewhat of a comeback this year after a God knows how long hiatus from the game, only popping by to stick her head around the corner every now and then. She's performing at the Rock the Bells concerts and rumours are circulating of a possible forthcoming album.
Yes Ms. Hill went a little psycho with the make-up in more recently released images of herself. She better resembled a clown than the undisputed Hip Hop Queen emcee that we all know and love. However I don't believe it true for one minute that she had the psychological issues suggested. Just because someone chooses to relieve them self of the spotlight, does that make them crazy. Dave Chappelle's running away to Africa and then coming back to explain on 'Inside The Actor's Studio' is probably the best example out there.
Anywho, after robbing us of more sure-to-be classic material post-'The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill,' lets hope she's back to stay. This track is dope.

L-BOOGIE AND ATCQ TO PERFORM AT ROCK THE BELLS

The line-up list below isn't lying folks! You read right, Lauryn Hill is going to be performing at Rock the Bells (yeah that thing i was so close to making last year). She's back from a long, long leave of absence although she has been making some small waves on the underground with various performances here and there. One of those performances being on Def Poetry Jam where she set conspiracy theorists alight with her vicious attack on 'the system.'
Hill is alleged to be performing a set featuring songs from the classic Miseducation of Lauryn Hill among other work including tracks with the Fugees.
Another surprise is the inclusion of A Tribe Called Quest who will be performing their legendary Midnight Marauders, if your not familiar with that album then sorry you're just not familiar with Hip Hop.

8/22/10 - Shoreline Amphitheatre, San Francisco CA
