We have these images, these icons before us that are not reality.
Lauryn Hill

I had to confront my fears and master my every demonic thought about inferiority, insecurity, or the fear of being black, young, and gifted in this Western culture.

I do support artists standing by their beliefs, and walking with integrity. We have to find a better way to commercially exploit music, while giving artists their proper respect. This cannot be done while taking their contributions for granted, or trying to control the scope of their growth and power through threats and fear tactics.

Don't be a hard rock when you really are a gem!
Lauryn Hill

Everybody has a choice. I am not here to shove my light down everybody's throat. For those who don't want it, I have nothing to defend.
Lauryn Hill
Image
For the past several years, I have remained what others would consider underground. I did this in order to build a community of people, like-minded in their desire for freedom and the right to pursue their goals and lives without being manipulated and controlled by a media protected military industrial complex with a completely different agenda.

We think the man with the best rap will protect and save us, but it's not usually that way. Love is something deeper and purer.

Never underestimate those who you scar.
Lauryn Hill
Image
I try not to have a day pass where I don't read something from the Bible. It's like my sustenance to me.
Lauryn Hill
Image
I rarely listen to the music for the sheer pleasure. I'm listening for the tool, I'm listening for the instrument, I'm listening for the art.
Lauryn Hill
Image
God surrounded me with the right team, with the team that I needed to help me exercise all of my ideas. You need that. You need that army, you need that force.

We've got to protect the music and make sure it never gets exploited.
