Lauryn Where Art Thou?!?!?!

Sigh, sigh and JUST sigh……

I was missing me some L-Boogie so much that I've been rocking out to her at work. I've been asking myself the infamous question that everyone else has been asking. WHERE THE HELL IS LAURYN HILL?!?!

"The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill" has to be one my favorite albums in the world. Right up there with "Off The Wall", "Purple Rain" and "All Eyez On Me". Every bit of it was pure genius, even down to her interludes. "Tell Him" and "Ex Factor" are my top songs on that album. I actually had the honor of meeting Ms. Hill about 3 years ago. Although, I was ecstatic, it wasn't the best encounter. I was on my lunch break and she was in front of "B. Smith's". She had on bell bottoms, a pink afro wig and platform shoes with a fish tank in the heel. It wasn't the Lauryn Hill that I knew and loved. She came up to me and in a raspy voice said "Wear that Bob Marley shirt well, RESPECT". Then she jumped into her car like a clown (I mean thief) in the night…very weird experience. Yet, I was sooooo happy to have met her eventhough she was off her rocker:( Lauryn come back, we miss you girl and this music industry NEEDS ya!!!!


Ahhhh her Fugee days....

Young days.....


Now this is the Lauryn we remember...

Then she met "HIM" Mr. Rohan....*side eye*

He broke her heart and this started happening.  First her hair went...then her head:(

It slowly begins......

BOOM-Enters the crazy L-Boogie....

Downhill from here.....

No words....


Dear (Crazy) Lauryn,

I don't know what you've done with the (old) Lauryn Hill.  We want her back though ASAP or else.  Thank you kindly:)

Ciao,

Pedro Strikes again.........


I was first put on to Pedro Martell a few months ago. He blew me away with his dance routine he did to Beyonce's "Check on it". Not only did Pedro let the camera HAVE IT. His confidence was also through the roof!!!!! Although, Pedro was born with no lower torso, he didn't let that stop him. He is a HUGE Mariah Carey fanatic and became an overnight youtube success. I am not going to lie, when I initially saw his video I was taken back. After it all sunk in, I had nothing but respect for him. So, with that being said, I decided to see what he's been up to. After doing a bit of research this is what I found. I am proud to present to you Pedro's music video. YES... music video, I love you Dro but, *BLANK STARE*. This is him lip syncing to Danity Kane's "Secret Place". Eventhough I really don't get it, I can't knock your hustle Mr. Martell! A few of us could learn a thing or two from you. Love who you are my people!



*FYI-For those who never seen the "Check On It" video, here you go....
